Max Baker is no doubt one of the key artists flying the flag for good quality drum and bass right now and with a bunch of well supported releases still in many DJs virtual record boxes, his time with Nicky Blackmarket’s Kartoons is now. The ‘Back to Basics’ EP features a heavy dose of real music, obviously influenced by Max’s classically trained brain and memories of losing the plot at many grotty events up and down the country. Vibes from ‘94, production from ‘21.

Take ‘Slithery Snake’ for example with its luscious pads and intertwining beats which in turn, morph into trademark rough and tumbles which fans of Baker’s will doubt lap up. Grafta MC links up for the ride on ‘Telepathic’ adding his laid back wordplay skills to the mix, switching in and out of low end rumbles and skippy breaks. A winning formula and certainly not the first time these two have featured on a track together.

‘Untitled Business’ harks back to the glory days of underground music with a big salute to one of the scene's original microphone champions. It’s mashed up beats connect with skatty synth stabs and over the top basslines. ‘Interruption’ feels a bit like 5am in the morning, looking up at the rising sun, looking down at your mashed up Air Max’s and loving every goddamn second of it. “Who wants one more tune?” We know we do...

It may well be the hottest summer since records began, but there’s a storm brewing in the Southwest.

Taking us back to their underground roots, the boys from Bristol are proud to present Run Tingz Remixes Volume 3, The Amen Project. The release is a 5 track EP which showcases a old school Ragga Jungle take on some of the label’s classic licks. 

Rough and ready for the Autumn / Winter 18 club season, the release features 3 of the UK leading modern day Jungle producers in Hybrid, Aries and Selecta J-Man. Also making the cut is Mexico’s number 1 ‘mal hombre’ Isaac Maya, as well as a relatively unknown producer from the badlands of Bristol, Pete ‘P-Tay’ Mackenzie. 

First up to get the amen treatment is 2011’s ‘Bun Babylon’ - Hybrid comes through to give us his trademark take on the seminal Serial Killaz & Run Tingz Cru conscious anthem, which also marks his well overdue debut on the label. 

An undisputed veteran of UK Jungle and label regular, Aries (Chopstick Dubplate & Born on Road), collides head on with Selecta J-Man & Parly B’s ‘Roadblock’, administering a tight amen revamp of the 2014 juggernaut.

Mexican powerhouse Isaac Maya takes on 2013’s ‘Rock A Dub’ by Dossa & Deliman. After a successful run of releases on the label in 2017, he makes his return with a track that will keep even the purest of amen heads and Ragga Jungle fanatics happy.

Selecta J-Man returns the love to Aries & Gold, with an updated take on ‘My Sound’ using elements of his classic amen production which first brought him into the scene. With big basslines, relentless snare drums and the unmistakable vocals of Cowboy Ras Ranger and 2Nice, this is sure to be a hit.


Finally, and by no means least, Run Tingz are proud to introduce some exciting new talent from their hometown, Ragga Jungle producer P-Tay. Another label debutant, he starts as he means to go on by tackling the Cru’s 2013 hit ‘Crossroads’ which features the Jamaican heavyweight, Blackout J.A. This comes with a warning, P-Tay is taking no prisoners, this track can only be described as savage and your mother definitely won’t like it.

Thanks as always for your continued support, we’d appreciate your thoughts and feedback.

Having left a trail of releases though labels such as Hospital Records, Spearhead, and Natty Dub, Saxxon is back on V Recordings. He treats us to 'Time Is Right', an EP that perfectly showcases his sound. As with all of his releases, this one is sure to put a grin on your face, something we all need right now!

This 5-track release holds characteristics typical to Saxxon, jazzy, drum-heavy, and three killer vocalists: Wednesday Amelia, EJ Kitto and Christina Tamayo. From the laid back funk of 'Get Locked' and 'Hold Tight', through to the energy of 'Will You Stay' and everything in-between, this is another body of work that shows exactly why Saxxon is held in such high regard.
