Artist: June Miller Label: Horizons Music Genre: Drum & Bass (Deep, Liquid)

DEEP AND EXPRESSIVE DRUM & BASS. A new artist for us showcases the depth and expansion our favourite style of electronic music can create. Beautiful elements float over the sub bass of champions while a film vocal that sounds like some Marlon Brandon business. We love this!

Artist: Gangsta Fun Label: BOD Recordings Genre: Drum & Bass (Jump Up)

SECRET WEAPON JUMP UP CREW! New label and new artist for us but boy does this one bang! Rising synth so sharp that no rave will ignore the drop. Huge doom laden vocals and orchestration compound the ferocious nature while that synth does it's job of pranging out the dance. HANDLE WITH CARE!

Artist: Chew Lay Label: Junction 11 Records Genre: Drum & Bass (Jump Up)

REWIND AT JUNCTION 11! We've been supporting this rude boy label since it launched a couple years back and we're happy to see the sound and production quality ever evolving. Chew Lay delivers a punishing hard assault that's a cut above the usual jump up we see. Shades of D*Minds and Grooverider style. More please bad boy!

CLASSIC SOUL SAMPLE! No wonder Holland's Fokuz gang left it til March to release their first cut on the year.

FOUR TRACK EP SO CHECK THEM ALL!

Artist: Hoax and Shredder Label: Shredded Beatz Genre: Drum & Bass (Jump Up)

SHREDDER & HOAX KEEP IT MEAN! Shredder has been appearing on these pages quite a lot recently so it's no surprise his collab with rising star Hoax ram raids its way here. Low slung and meaner than hell, this is a moody one for the hats and hoods crew on road. Check another banger from TRON on the flip. Dangerous!

Artist: Mutt Label: Inside Genre: Drum & Bass (Jump Up, Liquid)

MUTT MAKES LIQUID EXCELLENCE! Oh yeah this is some top table liquid drum & bass. Slick jazzed up elements and huge sub bass make this a boxy roller to deftly sit in liquid and jump up sets. Mutt knows his business and you can rely on this to work the party big time! GOODBYE!

Artist: Chook Label: Full Force Recordings Genre: Drum & Bass (Techstep)

European drum and bass producer Chook keeps it stripped and simple as this city sound scape rolls like thunder over the horizon. Beats deftly skip on this super produced mind melt. Two tracks here with the flip giving us some metal influences too! Recommended!
