After establishing their own label, Blu Mar Ten Music, in 2009 and releasing the critically acclaimed albums 'Natural History' (2009)
and 'Love is the Devil' (2011), winter 2013 sees the arrival of Blu Mar Ten's highly anticipated new LP, 'Famous Lost Words'.
Featuring 13 tracks of pure and unapologetic drum & bass, the album inhabits a similar territory to the previous two; full of emotional
movements fused with tough beats that reinforce BMT's position in the genre as originators of complex, atmospheric music.
Brooding dancefloor destroyers like 'Ariel' and 'Holding Pattern' deliver rugged basslines and harsh drums, contrasting beautifully
with the more fragile and otherworldly soundscapes of title track 'Famous Lost Words' and 'Night Shift'. 'Big Shots' and 'Motor City'
serve up frantic layers of euphoria while 'Remembered Her Wrong' wanders off into the bizarrely abstract. Famous Lost Words 71
minute duration also features an impressive roster of collaborators. 'Thin Air' layers the alluring vocals of Robert Manos atop a bed of
whirling synths and rolling bass. Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Agné Genyté, injects a dose of soothing lullaby tones into
'Somewhere', 'Break It All Apart' and 'In Your Eyes', while long-time friend and label mate Seba makes an appearance on 'Hunter'
whose growling bass and Bladerunner synths play to the strengths of both artists. Accompanying the Famous Lost Words project is a
set of live dates around Europe. Beginning at pivotal label/club night, Hospitality in Bristol, the mini tour then travels to the likes of
Russia, Germany, Ireland, Finland and native London.

New release on Noisia's Invisible Recordings. Tracks by NickBee, Axon, Fre4knc and a re-release of Noisia's 'The Tower' featured on the Devil May Cry Soundtrack.

Following hot on the heels of his collaboration EP with Gremlinz for Samurai, Andre Delgado makes his debut solo vinyl release as
Homemade Weapons for Samurai Music in the form of the 'Kintaro' EP. Having been involved for many years in designing music in
one form or another, Andre has always gravitated towards the extreme ends of the spectrum. As Homemade Weapons, Andre has
skilfully designed a totally individual approach to Drum and Bass that marries staccato percussion to a prodding kick drum with
offcuts of familiar break sequences welded tightly to this new militant, voodoo like rhythm.
Gone is the cluttered production of traditional Drum and Bass, stripped back to bare essentials designed to make PA speakers bend
to accommodate this powerful new pattern. Homemade Weapons came to Samurai as a fully formed artist comfortably hitting a
creative peak with tunes like 'Kintaro', & 'The Gauntlet VIP' already created and forming the nucleus of this new sound. Homemade
Weapons has distilled a new rhythmic blueprint from other genres that is 100% his own and can undoubtedly be credited with a
progression in the history books of Drum and Bass music. Dance floor tested and approved at the hands of dBridge, Hype, Loxy, Doc
Scott, Dub Phizix, Skeptical, Rockwell, Jubei, Clarity, Gremlinz, Ruffhouse and many more, we offer you the chance to be part of a
new sound changing the way people hear and interpret Drum and Bass music.

At just 22 years of age, Kove is already a man in demand having set the dance music scene alight with his impressive remixes of John
Newman's 'Love Me Again' and Chase & Status's 'Lost & Not Found'. Now preparing for the next step in his career, 'Measures' EP
out on 21st October via MTA records is four irresistible tracks that confirm Kove as one of the UK's hottest emerging talents.
Already gaining the nod of approval from the likes of RAM Records Andy C and Matrix & Futurebound, Kove demonstrates his worth
on the track 'Searching', with its instant markings of a future house-tinged, D&B classic.
Loaded with bass and built around climatic melodies, Kove's standout quality lies in his dynamic productions, with each track on the
'Measures' EP offering something fresh and new. 'Love For You' is an instant hit with its Balearic-edged, 4/4 piercing snare claps and
throbbing bass that will be sure to animate revelers this summer.
'Lose You' is another example of Kove's stellar production abilities, as sun-drenched percussion is quickly propelled skywards and
replaced with a sparkling intensity, complete with tropical flavours. Now we did tell you Kove could turn his hand to anything...
With backing from Chase & Status's MTA Records who know more than a thing or two when it comes to releasing quality music,
irrespective of genre, Kove's distinctive sound is one you'll be hearing a lot more of in 2013.

It's already time for another vinyl release on m-Atome.One of our fave duo come back on m-Atome for another striking release with hungarian badboy Mindscape.
"Spastic Audio" has been a favorite this year so we naturally thought it deserved a remix and as if we didn't have enough hungarians onbard with Jade and Chris SU,
Mindscape enters the game, bringing his own touch to SOM's "Spastic Audio" and relicked the bassline adding extra grit with some grinding hits and gives the beats a personal rebrush but keeping the vibe of the original.

"Whirpool" is a dancefloor belter just like SOM always manage to do, lead by a moody reece bass and catchy vocals over a pounding beatwork.
Grab it for summer plans !

Having spent more than seventeen cross-genre years featuring on some of dance music's most
prestigious imprints, Blu Mar Ten have opened the doors of their own label to a host of fresh young
talent emerging from the leftfield of Drum & Bass and beyond. Blu Mar Ten Music (BMTM) is a home for the beautiful and the ugly, the
elegant and the awkward, the euphoric and the melancholy.
The seventh release in this new chapter is brought to us by upcoming Estonian producer, Thing who joins BMTM with his trademark
tribal, dubbed out audio. The sound of the frozen North.
Renew:
An intro of pulsing kicks and Arabesque claps drops into what can only be described as Gothic-Dancehall. Renew's driving bassline
underpins a matrix of skittering percussion and dubby fx being fed into a cavernous reverb, all working together to create an
intimidating monolith of a track.
Outer Lands:
Picking up where Renew leaves off, Outer Lands builds layer upon layer of relentless bass while shadowy vocal transmissions and
howling strings burst over the top. This moody little number instantly transforms any club into a long dark tunnel.

Ant TC1 is proud to present Transit 2 - a carefully selected palette of pure, technical drum & bass from producers across the globe
and the latest various artists' compilation from Dispatch Recordings.
Two years have flown by since the seminal Transit One album was dropped to critical acclaim and supported so universally across

Digital & Spirit return to Phantom Audio with their
first and much anticipated brand new material in
nearly 10 years. Original Rockers is a thumping
experiment in dub with it's cavernous echoes,
reverberating beats and booming subs guaranteed
to send shockwaves out from any soundsystem.
Flip to Redo for the duo revving up with a classic
slice of Phantom Audio pressure with it's feverish
break work and driving riffs. A taste of things to
come.... DJ support from the likes of Goldie,
Friction, Bailey, Bryan G, Doc Scott, Randall,
Storm....

What more can be said about Need For Mirrors With a track record as long as my dick NFM have trail blazed through a veritable
who's who of top D&B labels, including Metalheadz, Shogun, V Recordings, Dispatch,Symmetry, Clear Skyz and their own imprint
Zoltar.
With "Voltaire" causing upset with club sound system engineers worldwide as feral youths wile away into a sensory-overload
downward spiral and "Heron Blue" making hints towards Dillinja's take on Strontium Jazz this 12" is undoubtedly going to upset you.
That's why we think you should take a punt and buy it.

Narratives Music proudly present the debut EP of the artist Rhyming in Fives. The 'Hindsight' EP sees a well respected producer
embark on a new journey under a new alias, with an intention to breach the boundaries of Drum and Bass and the 170bpm template.
Fusing drift space ambience, glassy synths and retro drum machines with gritty warm bass grooves, Rhyming in Fives has gathered
sensibilities from the austere 80s pop of Depeche Mode and Gary Numan, the soundscapes of Cliff Martinez and Vangelis, and
transcended to something altogether more futuristic.
This highly anticipated release has already caught the imagination of DJ's across the genres with huge names such as Paul Woolford,
Om Unit, Com Truise and Zomby working it into their multi tempo sets while still finding its way into the record bags of Drum and
Bass' hottest players such as Doc Scott, Jubei.and BBC Radio's Friction.
Lead track 'Hindsight' glistens with the trademark Narratives sound of emotion and contrast. Melancholic calling synths build over
pumping kick drums and beckon the classic bass to grow and soar to an euphoric drop of arpeggiators and driving percussion. The
ability to draw the listener completely in to its immersive groove and simplicity, only feigns the depth of this beautiful track, a depth
which reveals more with each listen.
Turning many heads has been the track 'With You'. Instantly recognisable, it builds on the same retro influences as the flip but is
injected with the vocals of Hana. Bubbling basses, beautiful keys and a song like structure make this a golden addition to the
Narratives catalogue; one that evokes the summer decadence of Kavinsky's 'Drive' movie soundtrack.
The last track on the EP, 'All's Well' takes the Rhyming in Fives sound to a much more brooding and meditative place. Cavernous
bass, reverbs and FX lead this wave of haunting ambience to create a heartwrenching close to this debut EP. Sentimental, emotional
and relentlessly engaging, 'All's Well' refuses to let the listener do anything but be drawn in.
Only furthering Narratives reputation for releasing music of bold quality and longevity, this EP embraces experimentation and genre
shifting sounds whilst having relentlessly moved dancefloors and festivals over the summer months.
DJ Support includes : Friction, Paul Woolford, Doc Scott, Om Unit, Kuedo, Com Truise, Zomby

* A massive two-part release, the 'Nightlife 6' EPs highlight a small selection of the killer sounds Andy's curated for the sixth instalment of his unarguably authoritative mix brand.
* Hive's 'Neo' already has a special place in 'Nightlife' legend: it appeared on Andy's debut mix. Rebooted by none other than Audio, it's been updated with cutlass clarity. Beautifully brutal, heroically heavyweight: Audio never, ever disappoints.
* 'Misfits' is a tag-team tear-up from Ram-signees June Miller and their regular partner in crime Nymfo. Icy angularities abound as we launch with a spooked out lead melody that drops us headfirst into a gnarly, spiked out bass riff and a sharp steppy riddim.
* Unknown Error provides the lush contrast every 'Nightlife' mix is famed for. Soul-laden from its ignition, Janine Small's emphatic vocals cut through the jazz-minded chords with stunning effect. Propelled by some stunning drum sounds and gorgeous piano work, you can file this one under timeless.
* Xtrah completes this first instalment with a bona fide hurter; whether it's the rushy vocal and hardcore twinkles of the intro that hits you hardest or his incredible attention to detail on the percussive groove, this sums up why Xtrah has achieved the spotless scene status he's achieved in such a short time.
* Four dynamite D&B workouts from some of the most exciting names in drum & bass right now, this is a seriously big EP... Now hold tight for 'Nightlife 6' EP Part II!
* Nightlife 6 EP Part I

After almost two years since his last full release, Ghost Mutt makes a long awaited return to Donky Pitch for the four track 'Rumble Pak' EP on November 18th. Further advancing his R&B leaning club productions with influences from dancefloor driven sounds from across the globe - the Rumble Pak EP retains the signature bass, funk and synth from previous releases and turns up the heat with extra jungle breaks, jersey club and grime for a tough set of dancing music. Ghost Mutt first appeared on Dutch label Lowriders in 2010, he then released Platinum Skull and Thoroughbred as part of a split release with Slugabed to kick off the Donky Pitch label followed by the critically acclaimed 'Sweat Mode' EP in early 2012. Since then he has remixed both Lockah and ARP 101 x Elliott Yorke, receiving heavy rotation on BBC Radio 1 as well as playing Glade festival, holding down his residency at the Donky Pitch club night and going on a tour of Australia.

The hugely anticipated album is the sixth instalment of the now legendary series that began in 2003 (the last mix was released in 2010).
* Famed for dropping exclusives, dubs and upfront cuts that no other DJ will own for months, Andy C genuinely breaks future anthems, and each volume of 'Nightlife' represents a forecast for the new directions and emerging talents that will emerge across drum & bass for the years ahead. The debut 'Nightlife' mix championed the then unknown Pendulum; 'Nightlife 2' featured tracks from a young hopeful known as Sub Focus; and the third mix was home to one of Chase & Status's earliest releases.
* These albums serve as reminders of why Andy C is recognised as one of the world's most talented DJs and why his Ram Records imprint is regarded as one of the music industry's most successful independent labels. 'Nightlife 6' is no exception. It's Andy's most in-depth collection so far, with a staggering 100 plus tracks across the three mixes, the majority of which have never been heard before.

International, Dialect & Kosine & Conscious Sounds bring you the highly anticipated 1st release on Jungle Alliance International.

Building upon the foundations laid by his stunning debut single for the label, 'Theme Park / Off Topic', Blu Mar Ten Music is proud to
present the second single from prodigiously talented young producer Frederic Robinson's forthcoming album, 'Mixed Signals'. A
natural successor to the aforementioned single, the two tracks on offer here, 'Bloom' featuring Stray and 'Shore', give a further insight
into the depth and diversity of his work and what you can expect from his debut long player when it drops later this year.
On 'Bloom' Robinson teams up with experimental electronic producer and fellow BMTM alumnus Stray, for a characteristically
forward-thinking and unique exploration of 170bpm's outer possibilities. Built around a skittering tribal rhythm, lush synths and
acoustic instrumentation weave in and out of the track's skeleton over a deep b-line punctuated by elegantly cut ethereal vocals. With
the pair fluidly building and deconstructing layers as the track evolves and effortlessly shifts grooves, the track's nuances make it as
compelling for home listening as it is fresh on the dance floor.
This is paired with the delicate percussive timbres and rich ambience of down tempo offering 'Shore'. Here Robinson's off-kilter,
organic rhythms combine with a dense patchwork of piano, strings and natural textures to create a track that is as beautiful as it is
haunting, aided by the distant call of Robinson's own vocals.
Already receiving support from revered taste makers such as Giles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs and London Electricity, the depth and
quality of Robinson's music is quickly starting to make people stand up and take notice. Quickly proving himself to be an inimitable
talent, the new single is a worthy addition to his musical canon.

Klute returns with a sneak peak from his forthcoming 7th album.
"Best Bits Not Over" showcases Klute's harder side with a rip tearing floor killer thats been causing hell all over the place. Just one
tiny slice of the impending album due to land in the Autumn.
for the flip Klute has invited INVADERZ to take on one of his most popular tunes, "TAKE A BREATH" from his 3rd LP Lie Cheat &
Steal.
Having taken a break to concentrate on their work with Dego & Bugs in The Attic, INVADERZ have returned to D&B with a vengence
with forthcoming releases on Metalheadz, Ram, Commercial Suicide & C.I.A.

Tom Withers aka Klute is unlike any other drum & bass producer in the scene today. From his entry
into the music business fronting the late 80's punk band The Stupids and his early jungle releases on legendary label Certificate 18,
Klute has always set himself apart from the pack never afraid to do things that little bit differently. 15 years in and his story continues
as he prepares to unleash a
staggering seventh studio album, 'The Draft', another accomplished piece of musical ambition from a producer who never fails to
disappoint. Beautifully crafted soundscapes adorn trademark melodicity upon delicate and at times brutal drum & bass for a
complete listening experience that draws the listener in from start to finish. Essential, exquisitely executed bass music for 2013.

The rebirth of Doc Scott's seminal imprint continues with the addition of Poland's Reza to the fold. Releases on Metalheadz and
Samurai as well as being an integral member of Loxy's CX/Cylon camp have solidified Reza's status as one of the new generation of
producers carrying the torch for future thinking Drum & Bass.
"Rain Giver" employs lush synth washes and throbbing bass tones providing the backbone for spaced out percussion, sparse soul
vocals, and marine like atmospherics immersing the whole track with an underwater aesthetic. A fresh and emotive nod to equal parts
Autonomic and Doc Scott's legendary Speed sets.
Things get much more sinister on "Thaw" as Reza teams up with Toronto stalwart Gremlinz after their recent collaboration "Bloom", a
standout on the Samurai/HORO compilation 'Scope'. Icy chords and pummeling kick drums combine with submarine effects and an
immense natty bass line evoking a steely tension throughout the track, referencing the point where Techno, Dub and Drum & Bass
intersect.

limited marbled grey vinyl pressing!
On the A side of this Black, Grey & White vinyl release we have: Retrofit
A mega monster collab by C-Netik from Lisbon and Cooh from Sofia. 4/4 Hardcore Drum & Bass 110% PRSPCT Approved!!

EDM ist die Abkürzung für Electronic Dance Music und nicht erst seit gestern einer der größten und am schnellsten wachsende Musiktrend in den USA.
Vergleichbar mit den Überbegriffen - House' und - Techno' in den 90er Jahren fasst man hierunter meist sehr viele Genres zusammen: Electro House, Dutch House, Trance, Dubstep, Trap - kurzum: genau das was derzeit auf den großen Elektro-Festivals läuft!
Festivals wie das Tomorrowland in Belgien, der World Music Dome in Frankfurt/Main und selbstverständlich die Monsterveranstaltungen in den Vereinigen Staaten belegen: Die EDM Welle ist noch lange nicht an ihrem Scheitelpunkt!
Auf dieser 2CD Compilation werden nun erstmalig die größten Namen des Movements und die Tracks, die nächstes Jahr wichtig sein werden zusammengefasst!
2 CDs mit 40 Titel... Und das LineUp liest sich wie die DJ Mag Top 100: Skrillex, Kaskade, DJ Tiesto, Showtek & Noisecontrollers, Ferry Corsten, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Hardwell, Benny Benassi, R3hab & Quintino, Sander Van Doorn, John Dahlback, Wolfgang Gartner, Laidback Luke, Fedde Le Grand,

finally repressed!
Brand new NOISIA single, you know its HOT!! Including the massive Excision & Datsik remix.

* OVERVIEW: Following the critically acclaimed inaugural 'Programmed' series in February, Program has curated another powerhouse four-piece. Peppered with some of the most talented and creative producers in the global drum & bass game, it's a sterling sonic showcase that leaves no style stone unturned.
* The Italian sonic stallion Maztek takes the lead with 'Dizzy Step'. Celebrating his biggest year so far, the young artist shows why he's currently in huge demand with this precision produced stepper. The bassline scuffs and skitters over the pummelling riddim, acting as both a lead line and the driving force of the track. Following one of Maztek's most monstrous build ups to date, the drop teases as it waits for a bar to show off its savage power. Truly tremendous.
* We head to Moscow for the second track of the EP as Program introduce the blistering new talent Traffic. A muscular medley of blunt bass barks; 'Structures' is a rolling moment of undiluted moodiness. As the track title suggests, the power can be found in the tight, energetic arrangement. Unforgiving, otherworldly pads provide consistency as the bass dynamics weave and bob, fly and sting, nip and tuck with demonstrative darkness.
* The Russian reppage continues as Eastcolors and Noel step up with 'Crispy'. Another example of audio onomatopoeia, 'Crispy' lives up to its name with deadly effect as cutlass-sharp hi-hats and precise kick drum punctuation drive the groove into the future. There's a playful air about the unpredictable bassline as it heaves us back and forth across the floor, creating space for the turbo riddim to flourish and short-but-dreamy pads on the breakdown to breath.
* It's down to Stealth and Altair to provide the EP's final, feisty climax. A tried and tested partnership over the last few years, the duo deliver the goods in every way... Opening with blissed out processed guitar strums, oceanic pads and subtle string sprinkles, a rich, warm soulful vocal captures our attention before the elements switch and a gritty bassline takes over. Gradually the lush instrumentation trickles back into the blend, allowing for a stunning breakdown where the vocal really comes into its own. Then, at the blink of a beat, we're thrown back into staccato bass groove and steppy riddim. Barbed but beautiful, it's the epitome of contemporary soulful D&B.
Four next level cuts, four of the most exciting names to have emerged in D&B in recent years. It's time, once again to get with the program!

Scott Allen & Deeper Connection turn up the heat once again presenting the Solemn Shores EP on Fokuz Recordings little sister, Celsius Recordings!

On the A side we find 'Sight Unseen'. A well balanced organic sounding roller with some moody vibes, spaced out pads and a tight drumline. A great example of where liquid is right now in 2013. On the flip Scott Allen goes solo with the EP's title track. A dubby influenced piece of d&b with lush textures. Watch out for the digital release with three extra tracks coming soon, a perfect addition to any liquid set!

'Having picked up DJ Mag's 'Best Compilation Album Of The Year' Award for the first part of the 'Way Of The Warrior' album series in 2011 in celebration of 50 Shogun Audio releases, we return with part two of our critically acclaimed label showcase, bringing you a selection of the finest drum & bass music created by our ever-evolving entourage of Shogun Audio artists.
* Featuring future bass technology from Shogun's inner and outer circles including Friction & K-Tee, Rockwell, Icicle, Technimatic and Spectrasoul, alongside contributions from Joe Ford and Fourward there's not a stone left unturned.
We would like to thank all those involved that made this new album possible, it's truly an honour to work with such a talented group of producers who are continually pushing barriers beyond the forefront of electronic music in 2013. Enjoy...'

If ever there was a man in drum & bass who needed no introduction, it's D-Bridge. Having made his name as one half of Future Forces Inc, then again as a quarter of the legendary Bad Company, D-Bridge's career has seen him push the D&B envelope time and again.

*Dabs + Kwality's anthemic 'Skull & Bones' from HZN067 gets the remix treatment from current D&B darling Stray and jack of all trades Sam Binga for HZNX013.
*Stray gets all jungle juke for the a-side that has been getting battered across festival land this summer. Frantic hi-hats, stuttering kicks and pounding 808 bass have made this a crowd favourite - if dubplates still existed they would have been worn out to see-through by now.
*Sam Bings brings a more carnival atmosphere to proceedings - Kwality's patois vocals are chopped up, pitched up and down and take centre stage while the energetic drum loops and perc keep bodies moving and heads nodding. Serious riddims here, ya dig

*The Dream Thief series from Horizons Music has already seen three spectacular releases, with music from a very real who's who of contemporary, leading edge drum & bass. The phenomenal fourth instalment is no different, with a total of twelve tracks across three different formats. Horizons' reputation for finding music which is that little bit different, that little bit special, will be enhanced by the album, which presents the full range of drum & bass in 2013.
*Amoss team up with MCJC on the deep, menacing Bleed It, whilst The Invaderz continue in that flowing yet intimate territory on Quo Vardis, which picks up the pace to become a towering roller of a track. You won't want to be Trading Places with anyone on DLR's track, which blends some old skool sensibilities with a resolutely modern take on the sound.
*Horizons, as ever, has gathered together a selection of the finest names in the scene. Utopia Music's Mako comes correct with the devastating Hungry For Lies, which is followed by The Shield, from Gremlinz & Rumbleton, an otherworldly chunk of spacey, dub-influenced goodness.
*The last three tracks readily demonstrate quite why Dream Thief 4 is such essential listening. Detail's Human Trust is an intricately detailed vision of a nightmarish future world, whilst Naibu's Comfort Zone manages to combine warming, human sounds with an electronic pulse. Hydro and Instant close Dream Thief with the epic Sanctity, which draws together the themes and sounds of the record to a fitting end.
*Horizons. Dream Thief 4. An album without equal in 2013. Take a trip, learn a lesson, and discover for yourself the power and beauty of drum & bass music.

Spearhead Records are proud to present the return of a legend, the one and only Jonny L.
* Over the last 21 years Jonny has gained a reputation as one of dance music's innovators. You can always expect something a little different from this man, and this is no exception.
* From the classic rave sounds of 'Remember' to the straight up face tearing sounds of 'The Bass Break', this is the eclectic sound of a true raver.
* Without doubt this album will get a big response across the d&b scene and beyond. Some are going to love it, others are going to despise it, but one think you can't do it ignore it.
* Support from BBC 1xtra, Bryan G, Crissy Criss, Fabio & Grooverider, London Elektricity, BCee, Nu:Tone, S.P.Y., Spectrasoul, AI and more...

As the build up to the ever impending release of Jubei's 'To Have and Have Not' Album continues we tease even further with this ultra limited release of this 10' hand stamped, hand signed and hand numbered vinyl release including two of the (many) stunning highlight tracks taken from the L.P.


*'The Moment' picks up exactly where Jubei and Flowdan's gargantuan anthem 'Say Nothing' left of. The result once again prove that In combination the pair are nothing short of explosive, the release should carry a health warning, devastation is 100 percent guaranteed here, no prisoners will be spared and every dancefloor will be left in millions of tiny pieces as once again Jubei and Flowdan deliver their collaborative brutal genius.
*As if that wasn't enough the flip backs up with 'Tip the Scales' featuring everyone's favourite Manchester M.C, DRS. 'Tip the Scales' reaches into the deepest, darkest depths, providing that late rolling shuffle to keep the headz nodding and the people moving, the perfect compliment to the A side and again another snapshot of the overall brilliance of the entire albums excellence.
*Finishing off everything nicely and to compliment the outstanding quality of the contents we are issuing the release in a very very limited number of exclusive 10' Vinyl press which are all individually numbered, signed and hand stamped by Jubei himself, by the time you have finished reading these notes they will be disappearing rapidly, so move quick, these definitely wont hang around for long.

* The wait is over and we are proud to unleash what is easily one of the most highly anticipated and talked about electronic albums of the year.
* Jubei's first L.P 'To Have and Have Not' released on the seminal Metalheadz label shows exactly why Jubei is one of the most highly revered artists within the scene, and 'To Have & Have Not' delivers exactly what you would expect - the highest pinnacle of outstanding drum and bass/ dubstep within its purest and most credible form.
* There is no compromise here, only undiluted content that stays true to the real art form and true to the craft, this isn't music for faint hearted, or music aimed at infiltrating popular playlists, this is music for the those who truly appreciate the finest aspects of these incredible genres themselves and at every point ' To Have and Have Not' from start to finish keeps its roots kept firmly set in the music's underground foundation.
* The album delivers with an unfaltering intent and truly demonstrates Jubei's incredible versatility with tracks that traverse and transcend from one corner of the music to the next with an almost effortless and misleading ease.
* Each composition is within its own unique right a standout highlight and the track list includes a ridiculous amount of collaborative talent. Credits see Jubei once again call on the vocal prowess of Flowdan for the LP's massive follow up to Say Nothing, 'The Moment,' 'State of the Art ' Flips things further with SPMC and co production credits bring together the combined forces of Goldie, D-Bridge & Youngsta just to name three.
* Albums like this don't come along every day and whilst many artists now imitate with sights set firmly on commercial success only a very select few can originate and continue to cross boundaries and continuously and consistently.
* 'To Have and Have Not' sees Jubei make a clear statement and is easily a contender for the best Drum & Bass / Dubstep Album of the year.

* First appearing on the scene in 2005, Liquid V's now famous Club Sessions have quickly become one of the slickest compilation series of Liquid DnB around. Featuring tracks from the scene's biggest producers such as Roni Size, Fresh, Calibre, D-Bridge the first album laid the foundations for the iconic Liquid V brand - launching Bryan Gee's vision to the world. Now, with four volumes to date, 2013 sees the release of the fifth highly anticipated edition of one of DnB's liquid institutions.
* Always known for its deep, forward thinking sounds, 2013 has seen Liquid V go from strength to strength. Always regarded as a purveyor of the smoothest, most atmospheric beats, Liquid V is now riding higher than ever on a wave of renewed interest for one of DnB's more subtle styles. * Seamlessly blending 28 classics tracks is a flowing live mix from Bryan Gee, blessed with the vocal talents of none other than Stamina MC. A formidable force on the crowded MC circuit Stamina's original style has thrust him head and shoulders above the rest, earning him releases on BBK, Liquid V and V Recordings where he helped make the huge LK. * Combining established V producers such as Peshay, Need For Mirrors, Eveson, Random Movement and Mr Joseph as well as new talent such as Pennygiles, Duoscience, Atlantic Connection and Flaco, Liquid V Club Sessions Volume 5 recreates the magic once again.

27. Flaco - Rollin Dice
28. Roy Green & Protone & Pennygiles - Selfish Arms

limited clear vinyl pressing! PRPLX's entitled Fabric Of Space explores the deeper side of the Breakbeat spectre. Clever drum programming as well as going in a bass shakin' direction, it reminds us of early Bluenote & Speed days but definitely with a modern touch. These tracks are another testament to PRPLX's love for the Breakbeat. Also included here is the roadtested Taiga track which starts of deep and hypnotic but surprises you with the harsh amen drop, raw synth and dark male reggae vocal, do we hear a R.E.W.I.N.D. The album will be released in two parts, the first one is a 250 handnumbered edition on 180 gram crystal clear vinyl (with special 75mm labelcopies and 75mm innersleeveholes) including free mp3 download codes and wrapped in a sealbag. All tracks have been mastered by Stuart Hawkes from Metropolis London. Support comes from all the usual suspects. On a first come, first served basis only!
