The First in the Limited Edition Hand-Stamped Vinyl Only White Label Series from Lion Charge features the rootical sounds of
Killawatt & Ipman.
'Warehouse Dub' is crowd favourite that has been tearing up Sound Systems worldwide. A track recognisable for its reggae samples
leading up to the drop. A Heavy 4x4 dubwise Stepper akin to the sounds of the Iration Steppers.
On the flip 'Single Entity' brings some halftime pressure. Skanking riffs and dubbed out organs provide the back drop for a serious
bassline that would put any system to test.
With support from J:Kenzo, Vivek, Amit.

Synkro and Bering Strait return to Samurai Horo as Kiyoko to follow up on their sold out EP from the label's first incarnation. Their elegant flow has developed organically into an entirely singular voice squeezing beauty out of every note of their unique version of ambient electronica.

Limited edition marbled vinyl 12" only

* DJ response has also been solid with notable feedback from the likes of Pinch, Youngsta, Mumdance, Parris, Dusk & Blackdown + many more!
PR Update:
First play lined up with Boiler Room, awaiting press feedback but initial interest very positive
* Finesse': 'Impressive delicacy and skill.'

* Wen drops his first release with Tectonic in fine style. Deep, dark, meticulously placed sounds are moved and positioned with deadly purpose. Morphing moods of early dubstep and grime with techno - Wen achieves this effect without effort, pushing the familiar into unfamiliar territory.

* Opening the EP is 'Backdraft' - a moody roller full of poise and control, expertly crafted at the hands of an increasingly relevant producer. The bass line sounds like it came from a sci-fi movie - in slow motion - tech-y in its sonic, organic in its movement. Oozing over rolling 128bpm beats, 'Backdraft' is littered with short bursts of grime vocals and snatches of rave rewind echoes.

* Flip for the first of 2 tracks on the AA and title track 'Finesse' moves things into a more tribal context - filling the air with a charged tension, before releasing a beastly sub to hammer home the point. Again, at 128bpm, Wen showcases the increasingly blurred lines between original dubstep vibes and techno tempos.

* Lastly, a switch in tempo for 'Ghost', clocking in at 160bpm. Sounding somewhere between classic Photek and early dubstep circa 2005, licked with cutting edge production - not a hair nor hi-hat is out of place here. A genuine 'proto' tune that will likely be retrospectively referenced in time to come.

After a lengthy break from the electronic music world, Genotype is back with an LP for Exit Records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. Having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias Just Jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as Trouble On Vinyl, Renegade Hardware and Reinforced Records, its no surprise that he's managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of Jungle. Many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but Genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. The dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for West Indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. Genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.

Joe Seven returns for another single on dBridge's excellent Exit Records. This one arriving as if from nowhere, whoever clicks the soundclip link first is likely one of the first outside the secretive Exit camp to hear the audio....

Next in line on a very busy Autonomic schedule is a single from one of the hottest vocal talents around, Riya. Lacing the Autonomic sound with her voice was an obvious choice for the Autonomic camp and the results are two timeless tracks that have been picked up on by a huge cross section of DJs such as Skream, Youngsta,dBridge, Instra:mental and many more. A) Riya - Seems Like - Having become popular after featuring on the Fabric/dBridge and Instra:mental Autonomic CD, this track has rightly been given a home on the Autonomic imprint and has been eagerly awaited by many. Riya proves her songwriting talents once again and complemented with the backing track by a certain other Autonomic
artist, this one was never going to fail. AA) Riya - The Cycle - The AA side offers us a different angle from Riya, with a steadily building backing track her vocals loop in a hypnotic and enchanting cycle around Rhodes chords and a pumping heartbeatlike 4×4 bassline. Pure simplicity and an uncluttered soundscape gives this track the listen again qualities expected from Autonomic.

The first release for Consequence and Joe Sevens new alias They Live is on dBridge & Instra:mentals Autonomic label. Creeping in with a slightly haunting melody and sparse drums, Pure Palms starts off with little indication of where the track might lead; it feels as though it could go in any direction. As it slowly builds, the warmth and weight and deep-set rhythms that Consequence is known for begin settling, and open up to an evocative, widescreen track of immense beauty. They Lives musicality comes through strong throughout the detailed turnings of the downtempo masterpiece, with immersive low-end fills and intricate percussion that take all headphones hostage. Dont Know What To Say brings a darker edge, with crackling sound effects and an ominous, spine-chilling bassline that creates intense and intriguing dynamics. As a solemn melody builds, once again They Live bring a cinematic feel to the dense, ever-growing atmosphere. Brooding with textured sounds, skyscraping synths and head-nodding beats, the mesmerizing track shows huge promise of whats to come from the powerful duo.

Street lamps glimmering to a flicker of static. Brass and woodwind bursting through the interstices of dank and smoky bars. A thousand shades of grey, interminably looping. Bring me a half-gramme, a flight far north! Vinyl tastes better...

Berlin based producer INFRA's Cold Mountain EP is the culmination of seven years of relentless musical exploration and refinement. Known for his leading role in the German Dubstep scene and his deep, powerful music, INFRA delivers today yet another quality release on F4TMusic. INFRA combines artifacts from long lost technologies with hidden knowledge on sonic mastery to produce amazing pieces of electronic music. Prepare for
earth shattering bass drops and synth stabs from the unknown; these tunes are to split mountains in half if not to simply obliterate them. The title track "Inside the Cold Mountain" is sure to bring mayhem on the dancefloor with its incredible pressure and sense of space. Next, "Propulsion" shows INFRA's exceptional skills with both intricate drum programming and sound design. Finally, there is "Rogue", a stomper which closes the EP with a powerful and stylish blow. Already garnering support from the likes of Von D, Phaeleh, DFRNT, Crises, and Bunzer0, as well as plays on Rinse FM, it's clear that with this EP, INFRA is confidently moving forward and gaining even more recognition. This is surely not one to be missed.

Following the critically acclaimed debut-release of BOB BHAMRAs WEST NORWOOD CASSETTE LIBRARY alias TEAL Recordings presents BLONDE ON BLONDE as its seminal release. This one is surely ment for the dancefloor: an addictive bassline, and a stomping house beat executed as were it a hidden gem dug out in a New York pawnshop. The ubiquitous RAMADANMAN hits the flipside under his PEARSON SOUND monkier, with a rehash of BLONDE ON BLONDE; with subtle references to the original version DAVID KENNEDY takes the remix to quite different, but equally interesting, places. Lush early morning vibes! - A must have! Support from, UNTOLD, 2562, BEN UFO, SHORTSTUFF, MOSCA, PARIAH.

Moresounds has left the training camp and is now at the controls of his own craft. A dub fanatic, he stays true to the techniques of King Tubby, and from behind his desk sends dancefloors crazy with pinches of hip-hop and jungle in his authentic and energetic live show. This approach caught the attention of Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge label in 2012 before his debut EP on Astrophonica in 2013. Since then his music has appeared on Doc Scott's 31 Recordings and has added trademark cosmic dub seasoning to Machinedrum's Vapor City project. An impressive start to his career, echoed in Fact Magazine's inclusion of the producer as one to watch in 2015.

Moresounds' second release on Astrophonica, Pure Niceness, builds on these foundations and launches us into orbit with the opening track Reality Tune, a mix of anthemic vocals and drawn out subs, creating that elusive, edgy vibe that sits somewhere between uplifting and terrifying. Altercations goes head first into manic overdrive with heated footwork rhythms set against roots elements. The title track Pure Niceness takes a restrained and more thoughtful approach, using key ingredients to cook up a minimal codeine fuelled soundclash with SEG bleeps and sirens firing off over a simple bass groove. Rounding up the EP is Dead & Bury, a simple but effective collaboration with label boss Fracture which rolls out the breaks and will definitely leave soundboys both dead and buried.

Om Unit returns with his third EP for Civil Music, 'Aeolian' and its perhaps his finest statement to date. Following on from EPs 'Transport' and 'The Timps' and his collaborations with Machinedrum as 'Dream Continuum', Om Unit continues to forge his own path at the nexus of instrumental beats and electronic music and further confirm his incredible versatility as a producer. Aeolian showcases five exceptional and emotive tracks that rouse the senses and together form a cinematic and journeying soundtrack. Focused predominantly, but not exclusively, around the 85/170BPM the unique qualities of 'Aeolian' are echoed with the choice of remixers; revered producers Reso and Sweatson Klank both contribute revisions to the package.Aeolian is not named after the Aeolian musical mode but after the Aeolian processes, referring to the wind's ability to shape the Earth and other planets. Om Unit says 'in making this record, a lot of ideas flowed through these tracks that cumulatively have carved and sculpted the EP'.The EP opens with 'Ulysses'. Deep and melodic it combines elements of liquid, footwork and trap. Set against ultra sharp percussion and heavy rhythmic calculations the uplifting melody contrasts the melancholic atmosphere and epic synthscape. Reso's remix strips down the original and focuses on jungle leaning and constantly evolving drum programming, whilst Sweatson Klank adds some soft sampling, creating a laidback swagger in the padded ambience and molding the melodic core with warm downtempo soul.'Dark Sunrise' feature the elegant voice of Tamara Blessa, the sweetness and fragility of her vocals span the spacious filtering layers of bass and the reverberating drums. Delicate rhythms and a clean and effective structure maximise the emotive nature of this track as it broadcasts a message for change. 'Fumes', serves almost as a midway point in the EP, it's slow half time bump, warm bass and head-nodding throbs lend reflective feel to the minimal stepping beat. 'Lightworker's Call' features Cosmic Bridge collaborator Kromestar and is heavily hip-hop influenced, its drums and siren-like synths have a 90s west coast feel and roll through futuristic landscapes before hitting a wall of square wave bass. Driven by the snapping snare and low end bass weight, the Kromestar input is clear to see. Similar to 'Ulysses,' 'Slowfast Matrix' balances stormy synths and layered rhythms over skittering percussion, with the final product being somewhere between juke, jungle and liquid. The second drop, however, deletes the sped-up drums and favours a half-time alternative providing an epic closing outro to the EP.Om Unit is one of the most exciting artists to emerge in recent times, and packed with unique combinations of style, and diverse demonstrations of its makers adaptability, Aeolian shows us why. Just as the 'Aeolian processes' shape the surface of the Earth, Om Unit is helping to shape music's electronic landscape.

The eighth chapter of the Subaltern Records saga comes from Italian collective D-Operation Drop, celebrating their return to the label with a dark menacing EP that has shaken dancefloors all over the world.
Don't Breathe:
The title track opens the EP with an apocalyptic vocal which is quickly complemented by roaring synth-monsters and a stone-cold sub bass. This is the obscure side of D-Operation Drop manifesting, taking you to the edge of the dance with relentless fury.
Flumen:
This unreal collaboration with Subaltern's very own Piezo is a continuously evolving journey. Starting off with gentle harmonies, it quickly erupts into a carefully curated symphony of driving bass and cutting edge mids. Carried by truly haunting atmospheres, Flumen builds up and falls down over and over, until finishing in a mad broken-beat turmoil.

*Don't Breathe (Wayfarer Remix):
British young talent Wayfarer shows his takes on the title track adding his trademark melodies and devastating growls. With his razor-sharp sound design and production the man delivers a tight dancefloor stomper which will pose a challenge for most sound systems, driving them to full power.

Both are known well for their impressive solo work with various labels including Med School Music, Symmetry and Blu Mar Ten. But when Detail & Tiiu come together they produce a truly epic sound. If you heard their haunting 'Days Go By' release back in 2013, you'll be pleased to hear of their return with the mesmerising 'Delusion' track. And to put the icing on the musical cake, Detail tops it off with a slice of his darkly tainted tech funk that we know and love.

* DELUSION - DETAIL & TIIU
Detail employs the vocals of the beautiful and talented Tiiu for 'Delusion'. A track of contrasting elements blending the serene tranquility of the glistening pad sweeps and chords before the dark low sinking bassline and steppy beats slide in. The brooding, emotive, almost melancholic vocal has that hypnotic lost in the music quality that gives the track an understated intensity that'll have you listening to it over and over again.
* BREAKOUT - DETAIL
The opening to 'Breakout' is simply stunning. Lofty, buzzing, arcing inter-stellar sounding sweeps, evanescent hats narrowing in with a seductive female vocal hit that faints as the punchy bass kicks in. Sparse minimalistic beats with teases of old skool breaks accompanied by that swelling granular mid bass drapes the track in a cloak of darkness. Deep, dark and edgy.

CD & 32-page Comic
A lot of musicians fall in love with their effect pedals,
but Ulrich Troyer is probably the first one to
describe the interior world of his stompboxes &
delay pedals with a project that combines music, a
graphic novel and hand drawn visuals for the live
performance. SONGS FOR WILLIAM 2 is the
second part of an experimental dub trilogy that
started in 2011 on Mala's DEEP MEDI Label &
continues 2013 on Ulrich Troyer's own 4Bit
Productions label. The project is the perfect
intersection of the talents and interests of Ulrich
Troyer: illustration, architecture, acoustic research,
old school dub reggae and afrobeat.
Troyer - a trained architect - creates a distinctive
and overall impressive soundarchitecture
throughout the whole album full of dub references
and abstract electronics that refer to Troyer's past
as a MEGO artist. Comic novel and music are
connected to each other and form a fascinating
gesamtkunstwerk. Classic dub effects act as lead
characters not only in the graphic novel but also in
the music. They have names such as Muff, Herb,
Memory Man and of course William the stompbox,
the central character of the whole trilogy....

Ever wondered what Untold jamming with Gang of Four after a night at Rage might sound like Of course you haven't. Neither have we. But it'll give you some clue to the sound-clash he's cooked up for the final part of his Change in a Dynamic Environment trilogy.Kane picks up a nagging post-punk baseline and drives it like Marty McFly through three decades of club music. While Overdrive
simmers with punk attitude before spitting right in the face of melody and exploding into a raucous, drums & bass jam.

A fairly new artist on the juke/bass music scene SKUBI, a 23 year old producer from Dayton in Ohio is looking to make a name for himself. Taking some heavy influences from juke, southern hip hop, UK bass music and the sound of the Midwest, Brain music has all the delayed hand claps and hip hop vocals that any hip hop or trap fap could wish for, but Skubi still manages to keep a future bass sound while running at 160bpm and creates a truly unique and original style that will attract a wide spectrum of musical tastes. Both tracks, brain music and wet are extremely original and well rounded productions and are already receiving acclaim from some big names including OM Unit, Moresounds & Sarah Farina.
One thing is for sure Skubi's tracks are guaranteed to have heads nodding, hips gyrating and feet shuffling from here to Mars and back again. For the first remix we have selected Norway's finest SLICK SHOOTA. With tracks signed to Mad decent & loose squares and his first vinyl EP out earlier last year, slick has proven time a and time again that he can consistently deliver to the people what they want to hear, and this time is no different. With what seems to be inspired by the resent dub war being waged by various artists and producers all over the net, Slick Shoota's remix of Brain music kicks off to an all out Jungle stomper! With its rolling drums and classic jungle dub samples Slick gives the track a brilliant 90's warehouse rave feel while still sounding completely new and fresh. For the second remix we have chosen the very talented HOUSE OF BLACK LANTERNS. Dylan Richards, AKA Zilla, AKA King Cannibal, AKA House of Black lanterns has got a resume that would send most producers weak at the knees. He has both digital and vinyl releases from some of the best labels in the business including Ninja Tunes, Warp and Houndstooth. Not to mention being hand picked by Bjork and Liam Hewlett to work on their musical projects. The House Of Black Lanterns Remix of Wet has managed to beautifully balance the sound of the vinyl, with Dylan offering up a pulsating chugger of a juke track. With a beat like a hypnotically thumping heart this melodic slow-fast rendition of Wet perfectly rounds off the musical journey.

Matt Tolfrey's musical roots lie in Nottingham where he regularly attended DIY events as well as the infamous The Bomb nightclub, the latter being a home to authentic British deep house via the likes of Kelvin Andrews and Dave Congreve. Soon after these formative years, just after the turn of the century Tolfrey found himself behind the decks at The Bomb - and later, Stealth - where he began to carve out a reputation for himself as a varied and adept house selector. Craig Richards, also a Bomb regular, spotted Tolfrey's skills and invited him to play at fabric in 2004 which marked the beginning of a long relationship with the club and its auspicious resident.

After a move to London around this time, Tolfrey kicked off Leftroom and signed his debut EP to the burgeoning Crosstown Rebels, two moves which fully drew him into the music industry. Since then, Tolfrey's productions have cropped up on the likes of Cocoon, Culprit, Phonica, Rekids and, most recently, Skream's Of Unsound Mind while stewarding Leftroom to drop releases from the likes of DJ Bone, Laura Jones, Huxley and Kate Simko.

The result of eleven years of playing and attending fabric (Tolfrey can be seen regularly at the club when not he's travelling himself), fabric 81 is a distillation of his experiences and musical memories rather than a straight up trip through the latest promos and hot cuts.

Across Tolfrey's mix we're treated to a broad selection of styles and compositions old and new, all tied together in the DJ's bumping, energetic and sometimes idiosyncratic dancefloor style, with tracks frequently weaving in and out of the mix or laid over others throughout their full duration. Nods to the past come from Nail ('I Think It's Love') on Tolfrey's beloved DiY Discs and Soichi Terada's 'Tokyo XXX' while contemporary offerings come in the shape of cuts from Genius Of Time, Jon Convex and a number of Leftroom exclusives. Tolfrey, ever the slave to his record collection, also drops in bonafide classics such as Doc Martin & Eddie Amador's take on Aaron Carl's 'My House' and a Derrick Carter re-rub of 2nd Shift's 'Somethin' Else'.

fabric 81 stands as a radiant presentation of Matt Tolfrey's knowledge and background as one of the UK's finest purveyors of electronic music.

Dub Police are proud to announce the release of their first artist album courtesy of Birmingham-based producer Emalkay, who is set to release his hotly anticipated debut LP 'Eclipse' this Spring. First making a name for himself with early releases on his own Morphic Sounds imprint, Emalkay has continued to push the boundaries of underground bass music ever since, delivering a slew of huge releases on the way. Having been an integral part of the Dub Police stable ever since his 'Explicit / Heroics' 12' for the label in 2009, Emalkay has gone from strength to strength with a series of heavyweight tracks that includes the phenomenal 'When I Look At You' and recent smash 'Crusader'.Comprised of 11 tracks, 'Eclipse' is a bold and powerful album encapsulating perfectly everything that makes Emalkay such a prodigious talent, effortlessly showcasing the depth and diversity of his sound while always remaining true to his inimitable style. As addictive as it is hard-hitting, the album doesn't just provide a collection of dancefloor tracks, but a confident and coherent artistic statement.

Following varied sessions from head honcho Caspa and Dubstep forefather D1, the third
installment of the ongoing 'My Style' series will hand over the reins to the next generation of Dub Police artists as label stalwart
Subscape takes the helm. Following two of Dubstep's earliest champions and core figureheads is certainly no easy task, but no one
is beMer equipped for the job than Subscape who rises to the challenge armed with an arsenal of fresh, upfront and exclusive
material.
Since first being introduced to Caspa by his then-.-future label mate The Others while studying music production at ACM in Guilford,
Subscape has gone on to become an integral part of the label and one of its most prolific artists. First debuting on the label back in
2008 with 'Bad Man / Transaction', he has steadily amassed a bulging catalogue of unique productions built to shake soundsystems
and evoke emotions in equal measures. His most recent 'Universal' and subsequent 'Elements' EPs have continued to push the
envelope and further cement his status as one of bass music's leading lights. About to head off on his latest US tour and with the My
Style mix about to drop, 2013 looks like it is going to be his busiest year yet.

Since debuting on Boka records back in 2007, The
Others, AKA Alex Crawford, has come a long way.
In the five years since his first release on Dub
Police - the acclaimed 'Africa' EP in the same year -
his prolific work rate and consistently high quality
output has made him the most released artist on
label and an integral part of its core, as well as a
lynchpin in an ever-evolving dubstep scene. A
series of impressive original productions, not to
mention a number of standout high­profile remixes
over the last few years are now set to culminate in
his debut artist album for the label, 'Red Planet'.
Over twelve tracks, 'Red Planet' gives The Others
the canvas to showcase the full breadth of his
talents like never before. Amalgamating the many
influences that inform his productions, the album's
dubstep backbone is bolstered by glimpses of
breakbeat, jungle, techno and progressive house,
resulting in a brilliantly crafted and coherent artistic
statement. Filled with light and shade, impact and
intricacy, 'Red Planet' is much more than a
collection of club tracks; this is an album in the
truest sense of....

Following up on the success of BGORE5 comes the sixth masterpiece from this cutting edge dubstep label. Known for their pioneering sounds and ruthless A and R policy Buygore deliver bombs every time, and this one is no different! Full of energy, complex layered synths and frequented fx this EP still maintains that raw dubstep attitude we love to love. Two big tracks, both as superb as each other, both deserve equal praise and both deserve to be played.

Brian McNasby aka Heights, and Rob Paine aka Worship, are bringing their track, Teach Dem Dub, back home to Worship Recordings. The Dub version of the track was originally released on the Portland based label ZamZam Sounds on 45 vinyl, and it immediately sold out. Teach Dem Dub will be released both digitally and on vinyl by Worship, and packaged with three new interpretations of the single. Since its release back in January 2014, the single gained a plethora of notoriety and was reviewed on mixmag in the month of March. Mixmag scored the track a 9 out of 10 and commended Heights + Worship on constructing a piece of deepness that hasn't been heard in ages.
First up on the remix package is Teach Dem (Extended Disco Mix). Heights and Worship take their dub masterpiece and formulate an extended 4/4 riddim for the club. The disco mix holds the vibe & elements of Teach Dem (Dub), but arms the original components with an unleaded, rolling groove. This groove will certainly keep any deep techno & dub enthusiasts on the dance floor well into the morning hours.
Supplying an unadulterated expertise of dub is Brooklyn based legend Liondub. On the remix Liondub teams up with Brooklyn producer, Ticklah, who over the past decade has been a crucial component to the NYC music scene. Liondub and Ticklah's peace inspiring remix brings the tempo back down to the track's original pace. The remix begins off slowly as it sways back and forth with attitude, but quickly the mood changes. As the bass collapses, a mélange of melody delicately unravels as you drift into a higher realm of the dub.

Closing out the package is the original down tempo mix, Teach Dem (Dub). Teach Dem (Dub) begins with a tribal flute that soars across the motherland, awakening the children of the sun to begin their education in Dub. This awakening is sparked by a cyclone of spinning symbols and high hats that introduce a thunder heavy kick drum. The bass line in the track dances poetically as a reverbed vocal sample kicks knowledge for the youth. The knowledge spoken in the track is complemented appropriately with a cool melodica in a Augustus Pablo style performed by Paine, that creates a sweaty condensation as the track slowly burns.
Heights + Worship consist of Ras Heights of Ital Sound System, and Rob Paine of Worship Recordings and Solomonic Sound System fame. Both have deep roots in reggae and electronic music, with decades of combined prowess in production, selecting, engineering & event production. Rob Paine came to worldwide prominence after founding Worship Recordings, quickly becoming one of the leading lights of dub house and dub techno, both as a producer and label boss. Deep Space, Fabric, and key events from Mexico to London to Jamaica and long-running residencies in Philly and DC have cemented his rep as a true visionary and innovator, pushing the sounds of reggae, house, and techno together from day one.

internationally with artists such as Flume, Ganz and Djemba Djemba all drawing inspiration from productions of the 26
year old Producer / DJ .
* The Mainframe is a listening album as much as a dancefloor album it and hints at what a Joker produced mainstream
artist album would sound like with moments like 'Wise Enough' feat Zak Abel, 'Lucy' feat Sam Frank and 'Love' which
features, winner of Dutch X Factor, Rochelle.
* Since releasing his last LP The Vision, Joker real name Liam Mclean has released a slew of productions to set the
scene for this release including the Masato Nakamura inspired 'Joker Drive', Swindle collaboration 'Let It Be Known' and
perhaps the biggest insight as to what to expect from this album, 'Digital Mainframe'
The Mainframe is designed to play like a digital dream with each track bleeding into the next pulling the listener deeper
into the imagination of the Bristolian futurist in similar fashion that Robin Wright is pulled into an acid trip world in the Ari
Folman flick, The Congress.
* 'I want everybody to listen to it once from start to finish, in their whip, in their yard, in their studio, going for a run
whatever... cos that's how I intended to bring people into my world. After that pull it apart however you want, put specific
tracks in your playlist that suit your mood, your lifestyle cool but this is my A/W 15 collection, take it in as a whole and
you'll be able to get more from the individual pieces' - Joker

* In a world of increased immediacy the legitimacy of the album is being questioned in any domain that dinosaurs would
consider mainstream or popular culture. Inversely, the internet and cheap travel is allowing underground communities
and their ethics to penetrate and shape the mainstream more rapidly than ever before. Whilst the LP is still a valid format
in the underground, The Mainframe provides a multicolour glimpse into the mind of Joker and future of modern pop
music.

LIMITED REPRESS WITH NEW ARTWORK. First brought to light by the SB.TV F64 freestyles the ubiquitous 'Wooo Riddim' was arguably one of the most exposed grime tracks of the past year and now see its vinyl release as the second release on the Butterz white label series. The track has already been vocalled by D Double E, Footsie, P. Money, Chipmunk, JME and Jammer and has continued to stir up debate as to who has the best version. The tracks popularity has exceeded the 18-year old producer, S-X's, expectations by a long mile. Taking its influence from dirty-south hip-hop, 'Wooo Riddim' leans on on a stern 808 drum-roll and is accompanied by somewhat hypnotic synth-lines that compliment the laid back feeling of the track. Local Actions DJ Q is on remix duty on the B-side and delivers a somewhat dramatic interpretation with some woozy synths and manages to maintain the energy of the original and adding a bit of extra sub-bass to finish it off. Mainly known for his exploits in the UK Bassline scene DJ Q shows his versatility here by working with a grime track so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more of his productions on the weekly Rinse FM Butterz radio show.

Innamind Recordings are about launch themselves to stratospheric levels with their next release, as they feature the devastating production skills of Thelem and the blistering flows of Mancunian mic specialist T Man on IMRV007. Thelem has been
busy setting the scene alight for a while now, building beats across a range of tempos and styles, releasing on Kryptic Minds' Osiris Music UK and tearing up gigs from Los Angeles to Croatia. He has reserved something a bit different for his Innamind debut by working with one of the Manchester scene's most notorious MCs in T Man and the results are enough to twist up your dance floor beyond recognition. On 'Bring Me Down' Thelemlays down the toughest of beats, tempered with steely bassline pressure and neck-break percussion, before T Man jumps on with the fiercest of double-time rhyming, weaving through the rhythm ith agility and ruffneck lyrics. The track has generated substantial hype already, and Innamind pairs it up with an equally serious B side in 'False
Imprint', a beat on an otherworldly, deep space futurism tip. Vangelis-esque horns ring out over chugging crosshatch of rumbling....
