3 Feet Deep’s third release takes off with a dynamic 2 stepper by D-Elite, who cleverly samples dial tones to make a smooth pad and pays tribute to Pirates Radio & Tower Block Dreams on the vocals. Next, Pépé Elle, resident of the label, is here this time with his good friend CleS, forming a dynamic beat/bass combo.

Finally, B side brings Zero FG & Peaky Beats together, each delivering a spacey, atmospheric track of their own.

Fresh off the heels of our 2nd release - Blue Cookie EP - Gather Records are back with Binary Cuts; four heavyweight steppers guaranteed to dismember any dancefloor courtesy of the dynamic duo: On1 and ZeroFG.
A1 “Push” wastes no time getting into some heavyweight, early 00’s style, rib-shattering bass-weight, whilst “Knee Deep” builds the tension to the absolute maximum before letting loose in the fashion that these guys are all too good at. Over on the flip, the jittering technoid/proto-dubstep style rhythms of “Vexed” seems as though they’re almost designed to bring out the wiggiest moves from dancers with the B2 cut “Final Round” perfectly closing off the EP with skippy beats and spacey atmospherics perfectly primed for those late hour zoners.
These two talented guys have been right at the forefront of the garage resurgence delivering deep, dark rollers that never fail to make you give the gun finger salute and we're very honoured to have them on the label!

This track selection follows Ben’s Nightwork EP, released with YAM records in April. The title track ft Joe Armon Jones was selected by Mary Ann Hobbs on 6 music, and was praised by various selectors in the scene including Benji B, Moxie, Wajeed and many more. The south Londoner is not new to applying his distinctive sound to different genres, with this release ranging from Breaks to UK Garage to Acid House. Club music with no thrills. Simple and to the point. Ben's music has often led to the more ‘musical’ or ‘jazzy’ side to dance music. With past features with the likes of Nubya Garcia, Joe Armon Jones, as well as writing credits on Oscar Jerome's Gravitate which features on his album Breathe Deep.
However, don’t expect any jazzy collaborations on this one. There is a conscious sense of no bullshit energy throughout this release. With tracks leaning more towards the sounds of Mr G as opposed to Ben’s more (as he puts) ‘Spotify friendly’ sound. ONE YEAR DANCE is a homage to relationships ending, and clubs closing.
Lavonz is back on Dansu Discs. After his track on the latest Club Culture, one of the newest members of the Dansu Discs family returns with this 6 track EP packed with classic reissues and new material.

For DSD023, Bailey Ibbs serves up a killer with his ‘Gurl’ EP. The A side delivers 3 Bailey originals, each serving up a different mood best suited for the dance floor. Where the B side provides 3 completely different flips of ‘Gurl’ delivered to you by Groovy D, Denham Audio & AK Sports.
Coco Bryce summons his Chavinski alias for a bass-heavy mystical journey through garage, house and 2-step with a sublime 5 track EP for Distant Horizons.
Ocean-depth subs underpin this EP as a heavy dose of UKG is thread through the A-side with the club-ready tones of 'Baby' and 'Hit The Way' loading up the 2-step influence for some seriously heavy wobblers. The side is finished out with the proto digi-dub vibes of 'Buy A Dream'. A short yet glorious centre pivot for the EP.
On the flip we're into some heavy groovin' deep house territory. 'Fantasy' is loaded up with classic timbres and slightly tranquilised vocals plus a buzzing LFO-tweaked bassline. A modern classic fusion of US house music and low-end UK sounds. 'Rushin' steps us to the end with a natural miniature breakbeat riding across a once-again nostalgic rhythm and bass interplay with vocal snips and gentle, melodic organ stabs weaving in and out of focus.
