J:Kenzo - Urban Gorilla

01 Urban Gorilla f. Juiceman            
02 Expansion           
03 Technoid 

Tuffened dubstep/grime hybrids from the Rinse FM DJ and producer. The tensile half-step lurch of 'Technoid' appears one side, backed with an 'Urban Gorilla' vocal version starring Juiceman, and the skippy cyber-grime styles of 'Expansion'... www.boomkat.com

Gemmy - Too Far / Da Dodgems

1. Too Far
2. Da Dodgems

Future-fresh Dubstep-Boogie weight from one of Bristol's most colourful producers. The one to check is obviously the massive 'Da Dodgems', finding a sweet spot between jerkin', late '90s Timbaland-style R&B and rolling Dubstep-Boogie like few others we could think of. The flipside 'Too far' is a cool and kinda unusual piece of halfstep funk, but trust us, you simply need this for the B-side!...www.boomkat.com

Goth Trad - Babylon Fall EP

01. Babylon Fall (ft.Max Romeo)
02. Falling Leaf
03. Itinerant Priest
04. Sublimation

The Far East assassin drops his most substantial work yet for Deep Medi. The lead cut features legendary JA vocalist Max Romeo on one of Goth Trad's sweeter riddims, but there's still enough menace and bass weight to hold it down in any of the bigger dances. The rest is back to meaner business, from the hard rolling Techno vibes of 'Sublimation' to the fluctuating double time flex of 'Falling Leaf' and the Coki-style, wile-out rave pressure of 'Itinerant Priest'...www.boomkat.com

Dom - Blakelock EP

1. Blakelock
2. Blakelock (Grievous Angel Remix)
3. Blakelock (Donga & Blake Dub Mix)

Crafty Dubstep from Dom on the freshly minted 877 label, backed with remixes by Grievous Angel and Donga & Blake. There's a definite hint of Timbaland to the original 'Blakelock', squashing a squirmy bass under fragrant vocals sample and sparse, shoulder-rolling rhythm to cool effect. On the flip Grievous Angel steps up for a meaner, meatier version with louder, ruffed-up percussion, and Donga & Blake run a slickly dubbed Garage House sound...www.boomkat.com

Skream - Exothermic Reaction

1. Exothermic Reaction
2. Future Funkizm

Scorchingly fierce and forward Dubstep sound designs. The last time Skream appeared on Nonplus was coincidentally one of his finest moments in years with the 'Minimalistix' session, and this one is about the best we've heard from him this year. A-side 'Exothermic Reaction' is an exhilarating transfer of dancefloor energies, charging up a beastly, club-razing metallic synthline over 4/4 to halfstep rhythm switches. B-side 'Future Funkizm' is a cheezy title, but the track is a pure killer, built with the boldest sound design imaginable. For the cutting edge types...www.boomkat.com

Coki - Urban Ethics

01: Shock It
02: Old Hope
03: Serious
04: Intergalactic
05: Robotnik
06: Animal
07: It

At long last Coki ‘s "Urban Ethics" triple LP finally drops. A natural sequel to the recent Mala-produced monster "Return II Space", "Urban Ethics" is the other side of the same Digital Mystikz coin. Where Mala offers the deepest seismic dub cuts, Coki delivers something altogether tougher. Opening cut "Shock It" leads the way with the kind of atmospheric intro and Scything buzzsaw bass drop that will knock the dancefloor sideways. "Old Hope" and "Serious" dip into Mala territory, proving that Coki has a rootical side as well - these are heavyweight jams that would sound fresh on the dreadest sound systems. "Intergalactic" mashes the two, mixing roots horns and a neck-snap riddim, while "Robotnik" and "Animal" have 'nasty' written all over them - not for the faint hearted! Last but not least is the disorientating "It" - spliced beats, killer bass and something nasty lurking in the fug of ganja smoke...www.piccadillyrecords.com

Trolley Snatcha - One Trick Pony EP

01 Pass Me By
02 Always On My Mind
03 Rocco's Revenge
04 We Go Deep

Trolley Snatcha is the latest artist to receive the Dub Police stamp of approval with his diverse four-tracker the "One Trick Pony" EP. Proving that he is anything but, Trolley turns out a selection of tunes that display a mature and open-minded approach to dubstep. From the ear-battering Trolley trademarks that litter "Pass Me By" and "Rocco’s Revenge" to the smoothed out bliss of "Always On My Mind" and the light techno touches of "We Go Deep", this EP will grab the attention of anyone with a keen ear for quality music...www.phonicarecords.com

Clouds - Spat

01 Spat
02 Era Of Black Holes Part

The already-excellent dubstep duo Clouds have taken their game to the next level with two stunning tracks for their freshly minted Channel Zero imprint. As the logic goes, if you're a producer starting your own label, you'll save your very best tracks for release on said label. Clouds have certainly done that here, keeping the brilliant 'Spat' for the A-side, to deliver a shocking future-stepper coated with the sort of twinkly icy-blue electronics they're known for. On the flip is the real treasure on 'Era Of Black Holes', shirking any dubstep responsibilities to reveal an extra dope instrumental hiphop rhythm, sounding like Flying Lotus jamming with Lukid after a particularly relaxing sauna session. This 12" is already in demand and we expect it to fly out. Big record!...www.boomkat.com

Piece of Shh... - Diablo Riddim

01 Diablo Riddim (PoS Original)
02 Diablo Riddim (Zomby's Acid)
03 Diablo Riddim (Hektagon's Shuffle)

Very crafty post-dubstep wrigglers from Belgradeyard Soundsystem member, Piece Of Shh... backed with deft remixes from Zomby and Hektagon. He's had a dope release out on Earsugar Beatbox and remixed Sutekh previously, but this is his first proper foray into the dubstep arena. His 'Diablo Riddim' skitters between concrete dubstep rave and squirming techno signatures, before Zomby steps in with a much less frantic and swaggering reduction of rave styles at ruffly 130bpm, and Hektagon runs harder with the febrile funk to give a canny flux of sea-sick dub-tech and raving acid strikes. Tuff & techy business...www.boomkat.com

Seven - Siren (Remix)

A Siren (Remix)
B The Villain

A firing new remix of SEVEN's ravetastic dubstep track that might have you feeling a bit woozy from all of those chopped & screwed, slowed & skewed sirens! B-side "VILLAIN" is a chunky monkey of skittering breaks and bass...www.groovedis.com

J.Rabbit - The Sex Crime EP

a. Crazy Talk
b. Disco Stick
c. Sex Crimes
d. Thug Life

J.Rabbit is killing it right now. The New York resident, is not new to the genre, and with releases on DZ’s Badmen label, Play me, and huge remixes for the Party Like Us Crew, there seems to be no stopping him these days.
Here, He lets off some steam with a 4 cut monster EP for the Trillbass crew. These tracks are pure nasty dancefloor killers. Insane Basslines, and thumping drums pump thru all four of these tracks, and leaves nothing to the imagination. These are a must for any DJ who wants to destroy bassbins... J.Rabbit is a beast, welcome to the revolution.

El Rakkas - Seas Of Disease / I & I Remixes

1 Seas Of Disease (LV Remix)
2 I & I (XI Remix)

El Rakkas, the duo from Graz, Austria, can be described in a very broad fashion as the sound that fills the void between Rhythm and Sound and the generalized stereotype of Dubstep. This could be a basis of thought, but as that denotes an artist with more in common with headphones than that of a dancefloor, it really is not wholly accurate, as anyone who has pushed our previous LoDubs 12" by them through a proper soundsystem (LoDubs-014, featuring the originals of these two remixes) can attest to. Now, those mystical elements are scrutinized by two pillars of our sound, LV and XI, with a sensibility that shows a pretanatural understanding of the individual songs inherit traits.
LV, largely known for productions on Hyperdub (We honestly believe "Turn Away" is by far the best song on the recent Hyperdub comp) Takes "Seas of Disease" and gives it a punchy near four-on-the-floor kick drum and driving swing, that along with distinctive crakles and effects demonstrate what could be a nexus of a whole substrian of the sound, should some big headed blogger decide to come up with a catchphrase for it. in a true ying to the LV's yang, XI presents a monster of a remix of "I & I" which unlike many throw-everything-at-the-wall remixes, contains a largely understated kick drum, nor anything garish in the way of a melody. The raw power in this remix comes from what we are referring to as an "Anti-wobble", a ingeniously applied bassline full of subharmonic sweeps, bleeps, and creeps that much like the LV remix, really demands a classification of its own. It simply must be heard in the correct environment to be believed...www.lodubs.bandcamp.com

Quest - Special Edition Digital Bundle

1. The Seafront
2. Deep Inside
3. Stand
4. Eden
5. Last Days
6. Unknown

Deep Medi do us all a flavour and collect Quest's work for the label in one essential set. From the laidback boogie swing of 'The Seafront' to the widescreen strings and loved-up steppers vibes of 'Eden' these are all essential cuts for the deepest dubstep pickers, now available at a very fair price. Highly Recommended...www.boomkat.com

Caspa / Emalkay - Ready Eddy / Critical Hit

1. Caspa - Ready Eddy
2. Emalkay - Critical Hit

The first part of three 12” releases featuring tracks originally released on the Scion / Dub Police CD only collaboration compilation not too long ago. This twelve offers up two heavyweight tunes from arguably the biggest names in the aggro-step (new genre alert!) world, Caspa and Emalkay! Caspa switches his usual profanity-dropping spoken geezer intro to a speak and spell machine ('R U ready'), but keeps the gnarled bass riffs and thudding beats as per. Emalkay's "Critical Hit" is another typically hefty wobbler that's sure to get the rewind request. Don’t sleep on this one...www.piccadillyrecords.com

Digital Mystikz - Walkin' With Jah / Earth A Run Red

01. Walkin' With Jah
02. Earth A Run Red

After months of white labels and airings on every dubstep affiliated radio show/station in the dubosphere the most anticipated DMZ of them all drops like a 300lb rasta after a well packed chillum. 'Earth a run red' is instantly recognisable, a holler from Sgt. Pokes introduces the electric riff and a rootical half step swing, thoroughly modern steppers styles. 'Walkin' with Jah' boots up a notch into a garage compatible 'up' roller with spooked out theremin FX and a turbulent Babylon sent bassline. Comes complete with full artwork courtesy of Soul Jazz musical entertainment company for your aesthetic pleasure, but then again, you're probably too redeyed too see it anyway...www.boomkat.com

Peverelist - Better Ways of Living / Fighting Without Fighting

1. Better Ways of Living
2. Fighting Without Fighting

Following the unanimous acclaim for his 'Jarvik Mindstate' LP, Peverelist drops two righteously forward riddims for Punch Drunk - and for our money they're his finest yet. The Bristol ringleader has built his rep on quality, not quantity and these tracks bear testament to his prinicipled and stringently executed approach. 'Better Ways Of Living' nods to the pared down 808 aesthetic of Swamp 81 with a brittle bustling beat scaffold acting like monkey bars for a piped synth organ to twist, scuttle and roll around in, while 'Fighting Without Fighting' continues the rhythmically busy flex with slick dipping edits and bespoke dub measurements applied inna future jungle-hardcore style. His built-from-the-ground-up style and the exquisitely brief yet sprightly synth motif make this one of his very finest tracks to date and a deadly mixing tool to slip with your Ramadanman, Blawan and Joe 12"s. Utterly sick twelve - don't miss...www.boomkat.com

Digital Mystikz - Return II Space

01 Unexpected
02 Pop Pop Epic
03 Mountain Dread March
04 Eyez
05 Livin Different
06 Return II Space

As half of the Digital Mystikz production unit and label, Mala has practically revolutionized UK dance music. The reverberations of those earliest DMZ platters and their subsequent evolutions have now spread virus-like into new stylistic hosts, with mutant traces assimilated into everything from the new M.I.A album to the Berlin nightscape. With ultra-high production values indebted to the dub and soundsystem culture he grew up alongside, Mala re-encoded the subbass memes of Jungle, Garage and Dancehall into a new form of half-timed pressure, putting emphasis on a slower, dread-infused style of dancefloor tension, now known as Dubstep. For many 'Return II Space' is the most anticipated album of the last half decade, a definitive statement from one of UK Bass music's most venerated practitioners, loaded with exclusive dubs previously only heard in his presence at the weighiest dances. Split over 3 heavy 12"s, each marked with individual DMZ catalogue numbers, the album rolls with it's own sense of space and pace that's incredibly unique to Mala's imagination. The delicate contrast of glassy keys and skull quivering subs in 'Unexpected' starts the dance according to his mantra of "Meditate On Bassweight' before turning to the sci-fi darkside with the extraordinary dreadnaught vibes of 'Pop Pop Epic', a hulking ten tonne stepper staring red-eyed and ready from yer quaking speaker cones. The scrunched synth and visceral pressure of fan's favourite 'Eyez' makes an appearance on the second plate, backed with the creepily affective special 'Mountain Dread March', and a final disc presents the tentatively probing keys of 'Livin Different' replete with Ital subbass harmonics and finally the gargantuan skank of the title track, built fi dem wha' do. Perhaps our only gripe with the album is that he could have flexed out on a wider range of tempos, but that's really only a small concern as the tracks we do have are f**king outstanding. Highly recommended...www.boomkat.com

Benga - Stop Watching / Little Bits

A. Stop Watching
B. Little Bits

Steppin' out of his Magnetic Man suit, Benga drops two high-impact rave slayers for Digital Soundboy. The sparse syncopations of 'Stop Watching' on the A-side is like some evil dubstep cousin to Roska's 'Squawk', using maximised stabs and skeletal - yet big boned - rhythm structure to stand as a wicked DJ tool. 'Little Bits' however chucks everything in with mad reverse edits, stella'd-up riffage and a bucking kick/snare pattern for the wile-out skankers. Upfront white label copies, Rude...www.boomkat.com

Taz Buckfaster - Recovery / Headlock

01 Recovery
02 Headlock

Tearing-balls-out dubstep rave from Glasgow's Taz Buckfaster. The refined sugar rush of 'Recovery' is an intense blast of rave powah for anyone who enjoys the frolicks of Rusko and Caspa, while 'Headlock' is a brostep anthem in the making, conjuring imagery of letterman jacketed dubstep goons flushing lesser steppers down the loo. Madness...www.boomkat.com
