Infernal Sounds bring their digital series to life with this spicy VA compilation, snipping four of the standout tracks from their first four EP's. The VA presents tracks from all over the world, spanning from Japan to the US, back home to Bristol and bouncing to Barcelona. Karnage, 'Spirit Bomb' kicks things off by slicing and dicing you with mid-range blades and tearing you apart with the heavy trap-style low-end ruckus. Switching things up completely on the A2 is Kodama with the wonderful 'Clear Your Head', entangling you in the beautiful melodies and uplifting mainframe, before Chief Kaya spins you all the way back to '06 on 'Ma'at'. The track brings about an essence of the old-school and a premium beat that you need to feel on a soundsystem. Finally, Khanum drops you in with and takes you under with 'Bun Politician', a strong message for the times, and a forceful track at that.
The tracks on this EP have had heavy support from the likes of Truth, N-type, BunZer0, Sicaria Sound, Deep Tempo, Hamdi and many more.
Following acclaimed releases on Planet Mu, Sneaker Social Club and his own imprint Raw Basics, Anthoney Hart returns with three contemporary rhythm centred rollers under his Basic Rhythm alias.
Wonked out percussion and vocal accents undulate over distorted kicks, subtly building tension in the EP title track “Pepper”.
On the flip, “3am On The Corner” takes things down tempo with broken drums and moody pads accompanied with a haunting sax melody. This eclectic release concludes with “Moonlight Flit” bringing heavy hitting percussive UK Funky energy over a deep pitching sub.
As with most other releases from the underground-at-all-costs Chicago based Mindinfluence Musicworks family, "Theories...Vol. 3 was for the most part only available over the weekend of Movement in Detroit in the spring of 2018. This record was released as the interest in SGP/Dark Matrix had reached a fever over the years since their most prolific output on losonofono, Kanzleramt, Soul Furic, DNH and countless others between the 90's and late 00's, and was intended as a message to let the world know that MiM still existed, and that more was to come.
Always under the surface, this release served as a placeholder to express some of the works left unheard in the years between their peak and resurfacing. with losonofono being their original home it seemed the most fitting, and with the label and artists' connection to the city of Detroit it seemed best to unveil the offering on the sneak tip as part of a losonofono label showcase event, along with a small amount being offered and quickly snatched up at pop up stores in Submerge and the usual hallowed haunts of Hello Records, Detroit Threads, and People's records. None of the copies dropped around survived the weekend on store shelves, with each making their way into crates of locals or visitors for the annual pilgrimage to the mecca of House and Techno.
After that, the records were stored, future plans were made, but time was limited. After a while releases from SGP/Dark Matrix emerged on Childhood intelligence, Freerange, Moods and Grooves and others. Then the main proponent of the group suddenly passed on. With that even more of a renewed interest in him and his works has developed, most recently with compilation appearances courtesy of Shante Celeste, more releases on Freerange and a slew of others yet to come. Time will tell on that. Until then, this is the last volume of the "Theories" series on losonofono. Hand Stamped, Numbered and embossed.

Demi Riquísimo follows his superb ‘Better Days’ VA with a hefty six-track remix EP on his ever- evolving Semi Delicious record label. Not surprisingly, Demi garners reworks from some of the hottest names in the underground circuit at the minute, each reinventing his truly original dancefloor sounds with their own unique tinge.
Kassian come screaming in with a super-chuggin’ up-tempo revamp on ’54 Reasons’. Nip-tuck- tight 4x4 house groove with a wonky, explorative synth bassline that marries the soft, undulating synth pads and sensual vocal snippets harmoniously. T. Jacques offers up his atypical rolling acid- house. Blending trance-like tones with buckets of organic drum machines and M1 Organ stabs that just never get old.
The cheeky chaps Jive Talk present a remix unlike any other, fusing boogie-funk and Greg Wilson style electro with naked bassline squelches and gurn-worthy pads primed for the chill-out room. Black Loops takes his signature sound to ‘Certified’, while swapping out his usual deep-house sound for some raw UK 2-step beats.
‘Machine Tagine’ gets a racing-rework from Manuel Darquart, primed with 606 hi-hats and endlessly modulating FM basslines for this extremely hard-hitting remix. Finally, Holding Hands regular Baby Rollén whips up some 90’s breakbeat across ‘Spice Rack’, allowing Demi’s immaculate hook-writing to shine through in his mix.
No stranger to making sick beats in their own right, Lampa and Senncoria have teamed up to deliver 5 slices of absolute sublime music for Deep, Dark & Dangerous.
We simply had to give this release the vinyl treatment! The EP traverses the landscape of sound design from middle eastern inspired melodics, crunchy gnarly basses, triplet rollers to chill vibes, it's a diverse yet cohesive release full of high notes.
This record is a momentous occasion for me as it is the first release that I have signed from a member of my production tutorial website. This is something I was quietly hoping would come to pass when I started the project but I never knew if it would actually happen. Liebus was sending me tracks to critique as part of a feature on the site and after a batch of them came in that I not only didn’t have any critique for but actually I wanted to ask him how he made them instead, I knew I was onto a winner. I can’t quite believe this is his first release as the tracks sound so mature and incredibly produced but I was never going to think twice about putting them out.
All five tracks are subby, drummy, mind bending workouts from start to finish. Proper cavernous vibes with a dose of potentially too strong an LSD trip mixed in for good measure. Not for the faint hearted...
OK enough of my blather. Go and listen to the damn things yourself and decide if you like them, rather than trying to work it out from reading a bloody press release you weirdos.
All four tracks are produced and sculpted for the club. They want big sound systems and dark rooms.
Close your eyes, hold hands and experience transcendental space flight...
Bristol DJ and producer Notion releases his highly-anticipated project, Outsider. The 8-track project is a showcase of 18 months of hard work, self-reflection, doubt, anxiety, excitement and all the other things that go into a project like this. Marking a new chapter in his creative output, Outsider is a reflection of Notion’s evolution as an artist, spanning across bassline, UK Garage, drum and bass, jungle and more.
One of the most prominent names of the new generation UK club scene, Notion is setting standards as an outsider in the landscape of bass music. In the last few years he has proved himself to be an independent, boundary-pushing artist of serious intent, not only through his approach to genre-blurring DJ sets and production, but through community spirited collaboration and system- defying success.
Tapping into a sound he is quickly making his own, Outsider finds Notion at his bold and brilliant best.

Sub Signals Vol.2 is a deep dive into underground bass, guided by artist and producer Gaudi. Featuring predominantly unreleased originals and versions by some of the biggest names in the worldwide dub collective, it intricately combines analogue elements with digital grooves to stunning effect.
Much more than just a compilation, the Sub Signals series is a celebration of the evolution of the sound of dub, from its original roots in reggae to its fusion with a much wider spectrum of sounds and influences. Gaudi curated the first volume back in 2006 for the cult Canadian label Interchill, sourcing tracks and dubs from High Tone, Zion Train, Manasseh, Almamegretta, Noiseshaper, Creation Rebel, Greg Hunter, Dubadelic and more.
15 years on, Gaudi has created the second volume, blending contributions by established reggae names Steel Pulse, Dennis Bovell and African Head Charge with next generation dub producers Alpha Steppa, Radikal Guru and Paolo Baldini Dubfiles, headline acts Groove Armada, Dub FX and The Orb with underground artists Deadbeat, Pitch Black and SUBSET, to create a seamless 75 minute mix. “With Volume 2, I wanted to create a deep vibrational experience by shaping an aural trajectory that encompassed the many aspects of dub and its related sub-frequencies. To achieve my goal, I reached out to the artists I regularly work with to ask for contributions, in some cases digging in their archives to find what I was looking for.”
As a solo artist, Gaudi has recorded over 20 albums, while as a producer he has hundreds of productions under his belt. He has worked with legends of the reggae and electronic music worlds including Lee "Scratch" Perry, Horace Andy, Dub Pistols, Hollie Cook, Youth, Mad Professor, Prince Fatty, Lamb, Trentemøller and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Dedicated to the sound of dub in its many forms, Gaudi’s latest excursion of his Sub Signals series is pure bass therapy, designed to excite your eardrums and worry your woofers.
We are honoured to work with Neil, who’s been an intrinsic part of the UK techno scene, especially with his devotion to experimentation within the genre! Sorry for the typo on the center label mate. This release came out of the thirst for something very much outside the box.. literally! Fun fact: Fang Man was inspired by a breakdown driver who Neil met the day before signing this EP with us. Maximum respect to all DJs who picked this one up for the club circuit or radio spins! Thanks to everyone who’s been supporting the label and bought the wax, we’ve got plenty more in the works.
ENiGMA Dubz has been pushing the boundaries of bass music since he burst onto the scene more than a decade ago. On new album Awakening his sonic palette has expanded to include liquid drum & bass, trap, downtempo electronica and future garage - alongside the dubstep with which he made his name. The result is an extraordinarily accomplished and rewarding album from an artist with unaccustomed talent and vision.
Released on Morii Records this spring, Awakening is a phenomenal accomplishment. Even if you think you know ENiGMA Dubz the sheer scope of musical ideas is likely to take your breath away. And if you’re a newcomer to his music, prepare to be blown away.
"Awakening is my fifth album under ENiGMA Dubz, and it’s a moment in my career to truly showcase where I’m at as a bass music producer."
Causa returns to Infernal Sounds for his debut solo release, after his previous two outings in collaboration with Shu (IFS003) and as part of the VA Crimson LP (IFS025). This time he presents two standout tracks, and a strong message to go alongside. With the world requiring more sustainability and less waste, this record has been created with the most measures possible to create a greener record - The 12" are made in a completely climate-neutral way, the material having been recycled, all unavoidable Co2 emissions have been offset, the cardboard/centre labels are either FSC approved or via recycled means, and even the artwork has been made with all of this in mind, using minimal ink work and a restricted colour pallet to limit the amount of waste throughout.
Not only that, but the two tracks on the 12" absolutely slap, radiating that trademark Causa swampy-sound. 'Haiy' kicks off the proceedings with a reverberating lead before plunging you into a frenzy of mid-range madness, and bass-curdling pressure. 'Untitled R V3 C' has been a long sought after dubplate, having done the rounds for a few years. It's a proper groovy, swinger, providing you with pure invigoration.
‘London-based Baroque Sunburst and Milanese XCPT serve DJs and systems a zinger in this collabo. Four urgent tracks, uptempo and half-beat, fearless and immersive, shades of techno, bulging basslines. Amidst the echoes of 90s dub, a whiff of industrial, post-punk shamelessness rears its head. Soundboys beware.’
Wraz is back on Deep, Dark, & Dangerous! "Annunaki" shows the incredible progression in Wraz's production skills over the last 2.5 years.
The Annunaki, ancient mesopotamian gods and goddesses (who some believe are actually extraterrestrial beings come to earth), are perfectly encapsulated by Wraz's fusion of "ancient" influences, phrygian harmony and organic orchestral textures with futuristic electronic sound design.
The 6 track EP is a detailed journey through the Wraz sound. Huge crunchy driving basslines, big kicks, clever percussion, overlaid with orchestral elements and progressions which are a nod to Wraz's formal training as a classical composer and conductor.
Sometimes the orchestral takes over completely, "Relics" could equally come from a film score as an EP on Deep, Dark & Dangerous... but instead of the end credits, the melodies cleverly lead into the next track on the release. Overall the EP is a ride you don't want to miss. Essential for listening, DJing and collecting.
Visages continue on their trajectory with this multi-tempo EP. Featuring lead single 'Lunar Eclipse' with see's Manchester's Strategy bounce his lyrics from 174 to 140, making it a DJ's favourite weapon. Title track 'Hagakure' calls on the help of fellow label mate Drone while Monty also joins in and adds his touch on 'Familiarity.'
Deep Heads in association with Dubstar records are proud to present the 2021 Remaster, Vinyl edition special, of the seminal album ‘My Sound’ by Dubstep legend Kromestar.
Originally released in 2009, with high critical acclaim, the record is no doubt one of Kromestar’s most celebrated and recognised albums he’s ever created. An absolutely timeless collection of music, the album was groundbreaking at the time and still holds up as a quality album from start to finish in 2021.
This is golden era Dubstep at its best and the Dub in the step is ever-present throughout. You can hear Kromestar poured his heart and soul into this album and understandable it’s such a well-known record.
The original pressing was a sell-out and a very sought-after record going for some very high prices on Discogs. This re-master and pressing are extremely limited edition and no doubt will be another total sell-out.
The whole vibe of this album was made for Vinyl and bass frequencies are cut to absolute perfection by the wizard known as Beau Thomas @ Ten Eight Seven. The re-mastering shines a light on these beautiful sub-low offerings and the pressing will be immaculate.
All pressed at MPO France & presented on 4x12 inch slabs of wax in a beautiful 4 pack sleeve. It's going to look insane! - Please note that we had to change the sleeve from Gatefold to 4 pack box set because we were advised the gatefold would not hold the 4 vinyls. Apologies to anyone expecting the gatefold.
On this special vinyl edition are 2 bonus tracks included on the last plate. First, there is ‘Jasmine’ which is another classic Kromestar recording that is VINYL ONLY. No digital on this. Then there is unreleased ’Shakras’ that is a brand new Kromestar production that is a fresh 2021 Krome piece of music that is simply incredible.
Fresh from turning heads on Lobster Theremin, Running Out Of Steam & Distant Horizons - Dublin based M4A4 comes correct for Hot Haus Recs with 4 UKG tinged burners.
Sekret Chadow returns with his flow to let us savor 4 powerful Funky Breaks tracks.
We start this EP with «The Secret Agent» a magnificent unreleased track in the purest 007 style… he is Bond…. Secret Bond. We enter the deepest neighborhoods of Miami and it seems that we are living a real chase movie with «Moonshine» a real madness what goes through the head of this artist.
We turn this record around and continue our journey to the golden state of California with "Don't be afraid" it's impossible not to rock the dance floor with this track breaker... Don't be afraid, show how you know how to dance
After a long journey through the musical world we ended up with this «Paco Paco» in Bollullos del Condado Paco... Paco... this track perhaps better known to many as "Tribalizmo" and recently released in digital format by the Elektroshok Records label, authentic Jamón de mono.
All this reflected in this beautiful 12″ vinyl where orange and yellow colors are mixed that give this great album the final touch. Since we started with 13Monkeys Records we have not stopped working to offer you the best of us, the best quality in our records and the greatest seriousness with our clients.
Thank you very much to everyone who helps us keep the flame alive, we are very happy that everyone can enjoy our music from anywhere in the world. If you have already made a purchase on our website, we would appreciate it if you could leave your assessment of each item purchased, this is of great help to us to continue improving.
Here it its, our 1st reference available under the name of 'Warriors Beat' On side A we find an authentic Warrior hymn performed by producer NuBreakz, he fuses a huge bassline nad melodies with nu skool references. In the inner section we find a new track by Mr. Jose Morales previosly in the group "Sigma 7" and entitled "Unfix Beat", where we will listen to a new and powerful track loaded with vowels, sequences and recognizable rhythm changes that have always characterized them.
On the B side we find a very danceable reference called “Silence” produced by Jan-B and the duo Beat Brokers, where the base breaks through atmospheres and sequences in the purest “Southern Break” style. To end this album and put the icing on the cake, in the inner section is the remix made by the American producer Johnny Cage to the classic track "Up To no Good", giving that american touch to a track that stands out for its acidic sequences and party rhythms that we have all enjoyed more than once and now we will have them in physical format.
