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

It’s that time again! Put more shake in your coconuts with Meat Katie’s Lowering The Tone Podcast. Kicking things off in normal fashion we have a hour long mix of sweet, sweet tech sounds of the groovy, funky kind. Then, onto the interview! This month see a hungover Mark head to Evil Nine’s headquarters to give Tom & Pat a grilling. Topic includes when breakbeat was ‘cool’, writing such classic tracks as ‘Crooked’ & ‘Restless’ and the time it all began at Marine Parade ….

3000 Deep is the home of music that is just that, deep. They have an abundance of music on their Soundcloud page that is always captivating and has an either lush or feisty sound to it. This EP from Nikizi that we’ve plucked out of their huge collection of music, fits the later of those two categories for sure. It’s not the first time we’ve brought you music from Nikizi on 3000 Deep and I’m sure that when you fully immerse yourself in the 2 tracks on offer, you’ll soon see why we’re doing it again. This is music I know I could lose myself to on the dancefloor and I’m sure many of you will feel the same too.

House & Techno Roundup

Even though I’ve had a handful of mixes posted hear on the ward, it still feels kinda awkward sharing them with you because I’m not really one to shout about things I’ve done. What I am happy to shout about though is other peoples music, which of course is what I love to do hear on LSM, but also in the odd mix too. This latest one from me features some real high quality Tech House from a large number of extremely talented producers whose music I connected with instantly when I first heard it. The mix itself is a slow burner with several gorgeous tracks to warm you up before the tempo picks up and really gets going. At 2 and a half hours long, it’s a mix I hope will take you on a magical journey. Enjoy.

2016 has been a climatic year for Loadstar, having played the UK’s

biggest festival stages seeing them once again gear up for a string of club

releases.The anticipation is slowly growing with each fresh sonic piece of

artwork and after the critical acclamation which has followed their career

it’s easy to see why. Whether it’s the gritty basslines the guys are known

for, or the more melodic rollers which have peppered their sets recently,

they’ve stuck to a versatile soundscape and this output will be no different.

The next stepping stone in their colossal release schedule is ‘Channel

the Channel’ and ‘Encarta’. Both tracks platform quick-firing beats and the

quickly processing basslines apparent throughout the darker side of their

discography.

‘Change the Channel’ sets a precedent. Rolling forward on an

incredibly deceiving intro, one which focuses on a melody that resurfaces

at various segments, although you’re soon dropped into absolute chaos.

Reminiscent of their earlier productions, yet bringing together more

harmonious elements, you’re drawn into a sound which merges two ends

of the spectrum. Snatching hooks snare themselves within the mix, before

the track slowly begins to collect itself. A flicker of cinematic sample

breaks this down quickly, once more throwing you head first into a

smashing relay of breaks.

Bouncier and hitting harder with every kick drum, ‘Encarta’ follows

with clicking hi-hats and warbling bass notes which build with every layer.

A track that heavily relies on its build up, the track is diced up into

segments and with each part you’re thrown down a conundrum of

smashing percussion. A construction line of drums hit harder and harder

with every loop pattern and you’ll be unable to pull yourself out of the

track’s composition. It’s so tightly woven, Loadstar’s ingenious design

becomes very clear.

Igniting crowds worldwide, whether in Las Vegas or at

Glastonbury, Loadstar have returned with more fire than ever.
