Various Artists - Sub Slayers 50
In 2009, Jay Cunning launched Sub Slayers with a vision to fuse various styles of Bass music to create a new and forward thinking record label. The first release was by High Ranking back in October ‘09 while Jay was on Kiss FM and resident for Ram Records at The End. Over the following years Sub Slayers help forge and shape part of the Bass music scene we know today.
L Plus - Avenger (Hideout Sampler 2) [Technique Recordings]
The storm clouds are gathering. We’ve already been given a glimpse of what L Plus has to ffer on his forthcoming album Hideout with the huge Timelapse and Creature Must Die. Just to make sure we’re fully prepared for the immensity of what this ambitiously epic producer has in store, though, here’s another taste.
Caspa & Rusko - EP 1 [Sub Soldiers]
It’s the EP we’ve been waiting for. Three tracks of fresh fire from two of UK bass music’s most infamous partnerships: Caspa & Rusko. This one’s been bubbling since they announced their reunion last Autumn.

It hasn't taken long for Alerstorm and Ice Stereo to establish their neuro-tinged Gradual guise as one of Technique Recordings' heavy hitters. Having introduced themselves to the label with some dark and techy flavours, they were last seen on the Summer 2016 compilation bringing the more sunlit vibe of “Falling Pieces”.
Drumsound & Bassline Smith - I'm Gone feat. BullySongs [Technique Recordings]
We've barely recovered from the sun-scorched assault of Technique's Summer 2016 album, and yet, already, there's more Drumsound & Bassline Smith material for us to get our ears around. Proving they've got too much fire for one label to contain, their recent excursions on Playaz and Function Records have been setting raves alight, and now they're back on their home turf.
Various Artists - Technique Summer 2016
The cover art proudly proclaims Technique's Summer 2016 album to be “100% Drum and Bass”. You might be forgiven for thinking that begs more questions that it answers. There's a huge breadth and versatility encompassed within the genre. So, you're left asking, what particular flavour of D&B are we talking about? Well, to answer your query, pretty much all of them.
T>I - Circuits EP (Part 1) [Serial Killaz Recordings]
T>I, one of a handful of producers responsible for bringing raw 90’s vibes back to drum & bass without following the same old route of ‘back to the old school’. Championed by DJ Hype and DJ Rap, T>I has already had a huge amount of hits on the underground and his latest pending releases under Serial Killaz will be no exception.
Potential Badboy feat Demolition Man & Show Stevens - Revolution Remixes [Playaz]
Let get one thing straight; 2015 was a big year for Potential Badboy.
