"The second release on Declassified carries on from where I left off with DCLSFD001, once again setting out to merge the UKG / 2-step framework with my influences from Drum & Bass and Dubstep. I originally wrote these four tracks with a view to releasing them as a double pack, but after some thought split the EP into 2 singles. Test presses for DCLSFD003 have just been approved, and I’m currently working on the fourth release for the label. I’d like to thank everyone for their continued support - obviously this wouldn’t be possible without you!”

Pick your poison! Skream bites down for Steel City Dance Discs Volume 23. The Croydon (London, U.K.) native strikes hard with a 3-track injection of heaving dance floor venom.

A motley of pumping rhythms courses through the veins of this EP as he reaches into his diverse repertoire of soundscapes.

The record opens up with Doolally – a euphoric House shaker intoxicated with nostalgia. Now in its grip, Space Ghetto swells up with tight breaks and aching bass; the tune is peppered with head nods to early hardcore tropes and a voice recording of Big Miz. Symptoms persist with Drago The Destroyer, which finishes us off with a rapid onslaught of chest thumping kicks and off-kilter synth rushes.

Nothing will save you.

Having survived the dreaded year 2020, we enter 2021 with a new hope and a brand new release as we welcome Hydro & War back to the fold. Our 26th offering is their Utopia comeback after almost 2 years since the release of the critically acclaimed 'Lateral Thinking' LP.

As usual this is a really well-rounded release. The A side ‘Detroit’ sees them joined by their long-time friend and collaborator, Mateba, for a deep, more musical excursion. The flip side is an unapologetic heavier, darker vibe to destroy the dancefloor!

Mako: "Well the guys are deadly by themselves and together they're unstoppable. I love everything, always, and sometimes I'm lucky to release some of it. From subtle aesthetics to bass pressure and the balance of wood and energy - love it."

If a tree falls in Sweden, do you hear it in Brooklyn? If I find my keys, can I leave my house? …and what is the difference between raging Lust and vengeful Wrath? On my second EP for Studio Barnhus, I make my case for a shared space for both. Sandwiched between two love notes to Vangelis are three cuts of choice deli meats procured from the finest bodegas of the land. For headphones, cars, hi-fi systems and even clubs too.

A1. Wrath

Soul Mass Transit System is a familiar name to fans of Shall Not Fade's highly popular garage imprint, Time Is Now. The Leeds duo made up of producers D. Jason and Baby J have been favourites of the series and of the UKG revival in general, recently scoring a release on another trend-setting label of the scene, Dr Banana.

The Dubble Trubble EP traverses the wide range of very British club sounds with ease that only comes with expertise, from frenetic hyper breaks to deep dubstep bass. Opener "Give It 2 U" tempts listeners in with its dramatic rolling minimalism, forward off-kilter drums and a chest-rattler of a sub. Sludgy A2 "My Name Is Down" centres a Niche style bassline, plenty of swing and dubwise sensibility.

On the B-side things ramp up a notch; "Trubble N Strife" tears it open, peak time cybernetic junglist gear with more than a few tricks up its sleeve. "U Got Me Burnin" is a real climax; jubilant, hands-in-the-air rave nonsense that closes out a collection of solid dancefloor toughness with more choppy breaks.

A1 Soul Mass Transit System - Give It 2 U

Van Bonn is opening a new chapter for Van Bonn Records in presenting collaborations with like minded artists on his label. ‚Dual‘ is a travel through foggy, reverberating and echoing landscapes by the long time friends Van Bonn and Tim Kossmann, known from his releases on e.g. Greyscale and Telrae. The opener is a bass heavy dub techno vibe that contrasts the rhythmical bass stabs and harmonious chords with a dubbed out melody.

'Adrift‘ is all about the continous ride on the moment of flow and depth, yet it is a little personal reference to the vibes of the mid 2000s. No one less than Mosaic and Bluetrain founder and dub techno monolith Steve O’Sullivan took on the remix duties. Steve O’ Sullivan transformed ‚Adrift‘ into a trippy and dubby dance floor version that is the combination of UK and Berlin dub vibes. Resilience enters ambient and electronica waters with feel for attention to detail.
