By track two we've already blitzed Cutty Ranks samples via Dawn Of The Dead chatter through Street Fighter vamps and Pulse X resurrection subs. All you can do with Mars89's mesh of gutter sonics is pick out the landmarks you recognise: 'oh yeah that's kinda drill, mmmm gqom, oooo Night Slugs' but like the best hallucinations you just shut your eyes and ride it.End of The Deathsounds like it comes from no place in particular.

Slotting way outside of the current batch of hard-to-describe club music that we're all struggling with, End of The Deathis the Tokyo native's third release, his 2nd for Bokeh (after 2017's Lucid DreamEP) and his first official appearance on wax (after a run of 30 'Biological Tides'/'Poltergeist' dubplates). Bokeh pays full respect to Mars89's futuristic intent with a bad acid Akira sleeve airbrushed by Patrick Savile and a limited VR headset edition - accompanied by a 360° video environment by Seth de Silva.

Bokeh Edwards and Mars89 met at the Bokeh Versions x Diskotopia night in Tangram hairdressers, Tokyo (sponsored by Pioneer) in October 2016. He's a crucial member of the Tokyo's Chopstick Killahz, a self-described "Post Tribal DJ Unit" lurking on the fringes of the city's grime scene. Mars89's self released his debut EP East End Chaos in 2016 on a limited run of zines. He's also recently composed music for Amazon Fashion Week Tokyo 2017A/W and started a residency at Bristol's Noods Radio to highlight DJ and production talent elsewhere in Asia.

Infernal Sounds reaches a milestone by welcoming one of their previous family members, Sepia back onto 12'. This time though, he plates up an emotion packed four tracker which delivers all the bass-fuelled brawn you'd come to expect, with a dusting of pure bliss and musical energy. It's a journey from start to finish, and a collection of tracks which can change any dynamic within the club depending on the vibe you're looking for.

The release will be on 180g vinyl and It'll be the first in the series to feature full sleeve artwork, designed by Emily Dayson.

The first new release exclusively via TAD from Boomarm Nation, who welcomes Tunisian producer Lokal Affair to their family. His debut Seremunia EP, 3 tracks of deep percussive jams, is inspired by life in the Sahara desert, evening fire rituals, and ecstatic drumming styles from across the globe. Lush, mid-tempo spiritual sounds for your sound system. Lokal Affair AKA Malek Midouni is a Tunisian born musician currently living in Lyon, France.

As a bonus the label commissioned an incredible thundering remix of the percussion heavy tune Goumari' from good brother Alter Echo.

Albion Collective proudly presents its second record release of 2018, celebrating with a top-shelf 10" plate from Sheffield's notorious dub-slinger: Taiko. No stranger to the Albion imprint, Louis Robson returns with 2 heavyweight originals fit to knock the socks off the hardiest of dubsteppers. Chunky big-bass roller 'Old Like Dirt' dons the A side and a revamp of the long awaited, bone crunching Taiko classic 'Panchaea' pressed to the flip. No shortage of lively switch ups.

"Zed Bias is an electronic music pioneer, throughout his career he has traversed genres with ease whilst all the while retaining his signature sound.

It was in 2016 that he debuted on Exit Records with a three tracker featuring Zoe Violet, the release was a sign of things to come. Modern U.K. soul delivered in the 160bpm format, this aesthetic has now been developed with the Different Response album.

It's the sound of Zed Bias in 2017, undeniable soul with one eye on the dancefloor. He's gathered a formidable feature list to voice the album- artists from his native Manchester and beyond all lend their talents to the album.

Label owner dBridge says of the release: An LP that fits perfectly in what I believe Exit is about. Artists creating music with soul and a sound uniquely their own. Zed has shown again what's possible when you listen to your own voice'

Much like a slew of other iconic DEEP MEDi plates, this one has been dominating the dance, the airwaves and the OG forums for a long while, as dedicated fans drink in Commmodo's killer combination of brain rattling bass and delicate melodic motifs.

Argo needs zero introduction to the tuned in listener of the Dubstep Genre. This release alone has seen support and heavy rotation from Youngsta, Distance, J:Kenzo, Ntype, Bukez Finezt, Samba etc etc etc. The list is endless, over the past 12 months it would be easier to list those who have not supported this release.

Invoking imagery of condensed, interstellar warfare - Dayzero takes command of the controls for Sentry Records' eighth release. Based in Japan, the acclaimed producer follows up on his substantial outings for Wheel & Deal and Hatched Music among others - having continuously refined his highly effective compound of Dubstep with vocal support from the scene's vital tastemakers. Now joining the Sentry roster with two monumental armaments, the newest signee shows us how it's done. Enrichening the sound system music scene with a no-nonsense production style as well as his innovative, experimental approach - all killer, no filler.

Taking off to another dimension in 'Sunday on Spaceship', listeners are met with feigned lo-fi soundscapes, carved out of analogue noise and detuned echoes. A state of overt tension dissolves into Dayzero firing up the heavy weaponry with stripped down sub bass tremors and meticulously crafted off-kilter groove. Amongst granular, apocalyptic percussion reverberating voices of days past flicker. Diverse drum instrumentation and supple distortion keep it lively, a no-questions-asked onslaught and guaranteed way to light up any dance.

Flipping over to the B-Side, we're placed on the receiving end of another ton of musical napalm. Finding ourselves being churned through bare concrete, laced with psychedelics. 'Down By Law' oozes of sonic variance, as industrial plucks shine through the cracks - furthering the aberration alongside narcotic staccato arpeggios. Subtle use of eerie harmonies and surging feedback wails is firmly kept in check by brute-force kicks and snares - ceremonious pressure underneath. Venting high-pressure 808's amidst supremely crafted breaks, leaving us yearning for more. A pair of mean-spirited sound-bwoy murder tracks on a twelve-inch platter - enough said!

Dream Eater Records returns with another burning hot plate of sought-after dubs from one the true pioneers of both dubstep and the grime scene. Kromestar vs. Iron Soul battle against each other for the first time on the same record. This one is not to be

Remy Gallet aka Quasar has been making some serious movements in the dubstep scene of late, with radio support from the likes of J:Kenzo on his acclaimed Rinse show. Here he blesses Foundation Audios new 10' hand stamped series FAVX with 2 sought after riddims that have been doing damage in the dance since their creation.

A side 'It's Over VIP' is a flip of the classic Portishead tune 'Biscuit' - and boy, oh boy has he done the original justice and then some! The track is full of rolling basslines and percussion. Odd vocal snips from the original give space to an otherwise unrelenting track that has got classic written all over it.

Om Unit 'returns' with Violet (EP) a standalone double 10' pack 'VIOLET01' featuring four 160bpm excursions that recall elements of his earlier work. Equal parts headphones and sound system; slivers of late night nostalgia and dream-like ambience with 'Righteousness' doing damage in the club on dubplate.

Emerged out of the subculture melting pot of St. Louis, Missouri (US) - Dub Sector has been wreaking havoc as fierce proponents of Dubstep and sound system culture as a collective of likeminded artists, event series and record label. Following up on the imprint's debut vinyl by REZ, the subsequent release is spearheaded by UK's Chad Dubz. Besides running his own accomplished 'Foundation Audio' imprint, the capable artist has been ceaselessly showcasing his talent with prolific output on various esteemed outlets, including the likes of Boka Records.

Limited 10" Vinyl

* Pev re-masters and re-issues a lead track from his debut LP 'Jarvik Mindstate' on Punch Drunk alongside a newly unearthed and previously unreleased track from 2008.

* A leading protagonist of a nascent, more techno indebted sound in the 07/08 dubstep era, alongside peers such as Martyn, 2562 & Appleblim, Peverelist released a series of tracks that helped shape and define that scene. Alongside 'Infinity is Now' (Tectonic), Circling (w/ Appleblim - Skull Disco) and 'The Grind on Punch Drunk to name a few, Bluez was a standout track fusing melancholic Detroit style synths with the dub-wise aesthetics of the UK underground. Peverelist has since explored these themes further with his pioneering Livity Sound label. This release revisits the roots of his sound a decade on.

Run Outs created in 2018 focuses on Dubstep, 140, Trap, Grime and anything else around them styles.

The audio format will be on 10" vinyl with no digital release, strictly vinyl for the world.

Run Outs 001 which features Karnage who is from Japan, joining him Rider Shafique steps up to deliver some powerful vocals.

Infernal Sounds embraces two new artists with the 12th release to date on the label. This time, it's the combined energy and musical flow of Bukkha and Subtle Mind, featuring guest vocals from Bristol's Dutchie, alongside a sax cut of the title track. Having already branched across numerous different styles during the label's journey thus far, this EP signifies the more vibey sound, with dub-orientated elements and instrumental input. This EP may not be a dance floor destroyer, but will certainly put you in a rhythmic, feel good mind frame, through the three beautifully composed tracks.

Kowton & Parris in deep concentration...

In accordance with relativity, they are in some sense interchangeable, but we do know that they form co-equal parts of a larger 'thing' called space-time, and it is only within space-time that the most complete understanding of the motion and properties of natural objects and phenomena can be rigorously understood by physicists. Space and time are to space-time what arms and legs are to humans. In some sense they are interchangeable, but you cannot understand 10,000 years of human history without including both arms and legs as part of the basic human condition.

LIKHAN', author of three sold out twelves on 7even Recordings including the first 'Terre / Uwill' release on the label and the classics 'Qumran' and 'Redlight', is back with 'Boxin' and 'Boston'.

Pioneer of bass music in France for almost 10 years now, his productions have always ignored borders and have been recognized for their melodic quality and musicality. Notably supported by Mala Digital Mystikz on his Dubstep productions, this true underground artist is constantly innovating in the studio.

For this release, LIKHAN' offers us two of his best Dub House / Dubbage cuts. Blending House and Garage flavours to massive basslines and Dub skanks, delays and echoes, 'Boxin' and 'Boston' are unique tracks, and as usual with LIKHAN', impossible to label.

The London players have already adopted them on their turntables: T.Williams and Don Morris from Deep Teknologi, DJ IC and Slackk are rinsing 'Boxin' and 'Boston' at their shows and on Rinse FM.
