The ever-impeccable Magic Wire imprint returns with another great release from Neon Jung. The original is a kaleidoscopic slice of rave-kissed bumpin’ brilliance, while on the flip the label tap up Nathan Fake for a remix who turns in a dope otherworldly take on the original laying out the loose 2-step rhythm in a dense fog of hazy synths. Pick it up on vinyl and digital from 20th Feb.
Very strong release from Stavrogin on the increasingly well respected B.YRSLF Division. The EP spans a range of sounds, referencing moody garage with shades of Bass Clef and Groove Chronicles, as well as more half time influences heard on Run Down. The standout track for me though is the most upbeat on the EP, The Avenue VIP, which has wicked chopped vocals which help bring all the different elements of the track together.

Get Some Records are proud to present our second release, the Crypt EP. Essex based 19-year-old, Daniel Shell, also known to many as ‘Crypt‘ has been a music fan since before he can remember. First producing Grime and Dubstep fueled by the various vinyls and CD’s found in his Dad’s music collection. Now influenced by the sounds of Zomby, Burial, Falty DL, Sepalcure and many he produces tracks with a garage house fusion combined with deep basslines and dark haunting vocals. As a label, we’re excited to be able to put out a proper Garage record and for a producer so young to make something this accomplished sop early in their career, bodes very well for the future.

If you ask me, Martyn is a don is this game and always will be, one of the most hypnotic and considered sets I have ever heard was when I saw him play at Deviation a few years ago. You didn’t need to be taking anything to get high to that. He has an evolving sound which, over the last 4 or 5 years, has spanned through most sub genres of bass music with his latest single seemingly a culmination of all of his previous work. ‘Viper‘ has got big crunchy cords reminiscent of early 2000′s D&B or early Distance sounding dubstep, all set upon a backdrop of spaced out rave sounds. The ‘London Arches Edit‘ is actually the better version of the two, a little more palatable and very ravey. ‘Masks‘ is an extension of the sounds form the album ‘Great Lengths‘, heavy 2-Step influenced, dancle floor house music. Good stuff, have a listen.
Two pioneers from the UK underground – Steve Gurley and Zed Bias combine with devastating effect. Keysound have come up with the goods in spectacular fashion here. The track references the sounds that earn’t them their respective statuses, while at the same time sounding fresh. Meanwhile on the flip, Blackdown’s ‘Debt Repaid’ remix points firmly to the future. Massive.
This guy iO cropped up on our radar recently. To start off with there’s a great 2-step mix you can download. Keep going though and he has some tight productions, Patchwork being my favourite. One to watch…
Coming off the back off a sustained period of acclaim as one half of Instramental, Damon Kirkham‘s first solo material as Jon Convex debuts on the legendary Martyn‘s label 3024 with a sound that strikes off in a direction entirely of its own. I am really digging this mix of sounds and styles, this is definitely the work of a well trained ear and an obviously talented producer. It has so many layers to it, dark techno fused with UK 2-Step, plus a pinch of house, much like the work of later Instrumental productions. Can’t wait to see where this goes and what Jon Convex follows this up with.
WOW. This is the kind of beat that starts fights on the dancefloor. Big Up EL-B. This is the VIP with Eskiboy touching mic, I hope someone does a 20 minute version with all the top MC’s going in, Stageshowstyle.
After Ouzo bought Mahni to our attention last month – we’ve been keeping an eye on thier soundcloud. He hit us up to say he was giving this track away fro free. Check it out…
I don’t know much about Neat, I’m assuming it’s not MC NEAT, but I do know about Submerse, one of the front runners in new garage. ‘Close‘ is a great vocal track which lends itself to a more dubby version of 2-Step with great synths. For once, i’m glad to say, it is not about the Falty DL remix, the original is hands down the best track on the single, oozing with energy and all the right ingredients to be a dance floor smasher. Summer time vibes fo sho.
I expect you will have heard these already, such is the speed at which things move these days. But if you’ve been lying under a rock for the past 24 hours, last night Kode 9 previewed two tracks from Burial’s forthcoming Hyperdub release. Still Burial, still relevant.
This is the kind of Footwork I could get down to! Leeds based producer Jamie Grind has found a balance between the hectic, sometimes insane genre that took everyone by storm last year, and the more familiar 2-Step/House sound we are accustomed to hearing on a daily here in the UK and created a very tight EP. It was only a matter of time before the UK took Juke/Footwork and re-hashed it into something that fits with what are already doing here, there may be other examples of this that I am unaware of, but it seems to me that Jamie Grind is right on the money. Great stuff and something I am looking forward to hearing a lot more of. The ‘Footwork EP‘ also features Hackman on one of the tracks, ‘Saw The Light‘, which is a strong look. Is a new wave of UK Footwork producers just around the corner? Probably…
Shortly after posting one of Duffstep’s latest tracks it came to light that he also has a very solid mix doing the rounds in the shape of a podcast for San Francisco’s Big Up magazine. Featuring tracks from the likes of Lone, Pariah, Falty DL and many more Duffstep’s mix more than adequately shines a light on the steppy tech future sounds of now. Particularly tickling me sweet is the inclusion of ‘Pineapple Crush’ by Lone. Solidly referencing the first era of rave with it’s acid splashes and hip-house tinges ‘Pineapple Crush’ sits in this mix like it’s zesty name suggests it might – up front and attention seeking.
