Gutterfunk has become known for its open ended music policy, the phrase ‘melting pot’ is often over used but it perhaps is the most apt way of describing the label.DJ Die and Addison Groove are both innovators as solo artists but as a pairing all rules really go out of the window. Drum machines co-exist with drum breaks, sub-cultures from Chicago to Sao Paulo are represented and refined through the Bristol eye and a new aesthetic is born, always dancefloor and never obvious.

With their debut LP City Of Gold still resonating in the clubs and smashing up dance floors across the globe, The Prototypes waste no time in unleashing a brand new banger for your speakers: Hypercube.Having already been made a firm favourite thanks to Friction opening his live Radio 1 Essential Mix at Glastonbury early this year in the UK and being selected as his 'Friction Fire' track on Radio 1 & 1Xtra, Hypercube is full of attitude and weighs heavy on the low end, all wrapped up in a mass of energy big enough to shatter the fourth dimension. Also included in the vinyl single is the exclusive VIP mix of Pop It Off, one of this years biggest dancefloor anthems.

180 gram heavyweight vinyl + transparent sticker in die-cut logo jacket. Paradox Musicspread their wings and deliver an instrumental Breakbeat album evoking the late 80’s Beats, Breaks & Scratches era.Wax Breaks features 16 Breakbeat tracks for Break Djs, Rappers and Music Producers. Each track has been note-pitched for mixing and sampling purposes at 33 and 45 rpm.From Hip-hop to Drum & Bass and Downtempo, Wax Breaks is the versatile Breakbeat tool for live performance and studio production.

Fresh, genre bending interpretations from Barac (Romania) and dBridge (UK). These two inspiring producers provide their modern touch to the contemporary dancefloor continuum: dBridge offers an up-to-date hybrid that straddles the line between techno and breakbeat, while Baracs extended mix is a deep and hypnotic journey through space. dBridge represents a milestone when it comes to UK dance music. Being part of the legendary drum and bass group Bad Company in the late 90s, running his extensive label Exit Records, and regularly releasing on Boddikas Nonplus, Metalheadz, as well as R&S, he has gained an enviable reputation as a specialist with a modern take on techno and breakbeat variations. Romanias up-and-coming Barac has released a double record on Rareshs Metereze imprint among others, has recently launched his own platform with Moment, and is inarguably one of the top creative minds emerging from the vivid ourown / sunrise scene. The selection of these particular producers is the result of Konrad Black simultaneously considering his past while embracing the future. His affinity for dBridge goes back longer than a decade when Konrad was working for Virus Recordings in London, making dBridge an ideal conduit for the Drum and Bass aesthetic that still courses through both artists veins. Barac represents a new wave of artists whose music exists as a crystal ball depicting an ideal future for techno music on the whole. Together, these top talents present a pair of fresh interpretations of Blacks darkly aspirational release.

Chicago Footwork legend DJ Rashad rounds off an impressive year on Hyperdub with his first album for the label. Named after the recreational cocktail of codeine and sprite, ‘Double Cup’ sees trad 808 footwork workouts thrown into collision with more recent mutations of the sound, presenting Rashad’s most comprehensive showcase of the diversity and strength of the Chicago scene in 2013. The album drags hip hop, R&B, acid, house, techno and jungle into its footwork turbine, spitting them all out in recombinant fragments glued together with purring 808 sub triplets and jerky polyrhythms.

10 new tracks by the one and only Congo Natty with a little help from Adrian Sherwood, Skip McDonald, Benny Page & others!

Limited white label.

The whispers have been building gradually for Dom & Roland’s album for Metalheadz and now we’re very happy to be able to reveal the sampler for the project. The sampler kicks off with “Sirens Song” feat Robert Manos, typically cinematic work from Dom with Robert Manos’ trademark vocals, the drum work is some of Doms finest to date. “Tone Poem” has been a highlight of Goldie’s sets for the last few months and its easy to see why: big bass and lashing drums make this one an instant wheel up.

Clear & white vinyl. First 25 copies come with a transparent sticker pack.Gremlinz returns to Paradox Music with two tracks of intense Jungle.‘The Axe’ sees Gremlinz & Jesta twist searing pads and vocals with concrete-slab breaks that pound your chest in true Paradox Music fashion. Deep subs, Tabla and horn effects morph the hypnotic groove of ‘The Axe’.Warehouse Music is what we have on the flip. ‘White Dove’ rolls an early 90’s hardcore break alongside eerie drones and sharp bells on the fly. 808 booms and chord samples shine and prove ‘White Dove’ wouldn’t sound out of place on the dance floor at the early Lazerdrome raves.

With a catalogue spanning major D&B arteries such as RAM, Viper, BSE, Bad Taste & Ammunition Recordings, it's no wonder Tobias & Jakob are hot property and a more than worthy addition to Black Sun Empire's Blackout Music family. If Ed Rush & Optical license three tracks for their FabricLive compilation, Andy C wants to add you to the RAMLife track list and you jet off to Australia & New Zealand for a label tour, then you must be doing something right.My Galactic Tale builds on the solid foundations laid in previous releases. Always packed full of energy and creativity, Neonlight's productions have been decimating dancefloors the world over for years and this experience can clearly be heard throughout the LP. From the atmospheric breakdowns of Queen Beth V and Ignition to the unrelenting pace of Microbots, each and every element has been carefully crafted for maximum impact. Juicy hooks, sumptuous melodies and pounding, almost death-defying basslines are the order of the day for Neonlight, all packaged beautifully in a 16 track long player that is sure to be a favourite with the duo's fans and set to elevate them even higher in the drum & bass standings.

After the resounding success of their debut Viper Recordings single, 'Neon God / Return of the Snitch', Mob Tactics return with their latest offering, 'Get Dirty / Shark Tank'.'Get Dirty' does exactly what the name implies. You are going to have to take a shower after listening to this one. Filthy basslines and murky synths are underpinned by hard as nails drums and punctuated by expertly placed vocal samples. Next up, 'Shark Tank' keeps the pressure high with yet more growling, moody basslines, rolling kicks and razor sharp snares. This one will most definitely make you follow the lead vocal and "put your hands up."

Hidden Turn first came to the attention of Doc Scott & 31 Recordings with the track 'Big Dirty'. Scott had been playing it on his Future Beats radio show and contacted him about releasing it on his 31 label. That first release made quite a splash across the dnb world and beyond and was described by the label as 'kinda dnb, kinda not, but we like it'.Hidden Turn returns in 2016 with his and the labels, debut artist album 'The Ride'.

Here's a new remix record from Aaron Spectre, an American producer known for building bridges. Nearly a decade after his first "Amen, Punk" vinyl was released in Japan and became a worldwide underground staple, he's back refining the energetic hybrid sound further. Jungle Boots is four tracks of genre-unifying white label goodness, flawlessly cut to vinyl and ready to rock.

Blackout Music deliver an oppressive statement with their latest slice of heavy dnb, this time in the form of Slovenian artist Telekinesis and their Obey EP. Delivering 2 powerful tracks designed to ensure the dancefloor submits to the authority of their hard-hitting neurofunk aesthetic, this talented pair of producers step up their game in a significant way for their 3rd outing on one of dnb's most significant Labels. BREAK's opening evokes the intro Prodigy's Smack my Bitch Up before dropping into a tear out rave destroyer of the highest order. "Shut Up" shifts the EP back into deadly serious territory with a mean edge and brutal half step smackdown delivered in the 2nd drop. Telekenesis have carved a strong path with their releases to date, following up effective forays on Bad Taste and Eatbrain with an EP truly worthy of the standard set by Blackout Music NL. The OBEY EP sees these producers once again delivering on their promising talent and brutally taking control of the sound system to represent Blackouts mighty sound.

Brand new on Ignescent comes something different. A true double header, with two tracks each from the super talented Agressor Bunx and NickBee. Always showcasing the faster, harder end of the music, Ignescent means business. Ignescent's first two releases have been met with both success and acclaim, and they are ready to do it all over again with 003, which sees the label's vision expanded through music from two of the hottest names out there. Drum & bass from Ukraine has never looked stronger, and names like those on this release will take the music far into the future. Take a trip on IGNT003. Agressor Bunx start us off with Club Shake. This one erupts like a storm from its electronic opening, dropping into a major main section, with force and power. The bass rumbles as samples and effects flash across the spectrum, leaving you in no doubt of the Agressor's intention. This one's a perfect start to the four-tracker, rolling along with some space age funk. AB continue with the frighteningly good Deadwalking. This one cuts and struts, the sounds of a cyborg race being created. Fall deep into the underground, as the robots soon take over all frequencies. Not letting go for a minute, Deadwalking grabs a hold and takes you far, far away. NickBee provides Resistance with his first effort, showing off his full range of sounds and flavours as he delivers yet another killer tune. The track builds slowing, cutting and chopping into the drop. Tribal percussion finds its way into the mix, alongside sliding synths and low, morphing bass. Nick always provides something different in his tracks, and this is no exception. He finishes out the EP with Matrix, a view from the edge of madness, with sliding, stuttering sounds and an advanced sense of funk. Exploring new territory is very much what Ignescent Recordings are all about, and you'll definitely find something new inside the Matrix.

* Four cuts from BCee’s ‘Come And Join Us’ LP get the remix treatment from some of the finest producers around right now.* The River Runs Dry get the treatment from Tokyo Prose who takes it moody yet musical.* Newcomers Pola & Bryson step up for remix duties on ‘Sun Goes Down’ and inject their own flavour of d&b goodness.* Legend of underground d&b Klute steps up and injects a slice of old skool jungle into ‘Come And Join Us’.* GLXY take ‘Think Twice’ and switch it to a laid back liquid roller.

The time has come for SCAR to broaden its horizons. As a production duo Survival & Script initially made a name for themselves by supplying rugged dancefloor workouts but there is a much larger story to tell here and with The Orkyd Project album this story will be told.Production collaborations have been kept to an absolute minimum aside from vocal features; Naomi Pryor is the ever present voice of the album with further contributions from Eleanor Higgins and Ray Uptown.The influences for The Orkyd Project shine a further light on the story; from Bill Withers to Massive Attack via Eric B and Rakim.When initial conversations took place between Goldie and SCAR regarding the album Goldie gave the guys full license to create whatever they wanted and what we have been given is a melting pot of 2016 London music. Soul exists beside screw face.It's important to note that Drum n bass hasn't been abandoned by any means, the hall marks of SCAR are ever present and correct- the blue print has just been expanded upon.

Limited album sampler!

New VA EP on Noisia's prestigious Invisible imprint. Featuring a much awaited track by London based Italian Disprove, Russian duo Abstract Elements are back, Survey go in deep and another cheesy one from Subtension.

Jungle Rollerz newcomer, Ilk takes us back to the mid nineties with the menacing 'We Don't Know'. Where rugged, hardstep breaks layered with ruffneck gangsta rap vocals and heavyweight bass tones ruled the jungle. This one's not for the lightweight junglist. Keezee's 'Burst Into Fire' presents us with an intense combination of rolling Amens and Apache breaks accentuated by heavenly, soaring strings and an infectious, booming bassline melody. Perfectly capturing the vintage vibes of a certain drum & bass'Headz' label. Bonus track, 'Fang & Claw' by Necrotype delivers an eerie synth intro peppered with lycanthropic horror flick samples before unleashing a barrage of layered and FX-ed amen breaks, growling mentasm stabs and subsonic bass booms. A masterful piece of neo-darkcore, junglism.

After a lengthy hiatus the head of the tribe is back! Goldie delivers Broken Man and it’s a sound youinstantly realise has been lacking in this scene. A massive return from one of our most treasured innovators.

ZamZam is proud to present a massive and mighty steppers tune from Ariel Tagar, better known to the worlds of reggae and electronic music as Kalbata. Instantly addictive, "Brimstone & Lightning" is a collaboration between Kalbata and a veteran yet little-known Jamaican producer called Leon Electronics. Kalbata’s legendary reggae obsession led him to seek Leon out with the intention of rereleasing an obscure tune of his from the 80's. After months of searching, Kalbata managed to track Leon down in Kingston Jamaica and met with him while recording his celebrated 'Congo Beat The Drum' LP. Going through the tapes at Boris Gardiner’s studio, the pair stumbled on this unfinished tune. Leon dismissed it, but Kalbata became obsessed with the rough gem, so Leon gave him his blessings to finish, cut and release it. Started in Jamaica in 1990 and finished in Tel Aviv last year, the 100% analog mix is like a message from the future to the past brought forth in the miracle of the present - a pounding steppers whose kick, bass & space dynamics have to be heard to be believed.Voiced on the original tape from 1990, the identity of the vocalist remains a mystery, forgotten even by Leon Electronics. But he lives again in this scorcher of a tune, at 160 bpm one of the most relentless yet buoyant steppers you will ever hear.

Calibre (aka Dominick Martin) needs no introduction. Having been one of the most prolific and consistent artists within the drum and bass scene over the last 15 years, he's graced the catalogues of many labels; including Exit Records, Soul:r and countless others.His first solo album, the highly acclaimed 'Musique Concrete' on Fabio's Creative Source was released in 2001 and was followed by nine more on his own imprint Signature Records. Releasing two further albums of downtempo electronica under the Dominick Martin moniker, Calibre has proved time and time again that his musical talent knows no bounds. Here we have his 'Strumpet' EP, in which once again he showcases his seemingly effortless productions that engage the listener throughout, accompanied by a groove and emotion that simply cannot be matched. As with most of his releases, Calibre also made his own artwork, which gives the EP a unique visual identity to accompany the music.
