Limited White Vinyl Pressing!
Aim of this EP is to soak in sensory impressions, details of light, color, smell of air & look of the sky. Remixes by Daisuke Tanabe, Elaquent & RLP. Pressed on white vinyl.

Macabre Unit Vinyl drops it 6th release on wax in the shape of the Grandeur EP. Featuring input from members N Dread, Occult and
Chapta, alongside label boss Demon, this is a slice of low end pressure, with creative ideas and a broad pallete of sound.
Grandeur is the twisted banger that has been doing serious dancefloor damage, expertly crafted by the N Dread, who is often
affectionately referred to as the ìfrequency inspectorî. It is both dark and nasty and beautifully musical in equal measure, deep,
alluring strings warming from the start striding forward with crisp snaps of percussion. Lush sub rises in, before a brief calm
anticipates something unexpected. Sub pulses, and a wickedly twisted synth rises and falls; worming into your consciousness, before
glitching out and darting off into the distance, zipping above and beyond the marching drums. The pads, strings and vocal snippets
add further colour and dimension, before zoning out and dropping into a swinging, steppy workout still awash with synth and zap.
Epic Fate seeís Chapta pair up with Demon for what is essentially a straight up screwface maker. It has you looking over your
shoulder from the offset, captivated but on edge by itís horror movie-esque intro. Eerie noises, muted voices and filtered stabs and
snarl raises uncertainty and fear; then the onslaught begins as your hit with a chunky sub and the most vicious razor sharp growls,
winding up and down, venomously rising through unrelenting low end. Hard hitting percussion maintains forward momentum, broken
up with attentive edits adding fearful intensity into a even sinister breakdown and punishing bass workout. Real macabre sound.
Banger Occult teams up with Demon on the intricate and haunting Motive. It's ethereal pads demand attention immediately, as a
eastern sounding vocal calls out, rising and drawing you in. Its snaps into a pulsing bottom end, littered with futuristic filtered growls
and bleeps, echoing out amongst some stomping percussion. Drum edits add fluidity and variation as space age blips and effects
catch your ear and pull you in deeper. The haunting pad and vocal rise again, and the sub arrangement throws out some serious low
end movement, as meticulous attention to detail with every little noise across the spectrum adds dimension and colour throughout.

Damballah 58' is the monstrous sequel to last year's deadly 'Black Mamba' 12" (BLACKEST010). The title track's diabolically addictive vaudou rhythms insinuate deeply before uncoiling convulsively into an irrevocable reclamation of the consciousness. The B-side features 'Mamba Muntu' (sister track to the previous 'River Mumma' and 'Witness The Spread Of The Dream'), the treacherously beautiful 'Belladonna Theme', and the marauding burning rush of 'Immersion'. Written and produced by William Bennett. Original vévé artwork by Mimsy DeBlois. Cut by Noel Summerville at 3345 Mastering, London. 12" vinyl housed in reverse board picture sleeve.

The record opens on a supa efficient ragga tek tune, clear kick and load vocals... And while listening tunes you'll soon discover Raggatek is the subject here... With a first massive track from Ktodik... and EP ending on a superb other massive tune from Pitch. Best Graffiti Sonore probably !

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

Reigning in the inaugural release on Dublin based label Glacial Sound, is the Double Dragon EP by Rabit.
Fresh off his recent contribution to
Keysound Recordings' This Is How We Roll compilation, Double Dragon is Rabit's full take on the sounds of both Eski minimalism and dubstep sub pressure, crystallizing the cold, biting synths and paranoid soundscapes across a variety of tempos.


Backed with stellar remixes by Epoch and Logos, the Double Dragon EP is a bold statement, with the artist sharpening the grime aesthetic into his own bright and terrifying vision. Available in 12" and digital formats.

In the Spring of 2012 Yot teamed up with Scottish born vocalist Soom T (Renegade Masters). The product of this recording session The first track on Yot 4; the moody epic funk shuffle beat banger 'The Cure'. Rising synths, tough beats and heaps of squelch all pushed up against Soom T's unmistakable flow. A sure shot was born.

As well as vocal and instrumental versions of 'The Cure' Yot 4 features the grinding slow tempo burner 'Day Won' and hypnotic ballad 'G.I.M.P'. To record the EP the core four piece signed up a fifth member, multi-instrumentalist Markus Pyorala. It follows up last years 'Bitch Bender', which Mixmag made Album of the Month, and drops on Harmonia and Losonofono.

limited clear vinyl pressing! PRPLX's entitled Fabric Of Space explores the deeper side of the Breakbeat spectre.

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.

In a convergence of Osiris Music's heavyweights, Kryptic Minds and Sleeper have built their first full collaborative release together;
the pulsating peak-time pressure of Axis Shift backed with the heaving sub-frequency movements of Solarized Formation. Both
tracks hit brutally hard and low in the dance, featuring palettes of nightmarish industrial sounds laid over intricate techno / dubstep
fused rhythms. Axis Shift is an amalgamation of flecked reese synths, paranoid atmospheres and plunging basslines that anchor the
track deep beneath disorienting arrays of taut percussion. It's brisk, fluid flow is contrasted by the experimental rhythmic
arrangements of Solarized Formation on the flip, centred around pounding kick drum trios, toughened slabs of sub-bass and minimal
drum incisions; a unique and highly creative piece 140bpm music to bang soundsystems differently.

Volume 5 of the obscure "Delirious Grooves" compilation series. A collection of rare tracks with a wide range of styles that runs from leftfield-electric disco to afro-funky sounds from the late 70s and early 80s. If you've been listening to those "cosmic" mix-tapes you're bound to recognize some tracks on here. Titles include "Evolution", "Interfront", "Echt", "That Spleen" and more.

Dutch producer Marcellis' output has been sporadic at best since his debut on Black Label in 2004, but his masterful outing on Berlin's Workshop stable last year, seems to have marked a turning point in his output. The six-track I Am Woman EP, released on Millions of Moments represents his most extensive work to date, and it proves to be just as deep as that Workshop 12". "Wanderland" and "Dang Me" provide more of those idiosyncratic downbeat beats Marcellis is known for, while "Speakeasy" proves a sumptuous trip through classic piano-led Chicago house. Really though, this is an EP of outstanding vocal house, with Fabian and Dexter's contributions elevating this EP into another league entirely.

classic re-issue!!!

Horo' was a cloak attached to the back of armour worn by elite Samurai messengers in wartime. Capturing an elite tsukai-ban
messenger wearing a Horo was a coveted prize and in much the same way, a release on Horo is a prize, a reward for artists willing to
experiment, take risks and truly progress. This has been demonstrated by the fact we now have artists writing music specifically for
the Horo series.

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.
'I love music, I love to bathe in it. In fact I love to writhe about in it and rub it all over. So, in the 3 years since I last made a KLUTE LP
I've listened to everything and bought whatever I could get my hands on. From techno to rock n roll, soundtracks to hardcore punk,
electro house to psychedelic jazz. The lot. I go through bouts of just listening. I call them creative vacations and when you come back
you just have to write and that's exactly what I did. 27 tracks later I'd set my deadline to stop and the lengthy task of pairing things
down began. This is where we arrive at The Draft, my 7th album as Klute.
This LP is where my varied musical taste meets Drum & Bass and the bits beyond. Some might say D&B is one thing but to me it's
always meant a whole lot more. A world of possibilities set within the structure of a musical discipline. That's why I enjoy making
these albums so much because I've been given the privilege to go nuts within these walls'

A. Tunnidge - Rag & Bone: A brand new track from Chestplate OG,
Tunnidge. Rag & Bone has gained huge support already and its
undeniably ample bass weight has got dancefloors stomping all across
the globe.

AA. Tunnidge - 7 Breaths - Distance Remix: Originally released on
Chestplate back in 2010, 7 Breaths was a certified banger and
Distance's heavyweight remix of it has been a sought-after elusive
dubplate ever since. Here we finally see the official release of a
track that truly shows a meeting of two of dubstep's greatest minds!

Cloaked in black, dimly lit and sparkling with dust, Warm Communications announces UMBRA
VOLUME 1. Much in the spirit of Adam X's Traversable Wormhole series, Warm is bringing you a
collection of anonymous releases that remind to remember drum and bass at its true heart: cracking snares, kick drums hitting your
chest, subtle pads playing in an offcentered unison over 808 tones drowning distant thunder. These are the tunes you hear in a mix
and say, "Who was that" The tunes that've made you wake up the next morning and type "ID" in the comments page. The tunes
that do not even need to be named.
Warm Communications' UMBRA is truly about the art.
UMBRA VOLUME 1 is a two-track EP that evokes Omni Trio and SAW-era Aphex Twin, rumbling sineheavy bass under ringing
melody, computed chords and clean, crisp drums. This is a collectable, limitededition series labeled appropriately with secretive
sewer-grate artwork. UMBRA VOLUME 1 is lurking there, underground, looking up through the shadows. It's up to you to find out just
who's waiting there.

Newly Signed to Pressed Records, Ipman has been building a formidable reputation throughout 2013 for his eclectic and versatile
production style. Combining a lifelong education in music with well- honed technical ability and a healthy amount of irreverence
towards most aspects of music making, Ipman aka Jack Gibbons is set to release his debut EP for Pressed Records entitled Aight'.
With his music gaining full support by the likes of Kryptic Minds (Osiris), N-Type (Rinse Fm/ Wheel & Deal) and J Kenzo (Tempa/ Rinse
Fm), this October sees Pressed welcome Ipman to the ever growing imprint with a 12' that's set to punish any sound system. The flip
side features none other than Killawatt', an artist with a unique repertoire of beats that's earned him the place as one of the
underground dubstep scene's brightest talents. Killawatt's constructions often transcend genre dictated formulas and it's this
versatility that has been turning heads of late by carving out his own refreshing and original take for the release.

Steppas Records introduce the first of eight 'Trigrams', a brand new 10' release series showcasing the deeper and darker side of Steppas. Trigram01 introduces the raw talents of South Korean producer J-Path. From the school of the Self-Taught where many masters rise up from, J-Path's inception into the beat making multiverse has been a cool decade in the making. Growing up in various South & Central American cultures, speaking multiple languages and collaborating with numerous demographics, J-Path quickly developed a strong sense of adaptability allowing him to bring a very unique and personal depth to his music. Experiments in sound have been akin to personal awakenings, with expressions in each new genre developing in him new capacities and spinning off into projects involving the hip hop underground, the K Pop overground and plenty in between. Dubbed the Drum & Bass/ Dubstep Ambassador for his mother country Korea, J-Path has done his dues: DJing with and hosting international artists, creating a local fan base with events to boot, coaching up and comers in Seoul via his Beat Production Program and bringing an ear honed to obsessive perfection under the umbrella of Electronic Music. Etched into his sound is the love for deep, soulful, textured landscapes reminding us that creativity is never limited to one category and can always take us on a journey if we so choose it.

Threads is the debut album from London producer
Om Unit, to be released on Civil Music in November
2013.
While this is a debut full length for Om Unit, real
name Jim Coles, it is in fact the producer's fourth
studio album, following from work in the 2000s
under the name 2tall. Having reset the clock on his
artistic output in 2010, Coles has spent the past
three years refining a unique sound as Om Unit via
collaborations with Machinedrum on Planet Mu,
releases on Goldie's Metalheadz, dBridge's Exit
Records and Civil Music, his own Cosmic Bridge
label and the short-lived Phillip D. Kick alias that
fleshed out the links between Chicago's footwork,
jungle and slow/fast. The confluence of all this work
takes full flight on Threads.
Across its fifteen tracks Threads articulates Om
Unit's musical journey from his beginnings to the
present. It references his hip hop background, in the
swung out, hypnotic headnod of 'Wall of Light' and
the positive message of 'Just Sayin'', a collaboration
with the mysterious Gone The Hero, (who will be
stepping out of the shadows on Jneiro Jarel's Label
Who imprint....

With our 9th release, The Rasundas have graced Lonesome Hero with a double-sided EP of hypnotic, summer goodness. A proper, classic chugger, the a-side's "Feel the Music" fashions itself quite the speaker-warmer - an ideal weapon for crushing this summer's lineup of open-air festivals. On the flip, "Wake the Neighborhood" fuses timeless funk bass with mesmeric string tones and jacking percussion to create a track reminiscent of a DJ culture before the cult of personality.

Following her brief stint touring with pop legend Prince in Australia, Delilah is pleased to unveil details of her next single 'Inside My Love.' The single will release on 16 July through Atlantic Records to coincide with the release of her debut album, 'From The Roots Up', which will follow two weeks later.
'Mix Tape' will be released on July 2nd as a taster for the forthcoming single and album.
The Ltd 12' EP (500 copies only) contains the Redlight Mix of single 'Inside My Love' plus mixes of previous singles 'Love You So' and 'Breathe' and an accapella version of 'Go'.
'From the Roots Up' is an extremely personal record with every song on the 12-track album being written or co-written by Delilah. Together with her close-knit team of producers (Science, Ballistiq and LV), Delilah created the album's fundamental sound: dark, sparse, percussive, full of tiny details magnified by the acres of space surrounding them, and all framing Delilah's own signature emotive voice as she sings about "love, lust, passion, and falling in and out of them all".
Her debut single 'Go' became a surprise runaway hit scoring her a top 20 hit and a permanence on the Radio 1 & 1Xtra airwaves. Later singles such as 'Love You So' and 'Breathe' demonstrate the quality and sonic variety of her much anticipated debut LP.
Her first sold-out UK tour in Spring received amazing reviews in the broadsheets and culminated in the musical icon Prince even personally inviting Delilah to support him on tour in Australia.
Delilah will be appearing at all the big UK festivals this summer (Lovebox, Wireless, Bestival, Beachbreak Live, Parklife and BBC Radio 1's Hackney Big Weekend) and with her last London show at KOKO selling out at an impressive 110%, watch this space for details of another show coming soon.

Next up on Crazylegs, two fiendishly addictive garage cuts — and the first vocal material on our label — from a young veteran of the UK underground, Wolverhampton's TRC.
One of the key players in the late-2000s bassline scene and more recently a prolific grime producer, TRC's Crazylegs debut sees him on dazzling form: crisp 2-step drums, trademark floor-shocker basslines and melodies so catchy you won't get them out of your head for weeks.

On the remix front, a real special pairing: the legendary El-B moulds Come Bring It into a vintage garage banger, while Beneath follows up recent Tectonic & Keysound releases with a hypnotic, sub-fuelled rework of You & Me.

the A1 track, WHEEZ-IE's, FIVE FINGERED
SALUTE, is a stripped down bass heavy 808 laden
club
smasher. It's one of those rare tracks with wide
appeal across a lot of dierent audiences.
A track that dees genre categorization and will
easily t into every dj's set, it's just that simple.
Street arming vocal hooks, tu drums and eerie
chords dene the phrase "CLUB TRACK."
Oh yea, did i mention it's even got a nod to
Cajmere's - It's Time For the Percolator Who
DOESN'T
love rave lazer, LFO'd staccato synths!
On the A2 track, it's almost as if the title, YOU
LOSE, is what WHEEZ-IE's saying if you think
you've
got this track pegged. Stomping drums and a
bubbly, aggressive acid line lay the foundations
on this cut. One might think that's all this track is
about, however, WHEEZ-IE throws us a curve
ball in the middle of the tune with nostalgic 90s
atmospheric pads and crunchy metal percussive
FX as a juxtaposition the acid and transports us
from the present into a dark, dank warehouse
somewhere circa 1992.

Follow Up zu Mieux's Neufant EP (released im Juni 2013) mit Neuinterpretation von We Sink (Athen), Sekuoia (Kopenhagen), Kelpe (London) und HADE (Köln).
Mit extrem clubtauglichen, von UK-Garage und Bass beeinflussten Uptempo-Remixen von We Sink (Symbols / UpMyAlley) und HADE (MPM) auf der einen Seite, und rockenden Mid/Downtempo Remixen von Kelpe (Drut / Svetlana Industries) und Sekuoia (UpMyAlley / PMC) auf der anderen macht das Kölner Label wieder einmal deutlich warum das Attribut 'forward-thinking' immer wieder fällt sobald von UpMyAlley gesprochen wird. Weit vorne. Wer Disclosure, Shlohmo oder ähnliches mag solte hier reinhören.

There's something in the water in instrumental grime right now, with a new wave of producers twisting the genre's trademarks into amazing new shapes. At the forefront of all this is Slackk, whose radio slots on NTS and Rinse FM and monthly Soundcloud mixes have become the place to keep up on new grime. Slackk's always been on this wave, of course - he was DJing grime and running the essential Grimetapes website before he even had a record out - but recent years have seen him emerge as one of the genre's most exciting producers, with releases on Local Action, Numbers and Unknown to the Unknown. Failed Gods is the best record that he's made yet, packing everything from ninjaman club destroyers to beatless synth pieces, with a healthy dose of weed and Twin Peaks in the mix. Honestly the most inventive grime record released in years - don't sleep.

'The best thing Slackk's ever done' - Mixmag

'As brutal as grime gets (but with) almost soap-operatic levels of breast-beating emotion' - Philip Sherburne, Spin

ASC & Synth Sense join forces to offer the third installment in the vinyl only Auxiliary white label series. Taking things further afield
from the previous two in the series, this one sees ASC and the Synth Sense boys in super abstract and experimental mode. Free
badge while stocks last.

Back in the late 90s somewhere in Croydon, South London a dark new exciting sound was emerging from the embers of 2step Garage, Drum & Bass, Dub and Grime, fast forward 10 years and Dubstep had mutated into one of the most popular genre's in modern musical history, its unstoppable rise to prominence has been nothing short of incredible and its mass exposure has resonated globally across radio airwaves, festivals and events.

Of course Ministry of Sound has been at the forefront from the very start, releasing the first ever TV Advertised Dubstep Compilation back in 2010 and perpetually documenting the genre's pivotal moments to the present day. Over 5 albums and half a million sales later; it's time to bring you the definitive and most colossal instalment in the series. This is 'The Sound of Dubstep Classics'.

This 3CD education takes you on a journey through the records that have defined history. We kick off with literally the biggest Dubstep tracks of all time with Skream's remix of 'In The Kill' by La Roux followed by the very first Dubstep #1 single by DJ Fresh with 'Louder'. We then venture through the biggest breakthrough remixes on disc 2 that truly catapulted genre into the limelight featuring the likes of Skrillex, Nero, Rusko and Flux Pavilion before we finally end in a plethora of early dub plates and forward thinking dubstep with foundational tracks from Benga, Breakage, Coki, Emalkay and Joy Orbison.

Veil/Unveil is the new limited edition vinyl series from Auxiliary. Veil/Unveil takes the Symbol concept further, by mixing up the artists,
for a varied four track experience with each issue. Issue One features tracks by ASC, Vaccine, Sam KDC, and a collaborative effort
from ASC & Synth Sense.

Morgan Zarate's futuristic pop constructions and elegant takes on hip hop and R&B on this new EP are really something to behold. Take lead track 'Pusher Taker'. With Roses Gabor's softly sung vocal, and with the kind of melodic hooks and chords that wouldn't be out of place on a psychedelic period Prince production, the track still ends up sounding contemporary as a high contrast pop grime mutation with whipping snares. 'Kaytsu' is pretty much Hypertrap, with rolling beats, delayed chords and snares rolling across heavy bass kicks, creating a dynamic rhythmic vortex. 'Far Too Late' feat Tawiah is clap heavy R&B with energetic mid range funky worms and wooshing synths accompanying Tawiah's angry vocal. Finally, 'Tayco' explores a kind of future primitive grime, to good effect. It's a mixture of glassy industrial sounds and what sound like acoustic drums and wooden hits that give the track a really unusual feel, the rhythm track builds up and down with a real sense of urgency.

ASC, Synkro & Sam KDC team up for the second outing on Auxiliary's brand new collaborative outlet, Veil. Side one sees ASC &
Synkro pick up where Borderline / Sacred Moments left off and expand their vision further with the disjointed Machine Love and the
smoother sounding Planet X. Side two sees ASC team up with Sam KDC for two slices of future funk. 85 bpm synth power all the
way with serious bassweight thrown in for good measure. Unique music, as you'd expect from all involved.

Continuing the themes of his self titled debut last year- Mute City finds Austrian producer Clemens Bacher still pushing boundaries. Known as an acclaimed jazz drummer and multi-instrumentalist - Bacher continues a fine tradition of Viennese Jazz and maverick electronics programming- bringing a patina of otherworldy musicality to the progressive dance/hiphop niche that he works within. As well as developing his live show- the last 12 months have seen him produce for Theophilus London, Spoek Mathumbo and Mikky Ekko as well as a showstopping remix for Glaswegian band CHVRCHES that has clocked up serious airplay all across the world and been heavily featured by Zane Lowe on Radio 1.

Opener Fade oozes positivity between bitcrushed drums and distorted chords leading us to Animus:Anima a beautiful combination of soaring arpeggios and moments of sheer beauty. Title track Mute City ups the tempo and is perhaps the best example of how dancefloor friendly his music can be. Closing the EP are Red Ocean- a slower drum led slice of prog-hiphop and the overture of Extended Ranges which recalls the interludes of his previous release and serves as a dramatic closer.
