Review: If you like your reggae-influenced music that's British underground to its core - you'll like this. Sleepy Time Ghost and Bazza Ranks featuring Shumba Youth and Natty Campbell drop their very own 'Rip It Up', packed full of funky ragga vibes along with slick vocal work from everyone involved. But they've also roped in Wrongtom and FleCK on remix duties, the former of which doesn't divert from the original much but cleans it up a bit, smoothes over the edges and brings out some clarity in the mix.
FleCK takes things in a different direction, namely D&B, and the vocals sound amazing in combination with the pace of the drums, the wobbly bassline swerving underneath. Finally, Sleepy Time Ghost has incorporated a vocal-less dub version which you could easily imagine Mungo's HiFi dropping to rapturous approval. A slick release that covers various strands of British dance music history. Review: Futuristic reggae champions Liondub International make a fabulous return here as they bring together three highly rated newschool toasters for some fresh heat over the 'Sticky Riddim'.
We kick off with Sotto Bless's moody vocal stylings and and almost chanted lyricism on his cut entitled 'Sticky'. Following this we plunge into Suku Ward's intense vocal cut by the name of 'Global'. Both artists bring a unique take to the riddim, of which the instrumental version is also included in the full release package, making this a must have for any fan of future reggae music.
Review: From start to finish this is a project we thoroughly enjoyed as new school reggae hero Parly B unveils his brand new 'Lyrics Spree' album, courtesy of the mighty Scotch Bonnet. We see a real range if modern reggae themes expressed throughout the project, from the oldschool dancehall triplets of the title track 'Lyrics Spree' and 'Mad' alongside The 4'20' Sound, to the more digital roots stylings of 'Motorbike featuring Danny T & Tradesman. For us this project is full of highlights, with particular stand outs being the high profile collaboration with Mungo's HiFi and Charlie P entitled 'You Mi A Look' and the stripped back groover known as 'Money' alongside Stalawa. Review: Signing out 2016 in style: Totally Dubwise follow up their successful Riddim Up collection with another full-spectrum compendium featuring all firm family faces. Fresh versions abound from moody, gully darkness ('Versitality Dub', 'Struggle') to rushed-out party skankers ('Party All Night', 'Money Friend') to sultry sunrise horn-blazers ('Temptress Riddim') via out-and-out bounce attacks ('Police Officer') ensuring this album not only documents the strength and creative clarity of the label but every member involved, too. Serious firepower.
Review: Fresh off a string of very cool releases, we are pleased to be welcoming back Dubstep royalty in Radikal Guru, who teams up with Moonshine Recordings for a a very punchy project indeed. The title track 'Tell Dem Fi Run', is an electronic dub monster, driven by oldschool, moogy triplet bass stabs and haunting organ melodies, topped of course with a very high energy vocal performance. This one also comes with two official remixes, the first being a future dub infused Steppa Remix, the second being a full dub version, making this a must have for any reggae enthusiast. Review: This five-track single provides a taster for s/t, the debut album from Traxx, Beau Wanzer and Steve Summers aka Mutant Beat Dance.
Produced in the trio's signature grainy style, it features the baby samples and moody, repetitive bass-led 'Toy Story' as well as a possible cross over track in the shape of the jittery punk-funk and scratchy guitars of 'Feed The Enemy', a collaboration with Pat Mahoney of LCD Soundsystem. Despite this fleeting flirtation with fame, this release also shows that Mutant Beat Dance haven't forgotten their past: 'Funk Groove' is a swampy piece of electro-funk and 'Revival 80s' mines a path through the basement moods and dusty drum machines of 80s proto-house. Review: Brixton representing: system OG Brother Culture continues his rich vein of form as he follows up his recent Mungo Hifi album with another longer on Swiss vibes station Evidence Music. Bubbling with digi dub riddims and instrumentation and lyrical clarity, highlights include the springy funk of the album title 'Code Name' and 'New Generation' and the much darker, heavier and directly conscious 'Chant Dem Down' and 'Dreadlocks Thing'.
Powerful, wise and lean; Brother Culture reminds us who's boss once again. Review: If there's one thing we really really love at JunoDownload, it's a perfectly structured dubstep project, which we feel this collaboration between Barrett and the Silent Motion has delivered with major finesse. We kick this one off with the dubwise stylings of the title track 'No Mercy', driven by it's natural sounding drum work and subtle sub movements. We then take a brief look into the stunning electronic soundscape designs of 'Antichrist', before leaping into the grizzly grinding bass tones of 'Amnesia' alongside the weighty force of 'Bingleton'. Finally, we wrap the project up in style as we stumble across the super syncopated percussive pressure and spacey expanses of 'Warrior Dub'. Review: Here JD Twitch, head honcho Glasgow institution Optimo, proudly presents a rarity from the unique artist Dennis Bovell.
Described as being a 'musical polymath, top flight producer, dub legend and one of the finest artists the UK has ever produced', Bovell released an album in 1981 called Brain Damage which was an absolutely bonkers fusion of Afrobeat, funk, dub, jazz, blues and more. Everybody bought Duran Duran's record instead of course, but justice prevails here as both 'Heaven' and 'Smouche' are rescued and re-released from the LP.
Also featured is the awesome Garland Jeffreys experiment 'Escape Goat Dub'. Absolutely essential. Review: The futuristic dub stylings of renowned imprint: Scotch Bonnet are back on display with some serious style as the team gather up twelve tracks for their explosive second edition of the 'Puffers Choice' compilation series.
There are refined dubstyle flavours throughout, with our immediate favourites coming from Wolves and Bo Johnson, who provides innovative grooves and creative melodies on 'Follow Me', whilst Chief Rockas and Supercat combine on the dancehall stylings of 'Dance Inna New York'. The dark vocal pressure of General Jah Mikey also deserves a mention as he provides the fire alongside Naram on 'Ites, Green & Gold'. Review: For the latest Trio album, Van Oswald substitutes Vladislav Delay with Tony Allen. The afro-beat legend's influence looms large throughout, and that's a good thing. This is most audible on '04.4' and '05.5', where jazzy, rainy-day chords are underpinned by crashing snares and subtle, rhythmic shuffles. On other occasions, like '06.6', Allen's tight playing threatens to overpower Van Oswald's nuanced sound scapes, but despite its fluid nature, the trio is nothing if not cohesive in its restraint.
Elsewhere, Van Oswald and Loderbauer take control, and '01.1' and '02.2', droning textures take precedence. It's be interesting to hear who Van Oswald puts behind the drums next, but on Sounding Lines, Allen's presence is a welcome one. Review: It's always exciting to see new music from Radikal Guru hit the shelves. This release see's two classic works recreated in remix form none other than dubstep heavyweight DJ Madd and Melbourne's own bass maverick: Sekkleman. Madd steps up first with his gutter twist up of 'Back Off' featuring exhilarating vocals from the legendary Solo Banton. On the flip, Sekkleman builds an explosive steppers recreation of 'Raggamuffin Soldier', which of course features a lively vocal performance from Echo Ranks.
Review: Rebel MC aka Congo Natty's well received 2013 album Jungle Revolution now gets the remix treatment by the who's who of the scene. From legends to upstarts, the results are quite impressive. The man is credited as being one of the original UK junglists, setting the foundations for the sound/scene and how it has evolved since, so these guys have their work cut out for them. Highlights on here are the Dubkasm Dragon Slayer mix of 'Dub Souljah ' with its purist dancehall vibes, the new school representing proper dub with the Jinx In dub Steppa remix of 'Nu Beginningz' and the legendary Adrian Sherwood delivering his remix of 'UK All Stars In Dub '.
There's a lot to get through on here. 'London Dungeons Dub (Young Warrior remix - Son Of Jah Shaka)' brings more of the purist dub vibes back again, DJ Madd's remix of 'Jah Warriors In Dub' is no doubt the most fierce modern vibe on here while 'Nu Beginningz Dubwise (Mungos Hi Fi remix)' goes for the more smoky, low-slung vibes.
Review: Glasgow's own Scotch Bonnet continue with their super popular Scrub A Dub imprint as we draw towards 2017's close. This time around they delve back into the deep dubstep market with two fantastic original creations.
First up, Cumbria's 'Somah' steps forward with wonk inspired work of magic, bearing the well deserved title 'Rollin Dub'. On the flip side we turn down a more dubstyle avenue, courtesy of JSM's weighty arrangement of 'King Of Kings'. As ever it's great to see dub music is well and truly alive and thriving with the UK underground scene! Review: The shape-shifting, corner-dwelling AKI joins Foundation Audio with six new murkers, each one supremely balanced and meditative. This, as you'd expect, is the deeper end of the dubstep spectrum, and while tunes like 'Shimmer Dub' or 'Spectre' might not tear it up on first listen, they can cause some serious hertz damage when played out loud and BIG!
'Cesspool' stumbles in an off-kilter manner, boasting a tenebrous gust of bass at its core, while 'Artefakt' feels like the more minimalistic extreme of the grime equation, which leads on nicely to the closing remix of 'Shimmer Dub' from Chad Dubz, another impenetrable wall of low frequencies and pure heartical vibes.

N Hour 2 celebrating 30 years since their first release, on November 16th foundation laying forefathers Smith & Mighty release ‘Ashley Road Sessions’. This special one-off double label partnership between Pinch’s Tectonic and Peverelist’s Punch Drunk is an endeavour in homage to their Bristol neighbours, whom they both hold in high regard. 'Smith & Mighty are true pioneers in music whom I've found deeply inspirational on many levels. Tracks like 'Closer', 'U Dub' and 'Same' are some of my all-time favourites. To be putting out these unreleased gems is such an exciting project for both me and Tom. We both took a great deal of influence from Smith & Mighty – especially from 'Bass Is Maternal' – the album and era from which most of this compilation’s source material originates.'
Pinch It’s irrefutable and well documented that Smith & Mighty are integral to the story of Bristol music, but the duo (and occasional trio) are accountable not only as key proponents of that local sound, but also for propagating the wider array of much urban and electronic music, to this day. Rob Smith told us; 'After much deliberation, I decided to make a mix of some of the remix works I've been invollved with over the years. Hope you enjoy!'
