First up, there's some classic vintage soul vibes on the slinkily smooth sounds of Royal, which first appeared as a free download on Valentines Day last year. The inimitable vocals of Tyler Daley saunter atop a truly regal break on this essential slow jam - perfect quiet storm business.

On the flip, a more contemporary jam sitting somewhere in the cracks between neo-soul, new jack swing and hip hop, as CoZ do so well, on the uplifting new year, new mantra of Get What's Yours, which previously appeared on First Word Records' free annual compilation Two Syllables. A future anthem, for sure.

2020 is set to be another busy year for Konny Kon & Tyler Daley. As they continue to rock shows across the globe, they are busily working on their second official album, set to land before the year is out.

Please note, neither of these tracks will appear on any album in the future, and will ONLY be available on this very limited edition dinked 7" single. Don't get royally left behind, make sure you get what's yours.

Yogi Beats returns to the fore with a brand new collection of beats, shining a spotlight on the broad array of sounds and styles he encompasses within his production. Jellystoned Park follows on from the success of last year’s innovative visual mixtape collaboration, alongside rapper and fellow Played Out artist, JPDL. That project gave the world a fine insight into the talent that Yogi possesses, but this latest production showcase is a more definitive exploration of his approach to beat making.

Weighing in at 19 tracks, the album is a sample driven trip through Yogi’s musical universe, where we find the Cheltenham based producer drawing on a wealth of influences to craft each beat. For example, on Who Has The Time?, Yogi flips a Con Funk Shun sample, breathing new life into the 70’s classic, and on Got Til It’s Gone, we hear the distinctive tones of Bojack Horseman blended into crisp drums and wonky keys, while Jonie Mitchell and Q-Tip vocal samples float through the background.

As well as the instrumental joys of Jellystoned Park, there is also a bonus track, which offers a live version of What If?, featuring JPDL and another long term collaborator, Griz-O, plus some exquisite cuts from DJ Slaazninjah.

(Please note, this is a coloured vinyl pre-order, due for shipping 20th April, tbc)

Green & Gold is the second collaborative release from Mr Key & Greenwood Sharps, the long awaited follow up to their critically acclaimed 2015 album Yesterday's Futures. The record was written and recorded between Greenwood Sharps' cottage in the verdant English countryside and the off grid Finca in the foothills of the Andalusian Sierra Nevada, Spain where Key is based.

Yesterday's Futures took the listener on a meandering journey through a vast landscape of moods, sounds and ideas, leading ultimately to redemption and the possibility of resolution. Thematically, Green & Gold picks up where Yesterday's Futures left off, but structurally it takes the opposite tack; an extended exploration of a single ubiquitous idea: universal love for all things and all people and the challenge of maintaining these shiny ideals in day to day life, as our cynical side reasserts itself.

In a troubled and busy world, marred with anxieties and uncertainties, Green & Gold comes as a breath of fresh air and offers some valuable food for thought for those searching for real heart felt substance rather than the sanitised, individualised & commodified norm we have all become accustomed to.

Producer, beatmaker and inter dimensional boombap specialist Percy Filth returns with a brand new project Vibranium Deluxe. Percy's last project (Stank Nebula) was a smashing collab of rap/neo-soul with vocalist Greg Blackman, after taking a couple years out to reload the sonic weaponary and rip up clubs/festivals with beat sets up and down the country and across Europe, he's back with a splendid return to form 8 track project.

Utilizing unique ultra swung out glitchy drums and his trademark outerspace sonics Percy occupies a custom built lane that services traditional rap purists, die hard boombap fans and everything in and around the spectrum of instrumental hip hop.

Oak Dreams is the third collaborative release from London-based lyricist Benny Diction and Melbourne producer Able8, following their Spring EP and Life Moves album. The seeds of the project were sown one August, when Benny chose to swap the English summer for the Australian winter and essentially move in with Able for a month.

Between shows, tram rides and copious bowls of laksa, the pair set about putting together their third release. The process was different from previous projects as working in the same physical space facilitated a more direct dialogue between them, allowing Benny to have more input on production.

Although they initially had more fresh recordings, they eventually eschewed quantity for quality to narrow it down to these 6 tunes.

The EP begins with Connected, Benny’s opening bar serving as a concise comment on his climatical exchange at the time: ‘It’s scarves in August, so we warm it up’. This then segues into Round Again, where he delivers a double-time flow over a Wurlitzer-driven trap instrumental, concluding with the closing line: ‘In this short life, I spread love, knowing in due time, it comes round again’.

This is followed by FFWD, where Benny is joined by Perth-based emcee Mathas to analyse the advancements that have been made in society, along with the advantages and disadvantages that they entail. Benny’s focus is technology, whilst Mathas’ is medicine. The EP then takes a break from the vocal tunes with the haunting instrumental track All Year Round, again revisiting the ideas of seasons and cycles introduced earlier on.

The following tune, Oak Dreams, on which the EP is based, finds Benny drawing parallels between the growth of trees from seeds and the creative process, bringing thoughts and ideas to fruition and manifesting them in reality, inspired after Able sent Benny the euphoric, uplifting instrumental of the same name. The project then concludes with closing track On Balance, where Benny exchanges bars with longtime collaborator MNSR Frites about the proverbial plate spinning they perform as part and parcel of London living.

Oak Dreams also features cuts from veteran turntablists Rasp and Sugai, as well as contributions from musician friends who bring live flute, saxophone and guitar to the mix. Benny even plays keys on a couple of tunes!

While Anyway Tha God, one half of the Jones Brothers with Joker Starr, flows hard over Amplified Science. Messiah Hybrids showcases the duo delivering what they do best, a conscious straight-up hip-hop banger. 

Firmamentum covers topics of madness, slavery, the rise of A.I., false Gods, the transmutation of matter, Joker Starr elaborates, "I will always talk about different modes of creation, God, Spiritual beliefs and theories. Firmamentum touches on a bunch of theories ranging from flat earth to aliens". King Kashmere adds, "production-wise, the sort of psychedelic vibe is something it just grew into... it's pretty interesting how art can grow and shape context over time".

The album is at times light-hearted and humourous and at others bleak and dark, with subject matter ranging from the simple joy of a shot of espresso or a slice of cake to struggles with mental health and despair at the current political landscape. Actual Cake is a soulful and often psychedelic jaunt that serves a fresh slice of contemporary life in austerity Britain.

After lending a couch to sleep on during the sun soaked days of last summer, Illiterate decided to team up with the likes of (then) sofa bound Vitamin G. The result of this collaboration came to fruition in the appropriately named LP Illitamin G, a healthly slice of smooth synths and neck cracking production laced with some lyrical boom shots. It's a perfect team up, the vibes are fully evident. Guests also include CW Jones, Wundrop, Nuphzed & Cutta Chase. The soundtrack to a sunny summer, proper feeling this one. Top marks.

Claiming Montreal as his new home town, Brussels-born Senz Beats has been building an impressive body of work with underground veterans from both coasts of the US (Dave Dub, Megabusive, Lex Boogie From the Bronx...) and beyond. Cappo, Nottingham's very own veteran MC, needs no introduction having already made waves at home and abroad with his impeccable string of solo albums as well as his work with the Nottingham super group VVV.

Here, Senz Beats and Cappo join forces to present a stark reminder of where humanity is headed if we continue to place our values in capitalist ideals. The raw, driving energy of the beat offers the perfect backdrop for Cappo to deliver his warning to those caught up in the materialistic rat-race: the tidal wave is close approaching. Four experts in their field offer up remixes of this epic track too. Boot Records very own Jazz-T (Jehst, Lee Scott, J-Zone...), ex-Def Jux engineer and artist Uncommon Nasa (Vast Aire, Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif...), Lex Boogie From The Bronx (Marq Spekt, Rass Kass, Vordul Mega...), and R.E.D.A. (Insight, Main Flow, M. Sayyid...) each giving this track their own distinctive flavour to devastating effect.

Lastly, on the bonus track Fool's Gold, J Lawson echos Cappo's Tidal Wave warnings concerning lusting after riches at the expense of everything else, also produced by Senz Beats. One of the few remaining songs from over 2 years of collaboration roughly 10 years ago, this song has stood the test of time and is ready and eager to be presented to the world.

The Zeus pickney return with a 7-track collection of tracks, five appearing on vinyl for the very first time, along with a double-header of remixes from Zed Bias, previously only released on a limited edition 10". This is an assortment of cuts plucked from the trio of full-length releases from 2017-2018; the afore-mentioned LP Travel Light, the loosies compilation The Story So Far, and the mixtape The Winter Tape. 

An edit of the feel-good, heads-down bruk track Vibrations sets off the EP, produced by K15, before we get into Zed Bias' take on proceedings with his UKG dancefloor smasher from late last Summer, followed by Zed's heavy remix of the first single from Travel Light, Slow Down. 

The flipside begins with two of the standout cuts from The Winter Tape; 10 Toes features Mancunian newcomer HMD on the hook, whilst Konny Kon & Tyler Daley trade bars on some future soul sci-fi boom bap. This is followed by the ethereal R&B stepper Ghost; a bit of a fabled Tyler Daley fan favourite from the archives. 

Next, the track that effectively bridged the gap from The Story So Far to Travel Light, the Sunset Version of the anthemic No Sunshine Tomorrow, before we get into the killer quiet storm closer, I Want You, aka the slow jam that wasn't on the original Story So Far vinyl EP. 

This EP is a snapshot of Tyler & Konny's various projects over the course of the past year or so, and exemplifies the eclectic approach they've become known for within their own unique pocket of Hip Hop and Soul, which has rightly seen Children of Zeus garner acclaim from a variety of DJs, fans and artists alike. New music ready when it's ready, but for now, here's another essential piece of Zeus wax for the collection.

Remulak Presents: Scrambled Eggs, a collection of instrumentals that were recently found on one of his old hard drives in storage collecting dust. The original tracks were made back in 2001-2003, when Remulak was experimenting with the primitive Fruity Loops 3.0, Soundforge 5.0 and a pile of records from the charity shops. These tracks have now been given a new lease of life in his current weapon of choice, the Maschine MK3.

Adam and Cuth are back with their second full length project following up from their critically acclaimed 2015 album Formwork. Adam aka Adam Kammerling aka Adam the Rapper provides the words. Cuth aka Cuth provides the beats. The formula hasn’t changed much, there are raps and there are beats, but the sonic palette has expanded. Drawing diverse soundscapes from psychedelic rock to lounge jazz to hungarian folk. The album is at times light-hearted and humourous and at others bleak and dark, with subject matter ranging from the simple joy of a shot of espresso or a slice of cake to struggles with mental health and despair at the current political landscape. Actual Cake is a soulful and often psychedelic jaunt that serves a fresh slice of contemporary life in austerity Britain.

Soul Jazz Records are proud to present this new collection of music from the great Fashion Records, one of the most important and iconic independent Reggae labels to come out of the UK, running from 1980 for nearly 20 years. In that time Fashion released hundreds of records that successfully reflected - and indeed set - the changing styles and perspectives of Reggae music in the UK, from UK Dancehall and Lovers Rock in the 1980s through to the mighty rise of Jungle in the second half of the 1990s.

While nearly all other UK Reggae labels focused on releasing Jamaican music, from the early days of Island and Trojan in the 1960s, through Island and Virgin in the 1970s and Greensleeves that came up in the 1980s, Fashion’s focus was firmly on music produced in the UK. This unique British perspective shaped both lyrical content and musical fashion. And like all the great music labels, from Studio One to Blue Note, Fashion was able to create a significant roster of its own artists.

Amazingly for a small independent label, a number of Fashion artists achieved mainstream UK chart and crossover success, including Laurel & Hardy, Smiley Culture and General Levy. But although this success was welcomed, crossing over into the mainstream was never the main focus for label owners Chris Lane and John McGillivray (who also runs the successful Dub Vendor record shop), whose starting point was always primarily focused on producing quality music first.

In the early 1980s, Fashion Records captured the rise of the emerging British Dancehall scene in its ascendency. The large roster of first generation British-born artists and MCs on the label, including General Levy, Papa Face, Smiley Culture, Bionic Rhona, Asher Senator, Laurel & Hardy, Top Cat and many more, often gave a unique and sometimes humorous British lyrical perspective to Fashion releases, discussing everyday subjects, from police harassment to road safety.

Throughout much of the 1980s and into the 1990s Fashion continued to release an almost relentless array of UK Dancehall releases as well as continuing with Lovers Rock and the occasional Dub releases. Then, in the mid-90s, with the Dancehall and Reggae releases still coming on strong, Fashion released a superb series of early Jungle tracks linking Jamaican and British MCs and dancehall artists with young Jungle mixers, remixers and producers. By this time dancehall artists General Levy and Cutty Ranks had become the staple vocal samples of literally hundreds of white label Jungle records and Fashion took advantage of this, often getting young producers to work in exchange for sample clearances.

This album is a subjective and scatter-gun ride through some of the many unique and heavyweight tracks to come out of the Fashion stable - some classics, some lesser-known, all 100% killer.

Onoe Caponoe is a true individual in a sea full of clones. A truly unique voice, hailing from an unknown area of London, that rises above the endless conveyor belt cacophony of ‘road rap’, ‘drill’, ‘trap’, ‘grime’, ‘mumble rappers’, ‘cloud rap’, ’underground rappers’ etc… Onoe carves out his own corner of the galaxy that is truly his own amidst a sea of noise that sadly, all sound the same. Having refined his vision through years of painstaking experimentation, Onoe has travelled to realms most rappers would never dream of going.

The road less travelled is the norm for trailblazing artists like Onoe, a real risk taker and fearless creative. Surf Or Die, is the definitive ONOE CAPONOE album, a relentless tirade of unapologetic bangers from the OTHER side. BEWARE! 

Surf Or Die comes in 2xLP with a full colour sleeve (designed by Onoe himself) fully shrink wrapped for extra freshness.

A very very dope set and sound, with DRS taking it into a more soulful arena, lacing each joint with a staggering display of impeccably sung hooks each connecting the reflective lyrics in fine style, laid clean over Pitch's amazing productions. This truly is a gem of an album, and as the title suggests, he digs deep lyrically. A very consistant rotation. Don't sleep.

Blah Records are proud to announce the return of one of UK rap's more infamous duos, as Mcabre Brothers get ready to smash 2019 in the face with their long-awaited fourth project.

The cult duo follow on from the successes of their first three releases with a brand new EP, Tell A Friend. Drawing on the same chemistry that united them way back in the halcyon days of 2009, Lee Scott and Milkavelli have stamped this new project with all the hallmarks of their since-evolved sound and style. For this project they have called in some veteran UK talent as Universal Soldier and all round beat god, A.H Fly, is drafted in to handle the full production. Alongside his input, there are also features from fellow Blah boys, Salar and Black Josh.

Soundbites will be released nearer the release of the digital version... tbc

Known as the 1st MC to fully use the English accent mixed with Yardie, to make it more distinctly an African thing, is GreenCryptoKnight, formerly known as Bionic from the Human Beatbox Sipho Jozana's group London Posse alongside Rodney P and DJ Biznizz. Sipho left the group early and Bionic retired a few years later. 

In the following years he continued to make music, producing his own tracks just to stay match fit but with no intentions to release anything. That was until Jan 2018 when DJ Jazz T sent him a track he had done along with producer Dr Zygote 10 years earlier called Superlover (the first word in the chorus). The tune was a banger and as he now went by the name GreenCryptoKnight he decided the tune should be renamed Superman (the last word in the chorus). He knew it was time for the resurrection after that career death at age 33. 

Now back better stronger faster Bionicman (BionicAsar) has been rebuilt on positive settings to do was he was made for and release music infused with love and intelligence. 

The 12" is pressed on transparent green vinyl and has full colour artwork by Ronny Oner.

The bonafide bad man producer 184 links Big Toast with an array of incredible soundscapes to let loose his social commentary over.

Acrylic Snail is the fifth album from Dirty Dike. Following a three-year hiatus since his last solo outing Sucking On Prawns In The Moonlight and after a ream of production work for the likes of Rag N Bone Man (Put That Soul On Me), Ocean Wisdom (Chaos 93) and Lee Scott (Butter Fly) during that time, Dike is back with a brand new 14-track album; his most personal release to date and a body of work that shines a full-beam-floodlight on his formative years, but moreover, the dreamlike transition between then and now.

Firmly anchored in a chapter of the UK underground before everything went to shit, situated a couple behind this current grizzly chapter, the songs bounce off the walls of abandoned industrial estates and whoosh by at breakneck speeds like trains through tunnels. The album embodies the freezing cold concrete pours, twilight toe slaps and irregularly shaped ballast banks of the network. In short, Acrylic Snail pays homage to the things Dike saw in the very farthest reaches of night that made him who he is today.

Featuring a roster of guests vocalists (Rag N Bone Man, Jam Baxter, Lee Scott, Dabbla, Leaf Dog, Eva Lazarus, Jman, Ronnie Bosh, Inja, Killa P, Foreign Beggars) and production from a team of music makers (including Dike himself) Acrylic Snail is an AAA invitation to Dirty Dike’s playground and further cements his hard-earned status as one of UKHH's greatest torchbearers.

DJ Vadim returns to the Dubcatcher kitchen to super hero fight more babylon baddies with his new army of cohorts. Dancehall digital reggae sits alongside Hip Hop, Rap and Bass music. This isn't just a re-hash of Studio 1 or some sort of Trap Reggae or Drill hybrid Road Rap. This is a futuristic re-working from a revamped and relocated Vadim (London to Barcelona).

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.

'Life In The Flesh is a conceptual album primarily focused on the cycle of life, death & reincarnation of the spirit/soul. Everything that happens in the middle is what makes us who we are. All of our decisions and choices shape and mould our futures in this life and possibly even the next. Through experiences and observations of my own life I have crafted this album. It was recorded as a reminder that life is a test, and although we are faced with many societal and worldly obstacles, some of the hardest and most important to overcome are the ones in our minds...' -Coops

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.

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)

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.

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.

This hard hitting thematic masterpiece draws influence from the classic horror film Friday The 13th and its legendary hockey mask wearing murderous villain, Jason Vorhees. Badbonez pulls no punches as he adopts the character of ‘Jason Bonez’ and proceeds to lacerate, decapitate & mutilate everything in his path over equally gritty production courtesy of long time collaborators Jazz T & Dr Zygote (Strange U) as well as UK production veterans Wizard, Nutty P, Jetsun & Mark Fear Beats. Comprising of 9 blistering tunes, Jason Bonez is not for the faint hearted, taking the term ‘hardcore’ to new levels whilst maintaining the skill and high standards we have come to expect from this top tier emcee.

Limited edition of 100 copies. Comes in a full colour card wallet.

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).

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.

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.
