The #MarcusNastyShow Edition 1
EXCLUSIVE
Audiophile XXL
Marcus nasty: The man, the myth, the legend. A pivotal figure behind the emergence of Grime and UK Funky sounds, there is no one better placed to compile and present a comprehensive collection of the latest evolutions of the House & Garage sound. Curiously enough, the package drops on Dallas imprint Audiophile XXL, as Americas biggest dance music Europhiles the Texans constantly have their ear to the ground and are no strangers to good old fashioned British basslines! Superabound with dance floor ammunition and A-list names, it is an all killer no filler collection. Wittyboy & Tengu hook up on "Bioshock" with a bassline so harsh it will leave you with a sore throat. LR Groove drifts into more traditional tech-house territory on epic track "The Journey". Brent Kilner rattles he ribcage with a 2017 take on the Sheffield Niche nightclub sound. There are too many standout tracks to mention and in all honesty we have a lot of music to focus on but we would seriously rinse this day and night for the next fortnight if we could.
King Hydra
Tear Up The Dance
EXCLUSIVE
Hot Cakes Bass
Brighton's young and impressive King Hydra is feeling fresh, and probably a but smug, after that recent debut for the mighty Project Allout, meaning that he's ready to kick some arse with this new two-tracker for Hot Cakes Bass! "Tear Up The Dace" features the hip-hop vocalism of Skilf on the groove, but Hydra's own construction is built around garage drums and grime-facing baselines; "Ain't For You" sees the artist team up with Won't for another fast-moving, percussion-armed garage mutant with some freaky levels of bass.
DS1
Lost Files Vol 1
EXCLUSIVE
Project Allout
We're pretty sure that DS1 has been up to some amazing things under different aliases over the years, because the last appearance from this artist came about all the way back in a foggy 2012! Project Allout is the label to reignite this neat little moniker, and they've done exactly the right thing by recruiting this talented producer. The crossover between genres here is ridiculous, and this EP takes the term 'hybrid' to new and intangible proportions. "Addicted Remix" wobbles its mutant bass over a fast-moving garage stepper, and much the same goes for the even more bubbly ups and downs of "Everything Remix", except here we're faced with some suave soul vocals for added emotion. "I Need You Bad" is the gnarliest of the lot; those noxious blasts of bass burst out of all angles, backed by a tonne of subbass, and some seductive female vocals recalling the best of the early 00s era.
Petey Clicks
VA 2 LA
Night Bass
If there's one thing we can all agree on it's this: Petey Clicks needs to release music on much more of a regular then he currently does. These two jacking bass house tracks remind us exactly why... "VA To LA" slides us some gully gossip in the form of a grunting high end bassline and a clattering groove that bites down and refuses to let go. "Awake" takes us deeper down the rave rabbit hole with a classically-informed detuned synth riff, a twisted two-step and an amenised breakdown that's heavy enough to power a time machine (1.21 gigawatts) and take us all the way back to 92. Woke yet?
Leda Stray
All 4 Nothing
RKS Dubz
Leda Stray is absolutely crushing the bass game right now. From Punks to Hot Cakes Bass to Broken to New Movement to Roska Kicks & Snares in the space of a year... His remarkable rise suggests he's not quite the freshman we're leda to believe. His chiselled spacious sonics suggest seasoned sonic skills too - roomy but vibey, hazy but heavy and consummately (UK) funky, "All 4 Nothing" adds to his impeccable (and swiftly developing) body of work.

Ralston
Choose One
Bass=Win
Ralston isn't exactly a fledgling artist anymore; his music has been getting plenty of attention from the right kind of circles, and each new release sees the producer mature in both style and ideas. This new EP for Bass=Win is spear-headed by the excellent "Choose One", a garage banger with a subtle jungle sensibility, and this is followed by the equally magnificent, albeit more aggressive tones of "Pump Up". "Twilight Zone" has that inimitable UK garage swing, but it's a house track through and through, supported by a bouncier, more bass-fuelled VIP mix. BIG!
Rico Tubbs
Ghost Rider
Bass=Win
Much like his namesake, Finland's bass underdog, Rico Tubbs, proves that he packs just as much of a punch Don Johnson in Miami Vice, and then some. Here he references more American culture with Ghost Rider, the flaming skeleton biker. However, it's less retro America and more sweaty UK warehouse - fusing hands-in-air piano stabs with gurgling low basslines and skippy beats. Dr Cryptic's mix perfectly captures that gurn-fest moment when it feels like the sky is literally attacking you. Elsewhere Thijs Haal delivers the hardest mix here, whilst Ampr drops to half time for some robo dubstep fun.
Rico Tubbs
Babylon Fall
Bass=Win
Finnish Anglophile Rico Tubbs' love affair with the ravey sounds of '90s UK is still sizzling, with "Babylon Fall" incorporating lots of the best elements of British rave fom the last 20 years. The title track is a rolling 4 x 4 goliath, full of heavy bass, filtered rave keyboard stabs and pitched up vocals. Elsewhere we get hyper dubby breaks (Slick Shoota mix), retro speed garage (Jack The Hustler mix) and a totally mental wobble assault courtesy of Phatworld's mix.
Rico Tubbs
The Return
Bass=Win
Although named after a cop in Miami Vice, Rico Tubbs actually hails from the decidedly less sunkissed Finland. He's been rocking raving electro tunes for nearly ten years now, and he's back again with a new bass-fuelled anthem, "The Return". It's a hyper collage of 4x4, bassline, wobble, garage and '90s samples - in other words proper dancefloor ammunition. Remixes come from the Ed Banger-style TJH87, the deep and dark bassline of Kepikei and the cut up party chaos of Kraymer.

Big Bad Tune/Red Sun
Bass=Win
You know those really stompy 4/4 bass tunes that could have easily been produced since 2005 and always work on the dancefloor? This. Strutting speed garage drums, a paranoid bassline that rises and rises without a care for your sanity and cheeky vocal chops ensure this Finnish creation's golden bullet status. Hey, it's not called "Big Bad Tune" for no reason. Remix-wise Matt Craig softens the blow just a tad for groove's sake while Teknian & ZeroZero and 1point5 lay down rubs of "Red Sun". The former deliver a crisp D&B refix, the latter go all My Nu Leng with a heads-down warpy house twist. Badness.
