when they are not remixing the likes of example, tinie tempah and avicii, or hosting bbc 1xtras d&b mix show dc breaks are busy making dance floors the world over quake in fear. their subwoofer-worrying, rib-rattling approach to writing drum & bass with a melodic spin has earned them a position as true leaders in the genre. all made the more potent as they unleash another immense release on the ram records imprint.

from the unlikely bass music hotspot of austin, texas, the mighty vvv returns to fortified audio with his strongest material yet in the form of his – and the labels – debut album. if you slept on the projects ep we released in 2010, nows the time to get acquainted with the dynamic progressive garage thats garnered praise from the likes of martyn and oneman. while still giving nods to the classic sounds of ghost, early tempa and vintage dem-2 productions, across the sea updates these formats with deep and futuristic synth work, subtle but weighty basslines and precision rhythms that mark vvv out as one of the most formidable producers working in the crowded field of bass music. this time around its not only the future sounds of london that are present, but also the ghosts of classic chicago house, richard d james-esque electronica and an ethereal contemporary soul sound. across the sea showcases the strongest work to date from a guy we consider to be one of the best in the game

here comes the next wave of techno from darknet, with two massive peak-hour slammers by kroman celik and logotech, plus remixes from mark morris and kc1. limited first press on transparent purple wax!

komonazmuk drops a tough slice of deep, stepping, and melodic dubstep for our 11th release… with his history in rave culture stretching back to the oldskool days, through releases on hardleaders & moving shadow with ice minus, right up to his current cutting edge productions, keiran lomax aka komonazmuk has got his fingers in many musical pies. having had big releases on scene-leaders like tempa, and his debut album coming on h.e.n.c.h. later this year, his versatility as a producer and engineer is second to none.

dj support: mary anne hobbs (radio 1), angel molina (sonar/tresor), nathan jonson (wagon repair), appleblim (skull disco / apple pips), headhunter (tempa.), micky lunch (naked lunch) and major radio plays in uk, usa, canada, czech republic, france, germany, ireland, spain and switzerland... coming from the musical melting pot that is bristol england orphan101s blend of four to the floor dubstep and techno have brought him fast acclaim and attention of genre impresarios like appleblim (apple pips / skull disco), headhunter (tempa), jus wan (apple pips), dj pinch (tectonic) and rsd (punch drunk records) to name but a few.

after fter the much acclaimed first release on version by timeblind, version002 features 2 mesmerizing 808 workouts from label boss orson himself. >madness< opens on a atmospheric tip only to switch into eruptive wall shaking subs and syncopated percussions. >808 dub< on the flip is a swinging late night groove with swirling fragments of dub and jungle echoing in and out of the mix. he has been one of the pioneers to push the blossoming sound of dubstep outside of the uk from early on. hes been running his version events since 2005 with guests like digital mystikz, skream, loefah, kode 9, benny ill and many more. orson is known for his exclusive upfront dubplate selection and has played at such legendary events as the mighty >dmz< dance in brixton in early 2008 and 2009, the >big apple records< christmas party and at >dubwar< in new york. the future looks promising for orsons productions, he has been busy in his own studio aswell as working on beats with the likes of benny ill of horsepower productions (one collabo tune will be out on tempa very soon), mala from digital mystikz and sgt pokes. dj support by : appleblim, dj chef, clouds, bunzero, hops, dj skratch and many more. roundtable discussion in de:bug mag with mark ernestus, shackleton, kode 9, pinch and orson

italys marco donnarumma indicated some of the potential of his kuoyah project with last aprils digital release for frijsfo, earning enthusiastic tips from the likes of boomkat. nonetheless, theres no doubt that his debut on wax ups the game ? even in the face of a mix from sully ? by applying a focus capable of working magic in 2010s open-ended dubstep dance. its an overused comparison that probably deserves to be buried, but angel dub does reek of horsepower productions, or more precisely the ducking 2-step and basic channel steals of benny ills classic tempa ep with hatcha.

the dc series continues with cosmin trg, known for his releases on hotflush and tempa a.o. >see other people< is an infectious garage stepper, announcing the future of r&b. big tune! >groove control< continues on a techno tip. it starts off deep and mysterious, evolving in a pulsating, acidic bassline driven killer. we like trg!

after a brief hiatus, we return with a delicate slice of wax that epitomises what ldr stands for ? new, original music from hardworking, young artists. after the success of datas >blowpipe< on ld5 and a string of genre-busting releases on labels like metalheadz, critical, revolution and tempa, data brings us a grimy gem in the form of >liberty city blues<. incident from hungary and paul sg from austria blew us away with this track which featured on our recent knowledge magazine cover cd mix.
>liberty city blues< is a minimalistic piece of jungle music reminiscent of early photek or source direct. from the outset the tune just bubbles with menace and keeps on building and evolving throughout. a pure bass-heavy slice of proper jungle.
>autumn drops< is a soulful roller that shows that this crew are ones to watch in 2010. full of melancholy, icy vibes and a subtle basslinethat gets right under your skin, this track is a firm favourite for this year.

some serious biznizz goin on here, no doubt - elementals brand new 12 inch for reduction brings some major, dirty break-step action to the floor, phat-ass, squelchy, distorted, squashed low-end and rollin beats make for two dark and heavy drops. this is the kind of style that wears its junglist roots on its sleeve, with a real, late night warehouse rave nastiness - and we totally love it. elementals growing reputation for tough dubstep cuts is supported by a succession of releases from him for labels such as audio freaks and urban graffiti, he s had tracks appear alongside scuba on hotflush, released with caspa & rusko (dub police / destructive), been remixed by boxcutter, and featured on fabric live.32 mixed by tayo. bristols reduction label first debuted with a plate from wedge (paradise lost / z-audio) featuring a remix from gatekeeper (soul jazz / tempa). here they bring a prime slice of local talent from a west country city positively teeming with innovative music.

as house continues to take its stronghold over techno, even in berlin the epicentre of all things minimal, we gear up for a summer of ‘actual’ dancing over regimented arm pumping and head nodding. having impressed laurent garnier, m.a.n.dy, solumun, karotte, tg (tim green) and ellen alien last year with his collaboration with enzo elia, martin patiño caught the attention of true to form with his fresh, playful approach to house and techno and hypnotic percussive elements .born in italy, but with south american roots and now living in berlin, you can hear vibrant audio recollections seeping onto every groove. citing dali’s surrealist paintings as another creative reference (a nod to which is contained in the track title ‘the tempation’), you could say martin draws on the atypical compared to your average electronic producer.the result is the blissful simplicity of ‘sundays’ on the a side, percussive, sundrenched and a perfect am terrace lifter.on the flip side is peak time tech house groover ‘the temptation’ and a hypnotic, dub heavy remix of black dahlia (the original of which will appear on the digital only release) produced with long term cohort enzo elia. true to form, now in its 5th year, showcases tracks and remixes from such respected producers as pan pot, gavin herlihy, jesse rose, samim, pascal foes, mikael weil, justin maxwell, claude von stroke, subjekt, tom ellis, leif and more

trg is undoubtedly the hottest grime producer on the circuit right now and has been whipping up a storm with releases on cool & deadly, trouble & bass and is now signed to tempa. two heavyweight smashers on very limited against the grain, buzz saw shaped vinyl make this a real collectors piece.

side a sees the bristol based duo appleblim and komonazmuk join forces once again to create a deep, dubby, techno house remix which fires on all cylinders. appleblim is one of the worlds hottest producers right now, many know appleblim from his legendary work with peverelist under the name skull disco, he also mixed the fifth in the series of dubstep allstars on tempa back in 2008 and is also enjoying the success of his own label apple pips which will see the release of an appleblim and komonazmuk collaborative project inspired by the success of the remixes they have done together. on the flip it s up to marlow to deliver finest dubstep melancholy.

for our third release apple pips is proud to present a relative newcomer from san francisco ? jus wan. out of the countless demos and mp3s we get sent, jus wan instantly stood out with his blend of 2 step rhythms, techno soul and deep subs?appleblim cut both tracks and got a great reception to them, so much that he included action potential on his dubstep allstars vol.6 mix cd for scene-leaders tempa? action potential ? deep as you like?relentless rolling riddim, berlin techno style delayed stabs and a solid foundation of bass make this a fresh take on the sound? affletic ? switching the tempo to 140bpm and twisting the same sounds into ever more entrancing shapes t++ shows his love of drumfunk producers such as paradox in a new exciting context

the first release of lost souls hits hard with big tracks from techno men misc.(klang, mute, kompakt) and featuring dubstep and techno rerubs from none other then headhunter (tempa, ascension) and perc (drumcode, clr, perc trax)

40 massive r& b hits inside !!!

moving on from the last release this compilation captures stars of the underground in their transition to superstar status. this is grime vol ii features all the legends of the grime scene, including wiley, skepta, kano, dizzee rascal and lethal bizzle alongside some of the other superstars who passed through the scene such as katy b, n-dubz, chipmunk, wretch 32, devlin and tinie tempah, without forgetting the new breed of talent such as p money, tre mission and scrufizzer. disc one features current grime anthems while disc two takes you back through the history of grime. this one is a must for all grime listeners past and present.

wretch 32, real name jermaine scott, is one of the uks most loved mcs - from the underground up. from his early years in londons flourishing grime scene back in the early 00s, the tottenham-raised lyricist has always stood out from the crowd. his conscious and reflective bars, along with an extremely relaxed flow, made him a firm favourite on the uk hip hop circuit. much like tinie tempah, wretch 32 has proved that british mcs can reach the mainstream without selling their soul to pop. the first fruits of this crossover success were tasted in january 2011, when his single traktor broke into the domestic top five following an appearance on the bbc sound ofÉ list. and his second official single, unorthodox, fared even better, peaking at number two in april. so its clear that much has changed since his debut lp of 2008, wretchrospective - but has public recognition come at the expense of what marked wretch 32 out as such a talent in the first place? not at all - on the opening title-track, the rapper lets the listener know that its the same old wretch at work. over a drum-heavy hip hop beat he sets up the rest of the album well, advising everyone to fasten their seatbelts as he prepares to take them on a ride that they wont forget in a hurry. never be me finds wretch delving into his past, opening up about making certain decisions in life that got him to where he is today. featuring rnb newcomer angel on the hook, the track has an inspirational feel to it - all over another impressive, but this time more grime-influenced, beat. a true standout is anniversary, with alex mills on singing duties - its a love song, minus any cheese. then the album lurches into the electro-infused sanes the new mad - a glimpse into wretchs party lifestyle, with ladies and alcohol at the forefront of his attentions. and closer dont go just might be one of the tracks of the year.

daydreaming is the debut album release from paris based artist von d on boka records. a fusion chef of bassweight, von d has deftly sliced into unpredictable genres, concocting strange and beautiful new forms.the album sees von d collaborating with the internationally renowned foreign beggars, phephe, david boomah (vocalist for shy fx murderation), riya & mr lager, while his previous work has also been remixed by a host of respected dubstep djs including skream and tes la rok. born into the cultural melting pot of the paris suburbs, von d found his souls conduit in a beaten up old drum kit. whilst the riddims of king tubby alongside the foetal jungle of photek and serge gainsborg were initial inspirations, after forging a successful path as a sound engineer von d honed his sound sculpting skills to a razor sharp edge. von ds productions have been picked up by skream, arguably one of dubsteps most successful artists, who snapped up a release for his label disfigured dubs. dj chef released von ds >show me< on his sub freq imprint, which quickly became one of the most talked about releases of 2009 Ð so much so that three time dmc world champion dj craze has been supporting the track in recent mixes. not one to be complacent, von dÕs kept up the pressure with releases on black acre, tempa, soul jazz and argon Ð enough to attract the attention of bbc radio 1s gilles peterson who has included a track for his hotly anticipated brownswood bubblers compilation album. von d has created a global buzz with his numerous explosive live performances featuring unreleased and exciting material from himself as well as other established producers. having had a host of successful tours in the united states, europe and china, von d has now set his sights on touring new zealand and australia
