Potent Funk are proud to bring you their latest release - the much anticipated second solo album from Dabbla: Death Moves.

Following on from the success of his 2016 debut, Year of the Monkey, Dabbla returns with an album that eschews any of the stereotypical pitfalls and curses of a sophomore project, instead pushing his craft to ever higher levels.

The title for Death Moves was originally borne from Dabbla's fascination with martial arts, but as the album began to form and more and more was poured into its creativite process, the name took on further meaning. If anything is worthy of being called a labour of love, then it is this album. Dabbla's unique blend of hybrid rap shit is the main ingredient, with life commentary and straight up humour, mixing with personal reflection and standard rapper self-aggrandizement.

He is accompanied by a serious selection of guests too, with artists like Bristol songstress, Eva Lazarus and chart sensation, Rag'N'Bone Man, joining the likes of fellow Dead Player, Jam Baxter, regular sparring partner, Illaman and his original family unit, LDZ. Production credits are in the upper echelons too, with AJSwizzy, Sumgii, Dirty Dike, GhostTown, Pete Cannon, Hashfinger, Dag Nabbit, The Purist and Don Piper all bringing their brand of firepower to the table

(Please note, this is a pre-order, shipping 1st of October)

This new EP is a perfectly balanced mix of vocal and instrumental tracks showcasing the raw talent of the Manchester based producer. Pitch 92 has assembled a healthy roster of artists to work alongside, ranging from UK Hip Hop royalty to up & coming US artists as well as accomplished musicians. 

Spanning from UK Hip Hop favourites such as Jehst & Verb T, to new faces such as [ K S R ], Sparkz and Dr. Outer as well as hooking up with Sony Music's Ashley Henry, one of the UK's most accomplished jazz pianists as heard on One Handed - Pitch 92, armed with his trusty MPC, expertly provides the perfect backdrop to accommodate each of his guests, as well as putting forward instrumentals that stand out as masterpieces in their own right, Pitch 92 applies finesse and the ability of a veteran producer, despite only being 26 years old - One listen of lead single Lost In Space featuring Jehst and Confucius MC is all you need to confirm that we are indeed listening to a master at work.

In short, Lost In Space is a production masterclass and serves as the perfect introduction to the Pitch 92 sound, of which you will be hearing more and more, guaranteed.

DJ/producer Tommy T gets busy with two sureshot party starters back to back on this tasty Waxnerds release, the a-side Watch The DJ expertly editing Michael Wycoff & Zhane together, both classics on their own, but the two together, tidy! The b-side Let's Have Some Funk is equally bangin', plus it comes with some with added funked up samples to cut cut up. Bonus.

Introducing The Mouse Outfit's third studio album, the 17 track Jagged Tooth Crook. With over 29 musicians, vocalists and producers involved in the album, this is their most ambitious project to date. Production has been overseen by the band founders Chini and Defty with help from synth wizard Metrodome (Levelz). Contributions have also come from the band's drummer Deese and Pitch 92 (High Focus).

This album retains the trademark head nodding beats of the band's previous releases, but on Jagged Tooth Crook, The Mouse Outfit's jazz & soul influences are more evident. In truest form Chini and Defty have sought out a new generation of talent to collaborate with... soulstress IAMDDB and a roster of Manchester's most talked about emcees and singers, including Kinkai, Berry Blacc, Ellis Meade, Dubbul O, T-Man and Layfullstop. Plus long time collaborators Fox, Sparkz, Dr Syntax & Black Josh also present alongside Birmingham based TrueMendous.

Exploring uncharted territories both through his raw yet refined lyricism and musical soundscape, Fliptrix flips the notion of conventions on its head and delivers this in the form of brand new album Inexhale. Expanding the lexicon of Hip Hop, the project goes beyond the boundaries as he takes you on a metaphorical journey buried deep with out of the box symbolism and concepts.

The album, produced by the highly respected Joe Corfeild, Molotov & Chemo, takes us on a journey that not only marks a maturity in Fliptrix’s sound but demonstrates a depth that explores and pays homage to different influences. The juxtaposition of the title Inexhale gives a premonition into the complexity of his sound as it leads into a transition. With features from Ocean Wisdom, Skinnyman, Coops, Onoe Caponoe, Datkid & Carmody the record is peppered with some epic guest vocals.  

(Limited edition double LP album on red and black marble vinyl)

Nature's Greatest Mystery is the debut album from High Focus supergroup Big Owl (Fliptrix), Bird T (Verb T), Rusty Take-Off (BVA MC) & Deformed Wing (Leaf Dog), and is one of the most exciting projects to ever come out of UK Hip Hop. With Leaf Dog on production duties and features from Q-Unique, Dirty Dike & Jam Baxter, this is a modern day classic that is a must for any real Hip Hop head!

Limited edition repress on translucent yellow double vinyl with black & white splatter effect, full colour 350gsm reverse board sleeve.

Bristol legends and pioneers of Hip Hop's late 80's roots in the city, and beyond, MC's Krissy Kriss, Kelz and DJ Lynx aka 3PM come together once again on this fantastic nine track compilation. Having worked alongside, and featured on tracks with fellow Bristol legends Smith & Mighty and The Wild Bunch back in the day, plus releasing their own discography, yet never delivering an album, you know there's bound to have been more of their output stashed somewhere...

Here they've dug deep in the unreleased archives and assembled a selection of tracks from cassettes and dat tapes, originally recorded in Bristol between 1989 and 1995. From Kelz's righteous fury on Posse Move Blues and Kriss' easy charm on My Life, to the beautifully compact acapella Brother, it's a vivid illustration of what could have been. Breakbeats tumble, reggae-inflected basslines tug, and inspired pop references curl into unexpected refrains (see Lynx's deft manipulation of Debbie Harry on Toe-to-Toe). Inspiration, as 3PM would have it, is the word.

Following the drop of his long sold out 2017 album Earth and vinyl re-release of 2015's Night Sessions, Remulak is back with a brand new instrumental project titled One.

This project was made entirely on the Maschine MK1 and Fruity Loops, where Remulak first began experimenting with his production.

With a shared love of gourmet dishes and luxury rap beats, Sonnyjim & Juga-Naut have cooked up some marvelous shit. A 12 course treat in the form of The Purple Door. The beats are woven in Sonnyjim's trademark style; hypnotic sample choices and infectious loops carry the soundtrack; sneakily the samples build up in instrumentation which weaves the perfect quilt for the lyrics to rest on. 

Jugz' drops gems peppered with ambitious graft and empowerment fit to elevate someone from the basement to the board room; there's playboy braggadocio, fly food references and life lessons - what other rapper is out here flexing about milk fed veal whilst at the same time reminding you of the responsibility of checking in on your Grandma?

First Word Records is very proud to present the triumphant return of the UK's finest Hip Hop Soul duo, Children of Zeus, with a double-header of brand new material.

In addition to relentlessly rocking stages and studios all over Europe, Children of Zeus have somehow found the time to write and produce their debut album proper. Slow Down is the first taste. A sure-shot Summer anthem, with a twist. A deceptively soulful slow jam that lulls you into a false sense of filtered smoothness, before a floor-shaking beat & trill hats drop in from above, as if thrown in via a thunderbolt from Zeus himself.

On the flip, we have the uptempo boom-bap steppa, All Night. Konny sets this one off on some straight b-boy isht, riding a rhythm that's guaranteed to make grown Hip Hoppers reminisce, before Tyler's sweet swing-tinged vocals glide into play to keep you firmly steppin' - this one again illustrating the Mancunian duo's craft of creating timeless Hip Hop Soul music. (Nb: This track is only included on this single release, and will not be featured on the album).

Another two sure shot productions from the 45 Brothers, neck snappin' boom bap flavour for the a-side cut What's Happening, whilst some full throttle b-boy funk gets injected into the b-side stormer Dynamite Sound, get gettin' down.

This is balanced by the championing of hiphop, insights to the creative process and philosophical musings on life. There's even an imagined film soundtrack.

The album, entitled A Work Of Heart is produced and predominantly written by Ty. The sounds are a mixture of crisp, bouncy production, live instrumentation and vivid and entertaining lyrics. Featured guests include OG Rootz (formerly Durrty Goodz), Tall Black Guy, John Robinson, Wayne Francis (United Vibrations) and the legendary Umar Bin Hassan of the Last Poets to name a few.

In response to this, south London rapper Big Toast has teamed up with beat making duo Ill Move Sporadic to produce a misanthropic musical manifesto in album form entitled You Are Not Special -  the ninth release from London based label Starch Records.

Since the 80s, rampant individualism has been promoted through every aspect of our culture to create a zeitgeist of self-absorbed banality. In response to this, south London rapper Big Toast has teamed up with beat making duo Ill Move Sporadic to produce a misanthropic musical manifesto in album form entitled You Are Not Special -  the ninth release from London based label Starch Records.

Combining crunching, atmospheric, sample-based backdrops, Ill Move Sporadic have upped their game a good few notches since their last release Panic Room 9, which took the scene (and BBC 6 Lauren Laverne) by storm last year. True to form Ill Move sporadic bring their trademark sound - a sound built on an obvious love of Hip Hop and beat making but also on classic out board equipment like EMU and AKAI - original breaks and rugged basslines tear through every track setting the tone for the album. Sparse crunchy samples, instrumental stabs and tightly chopped loops provide Toast with the perfect soundscape to deliver his sharp, sarcastic social commentary, something Ill Move Sporadic specialize in. 

Big Toast doesn't hold back commenting on modern life as he sees it. Subjects vary from the gentrification of London to his passionate hate of the Tories. He holds no bars, an outpouring of frustration delivered in a comedic and musical way but with heavy hitting, thought provoking undertones.

You Are Not Special, the antidote to the vacuous self-centeredness of modern music.

Die Berlin Dateien is the first fully instrumental Hip-Hop album by Aver, the chief producer of The Natural Curriculum (TNC) outta Manchester.

Created whilst living in Berlin, Aver developed the 16 tracks as part of an attempt to evolve traditional sample use with more complex rhythms and off beat drum breaks. The album features scratching and beatbox by fellow members of TNC and is overlaid with German language vocals that provide an abstract narrative to further embellish the dream-like, somewhat dystopian nature of the album.

An all instrumental and self-titled affair from Rift Valley, aka DJ Drinks, full of distilled breaks and thick layers courtesy of the 1990s-era Emu Systems samplers. Recorded and mixed throughout 2016, and meticulously laid back to BASF 468 Master tape on a Revox B77. It doesn't get much better than is, smooth yet hard as nails. Great artwork too. 

Calculus & Lizard Brain aka The Pangeans bring the Wheel Up label to us, here they produce ark anthemic horns colliding with a bouncing steppers rhythm and a deep bass and synth landscape, which Brother Culture rides to perfection calling for unity in the face of the rise of the political far right. Recorded before the UK election was announced and in the wake of various global political shifts. Reaching out to humanity. On the flip is a spaced out stomper ready for your mic man to bless up or to just let the instruments hold the vibes.

We Stay True is proud to present a brand new project... The Artform. A collaboration between two unique and very talented hip-hop artists: Confucius MC & Mr Brown.

Both with a shared passion for art, film, manga/anime and Hip Hop they blended it all together to create The Artform. Mr Brown showcases his classic sense of groove and masterful use of samples and produces a solid mixture of unique beats. Confucius' intelligent lyrics and superb flow combine perfectly with the beats to make a riveting and dynamic collection of songs. Thematically built on their shared interests the album examines the nature of art and the role of the artist in a subtle and conscious manner, stimulating the brain as well as the ears. UK Hip Hop legend Jehst was drafted in for the only feature on the project, adding his unmistakable lyricism to the track The Art-Form Pt.2 and helping out with some post/executve production 
work to complete the project.

With 7 tracks in total The Artform is necessary listening for anyone who likes well-produced, intelligently written, thought-provoking modern Hip Hop.

*The vinyl release is a limited edition of 250 copies on frosted vinyl with exclusive instrumentals, plus a 20 page booklet featuring artwork, lyrics, stickers and digital download*

Ride The Samples is a project that pays tribute to some of the original songs that - thanks to sampling - later became the building blocks of world-famous Hip Hop classics. 

Hearing these 8 famously sampled Soul classics re-arranged in a Reggae style reveals how Soul and Reggae are deeply interconnected. When the first sound systems were born in Jamaica, they used to play a lot of R&B and Soul tunes from the states, the melodies and sounds of which, went on to influence the new wave of Jamaican music from Ska, to Rocksteady and then Reggae. 

In a similar way we find parallel influences in the States, where - in late 70's Bronx - newly born Hip Hop was deeply influenced by Jamaican immigrants with their street art of 'dee-jaying' (or 'toasting') over instrumental riddims.

Ride The Samples is our way of keeping this powerful mix of genres together, celebrating the original Soul samples on which world-famous Hip Hop classics are based.

Expertly produced utilising traditional analogue equipment and instrumentation by Italian born, now London based Ambassa, with London born and bred singer and soulstress Nichola Richards on vocals. The result is a mind blowing excursion into Hip Hop's Soul... with a Reggae twist. Fully recommended.

Lead track 44th Floor - produced by Doctor Zygote of Strange U - comes midway through the record’s narrative arc and finds protagonist Billy at breaking point; “feeling like my life’s a major fail, standing on the platform waiting for British Rail”. A healthy dose of realism flows throughout the whole set, with Jehst's razor sharp commentary on current life and times complimented by the production onboard.

The record is executive produced by Beat Butcha and features production from Jehst himself, Paul White, Beat Butcha, Zygote, Jyager, Beatnick Dee & DJ Finyl, plus guest vocals by Kashmere (Strange U), Confucius MC, Jyager, Olah Bliss, Eric Biddines and Ennio Lion, plus cuts from Mr Thing.

This heavyweight double EP is Dubkasm's typically forward-thinking tribute to soundsystem dub, and the hardware that shaped it. Named after the Soundtracs CM4400 console in the duo's Bristol studio (and with artwork based on the original 1986 manual), sides A & B are deep, brooding synth instrumentals, showcased at the Deep Medi Boiler Room set, and reminiscent of greats like Dread & Fred and Sound Iration. Sides C & D feature very special remixes by Leeds digital legends Iration Steppas, with an extra remix of Dubkasm's killer 10" No Retreat. The second 12" is unmistakably the work of Mark Iration: filled with growling filter bass and siren-like keyboards, Year 3000 style! A more fitting pairing for these tunes is hard to imagine.

Mastered onto 1/2" tape at Stardelta Studios, pressed on 180g vinyl, and run exclusively by Dubkasm and Iration across the globe, these tunes are already soundsystem killers.

Some of the most outstanding contributions on Mungo’s Hi Fi multi-artist projects have come from Ipswich lyricist YT, so it was only a matter of time before they collaborated on a full album together.

The theme is real, undiluted reggae music. YT and Mungo's share a passion for the often overlooked 80's rub-a-dub and early dancehall sound and the stripped down riddim tracks allow YT's strong, melodic delivery and intelligent lyrics to take centre stage. YT doesn’t flinch from life’s harsh realities and tough questions, yet he is also sufficiently well-grounded to breathe new fire into staple topics like sound clash and ghetto romance.

He also spars with two of the greatest dancehall singers, in Johnny Osbourne and Little John, over music laid with the help of Prince Fatty to add that analogue rub-a-dub flavour. The result is an album that salutes the foundation and its continued relevance in modern dances today.

MC Loire from Manchester hooked up with DJ Sheik from Hull in 1992 via a mutual friend, and together they formed Hearts of Darkness. After two 12" releases on the Ruf label in '94 & '95, a track on the Ruf Diamonds LP in '98, and a track on our own Mind The Gap tape in '98, that was it, this elite duo faded into obscurity, until now!

Stanley Kubrick was a master of the hidden narrative, a virtuoso of subtext and composition with an obsessive attention to detail. 

Executively produced and heavily scored by iconic MC/producer Jehst, Stig Of The Dump's latest album Kubrick is a story rife with gritty comedy and honest tragedy. What begins as a braggadocio-laden rap album effortlessly plot twists into an open and poetic autobiography; a story arc reflected in the continually developing soundtrack. The script bursts with geeky film references, dexterous wordplay and poignant story telling, while the musical backdrop morphs seamlessly between classic boom-bap and left-field, spaced-out glitch-hop.

A movie for the blind - "Press play and then smoke until it's all gone Kubrick"

Stanley Kubrick was a master of the hidden narrative, a virtuoso of subtext and composition with an obsessive attention to detail.

Executively produced and heavily scored by iconic MC/producer Jehst, Stig Of The Dump’s latest album Kubrick is a story rife with gritty comedy and honest tragedy. What begins as a braggadocio-laden rap album effortlessly plot twists into an open and poetic autobiography; a story arc reflected in the continually developing soundtrack. The script bursts with geeky film references, dexterous wordplay and poignant story telling, while the musical backdrop morphs seamlessly between classic boom-bap and left-field, spaced-out glitch-hop.

A movie for the blind - "Press play and then smoke until it's all gone Kubrick” 

Art Over Money, Love Over Everything.

Look is a 6 track instrumental project by Pings & Mr Brown. All the tracks have been created by sampling a multitude of cover versions of a well-known song from the late 60’s. The initial idea for the project came about when the two producers over the years exchanged beats they had created from different versions of the song. This resulted in a perfect concept for a record.

Graphic design and visuals play a vital role in all KingUnderground releases and this project is no exception. It has been influenced by jazz record sleeves from the 60’s - 70’s, in which, instead of showing the artist on a graphically designed album cover, they used wildlife, shadows, geometric shapes and other great photographs. This deliberately created contrasts and worked with and against the grain of the album titles. In other words, these album covers made you ‘look’.

Limited edition of 250 copies.
