Pythius-Heresy EP [Blackout]

Even though he is at the core and is one of the vital cogs in the Desert Hearts party machine, Marbs is only just making his debut on the label. That in itself is quite remarkable and so is the music he has on offer for us. His ‘Tusk & Tales’ EP features 4 free tracks that are just out this world and truly breathtaking.

The title track from the EP ‘Tusk & Tales’ is very much a music journeyman’s track. It’s one of those tunes you’ll get lost in and wander off into with no concept of what’s going on in the real world. Spanish producer, TÂCHES backs up the the track with a thoroughly soul soothing remix to boot. ‘Loveish’ is Marbs second free tune that’s packed with hypnotic Tribal vibes and the final track ‘Pink Skies’ delivers a wave of ethereal warmth to give a golden glow to everyone who experiences it. Must have music!

The third in Ultra Bass Record’s critically acclaimed compilation series ‘The Ultra Underground’ could be summed up in a two-word review ‘absolutely essential’. But we won’t just do that, let’s talk a bit about the mouth-watering tracks on this classy comp.

For 2 Step Garage and grime lovers, check out the awesome tunes by Erban Fox, Lamont Dex, Celladore, Bitr8 & Thorn, Digital Pilgrimz, On1, and Harri Georgio & Scrivs. Listening to said tracks makes you realise how much depth there is in a sub-genre. You get everything from timeless oldskool UKG to cutting edge Bass cum Techno cum Grime

If like this writer, you’re partial to a bit of quality Deep/Tech House then Adam Hyjek, Mr.Spring, Terror Tone,  and 99db;s contributions to ‘Ultra Underground Vol 3′  are House Music at it’s finest

Love Bass House? Stravan, Renaud Genton and Bitr8 & Thorn have got that more than adequately covered for you

And you love a bit of firing 98′ style Speed Garage you say? Well, you might be forgiven for thinking DJ Parallax and Xales’ offerings on this fantastic album are straight off a dusty vinyl from back in the day, super authentic!!!!

Get The Ultra Underground Vol Three here, like we said, two words, absolutely essential!

VA-The Ultra Underground Vol 3

It wasn’t too long ago that Nick Behrmann was testing the foundations of the ward with his ‘Lost Transfer‘ EP and now he’s back doing it again! This time it’s his intense and insanely good Acid infused Techno track ‘Twister’ that is doing the damage, both to the structure of the building and our minds! In for remix duties of Nick’s track is, Beat Tempest, who throws the cloak of darkness over the original which gives it a more sinister vibe. Both tracks are amazing and will have you zoned out and locked on from beginning to end, so press play to make your day!

After The Funk Fury‘s free EP ‘Almanac’ lit up the ward, we’ve been looking forward to hearing even more from him. Luckily for us all that day has arrived and we can share with you his latest offering ‘Supa Legal’, a slab of Funky Breaks with a distinct Brazilian flavour so you can throw in a bit of Samba to your very best moves. Great sounds!

Back in 2004, Angelos Stoumpos aka, Timewarp, was hugely influenced and inspired by the Nu-Funk and Dub Electronica sounds that were around. He knew that in his homeland of Greece those styles of music were lacking and knew this had to change, so he went about creating his very own label, Timewarp Music.

From 2004 to the present day, Timewarp Music has grown massively and has released a staggering amount of high quality music. There’s over 500 tracks to be found on the labels Soundcloud page which is enough to keep anyone highly entertained for a very long time. With all these successful releases it might go without saying that Angelos has created one of the go to labels for all things Nu-Funk, Nu-Disco, Dub and Breaks. I’ve dug in to a small portion of what’s available from Timewarp Music and I can assure you that I will be digging a lot deeper in the future.

Should all those words need backing up, check out the fifth compilation album in their ‘Freestyle 4 Funk’ series and you’ll soon see why the label is one you really need to keep tabs on. 16 tracks make up the album that’s features a incredible selection of old, new and unreleased tracks in Downtempo, Dub, Reggae, Nu-Funk, Soul and Breaks styles. The range in styles means there will always be something different around the corner which will have locked on with excitement to see what’s up next. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again “there’s some seriously good albums to have graced the ward this year” and this one from Timewarp Music is right up there with the best of em!

Buy ‘Freestyle 4 Funk 5′ here from Bandcamp.
