With the release of his Afterglo mix CD way back in 2010, a pleasant surprise hidden among Chemical Records orders, Phaeleh burst onto the electronic music scene with his own brand of melodic, relaxing Dubstep. An antidote to the mid range screeches that had begun to take over the 140 tempo, it was just what [...]
With England getting seemingly more and more rainy and grim, plenty of UK festival organizers are instead setting their sites on the sunny shores of Europe, with a whole host of festivals immigrating to Croatia in particular. A beautiful country that’s not too expensive and seems to have an unbelievable ammount of beach side campsites, [...]
This Friday sees Fabric representing our two favourite genres of music in one mighty three room lineup. With Goldie’s Metalheadz label populating room two with their hard, gritty and deep style, d&b is definitely well catered for. Stalwards Ed Rush & Optical and Dillinja are joined by a Jubei b2b Youngsta set which should be [...]
London producer Burial has always been known for doing his own thing, forsaking club anthems in favour or murky atmospheres, ambient soundscapes and experimental music. For me, his music sum’s up South London, driving through the greys that should be boring but somehow have that tense, exciting and moody nature about them, something forever apparent [...]
Back with yet more d&b bangers to make your shoulder ache (yes, I still haven’t invested in one of those posh wheelie vinyl bags), New In The Bag this time round features a range of bits, from a repress of the age old Goodlooking classic Atlantis through some of the freshest talent on the scene.

A thirteen track offering, it treads the line between genres, Reso (aka Alex Melia) blends futurism and dance floor weight for a sound different to any other. Read what Will had to say about it below…. Having heard [...]
Describing themselves as compulsive music sharers, The Vision*ary family are a new London collective where genre’s are only walls to be broken down. Wheit’s house or hip hop, garage or techno, nineties sleazy RnB or tribal psychedelic funk, if it’s got a vibe then it’s all bless. After humble beginnings as a group of heads [...]
Having been around since 2005, Washington DC based Translation Recordings have just released their most ambitious project to date, a 14 track LP entitled Universal Grooves. Living up to their aim of being open to all sounds of 170 and operating without borders, it’s an incredibly varied release showcasing a variety of d&b from across [...]
When it started around five years ago, Urban Nerds was one of the first multi genre bass music nights to grace our fine capital. Since then they’ve risen up the ranks of the underground clubbing scene to become an absolute powerhouse, packing out clubs, and some more interesting venues, left right and centre. In true [...]
Bristol Hip Hop crew SE Fire have just dropped a really heavy track as a build up to their album, Match in the Ocean, coming on August 13th. A crisp, relaxed and melancholic beat draws on Trip Hop elements underneath depressing depictions of city life before eventually launching into a hard, bass laden dubstep beat [...]
