influx uk has been a staple on dj ss legendary formation records imprint for years, now taking a brief departure from leicesters finest he shows us what hes made of once more on silva ds ease up records with two cracking musical d&b pieces.

upfront promo copy..

war is a hypnotising roller characterised by its deep synth, subtle percussion and deep bass. the track sets a perfect dubby and melodic atmosphere. the flipside hosts gaijin, a high voltage track with a perfect harmony between the smooth progressive bassline and aggressive stabs. watch out! these tracks will rock the dancefloors over the world.

4 noisy breakcore/jungle tracks by the conformist aka acid quiff aka art brunell, released in 2004.

fully licensed is a new dubstep label that has burst on the scene. its already made waves in club land and its also pissing off the neighbours. we dont know much about krankie frank but what we do know is he knows his frequencies and therell be much more from this camp. watch out

following on from his critically acclaimed third album basho basho, kidkanevil is back with a selection of remixes from his forthcoming basho basho remixed album. first up is a long-time friend of fw in the shape of eliphino. he provides a stunning sub-heavy mix of >the floating world<, fans of floating points, joy orbison & bukem need to check this out. next up is manchesters illum sphere, fresh from the release of his titan ep on martyns 3024 imprint (becoming only the second producer aside from 2562 to have a solo 12 inch on the label). his rebounce of >when doves bounce< does exactly that, adding spooky electronics and tougher drums to the original.

shortstuff dribbled this ep out of his arse. it took him 12 months ? he worried about everything, accomplished nothing, and then called it something stupid. by the end of the process, everybody at ramp wanted to die. the end result is a 6 track ep, released on 3 separate 10 inches throughout august. dj support from scuba, roska, loefah, jackmaster, ben ufo, ramadanman, pangea, scratcha, lvis 1990, brackles, toddla t.

compound one started as a concept while they were at the pioneering dubstep club night fwd. fracture had been checking out the emerging dubstep sound and qualifide was then hosting a weekly show on rinse fm and had begun to mix dubstep in with his usual garage style. the timing was right, the studio session was booked? >get loose< was unleashed!

future house, funky, dubstep, techno whatever its called i think its safe to say, a corker. possibly the best yet. 3rd release on build, great support from sinden, jackmaster, redlight, mungos hi fi, modeselektor, mista jam, mary anne hobbs, mj cole, drop the lime, and telepathic support from martyn.

final version, 501 goes off road again with this massive double a-side.

s.c.u.m. is back and with a plate that ll rock you right off your socks! none other then zero g has been selected to drop his long lost ransom tune that has been cained by almost all the bigshots and even was featured in ruskos essential mix! now this tune finally sees the light of day and ready to rock the dance floors on a global scale. dj nicon of rotterdams subway crew was big fan of this tune from the start and was surprised this never got a release. so naturally this got scooped for his personal scum imprint asap! and of course no release is finished without a suitable b side so flip it over for scorpion! a brand new club banger that delivers the dubstep sound ever so crispy! if your into the heavy side of dubstep then get on this!! play support: skream, benga, walsh, marlow, seven, 501, reso, matt-u etc.

this record – never before released on vinyl - contains a 6 panel insert and a secret bonus track. pressing on 180 grams audiophile vinyl, comes in gatefold sleeve.

optimum is malcolm chen, a new producer from south east london. he has collaborated with ikonika recently but planet mu are very happy to be releasing his first solo 12 inch.
the lead track >max power< lives up to its name, mixing tight electro-soca drums with a barrage of ravey riffs that build up with strange transporting noises, creating an almost unbearable, driving intensity without ever having to reach for the wobbly bass or other cliches.

tnght (tonight) ist das gemeinsame projekt der beiden angesagten beatbastler hudson mohawke (warp) und lunice (luckyme) aus montreal, zwei youngster, die die hip hop/r&b-produzentenszene derzeit aufmischen, und auf ihrer ersten ep rap, hip hop- und r&b-sounds hemmungslos und fortschrittlich mutieren lassen.

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, wolverhamptons trc. one of the key players in the late-2000s bassline scene and more recently a prolific grime producer, trcs 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.

two brilliant new shackletons, with triumphant remixes by t++ and baron mordant.

2022 reissue the very team which helped tellier create his cult classic song la ritournelle reunited: tony allen, of fela fame, on drums. rob, keyboardist for phoenix. emmanuel dorlando on string arrangements and philippe zdar (cat power, beastie boys, kindness and part of cassius) mixing the record. lp includes mp3 download code.

es ist erst ein jahr her, dass skläsh die runde machte: das debut-album des münchener klangsurfers wurde in trendmagazinen all over the place als elektrisierende glücksspirale gefeiert, als entdeckung einer unbekannten umlaufgeschwindigkeit, einer neuen wahrnehmungsebene von zeit. skläsh war (und ist) eine global denkende musik- und zeitmaschine, angetrieben von einer erfrischend renitenten slackerigkeit.
der globus aber hat seitdem einige kratzer dazubekommen, scheint binnen diesem einen jahr um ein vielfaches gealtert zu sein. während leroy zu winterspielen in wien oder sommerfestivals im u.k. eingeladen wurde, gab es ein amokmünchen, ein putschstambul, einen brexit und einen freitag, den 13ten ba-ta-clan, kam unter viel dampf und druck eine auf rechts gerührte stimmungssuppe von zweifellos giftiger konsistenz zum brodeln. bambadea! so ist das neue album in einem spannungsfeld zwischen persönlicher euphorie und europäischem weltschmerz groß geworden.

proximas debut album, alpha, released through tempa, follows on from a string of blistering singles for the label, which found the dutch producer carving out a stark and synthetic vision of 140bpm club music. across its eleven tracks, alpha sharpens his already distinctive aesthetic while significantly broadening in scope. it is a manifesto of sorts, centred firmly around his characteristic, titanium-hard dubstep mutations, yet comfortable taking spaced out voyages through melody-soaked electronics, freaked-out sci-fi funk and vocal-led songs.

long awaited album !! amazing double lp with a unique mixture from electronic and dubstep... well done

in february 2010, gil scott-heron released >i’m new here<, his first album in thirteen years. produced by xl recordings head richard russell during various studio sessions in new york, the album was enthusiastically received by fans andcritics alike. meanwhile, the last eighteen months have been meteoric for jamie xx. his band the xxs debut album (which jamie produced) received huge acclaim, picking up 2010s prestigious mercury music prize, while jamie garnered respectfor his remixes (in particular florence & the machines >you ve got the love<) and solo productions (forthcoming single >far nearer< on numbers). so what happens when one of the most exciting young producers around reworks one of the most acclaimed albums from a true legend? the result is gil scott-heron and jamie xxs >we’re new here< which sees jamie xx remixing thirteen tracks from the original >i’m new here< album sessions.

fm pause is back on row records with wonky rhythms, rough textures and sounds that feel unstable yet precise. this 3-track ep is all about deconstructing sounds, exploring chaos, and discovering what emerges. an over-compressed, pulsating machine that builds itself up, glitches out and slowly self-destructs.

darren cunninghams eagerly awaited new album is an adventurous, ultramodern, thoroughly british affair, rummaging about in the inner lives of house and techno, and brilliantly elaborating the accomplishments of his debut, hazyville. determinedly off the map and resistant to pigeonholing, cunningham is an enigmatic and playful figure, citing francis bacon and monet as inspirations alongside theo parrish, anthony shake shakir, daft punk, binary codes and numeral systems, and the avengers. hes a hard man to pin down ? somehow a key player in the post dubstep diaspora and yet not there at all ? but everything comes across in his shape shifting, richly textured music. the south londoners acclaimed debut lived up to its name: a series of dreamlike sketches and ideas. for splazsh the fog has lifted, the sounds are less submerged than before, but still sticky and close ? a signature combination of exuberance and introversion, luminescence and puzzlement. unconstrained by the formal cliches of the dance music he loves, actress melodies and arrangements are enthralled by their own genies
