In need of some fiyah DnB? Our roundup features new releases by Chopstick Dubplate, Fleck, Pull Up Collective, Samurai Breaks, INKPHET, Voltage, Soulscience, BR Ft Feyder, Ablaze, DREDILLAH,  Sweet N Sikka, Gold Dubs, The Scarecrow & Dan Guidance…..

The Chopstick Dubplate collective have a brand new release out, filled with tasty toasting and feelgood ragga junglistic heaters fresh out of the lab of some of the scene’s top talents

Part of a free compilation from Breaks/DnB label BKoast, Fleck smashes it with this sick Ragga Jungle roller

Out now on Deep In The Jungle, Pull Up Collective’s new EP is yet another essential addition to the junglists collection. A purist foray into the sounds of 94′, lighters at the ready!!

Next up, not one but two futuristic Jungle/DnB/Footwork steppas from Samurai Breaks, these ones are for the true ravers!!!

Macabre darkness from Inkphet on Viral Mental, a new EP  and a free download loaded with fierce growling basslines and thumping beats for the darker dance floors

Accomplished producer Voltage always brings his A-Game when it comes to new beats. No exceptions here, this new EP on Low Down Deep is the stuff raves and clubs are made for

Soulscience returns after a hiatus from tune making. He returns with this gem of a warm rolling liquid DnB tune which is free to download

This track by BR Ft Feyder is taken from the newest multi-tempo EP on Russia’s Future Jungle Music showcasing some of the finest emerging talent and veterans to the scene all in one

This beaut of a tune is from Ablaze’s new EP on Unified Audio. We are very pleased to host the premiere to this classy track that kicks off with tasty sax licks and evolves into a summery roller that sounds like the beaches of California in mid July!!!

Back to the darkness and by darkness we mean darkness done nicely!!! Fast, frantic pounding beats and rib splitting synths are what Dredillah has to offer. Only if you’re strong enough to handle them!!

This is one of two DnB slammers from Sweet N Sikka, part of their new time themed EP on Formation. A couple of raw energetic stripped back kick n’ snare call & response snap attackers designed to bring out the freak in you!!!

Gold Dubs gets deep, tribal; and rootsy on this flavourable contribution to the new Tru Thoughts album

if you haven’t got this follow up to Asbo Records’ Joker Recs remix series, one more reason (as if you needed it) to go buy is a free remix of The Scarecrow ‘Tutti Fruitti’ by Dialect & Kosine

And we conclude with something nice n’ smooth from Dan Guidance, a producer you really should get to know. This free track should be a great starter

Drum & Bass Roundup 23.10.16

I know all of our followers are hardy souls when it comes to music, but if you have friends you might describe as ‘faint hearted’, you best ask them to leave the room while you tackle this epic new track from, Maxim. If you recognize the name and you’re thinking, is that The Prodigy‘s, Maxim, yes it is and he’s about to roll out a number of new tunes that will very much encompass his love of Drum n Bass.

‘Respect’ is Maxim’s first track to be released on the new label, Death Drum Rebel and will be the label to bring you his future releases with several already lined up with some very special vocalists on board. His tune is as full on as you can get which is no surprise when you’ve been a member of The Prodigy for all these years. Tear out D n B for those who prefer it running at full chat!

Buy ‘Respect’ here from Juno.

It’s always time to get excited when Techno warrior, Hostage, pops into the ward and get excited you will, because as you can see there’s 3 free track sup for grabs!

‘Drive’ has all the hallmarks of Hostage’s dark and heavy Techno sound with a bassline that’ll pulverize your mind. ‘Vision’ drops in hard an has an intoxicating tribal sound. The spell this one casts will soon have you stomping! The last of the three free tracks is ‘Algorhythm’, a slightly more House based track that still kicks hard and is totally twisted. Grab one or grab them all, your music collection will become a whole lot heavier by having them in it!

Feel the groove folks!

Having been DJing since the 90’s, Dave Allison really knows his stuff, especially when it comes to Disco. He’s no stranger to having party goers groovin’ along to sets that are fuelled by funky basslines and often contain a sprinkling of his own work. One of his own tracks that will be bound to cause maximum pleasure on the dancefloor is this low slung and lush remix of ‘Callin To Ya’ by, Jackin Box. This one’s clearly been soaking in the Funk tank and comes out with it dripping from everywhere. Gird your loins because your gonna want to get down to this!

This mix from her show in 2002 by the Plump Djs set the future and beginnings of a legendary career for the duo.
