A two tracker of freshness from Boxcutter, aka Barry Lynn, a questing producer who was taking stylistic chances and constantly mutating his dubstep-based music, long before anyone thought it was time to start discussing 'post-dubstep'. This single precedes his new album 'The Dissolve', due out in April. 'Allele' builds from echoey drums into a tight juke-influenced drum pattern with lots of tight edits, before adding a vocal that hints at old school hardcore, wavering chords and drops, before the whole thing finally resolves into a restrained but ravey breakbeat. 'Other People' simply but effectively mixes hazy, live sounding 2-step drums with a lush bitter-sweet melody reminicent of the Drexciya offshoot TheOtherPeoplePlace, which glides subtly through a background of shimmering effects and delays.

RATVILLE is a new school dub band releasing their 1st album Dubs on the Corner in 2009, leaving serious after effects throughout the country. This time, GOTH-TRAD and DJ TUTTLE, east - west dubstep masters remixed the tracks to create a challenging piece of vinyl cut!! Remix was done by two artists, contributing to the spread of dubstep in Japan. As a host of Back To Chill releasing from UK's one and only DEEP MEDI MUSIK, GOTH-TRAD is now achieving worldwide prominence. On the other hand, leader of DUBSTEP RUDE, DJ TUTTLE is out to shake things up establishing a new label NODE with Akira Ohashi from Psycheouts G.
GOTH-TRAD's side modestly builds up till it finally rocks the floor in the latter half. May suit for outdoor performances. Heavy duty 808 type kick supporting bottom end with metal-like percussion and SEs floating in the air, DJ TUTTLE side is made for the darkest closed chambers to inhale the low frequency. This is the spearhead of dubstep made in Japan. Hands-on approach of the two made a sensational reaction with Ratvilleafs sound, pushing it to the next dimension. PUBLICRIDDIM is the Japannese independent label estalished in 2009 to hand down the forefront of the underground music scene to posterity.

Kapsize kick starts 2011 with 2 fresh cuts from a new label artist: L-Wiz. While L-Wiz is new to Kapsize, the Swedish duo are in no way new to the dubstep scene - drawing attention with killer tracks like Girl From Codeine City and the classic Girlfriend, the production pair have been making high quality dubstep tracks since the early 2004-5 days, even launching the first ever release on Dub Police! It is with pleasure that we announce Straitjacket and 4.42 Oz find a home on Kapsize! Keeping in the spirit of Jokers own melodic productions, L-Wiz take a different angle from their previous output - pushing layer after layer of perfectly produced synth lines in harmonic syncracy. Straitjacket is the more dancefloor focussed of the two cuts, with a sleazy, low-slung take on the purple sound we all know and love at Kapsize - while keeping it heavily weighted to provide bass fans with plenty of satisfactory rumble! Flip for the equally melodic 4.42 Oz which takes a more relaxed approach in vibe, taking things in a futuristic direction while simultaneously referencing the past. Beautifully produced elegant music that you will keep coming back to. DJ support from everyone from Plastician to 2562 as well as of course being a main staple in Jokers own sets last year.

Two lost classic dubs from Skream. Sweetz (2005 Flex), dating back to 2005, is really melodic and shows a significant Detroit influence, and Angry World, a cinematic and swung track in a manner most reminiscent of foundation dubstep pioneers Horsepower Productions. Both tunes hark back to the sounds formative early era, pre-Dubstep Warz. This is some real prototype riddim business, made without the need to pump-up big rooms full of upferrit ravers, yet still deadly as hell. Killer. The artwork features, at Skream's own request, a capture of the renowned Big Apple store, epicenter of the dubstep scene.

Following releases on some of the biggest labels in the game, including Liondub, XS Dubz and Digital Soundboy, we are very proud to present the Dub Police debut from Zero G. A no holds barred dancefloor bomb, Bring It will hit you right where it counts. Using the pared down elements with maximum efficacy, the growling bassline riff rips right through the core of the track like a knife. The thumping kicks and the snap of the cavernous snares heightens the impact, while the tight percussive shuffle maintains the momentum, wrapping itself around the bassline. On the flip, Bring It gets the remix treatment from long time Dub Police affiliate Subscape. Taking the originals infectious bassline and ramping up the energy levels on it even further, he delivers a hard-hitting sonic onslaught. Having risen to the top in the drum and bass world with his uncompromising production style, Zero G has proven his versatility with a series of impressive dubstep releases in recent years, taking down the tempo while retaining all the energy. Maintaining the same impactful approach that garnered him so much attention with his drum and bass productions, he has quickly become one of the biggest dubstep producers in the scene today. Collaborations with the likes of Benny Page and Marcus Visionary, as well as an array of solo releases, have come thick and fast, showcasing his singular skills on the buttons, and judging by this release there is plenty more to come from him!

Following the phenomenal "Separat/Izolat" single by Cosmin TRG, 50 Weapons proudly presents rising new UK talents Benjamin Damage and Doc Daneeka with 2 stunning collaboration works, merging classic Techno and House influences with UK Bass elements.

D1 has once again come up with the goods, and delivered two brilliant old skool-influenced dancefloor tracks. 'Flood Of Emotions' featuring renowned vocalist Jenna G, showcases D1's trademark melodic sensibility, while maintaining the tough drums and pure bass pressure that makes UK bass music so exciting and impactful. Driven by a classic hardcore break, the track penetrates right through you while the uplifting melody, complimented by Jenna's vocals, washes over you beautifully. 'Bleeps To Broadway' takes similar rave influences, this time moulding them around tough, stripped down drums and futuristic bleeps. 'Bleeps To Broadway' is also accompanied by the 130 mix, which opens up the track, slowing the groove down and giving it some extra room to breathe.D1 was one of the earliest proponents of the emerging dubstep sound, and has remained one of the scene's most creative and exciting producers ever since. Responsible for a number of seminal dubstep tracks, he has been a long-time Dub Police affiliate and has had support from all of the biggest players in the scene, also releasing tracks on esteemed labels like Tempa, Soulja and Dub Files. He continues to push his sound forward and evolve with each and every release, and never fails to surprise! Judging on the pure quality of these tracks, 2011 is set to be a big year for D1...

We here feel this release encapsulates his own sound fully!A. SHIKRA A tight 4/4 kick starts things off with little subtle fills in the drums keep the momentum of the tune before a huge, punishing sub takes this tune to another level.
A tune that has been in very high demand within the scene this past year.. if you've been out, you've more than likely heard it! Proper dancefloor punisher!AA. BLESSINGS (ft. J. SPARROW) A tune that has also been in high demand with additional production from another wizard 'J. Sparrow'. You can definitely hear Sparrow's influence on this one with it's heavy dub vibes. Intricate percussion, heavy sub bass and vibes thick as molasses!

BIG BIG BIG BIG ! ! ! ! Earwax is very proud to present this huge 12' from 'Purple Trinity' producer Gemmy, guaranteed to cause serious sonic pressure on a dancefloor near you! 'Maroon Chant' is possibly one of Gemmy's biggest tunes yet, a carefully crafted dancefloor monster brim with catchy purple melodic synths and heavy weight bass. The intro leads in with a looped tribal chant as the pattern is sucked into rolling snapping percussion before the squelching, ever-evolving bassline drops. The track build and flows effortlessly maintaining high energy levels throughout. Big tune. Flip then for 'Last 3 Digits' - the title being a reference to pirate radio shows where the host refers to callers by the last 3 digits of their phone number. 'Let me have 1 caller for the rewind'.
Heavy hitting rave stabs punch out the catchy melody here before the track switches up into a grimey beat and even grimier bassline. Quality rave music.
