magic balearic house / summer tune with a giant buzz! Incl Tocadisco & deekline & ed solo remix !!!!

The original track is already a club anthem but that didn't stop Emalkay from stamping his hallmark, head-smashing bass-lines all over the place. Whilst Roska; on the other hand, does what he does best flipping Caspa's infectious synth horns into a lustrous funky affair with a lethal combination of dancefloor drum-lines and his incredible sub-driven synth jabs. Proper party music!

Montreal imprint Swing And Skip drops its second 12', featuring tracks from hotly tipped Manchester producer Damu, label head HGLDT, and producer Resketch on the remix duties. Riding high from much media attention, serious DJ support, and killer releases on Local Action and Keysound approaching boiling point about now, Damu grabs the headlines with '2010', a deep funky roller combining the producer's trademark mix of house, garage and eski influences. S&S captain HGLDT delivers 'Knowing You' on the flip, a smooth and melodic house-x-garage jam supported by many, first on the list since months back being Dusk & Blackdown. Finally, Resketch follows up from his recent Well Rounded 12' with a remix of 'Knowing You', going in for a deep and heavy garage-meets-dub techno hybrid.

Dreadnought is the collaborative project between Untold (Hemlock / Hessle Audio) and Samuel Chase (Samuel and the Dragon). The duo's debut release is the vinyl only 'Caroline EP', which features four tracks that mark the genesis of Dreadnought as well as a taster of how the pair's sound is developing. The individually numbered vinyl-only EP is being pressed in a limited run - there will be no repress. The track 'Meteorite' was recently named X-Posure Hot One by Xfm's John Kennedy with further support coming from Huw Stephens and Mary Anne Hobbs.

Berkane Sol present the vinyl debut of Erra. Erra comes bursting through your speakers with a riot of tuff drums and sweet melody - its like the sound of someone who's rinsed their console so much that its gone way beyond high scores and into a full on system meltdown. 'Stax' starts out with a dreamy intro which leads into the rudest of wake up calls - a proper peak-time jackin' synth stab married to a smartly evolved bassline, all driven by concussive garage flavoured rhythms. 'Jookup' on the flip again demonstrates Erra's irresistible talent for blending blissful keys with hectic dancefloor moments, this time really bringing the sickly grime synths to the front, with some cute but disembodied vocals punctuating the action. The 12' follows up Erra's popular L2S digital release 'Cake Music', and neatly shows off this young producers rapid development. These tracks have been getting love from people such as: Al Tourettes (Applepips), Mary Anne Hobbs, Brackles (Rinse FM), N Type (Wheel and Deal), DJ Flight (1 Xtra), Spamchop (Wigflex), 2562 (Tectonic), Shortstuff (Ramp), Cardopusher (Hyperdub), Martyn (3024), Martin Kemp (Blunted Robots), Elgato (Hessle Audio), Selector dub U (Hotflush), Skipple (Sub FM), West Norwood Cassette Library (Teal), King Thing (Fortified)

James Blake returns to the label that gave him his debut release with two brand new sub heavy club tracks. Hemlock were responsible for his Air And The Lack Thereof single back in 2009. Neither 'Order' or 'Pan' have appeared on Blake's soulful, electronic self-titled album from this year; the new material sees the return of Blake into the more sparse, experimental and wobbling bass heavy sound of his earlier work.

Terror Danjah finally returns to the airwaves with his first new material since 2010's 'Undeniable' album on Hyperdub. The masssively-anticipated 'Full Attention' is the first step in the resurrection of his patented 'Rhythm & Grime' sound, the style he made his name with in the early noughties with vocalists like Shola and Sade Ama. This time out, Ruby Lee Ryder is his voice of choice, and her distinctive vocal has already landed the track on the BBC 1xtra playlist, with further spins on Radio 1 and Rinse FM, and it's a fixture in the boxes of DJs like Skream, Mistajam and Target. Advance club promo has generated a ridiculously positive response right across the board, with hard support from Brackles, Swindle, Alex Nut, Blackdown, Wylie, and many many more, setting the scene for 'Full Attention' to become an anthemic club and commercial hit as soon as it reaches the shops. On the flip Mr Danjah drops his trademark Gremlinz logo for two 8 bar grime smashes that have been doing the rounds on Rinse FM for the last half year. 'East Village' is a toast to the nights Hardrive label hosted at the London club of the same name, and 'Jeckle & Hyde' (exclusive to this 12') has been battered in the raves by Logan Sama, Zomby, and Elijah & Skilliam just to name only a few. This marks the beginning of a hefty release schedule for the Grime Kingpin including more high-impact singles and remixes on the way for Greensleeves, Butterz and Hyperdub.

Limited edition 300 copies 10 inch Vinyl. For those in the know the Visionist, often known as Mr. 67 (vis-á-vis Boiler Room front and center), has been on the radar for some time receiving extensive play from Oneman, Blackdown, and Dark Sky. With a slew of material forthcoming on 502, Diskotopia, and Left_Blank the Mr. 67 release makes available arguably his best-known and well-received work to date. 92 Points the label aims to join the dots between the rapturous heights of 1992 golden-era jungle, turn of the century champagne-bubbly garage, and the modern day mongrel forms that have been shutting down dances of late proving it to be a true 'nuum imprint. Established by some of the core members of Brixton-centric collective We Are Dubist, 92 Points seeks to combine tight artwork with uncompromising electronic music talent.

Kaleidoscope is the first EP by the very talented and young producer Individualsim from Amsterdam NL. Winning the Grote prijs van Nederland in 2010 is a great start and shows something special is going on. Pure and Gentle electronic music combining styles like House, Ambient, Jazz, Dub and Pop without ever being predictable. This first vinyl release features four tracks that show a great amount of creativity and the vision it takes to transform certain feelings into music. Limited to 200 copies, pressed on crystal clear vinyl.

Iberian Records feature on their seventh release an EP from Migrant (aka 23Hz) who comes with three slabs of soundsystem funk and groovy vibes. 'Limbic Sistim' kicks off proceedings with a building arrangement into a catchy vocal lick - all underpinned with tight beats and warm subs. 'Acid Sumatra' works on a similar tip but ups the tribal and percussive pressure on a deeper insistent rub. Whilst 'Pipe Club' brings some classic two-steppy flavours into the mix but cleverly reinforced with massive sub weight. These three tunes are taken from Migrants forthcoming album, also entitled 'Exit Plan'. More Bass'n'Groove from the Lisbon and Barcelona based label that should find favour with the deeper end of both Dubstep and UK Funky scenes.' Early support by Scratcha DVA, Ghosts on Tape, Kid606, Chrissy Muderbot, Cardopusher, Slackk, Mesak, Phaeleh, DeVille, Bunzer0, Throwing Snow.

Rockwell's rise to prominence as a rare, distinctive talent has been exciting the electronica music circuit the world over. Critical, thankfully, being the trusty forefront for all things audio-aesthetically delicious, presents the 'Aria EP' - 4 tracks of sound sublime, exemplifying Rockwell's refreshing angle on energy in the club combined with the characteristic, meticulously playful technicals, precise and thrilling as ever.The charmingly rustic intro of 'Aria' unleashes striking Flinstones-esque wooden triplets, scaling the track as stirring vocals weave through; haunting and uplifting at once, the title-track exudes sheer class. Slightly more buoyant, 'Live For The Moment' infuses an energetic tempo with profusions of ear-carressing funk and those ever-characteristic percussive twists - naughty all over. Swiftly plunged into apocalyptic darkness, the Ulterior Motive boys take a sinister liking to 'Noir'. Distinctly menacing and genuinely frightening, what better to bully the atmosphere than Hell-raising bass and staccato violins. Listen out for the breakdown bass - horrific and enriching, this track is dark by Devil's definition. Icing on the cake collaboration with underground legend Untold comes in the form of 'Rehoku Sunrise', a tribal earthy worldly masterpiece of running drums and raw, wild samples, glazing the soul in bliss. Bellissimo.

Synkro swings up on the latest Pushing Red release, backed by a collaboration with Versa. Flowing solo, Synkro is in twitchy, soul-burning 2-step mode on 'Viewpoint', but 'She Said' with Versa finds finding its feet somewhere between Dubstep and lubricated R&B shuffle. Sweet.

An outstanding new collection for Yellow Machines from talented Serbian producer Boris Noiz - three fierce and very forward thinking tracks which encompass elements of sci-fi sound design, emotive strings, and drilling dark step hardcore beats with precise edits, all laced with huge gnarling bass. Keeping in line with the label's fusion of old skool hardcore and intricate electronics, Noiz adds a melodic, Detroit techno flavour to the equation. 'Rapid Transitions' opens with mournful, majestic and unresolved melodies, filling the air with a sound that is wistful, innocent yet stone cold alien at the same time. It then does pretty much what the name suggests, dropping into massive beast of a tune, with thick, rolling drum breaks and growling modulated riffs with sharp edits. Rhythmically, 'Symphony Of Collision' recalls his previous work with Excision on 'Force', loaded with whirlwind beats that smash the room but shift slyly to keep you guessing where the next hit will land, while the infusion of icy dark pads points to those subtle Detroit influences. 'Inceptive Point' fuses the Sheffield warehouse bleep mechanics of LFO with the rolling drumfunk percussion of the Rag And Bone roster, adding fills and phrases in an old skool Reinforced hardcore style. This tune will bring flashbacks for those who were there raving in the early 90s, updated with 2011 production. All told, this is a trio of incredible andriod disco pressure, reminiscent in texture to early Metalheadz but with a 21st Century twist; an EP of cinematic hard step at its best, sure to tear up any dance floor.

For Auxiliary's first release from an outsider, ASC welcomes Sam KDC to the fold. Fresh from releases on Doc Scott's 31 Records, the evergreen Nu Directions and Deep Soul Music, Sam KDC delivers the 3rd installment in the Symbol series and it's a beauty.

Eleventh and conclusive ten inch of the LA series comes from two thirds of the Sa-Ra Creative Partners Shafiq Husayn and Om'Mas Keith. Working solo on each side Shafiq is first with seven minutes of funk split into three parts. 'DNA Splice Mix' is an intense mix of hip hop and funk beats, chopped vocals, jazz and soul combining to form an infectious for-the-heads downtown LA sound. Flipping over Om'Mas goes uptown and gives us a more polished sound with a leftfield r n b - hip hop vocal track 'Girls A Player'. Instrumental plus accapella included for potential remixers.

Lost has come a long way since he took the first steps on his journey into music. As a 12-year old, Lost found 'Big Apple Records' in Croydon and embarked upon becoming a DJ. Now a fully-fledged member of H.E.N.C.H, this prodigy has been responsible for some of the most sub shaking releases to have been let forth from the Bristol label's catalogue to date.A: Snake Eyes (Ft. Beezy) - Lost teams up with Hench's new signing Beezy. For those that know, you can bet that any track with Beezy's name on is going to be sordidly sinister. And 'Snake Eyes' is no exception. The track commences with an industrial and hazardous sounding scene that's soon met with Beezy's catchy hook. Things are teed-up fittingly for a creeping baseline that weaves amongst the dripping backdrop. Before the low-end truly takes you somewhere else, Beezy rejoins with an ever-ominous lyrical gesture to seal the dread-inducing vibe that Lost has created with this charismatic production.AA: Escape from the Womb - In all of Lost's productions, he's enigmatic in creating a feeling with his tracks from the get-go. What seems like a calm and atmospheric intro quickly thrusts you toward something you'd be forgiven for not expecting. When that high-voltage bass rhythm gets your attention, sit back, you're in for the ride. Metallic overtones and pulsating groove make 'Escape from the Womb' a genuinely progressive number. This was built to tear dance floors to the ground and has already been doing some serious damage.

Absolutely classic tune from Chef's label. This featured on Dubstep All stars Vol. 7 mixed by Chef, and has become one of Dubstep's underground anthems. Features remixes from Von D & Geiom. Fan's of Tikiman, Rhythm & Sound will appreciate this 12'.
