Clarity’s first solo release on UVB-76 Music arrives in the form of a highly polished, firm footed quartet. Four grounded, heavyweight churners that sit proudly at the core of relevant Drum & Bass: Torsion, Stateless and Taking Effect.Across the three original compositions Clarity commands the frequencies of the contemporary breakbeat form. Completing the circle is Clarity’s remix of label mate Overlook’s All of Them Witches, an interpretive reimaging of an already bona- fide modern classic; poise, precision and execution.

Following on from last release's b-boy junglist outings, this time the ill behaviour comes in the form of two reggae-tinged Amen rollers, bringing new meaning to the word "delicious".
Alright, maybe he does warrant a bit more than that. Myor boss Coco Bryce returns to his self- proclaimed "second home" at 7th Storey Projects with two new bangers, something of a natural sequel to the much-loved Gunna released on 7th Storey in the form of a cheeky little 10" in 2019.
On the A side you'll find 'My Girl' - a roughneck breakbeat ride but with sweet and soulful vocals and Summery synth-lines smoothing out a bit of the roughness - a typical Coco workout, and that is by no means a bad thing!
On the B is U Can C In There, a gorgeous roller - just listen, the music speaks for itself!
Mastered & cut by Beau Thomas, pressed at Record Industry and presented on Coke Bottle Green vinyl - fancy ;-)
The next release is a collaborative EP by Eusebeia from which we already released two digital EP`s in the past. Together with Atiq from The Netherlands and UK`s Arlow they created four atmospherical Jungle bangers.
The Transfiguration EP has a distinctive deep meditative vibe and approach to sound. The first two tracks “Through The Motions” and the title track “Transfiguration” written together with Atiq burrow deep into the subconscious and ascend into the universe within itself.
The third track 'Matter' is made in collaboration with Arlow and hits the darker tip, where low bass and seemingly alienated sounds form the more breaking backbone of this existential excursion.
The 4th track of the EP is called “Anti Repressant” and serves as a beautiful closing track of this “Healing through Sound” trip of a record.
Eusebeia's pristine mixing fuses a striking array of audible oddities and emotions, from feelings of isolation and uncertainty to feelings of oneness and purpose - which makes this both a wondrous and delicate release on Mindtrick Records.
A side kicks off with a beautifully crafted remix of a classic 1995 Foul Play track that will take you on a journey, just close your eyes and let the music do the rest. On the flip is a track called Amazon, lovely pads with breaks and sounds from the Amazon jungle before the switch in a .
This is the 1st release of a series of tracks across all genres by Stretch & Enjoy and we hope you like. We would like to thank John from Foul Play for the blessing as this was a personal tune for the Last Ronin family to rework a beau blood splattered over crystal clear 10″ vinyl from the Shaolin temple.
Tim Reaper is back on Repertoire - and he's brought a few mates along.
The EP starts at a blistering pace with the beefed up VIP mix of his 2016 single"Lanterns", whilst label boss Law alongside Kola Nut join forces with Tim for the lush roll out "Unknown Future".
Continuing Repertoire's rich tradition of working with Canadian artists, Montreal's Comfort Zone brings his unique melodic stylings to the laid back "Greenscreen", before Tim closes proceedings on the same note as it started with the chopped up amenage of the Apocalypse Now sampling "Sunrise".
Om Unit brings his ‘Mahakala’ triology to a triumphant close with 2 more cuts of upfront breakbeat science.
First up, a VIP of ‘Tomahawk’ (from Mahakala02) taking the already innovative approach of sound design and layering of the original into a pure sound system roller, sounding not unlike a 1995 jump up classic, but with a much more darker, almost technoid edge that will have even a hardened soundboy gritting his teeth.
Following is ‘Blue’, a long-form jazzier piece with melancholic echoes of the past that would have sat well on labels like Nexus/Good Looking in the 90’s, complete with live-sounding and consistently shifting break chops that are striking but inflected with subtlety throughout that are both restless but engaging. Both cuts are sure to do damage on the dance floor and bring this series to close with a bang!
With Quarter To Quarter, Amsterdam-based record label The North Quarter delivers its first compilation album: a manifesto and its most ambitious project to date.
The 14 track project features prominent vocalists IAMDDB and Azekel, Bass Music legends Total Science and Break and all the core artists that have made Lenzman’s boutique label the breath of fresh air it is today.
The North Quarter is a collective of artists from around the globe, brought together through a shared love for the authentic. The imprint has become a household name in just a short space of time through ambitious and highly detailed artist projects. With Quarter to Quarter, a compilation of cutting edge Drum & Bass music, the label further solidifies its reputation and unique vision.
Never doing things the fast and easy way, the album was put together and nurtured by A&R and founder Lenzman over the course of 18 months.
Lenzman explains: “Way back when I first got into music, I wanted to share that magic with others. Today that same urge still endures within me. With this album I've tried to bring together a group of artists with whom I have shared values, who have never been brought together in this way, and create a timeless statement of intent.

The Dragonforce EP could be the best work yet to emerge from the studios of Laurence Reading aka Halogenix. Flipping from the Japanese comic book influence of the title track to the beautiful future soul of Independent is something not many other producers are capable of. Tekina brings even more ingenuity with a delicate light/dark fusion whilst Reminisce is awash with warmth and ethereal feels. An essential EP.
These are unreleased tracks by S. McCutcheon (Syko) & R. Haigh (Omni-Trio) under the name 'Persons Unknown'. These group of artists collaborated on a number of tracks which were released on the Candidate Records label (a sublabel of Rob’s in-house label, Parliament Music). However, there were a number of unfinished, archived and VIP remixed tracks that are now scheduled for release on Blueskinbadger Records”
Rave had become hardcore – from which a strand called breakbeat house developed. This morphed into breakbeat techno, which became jungle techno. And I turned around to find myself part of a movement that was now known as drum & bass. This further splintered into (labeled by journalists) jump-up and “intelligent drum & bass,” darkcore, artcore, and so on. But the point was that it was always pushing forward; trying out new ideas, never settling on one definable style...” - Rob Haigh
This 4 Track EP with 3 Unreleased VIP mixes of the original tracks and 1 extra unreleased track from 93. Written and Produced by S. McCutcheon (Syko) & R. Haigh (Omni-Trio) under the name 'Persons Unknown'. These group of artists collaborated on a number of tracks which were released on the Candidate Records label (a sublabel of Rob’s in-house label, Parliament Music). However, there were a number of unfinished, archived and VIP remixed tracks that are now scheduled for release on Blueskinbadger Records.
“ One day in early 91 a customer (Syko) came into my shop and played me a rave tune that he had produced on an Amiga. I was so impressed that I offered to put it out even though I didn’t have a label at that time. I then started to fuse my own existing ideas with the new possibilities of sequencing and sampling. Omni Trio grew out of this experimentation, around this time the Parliament Label was born...” - Rob Haigh
