This EP is about to absolutely cement Distinct Motive’s position in the Dubstep scene as a producer who can create so much vibe while keeping things simple and straight to the point. “Radar” was one of the picks of Outlook Festival 2018. Hearing Mala drop this track in every set and and watching the crowd go completely nuts (instant rewind) was such a treat. All the tracks on this release have a proven record at causing a large amount of damage at the rave.
Featuring remixes from Glume & Phossa, JFO, MOREOFUS and Dakun, Kotei’s ‘ICHI’ gets a 4-time revamp, creating a truly diverse 5-track EP, fit for the club or at home.
Printed on a 12 inch 2-colour medium weight plate in a matt sleeve. Purchase includes an A3 poster adaptation of the EP cover along with our own adhesive sticker.
Josi Devil, aka JD, the enigmatic producer behind the Rules of the dance remix featured on Kahn and Neek’s fabric mix - returns with a double 12” and two absolute melters. DigiDub has been on dubplate for a few years doing the rounds with the likes of L U C Y, Commodo & Sir Hiss while Mistakes is a different beast and possibly the coldest release on Scrub a Dub to date.
Burke is a producer & DJ from Ireland residing in the UK since 2015. He started working at Idle Hands record store in 2016. Tracks from Burke have been supported by the Bandulu Gang (Kahn, Neek, Boofy & Hi5Ghost), Compa, Trends, Spooky, J:Kenzo, Sicaria Sound and many more. The aforementioned tracks have also featured on radios such as BBC 1xtra, RTE, Rinse, Resonance FM, Pyro Radio, Reprezent, Mode FM and many more.
Neither Scratcha DVA, nor any of the tracks on this release, really need an introduction. Grime fans will instantly recognise these legendary tunes from radio, raves and mixtapes.
The next IFSXXX white label, vinyl-only is here. For the second instalment, Infernal Sounds welcome Bristol based duo, DE-TÜ to the platter and dish up a weighty two-tracker ready to rattle the rib-cages far and wide. The duo have been making seismic waves the past couple years, having already released on IFS' main catalogue, alongside a killer EP on White Peach, it's only fitting they deliver yet another top drawer EP for this series.
IFSXXX001 from Sir Hiss managed to sell 500 copies in 30 minutes, with the follow-up 500 copies also selling out within days. So if that's anything to go by, this will be snapped up in quick fashion. With the release already receiving support from Mala, Sicaria Sound, Kahn & Neek, Bukkha, among many more, it's a solid addition to any record bag.
As an undisputed heavyweight and one of the leading figures within the electronic music scene, Icicle's recognized as a highly respected producer - among other ventures through steaming releases via Hospital Records, Critical Music and Shogun Audio. Propelling his technically advanced production style into the 140 BPM spectrum, it's a sight to behold as DJ Youngsta reveals the next ace up his sleeve. The UK-based veteran conveys his awe-inspiring take on Dubstep with four tracks on a twelve-inch platter - vehemently battle-tested as a dubplate and ready to off at a dance floor near you.
We are immersed in dense, granular fog. 'Raising The Dead' begins the ritual with hypnotism and anxious unrest. Eerie lead melodies lure listeners onwards as relentless percussion takes hold. Rigorously increasing the intensity with mesmeric style to the ruthless beat of the drums - fragmented vocals flicker through the mist. As ethereal spheres seem to vacate, a disturbed melody guides a path into the low-frequency behemoth that is 'Nt'. Driven by its intense groove and sonorous sub-bass emissions, the erratic lead staccato does the rest to keep us fiercely bouncing to Icicle's percussive pulse.
As if it could get any hotter, we flip to a promising B-Side only to be proven wrong twice. Initiating the ceremony with 'Shout Me' - haunting female choirs entrance amidst the thunderous sense of anticipation. Evolving from intricate breaks to straight shut-down maneuvers without skipping a beat. In a final, fulminant outburst, 'Noughties Riddim' goes on to wrap up the masterpiece in a most mischievous fashion. Cutting through the noise, profoundly satisfying mid-range distortion surges flare up in the distance, while continuous pressure continues to evoke cries for rewinds.
Dalek One needs zero introduction to the trained EA ear having branded his sound into the foundations with not 1 but 2 digital releases! Since then Dalek One has gone on to gain support and releases from a plato of scene staples such as Truth, Caspa and Hatcha. His tracks have seen plays from a multitude of scene name brands.
We’ve been fans of Samba for a few years now and have been following his progress as he’s risen to become one of the most sought after producers in the Dubstep scene today. When Sam sent us this EP, we were instantly blown away by the music. Title track “Kings” has become a huge dubplate within the scene with support from dons like Commodo and Mala. To us the quite melodic 808 bassline harks back to early Good Looking records vibes, while the crisp fresh production and drumwork firmly places this release in 2019.
Bukez Finezt VIP's his already incredible Headache into a bonafied skanker that's just begging for a reload everywhere it'll drop. He gives the Headache rhythm such a treatment. Adding layers and layers of dubwise sounds only to switch back into that originial flow we all know and love. One of Bukez Finezt's most anticipated tracks of the moment.
Next Level is literally the next level after Subway Recordings quit doing releases.
Much like a slew of other iconic DEEP MEDi plates, this one has been dominating the dance, the airwaves and the OG forums for a long while, as dedicated fans drink in Commmodo's killer combination of brain rattling bass and delicate melodic motifs.
The Belgian record label returns to Bristol for volume number three in their vinyl series. Back in 2016, dubstep champion Rygby was signed to DUPLOC for his very first official release, pioneering in the field of spooky distorted low frequencies. His most recent of the several appearances on the label has been the digital DUPLOC022 outing through which he truly developed a unique sound. Now he proudly contributes to the label's brand new DUPPLATES series with an impressive cohesive collection of probably his hottest material till date. DUPLOCv003 is all about catchy melodies, boiling vibes and heavyweight sub bass pressure.
Navy Cut label boss J.Sparrow starts off 2019 with a weighty 2-sided 12" vinyl release which is a taster of the year to come.
Dissonance is a retrospective take on elements of lo-fidelity, breaks, jazz and hip hop sounds resulting in "pure banger business."
The B side is a remix of Jonah Freed's "Guns", originally released through Czech imprint Harmless Youth. A trap-grime-dubstep fusion, featuring the lyrical might of one of the UK's most talented MC's - Rider Shafique. "Step aside watch the ride INI come correct. Place your bets cos every time I make a shot it must connect. You feel like you know me but you no see nuttin yet!"... setting the scene for the style and vibe of the track.
In the first half of 2019, J.Sparrow is set to release his second solo album #00000365 on DEEP MEDi, and further remixes for Distinct Motive, Alter Echo & E3, Danny T & Tradesman, and Fiend.
Splitting his time between the studio and the decks, steadily solidifying his reputation as an authoritative force in electronic music.

With life sometimes getting in the way, we’re no longer rushing out releases to tight deadlines or expected timeframes, but we continue to always be sticklers for doing things our own way, in our own time. It's been an eventual journey, but we're hoping the almost year-long wait for the follow-up to our debut physical release is worth it. We've already got 003 almost ready for mastering, so the next one won't take as long...
“We're back. We've got another record for you and, we think, FKOFv002 is full of wall-to-wall bangers. Sheffield's finest, Dark Harmonics, are rejoining the fold (after their heavyweight FKOFd18 way back in 2015), alongside Subaltern Records' bossman Otz, who we welcome to the family for his debut release. Their collab, the mighty ‘Voidwalker’, has been doing the rounds for a hot minute, with support from a number of our sound's champion selectors. It's monstrous. The A-side wraps with 'F*cking Spiders'. One listen of its second drop and we knew it was for us. Absolute goosebump material.
"You know who the legendary J:Kenzo is, and we're proper proud to have him also joining the FKOF family with his sublime remix that leads the B-side. Beau at Ten Eight Seven has, once again, tweaked the tunes to perfection with his awesome mastering effort. We're really pleased with FKOFv002, and we hope you are too..."

Once again Sa Bat' Machines invites you to a travel...
A very musical EP here offering some psychedelic synths meeting up with saxophones with Seven, the first tune... Second track invites you to a more Folktronic dubstep trip, a bit in the STEPPAS Records spirit.
The flip opens with a pure Dub groover, sweet and bassy, offering a tune at the frontier to be a powerful riddim... The EP finishes on a short Klez track, electroswing killer!
