If you know Born On Road well, then you’ll know we love a good wub. Hopefully you like them as much as us because our next release has plenty of them!

Introducing the Brazilian Acuna to our label for the first time with his brand new single “Don’t Stop” (Feat. MC Spyda). Formerly part of Critycal Dub, Acuna has been building up a solid catalogue of releases with slapping basslines on Chronic and V Recordings of late. You only have to listen to “Get High” with our family member A Little Sound to hear the carnage an Acuna chorus can cause.

Linking up with the legendary MC Spyda – a man responsible for vocals on hits including “Balaclava” with SHY FX and D Double E and “All Ganja Man” with Serum – there’s no doubt in our minds that “Don’t Stop” is going to be certified anthem we hear throughout clubs and festivals this year.

Nick The Lot - Life Is A Journey

It may be a new year, but we’re kicking things off in the same fashion we ended 2022 – showcasing wicked new talents who are destined to light the scene up. Introducing Klimate to Born On Road, a young producer with a knack for making heavy basslines – the same ones you will have heard us dropping throughout 2022. We’re gassed to have him debuting on the label with his Rave Ting EP.

If you’re not familiar with Klimate, then these four tunes will give you a good sense of where the Surrey-born producer Is heading. From the naughty switches of “Rinseout” to the slick energy of the title track, Rave Ting is an EP encapsulating Born On Road’s love for productions that bring the heat in the rave.

Klimate - Rinseout - Out Now!

We told you Bennie was on a roll right now and we weren’t lying… We’ve only just had time to rest our trigger fingers after the chaos of his & Dread MC’s “One Gun Finger”, but now it’s time to get them fired up again as we have four more rave whoppers incoming from the man of the moment.

We’re ecstatic to present Bennie’s debut Born On Road EP, which is a gleaming showcase of the talent this young artist possesses. From the carnage of the bassline in “Mercenary” to the exotic sounds of “Blackbelt” to the hectic jungle breaks in “Goose Chase” with Ozone, this EP is testament to the attitude of new wave D&B producers like Bennie, who are capable of rolling out a wide range of styles in their production. It’s no surprise why Bennie was nominated for ‘Best Newcomer’ in Drum&BassArena’s 2022 awards – the first of many nominations we feel.

Bennie - Mercenary - Out Now!

Festival season is well and truly in full swing, so it’s only right to keep serving you bass shellers capable of lighting up any crowd. Our next release will do exactly that. Welcoming Rendah & Jakar to the label with something downright naughty. Two young, versatile artists who know how to create a hit (just look at Jakar’s bootleg of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu”), we couldn’t be more excited to bring them into the Born On Road fold with “Get Lonely”. This one’s coming in like a missile. But what did you expect? They are from Bristol after all…

Rendah & Jakar - Get Lonely - Out Now!

It has been one of Born On Road’s most beloved tunes yet – the kind of track that gets better with every taste – which is why we’re so gassed to bring “Couple Guinness” (ft. Suku) back for a third round. Introducing DJ Limited’s highly-anticipated remix of a label staple. This one packs an altogether different punch to the original and the VIP, which have racked up over 3 million streams combined, and lit up countless raves and festival dancefloors. But it still gives you just as much of a hearty, flavourful hit. This one’s served ice cold.

Selecta J-Man - Couple Guinness - DJ Limted Remix - Out Now!

“Lickshot”: A Profound Exploration of UK Gang Culture Through the Pulse of Drum and Bass.

In a powerful convergence of talent and artistry, Gray and Donae’O return to the music scene with their latest single, "Lickshot.”

"Lickshot" comes from conversations between Gray and Donae'o, sparking the realisation that there was a compelling story to be told about the world of gang culture. With a balance of observation and neutrality, the song paints a picture of the choices made within this lifestyle, shedding light on the motivations behind it, all while sharing a personal narrative from Donae’o, drawn from his own experiences. Sonically, the track melds darker melodies with elements like the Reese bass, intertwining the more organic sounds of steel drums and organs. This unique fusion bridges the worlds of Rave and Urban, two worlds not often associated but with shared historical roots.

The collaboration between Donae’o and Gray carries significant cultural weight, as Donae’o's influence on the music scenes he has touched upon is undeniable. Gray, on the other hand, boasts a rich history and deep understanding of the sonic intricacies that define Drum and Bass. Together, they form a formidable alliance, creating a breathtaking song that appeals to every facet of the scene.

Stay tuned for "Lickshot," a powerful anthem that transcends genres and delves into the heart of a social issue.

Gray & Donae'O - Lickshot - Out Now!

Today’s a big day for Born On Road. We welcome our 100th release on the label, and it couldn’t be more fitting for it to be Selecta J-Man - an artist who has been on this crazy, wonderful journey with us since the early days. 

Introducing “Rude Boy Ting" - a track you will have most likely thrown a gun finger or two at while watching Born On Road sets over summer. It’s a seriously rude whopper and it’s ready to blast sound systems far and wide.

Here’s to 100 more releases!

Selecta J-Man - Rudeboy Ting - Out Now!

We’re making a habit of featuring Diagnostix on Born On Road lately, and it’s for good reason – the boy can’t stop throwing whopping shellers our way! From his Favela Rave EP to “No Face No Case” with Gray and Ozone. Diagnostix’s latest single is another hefty production for the pile. “Malfunction” comes in hot ready to cause some chaos in the dance. If you’ve seen us play out lately, then you’ll know exactly what this tune can do.

Diagnostix - Malfunction - Out Now!

It’s always a good day when Selecta J-Man treats us to a new single, and this one is a bit of an early Christmas present. Say hello to his latest track “El Gato” – a dub we’ve been rinsing in our sets , and one you’ve been going nuts to in the crowds. Some serious weighty business right here capable of ripping up any dancefloor. But are you surprised? Selecta J-Man’s last release “Rudeboy Ting” is all the evidence you need of the man’s ability to craft a whopping bassline.

Selecta J-Man - El Gato - Out Now!

December is usually a time when everyone in the industry starts to wind down, but clearly Mandidextrous & Maddy V didn’t get the memo… Landing on Born On Road with our final single of the year, “Deep On This”, it’s a power link up combining Mandidextrous’s twisting basslines with Maddy V’s immense lyricism. Two artists who’ve both had big year’s respectively, this combo was always going to be a bit of a large Christmas gift. Slap it on your festive playlist for the family to enjoy.

Mandidextrous & Maddy V - Deep On This - Out Now!

We wanted to say a huge thank you for a great year. We have really felt the love and support in everything we've done and it's all down to you. As a small sign of our gratitude here is a free dub from the vault. Merry xmas and a great 2024 from the whole of Born On Road. X

There’s not many artists in the drum and bass scene who have managed to carve as unique of a sound as Refracta has. When you hear those beautiful bleeps and bloops, you know exactly who is behind the wonderous arrangement. His latest single is some of his finest work yet. From the dreamy, constantly evolving A-side “Slave to Sound” featuring the vocals of Sonzo, to the wicked half-time creativity of the B-side “You Make Me Feel Alive”, Refracta means business with this release. 

The last time he released on Born On Road was his Oxytocin EP back in 2021 – the place where his highest-streaming track “Diesel” originates from – so it’s about time Refracta rolled through Born On Road with some more of his magic. Trust us, this one’s large.

Refracta - You Make Me Feel Alive- Out Now!

The start of a new year inevitably brings many resolutions for change that are short lived. Well, we’re not about that at Born On Road. We’re going to start this year the same way we ended 2023 – with a fresh bassline to ignite the January dance. Our first release of the year comes courtesy of from Phibes – a duo we’ve been closely intertwined with over the years. “Man Come Back” is their new single, and it’s a bit of a whopper. The last time Phibes released on Born On Road was their “Just For Tonight” single back in 2022, so to see the boys back on the label with new music is pretty special. Happy New Year!

Phibes - Man Come Back - Out Now!

It’s always a beautiful day when Crossy drops off some new music at Born On Road HQ. The last time he did so was back in 2021 when he curated our Future Blends V/A album, providing us with the classic “Born On Road” anthem featuring the late Skibadee. While he may not have released often in the past, this year we’re going to see some exciting, consistent manoeuvres from Crossy – starting with the release of a new single. Featuring the vocals of Jman, and aptly titled “Detonation”, this single is destined to cause damage in the rave. Crossy loves a silly tune, pass it on.

Crossy Ft. Jman - Detonation - Out Now!

As we motor deeper into 2024, our long-standing ambition to support the up-and-coming talents of the scene will not be wavering in the slightest. If anything, you’re going to see more new blood on the label than ever this year. One of them is 4K. Gully basslines, delicate liquid rollers – 4K loves dipping his toes in at different ends of the D&B spectrum (and doing it with class). We showcased his ability to do exactly this when he released his Not 4 The Industry EP with us a year ago. Now he’s back on the label with new single “Look For Me” featuring the vocals of Conni. It’s fair to say this one is some serious 4K gold

4K & Conni - Look For Me - Out Now!

When two of Born On Road’s beloved family members link up, you know there’s only going to be one outcome – something beautiful. That’s exactly what Selecta J-Man and MC Spyda have cooked up with “Foundation Style”. Representing carnival sound system culture, this track is without doubt a feel good production with enough power to put a smile on anyone’s face. Weighty bassline, Spyda’s immense lyricism – what’s not to like?

Selecta J-Man & Spyda - Foundation Style - Out Now!

Ahead of his mighty 2 track release, Jenks presents this killer Promo Mix!

Jenks - Promo Mix

There are some majorly exciting up-and-coming names beginning to cause waves in drum and bass recently, and Jenks is undoubtedly one of them. We featured him on the label last March when his Rave Bands EP landed with an almighty punch, and now he’s back with a two-tracker. “Frequency / Chimes” provides two windows into the mind of a producer who’s as versatile as they come. The release follows on from Jenks having a breakthrough year in 2023 – securing big releases on Elevate Records with “Shotta” and  an “Allstars Mic” with Comma Dee on DnB Allstars.

Jenks - Chimes - Out Now!

Jenks - Frequency - Out Now!

This year Born On Road is going to be expanded its sprawling label family – introducing more faces to the label who don’t usually travel on road with us. This release is a perfect example. Welcoming Cliques & Eksman to the label with new single “Buried”. They may not have released on Born On Road before, but we’re sure many of you know exactly what they’re capable of. Surely you’ve heard Eksman’s “MHITR (Semi-Automatic)” lyrics donning the rave? Or maybe you came across Cliques’ “Stay With Me” single on Elevate Records last month. But if you’re not familiar, then all you’ve got to do is whack on this track and you’ll soon know… Ready, steady, bassline heavy. This one’s just a bit naughty. See you on the other side.

CLIQUES. & Eksman - Buried  - Out Now!

Bennie - Fifty Stacks - Out now!

Carpet Burn has entered the chat- Out Now!!

The third and final part of the Aries ''Jungle Style'' remix project is here and this package well and truly seals the deal with 10 multi-genre remixes coming from all different corners of the world. This is the final chapter to what has been an incredible project and we really couldn't think of a better way to sign it off than with these awesome cuts from some of our favourite producers right now.

Aries & Rahmanee feat. Gardna - On Road (Ben Snow Remix)- Clip

Gray has been making waves at Born On Road HQ since our 1st slightly bizarre meeting with him in a field in Winchester at a popular music festival in 2018. Though his roots run a lot deeper. He cut his teeth though the free party scene in his hometown of London proving he has the minerals whist effortlessly mixing between styles.

Since moving to Bristol he has fully submerged himself into the circuit growing ever popular amongst ravers who have taken to joining in with the infectious vocals of his newly acclaimed anthem ‘Rubadub’, just one of the tunes off this heavyweight EP that has been doing major damage over the summer and is already turning the heads of some of the big players in the scene and it’s sub genres!

Gray has also enrolled the talents of two veterans of the scene, The Ragga Twins drop the lead line on Blood, a hard hitting bass heavy tune.

This EP is rammed packed full of goodness and comes with our certified Born On Road dance floor seal of approval, we are super hyped to welcome Gray as a member of our ever expanding family and we all look forward to working with him more in the future. But for now we’ll let the music do the talking…

Born on Road is the record label which has brought you some of the most exciting up and comers to break through over recent years. This continues with their brand-new EP from Disrupta, the Reading based producer who brings his unique sound blends to the Bristol-based imprint. After already infiltrating club spaces with his no-holds-barred production, his forthcoming collection of tracks featured throughout ‘The Night’ EP exemplifies why he was giving a place on the label. He’s built himself a sizeable army of listeners and this fan base will only grow with the release of his new package via Born on Road.

Next up on Bristol’s Born On Road Records comes a three-way collaboration of epic proportions. Having impressed with his outstanding label debut, the Hand Sign EP, earlier this month, Gillingham native DJ Gaw swiftly returns to the imprint, teaming up with long-standing Born On Road affiliate Selecta J-Man – who topped the Juno Download singles chart in July with “My Style” – for the infectious “Rum & Lime”. The pair are joined on the track by Bristolian drum and bass soulstress A Little Sound, the 21-year-old singer and TikTok sensation whose recent collaboration with Kanine, “Back in Time”, has already amassed over two million streams. 

Originally kept under lock and key as a dubplate special but now seeing a release due to great demand, “Rum & Lime” finds A Little Sound heavily interpolating Lily Allen’s world-renowned 2006 debut “Smile”, retaining Allen’s melodies but rewriting the lyrics with a summery and suitably rave-centric twist. Mostly staying true to the original track’s rocksteady sound, Gaw and J-Man intersperse the iconic ska strokes with stonking jump-up drops to make for a festival- ready anthem, bound to serve as the perfect soundtrack to this summer’s outdoor gatherings. 

Having teased the track via both TikTok and the label’s Goat Shed radio takeover last month, initial fan reactions certainly bode well for the future of this track. Expect to hear much more of it in the coming months, and keep an eye out for plenty more releases from the Born On Road family later this year.

Our first outing this year comes from Born On Road's top Junglist Aries and our long standing good friend David Boomah.

Taking the classic 'Aint No Sunshine' and re-flipping it in a Jungle Style!

Keeping it simple is the order of the day with this one.

Born on Road is a Bristol-based record label and DJ collective firmly rooted at the heart of drum and bass and jungle’s underground music scene. Since being established in 2013, we’ve built a reputation as an eclectic outfit known for pushing good music. It doesn’t matter if it’s jungle, jump up, ragga or some sublime vocal work, if we vibe with it then we’ll champion it to the masses.

This is an attitude born from our history in the underground music scene, where the free-flowing energy of sound system culture formed the foundations of the label’s all-inclusive ethos. It’s the reason why we’ve quickly grown into a sprawling music family who all support one another’s careers. From stage takeovers at festivals including Boomtown and Glastonbury, to signing the most exciting homegrown talents, Born on Road are always looking for ways to drive forward the underground scene, along with the artists inside it.

We may be a new wave music label, but we adopt the old school approach of putting the music first before anything else. This journey has been an eventful one so far, but there’s still plenty more to come on the road ahead.
