Fau & Deam – Life Act EP
US label Dubporn have been impressing of late and the recent Imaginary Friend and Innana releases showed a label with an ear for new talent. The latest to join their roster are Fau & Deam, a new name but one that’s sure to be making it’s mark in 2012. Across the EP’s six tracks, elements [...]

Edinburgh’s Profisee has a history of quality beats with the Scotland Yard Emcees, The Great Ezcape and guest vocal work for the likes of Neil Landstrumm and Hexstatic.

Seth steps into the Labs
Italian producer Seth first came to our attention in November when we heard his “Cloud Gazing” EP on Skint Records offshoot Under 5′s. Composed of a variety of cross genre sounds it was an excellent debut which was also accompanied by an excellent video. Fast forward a couple of months and we have managed to [...]
Ifan Dafydd – Treehouse / To Me
Ifan Dafydd looks likely to force his way to the front of a busy pack following a couple of rather huge bootleg remixes last year and dj support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jamie XX and Sinden and this hugely impressive 12″ on Push and Run. His smokey garage tinged beats have rightly been [...]

Skream – Freeizm History – free downloads
Last Christmas, instead of giving you his heart, Skream delivered the goody bag that was “The Freeizm Album” (you can also still grab Vol 1 and Vols 2 & 3). This year he donned his Santa hat again to offer up a lesson in the history of dubstep. Digging into his hard drive he’s zipped [...]
Imaginary Friend – Dark Matter
Greek producer Imaginary Friend is a new name on me, his debut album “Dark Matter” however has swiftly placed him into the list of “ones to watch for 2012″. Over the 11 tracks contained within, the producer showcases his talent to take in elements of house, techno, dubstep and dark electronica and spin them into [...]
