Johnny Beverton – Polymol
Translation Recordings recently impressed us with their brilliant “Without Borders” compilation and as the year draws to a close they’ve lined up an impressive release from new producer Johnny Beverton. The name’s a new one on me but he’s definitely impressed with his debut for the imprint. “Polymol” is a fairly stripped back slice of […]

Origin Unknown – Lunar Bass (Commix Remix)
This one’s been kicking around on dub for quite a while now but you’ll finally be able to get your mucky paws on it on the 24th of Jan 2011 when it lands on the 3rd installment of Ram’s “Nightlife” EPs. Culture Shock, Hive and Mind Vortex also pop up on the EP but it’s […]

Engineers Without Fears – Spiritual Aura
The term “intelligent drum n bass” isn’t one that really ever stuck with me, finding one form of music more intelligent than another being slightly baffling.

Due for release on the 20th of September on their own Product label, “Turn The Page” marks Craggz & Parallel’s return to the drum’n’bass scene after a two year hiatus – and it’s a sonic ear opener.

Noisia, Ed Rush & Optical – Brain Bucket
For many a drum n bass head, Ed Rush & Optical’s debut album “Wormhole” marked the pinnacle of the genre and in recent years, Noisia have pleased the very same fans with their top quality techy dnb beats. So this particular meeting of minds is sure to bring a smile to the face of such […]

Simon D – Late 90′s DnB mix
Time for another cracking mix from Phuturelabs regular Simon D. This time he’s put together a mix of late 90′s techy drum n bass goodness. Some absolutely amazing beats in there packed full of memories for me personally so I’m absolutely loving this! Top quality mixing as always from the D, so waste no more […]
