Some beats hit hard with that irresistable boom-bap and slap that you suddenly find yourself  high-steppin and doing that head nod so hard...

Slipping onto the sofa once again, we’re excited to welcome back Submotive!

It’s only been 1 year of releases and we’ve been ALL OVER his music, nabbing a track for Sofa King Sick 3 plus a collab with DLR, so now we are super happy to release a full EP from him.

‘Cold Shoulder’ contains 4x tracks seeping with funk; crisp and compelling – including link ups with sick newcomer Vektah on ‘Groove Control’ and the bossman DLR, on ‘Accidental Funker’.

A collection of Critical key cuts remixed by label family and friends 

“Its been an incredible year for the label and this feels like a very special way to round it out. This set of remixes is really something and covers a lot of my favourites from the back catalogue as well as some unexpected new takes. Thanks to everyone involved with what we do and the fans.

Onwards” - Kasra

🐟 The Legend of the Bassquarium Wobblefish

Deep beneath the surface of the cosmic ocean, in the sea of quintessence lies the Bassquarium, an endless reef of glowing speaker-corals and crystalline sound systems. It is said to hum with the first Amen break ever dropped — vibrations that ripple out into every rave, every festival, every pirate signal beamed into the night.

From these depths swim the Wobblefish, radiant alien creatures whose fins shimmer like waveforms and whose tendrils pulse with sub-bass frequencies. Each Wobblefish is born of a different frequency band — the golden ones carry the warm mids, the violet ones ripple with high-end shimmer, and the titanic blue elders channel the pure rolling sub-bass that can be felt in your chest.

Junglists whisper that when a Wobblefish passes by, your heartbeat syncs to its rhythm. Entire shoals of them have been known to trigger mass skanking on distant shores, as if the ocean itself were rewinding the dancefloor.

But beware: the Bassquarium is not a zoo, it’s a temple. The Wobblefish are sacred guardians of rhythm, and only those who enter with open ears and wobbling knees are granted the vision of their dance. To hear them sing is to experience the cosmic wobble — a sensation somewhere between a drop, a dream, and the best night of your life at 160 BPM.

Everyone loves a banging remix, and here at Lifestyle we’re no different. Historically one of the most fun & exciting projects to put together, we’re back with the third edition of our Lifestyle Remixed series!

It’s a pretty simple recipe: we take bangers, give them to some sick producers, who turn them into further bangers; it’s sick, and the results are always fantastic. Previous editions have seen some god-tier combinations: Zero T & Revaux, Ill Truth & Lockjaw, and Signal & Vorso, to name but a few.

For this edition, we’ve plumbed our catalogue for a mixture of deep cuts and stand-out bangers, and got some of our favourite producers to break them into bits and build them back up again. The tracklist speaks for itself, but it’s got to be heard to be believed! We’ve got Wingz remixing Black Barrel, Revaux taking on dutch newcomer DOt., the mighty Black Barrel reworking the breakout banger ‘Africa’, the boy wonder himself remixing Nami’s iconic ‘Inside ft 'Lo’, Fre4knc taking on an Objectiv banger, as well as Danger’s competition-winning remix of ‘Vermin’. Bossman Animus twists up Revaux & Charli Brix’s ‘Colours’, one of our biggest tunes from 2018 getting a seriously brucked out edit, and Belgian badboys Glÿph take Nami’s ’Shake The Universe’ to truly galactic planes, wicked.

As well as all that, to celebrate ten years as a label, we’ve also reached all the way back to LFS020, and got Synth Ethics & Was A Be to team up, reworking Viscera by Ed:it - updating the banger 7.5 years after it’s initial release! Crafting it into a big, stinky stepper, beautiful stuff.

You can probably imagine the program; it’s all kept pretty dark & dangerous this time round, complex bass design leaks out all over the shop, and there’s not much relenting from start to finish, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Some of these have been doing the rounds a bit, causing absolute carnage whenever we play them out, some of them are brand spanking new, but we think you’ll agree they’re all hurters. It’s been an absolute joy to put together this release, so we hope you like hearing it as much as we’ve liked making it!

More combos than a Mortal Kombat fight, get it down ya!

Black Barrel makes his Dispatch Dubplate debut in fine style, taking in collaborations with DLR and Nymfo.

DLR & Black Barrel roll out some heavyweight funk for “World to Choose From” and the bassline driven “Get Stuck” is pure fire for this first time collaboration with Nymfo.

This one is a must for fans of both the Dispatch Dubplate series and also the inimitable style of the Russian maestro.
