this is the third single taken from boohgaloo zoos devastatingly good self-titled debut album. >i got< is a relentless disco groover while >come to this< is a slow-mo exotica house bomb (whatever that may mean) with some hints of exotica. two fat and funky joints. this time, the remixes are courtesy of mugwump and aardvark. mugwump takes the original and turns it into an electrifying discoid tour de force. aardvark does his thing, which lately means taking a song, and giving it an electronic shock treatment. those who like forward thinking electronic music will go bananas for this one. post >nameyourfavourite<?

awesome surprise remix action with pinch & elemental - tip!

now.. we know a lot of people have been waiting for this one so without further delays we present matt-us highly anticipated >watchin u< ep. the perfect tune to end this sublime ep.. nothing but quality in here!

incl. well known producers such as skream, instra:mental, scuba and commix rub shoulders with some inspiring new talents such as indigo, synkro, mode and code 3. the theme of the album is quality timeless music, whether it be a dance floor killer such as systems >observation point< or loxy and resounds >vertigo< through to the tangerine dreamlike sounds of croms >invisible cities< or strays >pushed<, this album truly represents the more experimental side of drum and bass as opposed to the crash bang wollop!

as weve been stalking the funckens for ten years now, after stumbling upon their parts series on dub when we were still students, trekking religiously to the sirius on weekends, eventually spending nights in bus shelters to assist to half a live in a school that only served wine, and trying to organise a bash with them in a squat that burned down a week before the bash, before finally inviting them to an exhibition closing party that incidentally marked the beginning of thin consolation, they seemed an obvious choice for a release for the tenth anniversary of unrezt and the fifth of thin consolation. having already graced thin consolation with an album in 2006 as dif:use (with long-time partner cor bolten), this time we requested from them a 12inch.

the 2 finest exports hungary has to offer are joining for forces for this intermission release on subway. dj madd comes correct with the epic arpz3000 a rough detroit like stepper in the signature dj madd vibe. play support: emalkay, youngsta, antiserum, noah d, matt-u, dj madd, the others and shitloads more.

yasmin = the new uk sensation ?? incl stenchman dubstep mix

aardvarck comes with >gloom<, an offshoot of his highly successful >bloom< imprint. >gloom< is the second split effort between aardvarck and dutch beatmaster kubus (opgezwolle, top notch). it features aardvarck on an oldschool techno vibe with deep and greasy beats plus his signature style breaks. on the flipside kubus delivers three insanely loud and bass heavy bangers. limited white label!

its not every day that we receive demos from new artists that totally rock our world, but when its happens its a joy and a reminder of why we are still doing this. and so tears of joy rolled onto the speakers when we played policys demos. when contacted policy he told us he is from nyc, is a part time movie director and only started making music recently. out of the bunch of tracks we received >specialty party< and >light over fort lee< form his debut ep. both tracks challenge the beat spectrum once again and definitely speak his cinematic mind. expect more music from policy on rush hour later this year. he surely is our contender for best newcomer of 2011.

first 12 inch in an exciting new series from all city - >collabs< joins the labels favorite musical minds together, and this first killer pairing of martyn (3024/techtonic)& mike slott (all city / lucky me) is a hell of a way to kick things off

nice price deal !!!

saigon recordings reaches release number 3, following on from the successful orphan101 debut and recent duffstep single. saigon003 signals the return to action by scottish based producer gravious who originally made a name for himself in the early years of now legendary label hotflush recordings. junction city ep features three tracks of shiny, happy future funk with a distinct space-theme.

following the release of their stunning summer debut ep >love pressure<, sepalcure û a brooklyn-based duo composed of travis stewart and praveen sharma û have announced their second ep featuring four brand new cuts, due for release in late january 2011 on hotflush recordings. having produced for years individually as machinedrum (luckyme) and praveen (of praveen & beno¯t), their new collaboration breathes a new life of its own, reflected in its distinctive, lush sonic warmth and a refreshing style of composition that is as equally fitting on the dancefloor as it is in the comfort of ones home. the fleur ep shows a progression of sepalcures depth of field, weaving distant chords, soulful vocals, and organic rhythms into vibrant, immersive soundscapes, with echoes of house, techno, and dubstep within

dubstep don vent brings the pain with this release on hardcore beats. >shogun of the dark< will slice you up like a samurai with is stupidly big bass that switches as the vocal samples interrupt the rolling beats. on the flip sees vent team up with critically acclaimed rap, grime and dubstep group foreign beggars. so need we say more?

optimum is malcolm chen, a new producer from south east london. he has collaborated with ikonika recently but planet mu are very happy to be releasing his first solo 12 inch.
the lead track >max power< lives up to its name, mixing tight electro-soca drums with a barrage of ravey riffs that build up with strange transporting noises, creating an almost unbearable, driving intensity without ever having to reach for the wobbly bass or other cliches.

planet mu are proud to present the first ep from uk production don and terror danjah remixer swindle. he is taking influences from grime and uk funky to create a new synthed-out funk. the energetic lead track >airmiles< is currently being hammered by mistajam and target on bbc, bok brackles, jj and oneman on rinse. the rest of the ep doesnt let up either, with twisting bass tones of >daredevil<, and the hyperfunk of >coffee< among the highlights.

ikonika returns to planet mu with three new tracks which follow up her debut album on hyperdub and lots of work as an in demand remixer and a brilliant dj.
in contrast to the recent album, these three tracks have a sad, emotional quality to them and a paired down, minimal production which shares as much in common with techno as it does with dubstep.

brighton based producer alan mysons ital tek project returns to planet mu for a second long player.
meeting dubstep and garages matrix of sub bass and lurching 2-step rhythms half-way with electronica at its most melodic, >midnight colour< is its name and its epic. the mood has lightened since his debut >cyclical< plus the tempo has dropped to a more languorous 130 bpm creating more space to enfold the melody and texture.

torqux and twist are back in effect on wicky lindows with a killer new ep brimming over with tectonic-sized sonic textures and brutal bass.

dj madd has been a known face within the dubstep scene for while now.. his releases on blackbox, war, boka, tube10 have been getting massive support.. but his subway debut is probably his best work yet!

surefire sounds third release features three up-and-coming producers from two points on the map: distal and mayhem hailing from atlanta, georgia and hxdb from vancouver, canada. collaborating together, this trio brings together a pair of innovative tracks that exemplify the exciting future of dubstep and bass music in 2011.

following on from his last release on guinea pig, sfr steps up and delivers a game of two halves on his latest release. >dreaming in computers< is a progressive, techno influenced slice of real dubstep - definitely one for the head nodders, this one sucks you and doesnt let go. in contrast >alien idiot< is a dancefloor friendly bassline steppa, which twists and turns at every corner, keeping listeners on their toes!

following the superb inaugural 12 inch from unltd, borrowed language returns with this incendiary split release from label owner israel vines and unltd. >reclaim<, a collaborative effort from vines and unltd, opens the a-side in fine style, its a grimy, broken-beat behemoth that is sure to find favor with those who like their techno dark and atmospheric. a robotic machine-press groove and monotone bass rumbles underpin quasi-gothic synth textures à the effect is truly mesmerizing.

dub kid and dj hybrid let the styles collide on their second run for fresh audio addict label. upfront whitelabel release.

the seventh release on dva records comes from a young, unknown resident of manchester named gugu. staying true to the dva style, his two tracks are fine examples of todays hybrid funky house scene, maintaing the 4 to the floor drum patterns whilst drawing on a wide range influencesà and as it suggests in the epÆs title, is packed full of cuban flava. straight up music designed to make people dance. it wouldnÆt be right to get a dva release without a feature from the man himself, rinse fmÆs grimey breakfast show host mr scratcha dva. as a slight deviation from the norm û and in a way a return to the styles his earlier production û dva lays down a heavyweight slice of synth laden half step, defiantely one to pull your dirty face too. check it out and get back to us with your thoughts.

the subdivision return home to paradise lost with the open your eyes ep: epic vibes, hypnotic bass work, and complex programming manifest themselves as what might be considered their best work to date, and surely a production which defines their unique style for building cinematic tracks of epic proportions. the structure is trademark tsd: a beautifully drawn-out breakdown compliments the progressively building tension, leading to a thunderous climax toward the end. this tune is more of a journey than simply a dj tool (although its a treat to mix with), and djs such as bunzer0, djunya, 501 and claw have used it to devastating effect in the mix.

the exceptional quality of these two pieces of music, combined with obvious dance floor appeal and a coincidentally similar theme made this pairing a logical choice. one side is a hybrid hip hop-dubstep monster put together by los angeles based producer bare. the flip is a drum & bass stomper created by accomplished british producer and long time basshead family member dj silver. both songs are a proven commodity for any bass dj and are causing ruckus on dance floors around the globe.

>alignment e.p.< by amoss is the forth release from touched by records. amoss, aka james evans and andy tweedale, originate from the midlands. at just 21, the pair have been making big waves within their chosen genre their incredible talent has already served them well with their track >we all grow< featured on the cut up boys ministry of sound mash up mix 2010. having recently received support from the likes of loxy data, we are expecting great things from amoss and many more exciting releases with their name on it.

disfigured dubz kick off the new year with this single by bristolian producer phaeleh, hot off the back of his debut album >fallen light<. with this offering, he sticks very much to his trademark style. an intricate and ever progressing drum track provides the spine for the thought provoking cloudy atmospheres, glittering melodies and moody chords. he somehow manages to catch a similar vibe to early hardcore and acid house with its feeling of optimism and a new found freedom.

hotflush recordings presents the follow-up single to george fitzgeralds summer debut >the let down< & >weakness<. due for release in mid-january 2011 on hotflush two, this much-touted single is seeing the light of day after its inclusion in scubas groundbreaking sub:stance mix compilation on ostgut ton earlier this year. here we see the budding london-based producer reaching into the brighter side of dubstep and garage styles, achieving a mood that is both blissful and emotive. on the flipside, scuba gives the original mix a churning techno re-flex under his scb guise.

straight off the back of his much talked about >7 breaths< released on dj distances chestplate label, tunnidge steps back up to the deep medi roster with two fresh cuts - >dark skies< and >tribe<. keep an ear out for tunnidge as his arsenal of dubs are fully loaded and he is on the way up!
radio support: mistajam (1xtra), hatcha (kiss) dj support: mala (dmz), distance (chestplate), cyrus (random trio)

hackman surrenders his last single before his album drops. moving from his technicolourfunky / grime hybrid of his first ptn excursion, >made up my mind< & >bam bam< descends into solid house beats and hefty basslines. look out for his forthcoming album on ptn in 2011.

this young talented duo is showing us how the heavier side of dubstep should be done! you can really hear from their productions that they know their way around the studio and when you play some of genetix tunes on a big system, make sure you put up some health hazard signs! death by subs is a high possibility.

synkro is no doubt one of the most talented producers out on the dubstep circuit at the moment and this single here shows us what synkro is all about. his profile has been blowing up no end recently and has had a release on med school (hospital) and has a track signed on d-bridges imprint exit, due for release late on the year.

>blow out< by ed solo is a sumptuous club banger that riffs off a ravey vocal, junglistic drums and epic pads and strings. the labels 11th release skips smoothly between full and half time beats and also makes sure to deliver a healthy portion of the kind of bass mayhem you have come to expect from sludge. on the flip jfb teams up with vocalist christina nicola for >rise<. get on it!

freeze & lx one (aka joker d) alongside sp:mc & youngsta on the 11th installment by osiris music.

nice price deal !!! no doubt looking for somewhere with a bit of political stability and a brighter economic future, 24 year old polish producer jan dudzik aka sekta recently joined many of his compatriots by leaving london and farking off back to his native warsaw. luckily, he left us a bottle of the finest vodka to remember him by, and a four track ep of stepping rhythms, fat bass and dubby atmospherics to help wash it down.

lol is a bit of an unusual project, its just a thing in its own right, its not for anything or anyone in particular, its just an lp made by three bored people who like music that sounds like it did before the advent of the internet. the project was recorded in the bedroom of a warehouse conversion in hackney wick (bedrooms can be incredibly creative spaces, seeing as most of us were conceived in one). they wrote about self-obsession, social anxiety, drug abuse, and failed relationships using pre-21st century recording devices such as vhs tape, 70s valve microphones, analogue synths, cheap argos catalogue guitars, and 80s drum machines.
