Arriving at the height of the antipodean summer, after the traditional series of short delays – and where would we be without delay lets face it – we here Echo Chamber Sound and Run It Red are proud to present the vinyl component of our first compilation LP. Featuring 9 tunes across two plates, and including exclusive tunes from from Bukkha and LQ, as well as a showstopping remix from RSD and star turns from X-Nation Pugilist & Tamen, this is our most ambitious statement to date, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed pulling it all together.
These tunes have all been built by consummate professionals, they have been hand picked, and then tested within an inch of their life to the extent that we are entirely happy that every last one of them is a weighty weapon that will move the absolute maximum amount of air possible. We hope you play these as loud as is legally possible (if not a little louder), to a crowd of your friends and neighbours dancing in the sun, on well-loved handbuilt wooden soundsystem the way nature intended it.
DJ support from J Kenzo, RSD, Bun Zero, Bukkha, Duburban, Tradesman, LQ, Jungle Fari and more.
After vocal-led 12”s featuring the likes of Razor and Sikka Rymes, Low End Activist pivots back towards purely instrumental territory for further explorations in the hybridised hardcore sphere. There’s an over-arching air of introspection to the five tracks assembled here, as LEA’s signature bass ructions and jagged, roughly-hewn drums offset with a widescreen line in melancholia.
From tweaked out hi-vis synth wobbles to dust-encrusted soundtrack loops, crushing percussive textures to the finest slithers of rhythm, this is densely packed, sample heavy tackle pulling in multiple directions in any one bar. The craft behind each piece is tangible, yet for all the studio flex it’s the ambiguous nature of the melodic and atmospheric material which deepens the impact of the music. Continuing an approach displayed on the earlier Engineers Origins 12”, LEA ignores formalised structure to instead explore the lie of each track in a non-linear fashion as though they were a planetoid pockmarked with bass craters and lit by irregular solar flares. Consider LEA004 an astral package holiday to five distinct destinations without an itinerary stifling the experience.
The always impressive Mesck makes his DDD debut with the Terror Management EP. Stepping straight into uncertain future realities, Mesck's beats deliver just the right amount of bite, crunch and distortion, balanced with the heaviest bass weight known to cyber space. Anyone familiar with sets from the DDD crew will already be familiar with these tunes, which we have been itching to sneak out of Mesck's tightly-guarded vault.
It’s been a pretty eventful year for FKOF Records, but we’re delighted to be ending it with a bang and by welcoming two brand artists to the imprint. We’ve been long-time fans of Oddkut and Abstrakt Sonance and when we discovered they’d been on the buttons together we knew it was material we wanted to home...
The EOWLTD 10" series kicks off with the Odysseys EP by Holloway. Launched as a project to showcase the label's more genre centred tastes, the south London based DJ & Producer pulls no punches when it comes to the imprints first offering.
Following recent releases on Bluff Records, Time Is Now and INSTINCT, Holloway debuts his first 140 project. Sounding fresh out the mid-naughties, expect club rattling subs in the form of stripped-back Dubstep pressure. The EP showcases an elating, garage-influenced, FWD-thinking sound somehow nostalgic and yet also completely new.
The record opens with ‘Chat Bad’. With Holloway's characteristic low-end mechanics providing a base layer for the syncopated percussive workout that sits on top. The dark stabs and other melodic elements are guaranteed to turn heads in the dance.
On the flip side. ‘Levitate’ kicks off with a hypnotic, heads-down mood with deep subs and dubbed-out vocals. At the switch-up Holloway’s idiosyncratic basslines are introduced for those gun-finger, energetic moments in the club.
A5 Riso printed (on premium) insert included with each record.
Monty presents his debut album 'Hit The Lights' on 1985 Music. Flowing between sub-genres, this 16 track long-player showcases his variety and meticulous attention to detail. Featuring heavyweight collaborations with PAV4N, Strategy, Chimpo, Redeyes, and fellow label comrades Visages.
“If you deep listen to the album and take the time, you'll notice that every track is connected to each other, I really enjoy albums like this, tells more of a story as if the transitions are like turning a page in a book, or chapters. It was a challenge to do but worth it in the end.
The album was built from everything I love and learned in the last 10 years about bass music.” Monty

Italian bass collective D-Operation Drop marks their debut on Dub-Stuy Records with “Pon Pause SP”, a heavyweight 12”single featuring legendary singer Al Campbell. Formed in 2010, the six members of D-Operation Drop have a wide range of experience and production styles, releasing on various labels such as ZamZam, Moonshine and Lioncharge. For their first collaboration with Dub-Stuy, they connected with the great Al Campbell, a singer with a storied career working with Studio One, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s Black Ark, and more. Together, they crafted a modern steppers anthem that seamlessly connects old and new.
Through four different versions, D-Operation Drop brings the intensity on this 12” to a fever pitch. With a haunting intro, woozy, alternately pitched snares, and driving aggressive bass and sub-bass hits tempered with a deft flute melody, this tune is strictly business, Steppers style. Campbell’s instantly recognizable voice and powerful chanting anchors the brawny drumbeat while calling for unification and strength in the face of hate and ignorance, charging this track with justice and sovereignty. On the B Side, D-Operation Drop calls upon trumpeter Vale and talented melodica player Armin - both regular collaborators - for two righteous instrumental cuts that place the militant, compelling bass rhythm front and center.
Watch your subs. Pon Pause is a “last tune” worthy track that will surely resonate on sound systems worldwide and get the massive skanking!

Calgary, AB's Boneless is back again following a pair of releases on Gourmet Beats and most recently Off-Switch Audio, featuring that low slung, classic era yet forward thinking production we all know from the great many appearances his tunes have made out live on dub and on mixes from the sort-of aformentioned Joe Nice, J;Kenzo and a boatload of others.
We don't skip cat numbers around here. It was predestined that ENiGMA Dubz would appear on the DUPLOC050 milestone release. The Birmingham based dubstep don has been working with us since literally the first day of the YouTube channel. Almost 10 years later ENiGMA Dubz is a well established artist and is regularly featured on his home labels DUPLOC, Deep Dark & Dangerous as well as his very own imprint Morii Records.
Where "40 Fathoms" and "Silverback" are sound system shellers, "Earth Giants" runs on a heavier vibe while the digital bonus track "Too Close To The Sun" is a melodious masterpiece. All by all his DUPLOC050 shows how strongly versatile ENiGMA Dubz' sound is.
