Recently featured in Ben Klock's FABRIC66 mix, Sagat is making his way up in techno circles around the globe. This is his second effort, an extra-limited release on Belgium's VLEK records, with a gorgeously crafted screenprinted sleeve.

Since writing the suicide note for Skull Disco in 2008, Shackleton has made a well received long player for Perlon and remixed the likes of Harmonia and Brian Eno, Moderat and To Rococo Rot as well as making a mix cd for the Fabric series and one of the final mixes for the Mary Anne Hobbes show on Radio One. This release however sees Shackleton once again with his own label which will go by the name of Woe To The Septic Heart!
Those who have heard Shackleton before may know what to expect and will not be surprised to hear two bass-heavy, percussive tracks with a psychedelic edge and an involved narrative that will perhaps not be played out on every dancefloor. More's the pity.

Alpha Steppa Discovers The Two Sacred Swords Of Lutan Fyah: Vocal, Dub and Remix. Alpha Steppa (Steppas Records/ Dub Dynasty) presents the vocal talents of Jamaican reggae singer Lutan Fyah. Lutan started his musical career in 1999, recording for Buju Banton's legendary Gargamel Records. Since then he has gone on to release numerous records with various high-profile labels, including VP and Greensleeves. This release features a vocal and dub version from Alpha Steppa plus a chest-rattling remix from Hungarian-born DJ Madd. Madd gravitated towards the low-end sonics of dubstep in 2008, with early releases on the well-respected Boka Records and the infamous white-label WAR series. The success of these early releases caught the attention of several front-line dubstep labels and Madd went on to release with Black Box, Osiris, Wheel & Deal and Moonshine Recordings. An essential Steppas single presented in the brand new black & gold foil printed house-bag, quality assured with the golden lion stamp of approval.

Arttu is back on Royal Oak after his critically acclaimed Nuclear Funk / Get Up Of It release late 2011. Another split single featuring two Detroit Jazz and Funk vocalists. The female poet Diamondancer on Tune In and the his buddy from Jerry The Cat on Move! Arttu smoothly blends his roots in the best house traditions with contemporary influences on these two tracks.

Awakening from it's long hibernation, the italian imprint Avantgarde Records fathered by Dabs and Grotesque creeps up back in the scene with quite a profound release under it's belt. Dabs works his production technique on the remix for Eastcolors' tune 'I Don't Know Why' adding a stellar structure and evolutionay production on the A side. Off-beat thumping beat work brushed with an understated vocal. Vigorous sweeps and a grumbling bassline, all this solidifying the track into something that's after your cerebral cortex. The B side of this release is the variation in prodution for the track 'Sparse' by Quadrant and Iris which was out earlier on the label now reintroduces itself with a more driving minimal feel and unfolding basslines. Not much of a big variation to the original but it is notable polish.

Making a clean break with the poisonous digital dubstep rhythms in his first EP, Dogboy's Basement To The Attic is an fearless musical
odyssey where the confines of this world end in intriguing organic sounds. In a way that Wishmountain or Burnt Friedman would,
Dogboy scrutinizes the boundaries between experimentation and pure dance music. Using recordings made in the different rooms
of his family home, the four tracks on the EP start with laying down the subtitle emotional cool yet wobbly riddim card on the
table, before gradually rising the subs and the pressure into a rave like burst of pride. Futuristic, organic, progressive and utterly baffling,
what makes Basement To The Attic so successful is it's purely unique.

Two of D&B's most exciting new Bristol based production houses drop their debut release on Critical Music's Modulations imprint.
Pristine, brooding drum & bass aimed squarely at the more experimental side of the spectrum, pitched perfectly for Critical's forward
thinking attitude.

The long awaited debut EP from talented new artist Ipman touches down on Wheel and Deal. You may have already heard his
dubplate's smashing clubs and radio with Support from the likes of Youngsta, N-Type, Distance and his good friend Killawatt, who
has a succession of releases with Wheel & Deal Records.
Ipman has an eclectic and diverse musical taste with a strong background in sound design. His tracks are deep and atmospheric but
with infectious hooks and ground breaking beats. His ability to cross several genres in one track puts him at the forefront of the new
Dubstep movement. This release brings Techno, Reggae, Dub & House into the mix with a fresh and current style! Ipman is defiantly
one to watch in 2013 and beyond!

Imagine a place where tattered bits of unmusical ingredients are cast aside and forgotten. Where the rough and ugly pieces of sound are tossed and left to decompose. It's the very place where Dutch sound designer Julien Mier spends his days sifting through the rubble to reclaim broken sounds and save them from their demise. Julien utilizes the unique characteristics of each sound, arranging them together, creating exciting new environments overflowing with both beauty and emotion. Welcome to Jane's Junkyard. Lowriders latest album features five original compositions from Julien Mier, one memotone adaption just for the digital release and two additional remixes from Trian Kayhatu and Robot Koch.

Russian OL and Scottish ¥OIN are two young producers with something to say. On the ascent as emergent artists and off the back of excited feedback from their respective solo releases on Error Broadcast & Tuff Wax, OL & ¥OIN are in collaboration mode for the 'Sink' EP on Fine Grains.

Their first collaborative work, 'Real Thang', featured in Fine Grains Vol. 1 and received support and plays on BBC Radio 1 and NTS. The Slick Shoota remix of the 'Sink' EP title track has received support & airplay from Scratcha DVA on Hyperdub's Rinse FM show and 'Nails' was premiered on B.Traits BBC Radio 1 show. The full EP includes further remixes by Spanish grime/ garage specialist Noaipre and the crown prince of modern ballroom MikeQ, and Divoli S'vere.

FG001 OL & ¥OIN's 'Sink' EP is the first in a series of collaborative releases from Fine Grains, connecting artists from micro scenes around the globe. Record artwork comes from Norwegian illustrators OhYeahStudio. A video of the title track by Halvor Bodin will be released closer to the release date.

Jamie XX - "Ooh this is sick. Really into it, especially 'You'll never know'."
Jimmy Edgar - "Def feelin this release, MikeQ is my shit. I like when it gets dark"
Eclair Fifi - "Dope, dope, dope" ///
Pitchfork - "You'll Never Know" is a colorful bass cut that utilizes subtle tempo changes to sneakily change the whole tune's landscape."

very limited repress!! *BRAiNMATH returns yet again, this time with something quite special. We are truly humbled to announce Port Carbo a new mini album by Lowtec
*Since his releases for Playhouse in the mid 90's defining micro/minimal house, through to his involvement in the current renaissance of leftfield deep house with his own Workshop label and releases on Boddika's NonPlus label, Lowtec (aka.

TUBA announces their next 12inch vinyl release.

Prism's A-side begins dark and cold as ancient
prison stone, motionless save an automated string sample ebbing in waves. The breakdown is characteristically spare and ethereal with a few pounding heartbeats. Suddenly, in a moment of true eloquence, Prism turns on both the lights and heat simultaneously, filling the sonic space with a gorgeous quasi-drop. Dynamic and versatile, it plays out as a spectrum from cold and dark to warm and generative-exactly like a sunrise.

On the B-side Compa's remix is foreboding as a creepy stranger's warning and as dark as a spell cast by a dark, latent entity. Congas add a mystical and organic element and slight drum fills float alongside slow, even pacing. The tune concludes with deeply distorted underlying strings, reminiscent of long, gunmetal-grey gutters. A shadowy track all the way through.

Mala returns, donning his Cuban hat once again, this time at the helm with
friend and collaborator Simbad. Reworking the single 'Noches Sueños' from
his acclaimed 'Mala in Cuba' album, Mala takes a step southwards towards
Croydon and his dubstep roots, going deeper and more Mystik in style, while
keeping those lucid, dream like jazz vocals provided by Havana's Danay
Suarez.

A surreal spark of darkness slowly awakens a monstrous tune that becomes more radical by the second. With soundscapes taking
serious shapes, the emotion actually comes from deep within: pointing out to infinity. 'Desolate' is a hazardous mixture of sick,
twisted growls taking extremely unique forms, sub-driven resonating basslines and spacious soundscapes, which bound you to
darkness instantly. As the intriguing second part of 'Desolate' flows through the mind and soul, no listener is left unharmed as it
sweeps you away from reality. With further developed harsh, sharp
percussive elements and frightening samples to accentuate this cold production, desolation will become a step closer each and every
time you lose control.
(Fornax - Unconscious)
The scene portrayed in the intro of 'Unconscious' is nicely reproduced and executed, accompanied by an unforgettable pad that
helps build up a mind-blowing drop. As it hits the brain, the 'havoc' created by Fornax really levitates your journey to a different state
of mind. The ever-evolving growls make it all seem endless, tuning into the right frequencies through contagious rhythms and
tribalistic hits. Striking low-end makes you shake to the ground, with resonance tearing up everything in its way. 'Breathing' sounds
being one of the hypnotizing factors that will keep you locked wherever you are, it's a fundamental catalyst that slows your reaction
time. This ultimately makes it such a powerful track, which might instigate cruel nightmares.
(FNC - Imprinted)
Intensely liquefied growls lead you through the minds of these two producers reaching from the depths of the UK. The woman's voice
sounds effective and soothing, preparing you for a mental stepper that gets the mind straight. As a smooth and vibrant low-end
accompanies the chilled minimal percussion, the ice-cold growls freeze your receptors while they leave their carved marks. With little
suppressed drum hits, which might be seen as something functioning as a trace, it could give you a sense of direction towards the
evil information stored inside your head. The punchy
mid-ranges give a bounce to this track that remind me of Kaiju's style, with a unique little blend inside. FNC proves to be one of the
most promising producer-duos of 2013, 'Imprinted' is one of those tunes that are a crucial choice for every set.
Written by Korrupt (FatKidOnFire)

"(...) we knew the world would not be the same few pepole laughed few people cryed most people were silent(...)"

Words by Robert Oppenheimer, sampled and used by Sick for his debut release on NoMad.


On the original one, a decadent intro with swishing reverse cymbals, create like a perfect countdown for the incoming hypnotic melody. These two elements, along with a deep half-step beat, continue their propagation for the whole track, made with a certain dose of style and precision.


The real explosion comes with the acclaimed remix made by Artikal (J:Kenzo & Mosaix) who have masterfully dubbed out the version increasing the kicks, making a real runaway hit, already played and supported by many djs as Youngsta and Amit on insefm.

"This is a whole new level of weird", intones a disembodied voice on Proxima's 'Thermal Vision' the lead track of his new 12" for Tempa. It's a perfect summary of its disorienting appeal: winding upwards through a tense opening, it abruptly explodes into a turbulent salvo of percussion. Its monstrous chunks of sound chop violently back and forth from speaker to speaker, assaulting dancers from all sides and broadsiding the senses, while sub-bass blasts upward from beneath. It's both alien and astonishingly intense, poised to detonate on dancefloors without ever resorting to stereotypical 'club banger' tricks. It's easy to hear why Proxima's tracks have become regulars in dubstep scene figurehead Youngsta's record bag.
*Based in Holland, Proxima, who released his first Tempa 12" Formal Junction in 2012 - originally started out making rough-edged, percussive drum & bass tracks. His move into dubstep has retained the latter's restless momentum, but slowing the tempo has allowed him more space to establish an angular, compulsive sense of groove.
*'Valve Wars' on the flip is harsher, all battery acid bass textures paired with woody percussive clicks and metallic snare taps. But there's a subtle, dubby ear for melody running through the whole track, discovering moments of unexpected beauty within the fray.

fter UA003, Uprise Audio CEO Seven raised the bar so high that it left some people wondering if UA004 would be able to match up to the standards now set. But Seven had another ace up his sleeve and was ready to lay down a royal flush.
UA004 'The Uprising EP', signifies a turning point for Uprise Audio. Being the first release from Uprise to consist of tracks from multiple artists, 'The Uprising EP' assembles 5 pinnacle tracks from the likes of Seven, Quantum Soul, Dubtek & Chewie, Klax & Disonata, as well as Uprise Audio newcomer Wayfarer. Following a first place ranking in the dubstep forums award for 'Best New Label', they are determined to further their sonic excursions with this behemoth of an EP. Having seen tremendous support from top grade DJ's like Youngsta, J:Kenzo, N-Type, and Vivek, Uprise Audio's first compilation release, 'The Uprising EP' takes forth a surefire precedence of forward thinking dubstep productions.

Tracklisting:

New Zealand's Truth - the duo of Andre Fernandez and Tristan Roake - put an expansive, cinematic twist on the deeply rooted sounds of pure dubstep. Crushing bass pressure and all-pervading sensations of dread remain the hallmarks of their sound, but previous releases through Tempa, Deep Medi and Disfigured Dubz have also been steeped in soft-focus melody and meditative atmospheres. That's made them distinctive, glimmering highpoints in DJ sets by dubstep scene figurehead Youngsta, as well as the likes of Digital Mystikz and Hatcha.*Devil's Hands is the duo's second release for Tempa, following 2011's Dreams, and offers a pair of intricate, smoky and ocean-deep dancefloor riddims. 'Devil's Hands' plays off a delicious tension between sweet and sinister: beautiful, chiming melodies abruptly plunge downward into great chasms of sub-bass, with percussion stripped away to leave the fewest possible elements needed to make bodies move.

*'I Belong' pushes that dichotomy to even further extremes: a stunningly minimalist, pulsing backdrop is paired with a sung vocal from Yayne. She drifts buoyant and elegant in the midrange, carried along in the track's slipstream, while piano melodies and tendrils of melodic fog gradually unfurl around her.

Ein Genre, dass schon in den späten 90ern für eine Menge
Furore sorgte, sich aber leider auf dem europäischen Festland
niemals richtig durchsetzen konnte.
Das hat sich aber mit dem unglaublichen Aufstieg vom
DUBSTEP seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre schlagartig verändert...
So beweisen Acts, wie der Belgier Netsky, dass Drum N Bass
auch im 21. Jahrhundert noch immer Charttauglich sein kann!
- Drum'n'Bass' kommt als Schwester-Serie zur erfolgreichen
- DUBSTEP'-Reihe auf ZYX Music und präsentiert einige der
wichtigsten jungen Protagonisten des Genres!
TRACKLIST


Remix

On "Moosebumps", we find two producers at the top of their game taking an unprecendented and unforeseen left turn, in pitch-perfect unison.

Muscovite Alexey Devyanin, having attained world renown as Pixelord via his "Fish Touch" EP (on the seminal wonky stable Error Broadcast), further consolidated this firm signature sound with the subsequent "Puzzles" and "Keramika" EPs. On "Moosebumps", however, he delves into territories only previously hinted at (on tracks such as "Equis"). Doing away with the bleeps, the beatsmith aesthetic, and the bombastic nature of his previous efforts, he crafts three works of restrained, focused beauty and diaphanous-yet-meaty sonics. "I Don't Need This", seemingly titled via its concept itself, has Alexey employing a bare minimum, and connecting the dots in straight lines. Every single sound on this track is alternately spotlighted, in dreamy, relaxed succession. "I'll Be There" marries Casio-like-beats, with balearic undertones, with Moby-esque vocal cuts, creating a definitive, yet innovative nod to the 90s. "Shining Inside" is a subtly-oriental, atmospheric and expedient take on future garage, punctuated by rare and effective sub-bass throbs. Production-wise, comparisons can be drawn to post-dubstep alumni such as Blake, Jamie xx, or Airhead, but in terms of songwriting, this is unmistakably Pixelord, allowing Infinite Machine the honor of proudly showcasing what is arguably his most mature work to date.

Beneath has been amassing support over this last year for his unique take on the 120-130 bpm tempo range with recent releases on Keysound and his own No Symbols imprint, as well as killer sets and mixes on The Boiler Room and beyond. Starting with a UK Funky inspired rhythmical backbone, Beneath moves things deep, dark, rolling and tribal with a sound palette that touches very much on the early aesthetic of dubstep circa 2003-2005. Tectonic is very pleased to welcome the young mysterious talent that is Beneath to the label with these two stone cold cuts. 'Duty' is pure sonic warfare condensed into 125 bpm and charged with system-punching weight. It builds slowly but moves with grace and percussive energy and - as always with Tectonic - plenty of gut-wrenching sub bass. It is dark and deadly in every way and highly recommended. 'Texers' continues the theme with a no-compromise approach and bags of attitude. The best way to describe these sounds are if you were to imagine a killer Roska track circa 2010, married with the soundscapes of a 2005-Youngsta DJ set, re-imagined for 2013. Future sound There's no such thing - this is one hundred per cent of the moment.

After the release of their acclaimed 1st anniversary compilation, ClekClekBoom Recordings already have another EP ready to go,
coming in the shape of a vinyl-only white label from CCB's co-founder and figurehead French Fries.
Having supplied the imprint's inaugural "What to Do / One ting Dub" white label in July 2012, the second installment finds the
producer going back to an prior analogue jam session, where producer used only his beloved Minimoog Voyager, an old Sequential
Circuits drumtraks and the classic TR 909.
Inspired by Chicago's producers from the Dance Mania era, French Fries also lays down his own vocal freestyle of "Drums-Traxx"
across the EP.
The first part, 'Drums' uses an infectious acid bassline to cut through an overdriven Detroit inspired groove.
The flipside, "Traxx" is the result of a lengthy jam session with Chaos in the Cbd in French Fries' studio and uses the same sounds for
a different purpose. For this Chicago flavoured version, a 4x4 kick propels the groove accompanied by loose, pitched toms and
distorted hats
'Drums / Traxx' undoubtedly drips with old-school Detroit & Chicago House influence but as the impassioned vocal chant of the EP
title sprinkled across both tracks reinforces, it is not purporting to be anything but a sincere, superbly executed homage to a classic
era.

Annoncement of the forthcoming Control Tower LP. Limited edition - Electro dub supa clean and dancefloor. Masterpiece. Futuir wanted.

With a prolific career in the d'n'b and dubstep scene, MATT-U always keeps a unique mark, clear and recognizable, in his productions, getting the support of producers as Youngsta, N-Type, Skream and Benga.
After his releases for well respected labels as Black Box, Osiris, Subway, No.Mad is proud to announce his entrance in the Turin family.

This release comes from a real friendship with Matt-U born during some of our regular turinese gigs called 'Bratski Krug'. The better way to consolidate this friendship was to include in this release one of our best local dubstep producer: De Niro.

'Something About You' is maybe the most unusual track Matt-U has released in his career. Dreaming pads and pitched voices fused in a deep bassline. Future garage.. Dubstep.. Just don't care, in a properly No.Mad style. We loved this track and its power to draw the listener in a direct as simple oniric dimension.

On the B side, De Niro gives a more dancefloor interpretation with his remix, turning the whole tune into an unexpected new vision: dark and solid as usual, leaving now and then just the lights of the original one.

This was the best way to introduce the other tracks: 'Black Lodge' and 'Tuning'.This time Matt-U goes straight to the point spreading around the darkest vibes and the magnetic drum pattern with his classic and unmistakable imprint. As in 'Twin Peaks', the famous television series, we love thinking about two sides: white and black, connected under a red sign.

This eardrum killing dubstep track tends to get in your head, and just when you think you heard it all, it explodes into a full force drum 'n bass track!
As we mentioned a little while ago we are starting a label called "Hit 'n Run Music"
As the first vinyl release is being shipped to the shops we thought this would be a good time for some details!The first 12" EP is made by Hit 'n Run Soundsystem artists only:
Stefan ZMK, Li-Z, Cursed Legion and Jacob Inhuman.The release will be in the Vinyl shops from the 10th of June 2013!

Terror Danjah is an established artist, known for his incredible legacy of grime tracks, and DJ Champion is a younger producer who makes sub-heavy dread funky tracks which are heavily indebted to the sound that Terror helped create and develop. The 'Sons Of Anarchy' EP is the very fine result of their collaboration, featuring one track each by Terror and Champion, and two with them working together. Kicking off with Terror's 'Glide', the track builds up with ambient electronic birdsong, before a rough bassline punches a hole in the atmosphere, modulating and building and dipping in energy. The first of the collaborative tracks is 'Stone Island', which segues together Champion's sub-basslines and tough martial snares with Terror's ear for rhythmic details, fxs and breakdowns. 'Bowser's Castle' is Champion's solo track - a melodic sub-bassline bounces in a space around dancehall-like snares, guaranteed to get you making funny shapes on the dancefloor. 'Explode' is the second collaboration, mixing a ragga vocal, seasick rushing bongos and hard snares, balanced on a dread sub-bass and a daft p-funk riff ... an energetic mutant of a track with a wacky energy.

Last year, Adrian Sherwood, artist, producer and founder of the legendary dub label On-U Sound, and Pinch, one of the freshest faces in dubstep and the man behind hits like "Qawwali', joined forces to reconstruct pieces of 'Survival & Resistance', Sherwood's first album in 6 years. Pinch's contribution to the 'Recovery Time' EP proved so successful that it has now led to the pair cementing an equal partnership - a brand new project that brings two seminal producers operating within different orbits of the bass and dub scene together. The first fruits of this studio collaboration can be heard on the killer 'On-U Sound vs. Tectonic' 12', which pairs up 'Bring Me Weed' with the 'Weed Psychosis Mix' - a vital melding of their two styles and an intriguing preview of more to come. After a stunning debut show at Sonar Tokyo, Sherwood & Pinch appear at Sonar Barcelona 14 June, Dour 20 July and NEOPOP 10 August.

Honing his craft from his live-in studio above a South London public house, William Arcane weaves striking vocal leads through impeccable electronic production and sound design.

Having experimented for years, Permanence represents a young producer reaching maturity. William Arcane has created something incredible incorporating sounds found in London's clubs, streets and his own beautifully considered vocals.

Nach fast zweijähriger Release-Pause meldet sich UpMyAlley mit Mieux's Debut EP 'Neufant' gewohnt frisch und qualitativ hochwertig zurück - don't call it a comeback. 4 Tracks irgendwo zwischen House, Footwork und Halftime Beats, die sowohl auf dem Dancefloor als auch zuhause funktionieren.
