“The clouds of ash and dust shrouded the Dark Tower; it was hard to know where the landscape started, and the sky ended.

A paradoxical sense of fear and calm, the embodiment of the Company of a new breed of fighting man. A man not of this world, a metaphysical being, a life source from beyond imagination. Ready to commence in a never-ending dropset with wave after wave of advancement.

Would it be the survival of the fittest? No! Not now. Now it is about the battle of wits, strength and intelligence backed up with weapons never imagined in lifetimes past. The winners write history, and a new history is ready to be cast under this imminent attack”...

-Original words by RF Knight.

A huge debut release for Dirtbox Recordings with one of the most exciting producers making Neurofunk Drum & Bass at the moment. Dropset.

2022 has seen Dropset launch an assault of Deadly dancefloor weapons with huge showings on labels such as Cause 4 Concern, Code Smell & Korsakov this year alone. and his latest instalment with us on Dirtbox, to
sees the year out in style with 2 head spinning slabs of fist pumping goodness to party to, closing out 2022

1/ Imminent Attack
We start off with Dropset’s signature style intro. Heavy haunting pads and synths climbing to an intense percussion segment and finishing with the vocal skit taking you into the ever powerful drop that is relentless in its cause to create dancefloor mayhem.

The second drop intensifies and takes a whole other direction with its halftime beats changing up the momentum of the track before finally releasing the wrath of its final moments mayhem that will be sure to make you want to attack that stage barrier separating you from the Dj.

2/ Dark Tower’
As we come into the second track of the EP. Dark Tower is the track originally that sparked the release to go ahead and you will hear exactly why early into the Intro as we are taking into an anxious filled build up where you are waiting for the drop to come.

Once it does it, The juggernaut is unleashed as the track takes you on a darker than black musical journey throughout without hesitation of giving you a rest.

The second drop is more of a twist as the halftime beats trick you and take you well out of your comfort zone before dropping into the ten ton monster again catching you off guard and dizzying your brain and movement in your body.

An outstanding release to cap off an amazing 2022 for Dropset & for Dirtbox Recordings 

Imminent Attack & Dark Tower is released December 9th 2022

We kick off our Autumn release schedule by taking no prisoners. We found a glitch in the Matrix. And through this glitch a portal, that once you play Neurofunk Drum & Bass down it, that 2 futuristic cyber soldiers appear,
brandishing heavy drum & bass artillery and plenty of Prawn cocktail crisps for supplies.

What was even more shocking was that the 2 soldiers were future selves of producers `Cyntax` and `The Fi5th` Cyntax handed me over a dusty USB stick. patted me on the shoulder, before nodding to The Fi5th before jumping back down the portal just before it closed.

It took me a while to decrypt the USB but once I had done this, and had gone through its contents. I knew the future of Drum & Bass was in my hands, quite literally. 

The contents... 2 tracks depicting what Neurofunk Drum & Bass would sound like 10 years from now. 

I decided to show a few people, but was warned harshly that people would just not be ready for this type of cyber connected, audio, neuro-lization of the senses.

So it is without further ado, you have been warned before listening to the latest Dirtbox release at your own peril. This will change the landscape as we know it. 

“Cyntax- Face Pound”

We throw on our 4 inch gloves on this one and get ready to smash your teeth down the back of the throat.

Heavy, violent Neurofunk. Catapulting into the first drop with a relentless grip on your nervous system.

Some may recognise this from multiple sets the past 12-15 months from the likes of Zombie Cats and Jade Its ever recognisable synth work flows tremendously across the track and audio programming is a pure 10/10 leaving you bloodied and battered from the Face Pound.

“Cyntax & The Fi5th- The Machines”

We finish off the release by bringing in extra reinforcements, The exciting sounds of The Fi5th bless this one with techno driving bass and epic synth stabs to disjoin your brain cells in every way possible.

A relentless juggernaut of Neuroscape sounds fill your ears and sends you to a far off place in your mind where you feel the robots have taken over, and this is their soundtrack.

Facepound & The Machines is available exclusively on Beatport & Spotify October 20th.

We are here. The most monumental landmark in the label's history alongside the second largest landmark in its history all in the same month.

2024 we are celebrating 5 years since the labels inception, something we are exceptionally proud of that has included not only 50 general releases but now 6 compilations from 160 artists providing us 158 tracks since mid 2018.

Thank you to everyone supporting this on one of our most crowning achievements, The artists. The people buying and streaming the music and the people behind the scenes who truly are the backbone of this label alongside the artists in getting things done.

And 5 years brings us 50 releases, a 4 part EP series focusing on
some of the best tracks from our back catalogue remixed to
perfection by some hugely talented artists.

These EPs will culminate into a huge 26 track album of past, present and future remixes that includes 20 exclusive (Until now) unheard of remixes for the masses.

We kick off EP Sampler 1 with some `balls to the wall`, futuristic
Neurofunk remixes of some of our favourite Dirtbox tracks from the past few years, Enjoy

5 Years Of Filth- 50th Release Album Sampler 01 is available on February 23rd While the 50th release album drops April 5th both exclusively on Beatport & Spotify while landing on all other platforms 2 weeks past their release date.

Starting our 2nd drop of the now infamous Dirtbox Recordings Tape Pack Project, Things are hotting up with our releases from Shayper Titled "Iteration" and The Fi5th titled "Procedure"

V's 5 through to 8 land on this drop from both artists giving us vast coverage of multiple DNB sounds and styles throughout to help us culminate at the end of the year with 2 massive artist albums (We have something special in mind for sure just you wait.

Additionally now all tracks have added names to them for an individualistic look and to give it more noticability.

As we embark onwards of our 5th full year of running at Dirtbox Recordings we embark on, what can only be described as the most intuitive and ballsy project to date.

In this project what you can expect to see is a series of releases spanning 12 months. The first 4 are already out there and both artists will be dropping a single, on the 1st of every month still on our side project to Dirtbox no matter what day that is for the entire year totalling 12 tracks each.

This is first of all to create consistency for these artists on their release schedule, making sure both have monthly music out while also letting the audience know exactly when to expect the next.

The releases are ready to go now with all work within the background completed and waiting for each release to land on stores.

Additionally to this both artists are receiving a much higher cut than a usual label split while additionally we have managed to cut the majority of costs for the release to help push a lot more revenue through to the artist.

Very recently Spotify have decided to not pay for tracks streaming less than 1000 streams per year, in which from then that revenue generated will be spread out to tracks that do.

A very poor situation for producers and labels a like. But to counter this we are working closely with the artists to make sure their accounts on Spotify help to create a better chance to obtain streams through their updated profiles. consistent music released to incur additional playlist consideration.

Our final drop will arrive come August, In the meantime Check these out

One thing that has truly pleased us as a label is not only welcoming new talented artists to the label but also working alongside who we consider our peers, some of the artists we grew up listening to in the honeymoon years for us of DNB and our all time favourites too.

Add to this a sprinkling of foreign exchange and being able to  work with talented artists / peers from across the globe and you have a very happy record label indeed.

If you have been living under a rock for the past 10+ years or so then you may not have come across the Puerto Rican born producer situated in the U.S of A.

We are very proud to announce our collaboration as a label and artist with none other than Diode. 

A vast catalogue of work has drenched the DNB world for quite some time now and it was only fitting we brought the artist to the attention of our labels followers as his direction pretty much lines up with ours and our ethos which is truly to cover the entire spectrum of Drum and bass.

We are very proud of this one and excited to collaborate for the future. as we introduce the Interruption EP.

1/ “Don't Interrupt Me”

A true favourite of ours this year and a track that has seen
some heavy exposure through some of the larger artists in DNB.

Starting off in Diodes signature Funk sounds and chords, we are quickly led into a remarkable build of audio sonics that place you on the edge of your seat.

Key changes and whirling rises lend themselves to the robotic voices which take a switch as we drop a Jungle Techno snippet before a nan slapping Neurofunk drop.

This one is relentless as we switch basslines and keys throughout until a crescendo of bass and beats.

2/ “Racing”

Foot on the peddle. Let's go. Vin Diesel would be proud of this one. as we welcome “Racing” into the Dirtbox family.

A slapper of A neurofunk drop with some awesome melodic swishes.

This one is a Virus-esque Chugger of grade A prime classic sounds accompanied by gated synths and up to date bass synthesis. 

An awesome one for the middle of the set at prime time.

3/ “In Silence” 

We close out the EP on a high note. A true one, Piano’s, sweeps and vocals propulse us into an epic percussive lead breakdown, Anthemic and beautiful this one ticks all the boxes.

A true, and beautiful way to end the EP with Diode flexing his production muscle and showing his range, Big time Interruption EP is out July 29th exclusively on Beatport & Spotify then everywhere else 2 weeks after

We cannot believe that it has been a whole year already since the launch of our Vibe City concept.

In 2023 we brought you not 1, but 2 huge liquid Drum and bass  compilations with a heavy focus on the talent of tomorrow alongside some of our permanent fixtures on the label, delving head first into new waters for them and taking themselves way outside of their comfort zone.

And after the massive success of last years compilation we are thrilled to announce Vibe City Volume 3 for 2024 with our biggest original compilation yet with 24 exclusive Liquid Drum and bass inspired tracks from some amazing artists from around the world.

This one has been over six months in the making and yet again we have gone above and beyond to bring new talent to the forefront on the label and give Liquid Drum and bass its just deserves.

And what Vibe City compilation would be complete without customised artwork focusing on some of the best Game inspired look for the masses.

For this year the focus is on the 80’s board game Guess Who? Where we have transformed all our artists into characters from the classic board game.

We have even gone as far to complete a real life board game featuring all the producers which will go on sale the week of release.

And now let's talk about the music, starting with our `album sampler` which hits DSP’s on September 6th.

“Time Lost” produced by the ever talented `Pyxis` alongside the DNB Super trio, `Sola` is a beautifully crafted soon to be summer anthem plucked right from the fields of this year’s festivals.

And if that was not enough we have brought in the big guns, by featuring the one and only `Shayper` who lends us 3 tracks from his Iteration series from our very own Tape Pack series.

We also have one of the most talked about Junglists at the moment producing music. he has one of the biggest musical outputs there is and has released on every major label doing Jungle or Liquid in the past 4 years from the likes of Hospital, Ram, Jungle Cakes, Sub-Liminal, Liondub, Deep In The Jungle, Formation and many more. 

We are of course talking about the man like Conrad Subs who brings us 2 amazing slabs of Liquid-Jungle influenced bangers.

Permanent fixtures to Dirtbox compilations are also on hand with Sigmus, Abidance, Beskar, Skuff, Lee UHF & DJ Komatose dropping us some flava from their repertoire to spice up the release.

We also see a different side to one of our favourite producers also. with Jump-Up stalwart `L3MMY DUBZ` giving us his stamp on the liquid sound with 2 huge tracks.

We borrow GTA label residents Locoda & JD Nobody who have both given us amazing music for your listening pleasure.

And finally a whole host of first timers to the release from around the world in the form of Canis x Sirius, Blipin, David Saturn, Jane Doe and Akuma.

This for us IS a definitive release on the label that we hope you enjoy playing as much as we did putting together. 

Vibe City Volume 3 is available exclusively on Beatport and Spotify September 27th and everywhere else October 11th.

The Tape Pack Project was the brainchild of a conversation between label boss Lee UHF and
producer Shayper in December 2024 It grew legs and a scramble to release the first episodes on January 1st 2024.

Not only was Shayper onboard with such a mammoth project but producer `The Fi5th` also wanted a pierce of the action.

What came was 12 tracks over 12 months from both artists, releasing on the 1st of each month before culminating into albums or both artists.

Shayper with Iteration and The Fi5th with Procedure.

And now for 2025 we bring you Argentinian producer `Noise Souls` with his “Sequence” series
A monthly release schedule taking us through to December 2025 with a 4 track drop on each promo for your listening pleasure.

We are very excited after the huge success of the first series to bring this to the masses with our
first 4 releases.

Dirtbox Recordings proudly returns with Cities: Episode 5, the latest installment in our ongoing series spotlighting international Drum and Bass talent and the diverse sonic flavours they bring from their corners of the globe.
 
This fifth chapter sees the return of The Maniatics to Dirtbox, the explosive trio from Seville, Spain, who deliver a blistering crunchy Neuro roller that embodies their raw, high energy sound.

Known for their unrelenting style and innovative production, The Maniatics once again deliver a track destined to tear up dancefloors.

Joining them is Diode, hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. A now-regular name on the Dirtbox roster. Diode continues to carve out his place in the Dirtbox legacy, showcasing his signature blend of gritty textures and razor-sharp grooves that perfectly complement the Cities ethos.

The Cities series has already featured heavy hitters such as Slaine (Birmingham, UK), Lee UHF (Sheffield, UK), Erbass (Sao Paulo, Brazil), and ESKR (Albuquerque, New Mexico) each artist bringing their unique take on Drum and Bass and representing their hometowns with pride.

With future episodes already in the pipeline, fans can look forward to upcoming showcases from places like Bedford, UK, The Colony, Texas, and St. Petersburg, Russia. The Dirtbox vision for Cities is simple: unite the global DnB community and highlight the sounds shaping our scene, one city at a time.

1/ Maniatics- “Dont Look In The Mirror”

"Don't Look in the Mirror" is a mind-bending journey into the darker side of Neuro rollers.

Opening with an eerie, tension-soaked intro and a massive drum build, the track wastes no time setting a cinematic tone before dropping into its haunting title vocal sample.

From there, it launches headfirst into a filthy, chugging bassline layered with trippy textures, pitch-bent madness, and twisted reverse bass stabs that keep the listener off balance.

The breakdown offers no real relief, just a moment to catch your breath before Maniatics unleash a second drop packed with relentless kick-driven rhythm, razor-sharp percussion, and unpredictable structure. 

It’s chaotic, warped, and brilliantly executed, pure dancefloor destruction.

2/ Diode- “Europa”

"Europa" sees Diode at his devastating best, delivering a relentless Neurofunk weapon packed with energy and atmosphere.

The track opens with haunting vocal samples and sharp stab synths that immediately set a chilling, horror-inspired tone.

As the tension builds, it erupts into a full-throttle drop, a surge of adrenaline powered by snarling basslines and razor-edged drums. The midsection keeps the suspense high, returning to eerie vocals and cinematic stabs before launching back into the chaos for a second round.

It’s a massive neuro banger with serious dancefloor impact, executed with Diode’s unmistakable precision.

We’re now entering the final stretch of the project, with four final tracks that promise to close out the series in true Dirtbox style.

The Sequence series continues the legacy started in 2024 with Procedure by The Fi5th, and Iteration by Shayper, two blistering runs of cutting-edge drum and bass that set the tone for what this project would become.

A new single from the featured artist drops on the 1st of each month, leading up to the full album

@dunkdnb @Rebel_DNB

Dirtbox Recordings proudly welcomes the powerhouse duo of Dunk and Rebel.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll already be familiar with rising Brazilian star Dunk.

A producer who has been dominating the corner of Drum and bass focused on deep, rolling and
heads down minimalist sound, with floor-destroying tracks that have resonated with crowds worldwide.

Dunk’s music has graced an impressive roster of labels including Formation Records, Vandal,
Spearhead, Souped Up, Critical V Recordings, Playaz, and many more.

It’s a true pleasure to finally have him making his Dirtbox debut.

Joining him is Rebel. Whilst not new to drum & bass, Rob (aka Rebel) has been tearing up dance
floors as a DJ, and as a raver since the mid-90s.

More recently, he’s been flexing his production skills, collaborating with talents like Tactic and Dunk to deliver absolute weapons for the scene.

Now, the two unite on Dirtbox Recordings for Decoding The Cypher, delivering three heavyweight
DNB tracks that showcase the duo’s raw energy, technical mastery, and unmistakable vibe.

Spotlighting international Drum and Bass talent and the diverse sonic flavours they bring from their corners of the globe, this will not be the last we see and hear of the duo together.

1/ Dunk & Rebel- “Cypher”

The release opens with an absolute dancefloor weapon.

Dunk and Rebel deliver a cleverly engineered club rocker, and Cypher wastes no time getting under your skin with funky, rolling percussion and a nostalgic blast of classic ’90s synths, bass, and hoovers.

The groove is relentless, pure funk-driven energy that keeps the head-nodding crew locked in and moving straight through until sunrise.

2/ Dunk & Rebel- “The Deadlights”

Hold tight, crew, `The Deadlights` is something special. 

The duo bring serious classic vibes here, opening with wobbling FX and bass layers as thick and
heavy as a woolly mammoth’s coat.

The energy ramps up with a quicker pace, pulling the dancefloor’s eyes to the booth before
slamming into heavyweight basslines and rapid-fire percussion.

It’s a track built to drag everyone straight to the front.

3/ Dunk- “Karma”

"Karma!" kicks off exactly how you’d expect from a solo Dunk track, with precision, grit, and style. The percussion is pure junglist fire, intricate and razor-sharp, riding over a deep, minimal bassline locked into that unmistakable Dunk groove. Massive, mammoth-like bass roars erupt every few bars, growling through the speakers and demanding attention.

It’s a bold, chest-rattling opener that caps the release off in truly breathtaking fashion.
The Cypher gets Decoded, September 5th.

Dirtbox Recordings Announces Cities EP Series Episode 5 Featuring Debuts from Filthy Philp (UK) and gANGLADESH (USA)

Hot on the heels of August’s explosive Cities 4, Dirtbox Recordings proudly unveils the next installment in its globally celebrated drum & bass series: Cities 5.

This latest edition brings two heavyweight debuts to the label, as Filthy Philp steps up from Bedford, UK, and gANGLADESH represents The Colony, Texas, USA.

The Cities EP series is dedicated to showcasing the finest drum & bass talent from around the world, with each episode spotlighting artists and the unique sounds born from their hometowns.

From gritty UK jungle rollers to high-octane American energy, Cities 5 once again proves that drum & bass is a truly international movement.

Label founder Lee UHF shares: “The Cities series has always been about giving artists a platform to bring their city’s sound to the world. With Filthy Philp bringing raw UK jungle riddims and gANGLADESH representing Texas with unapologetic firepower, Episode 5 is one of our most diverse and exciting yet.”

Expect a cross-continental showcase of the culture that unites us all.

1/ Filthy Philp- “Bad Bwoi”

Liam, better known as Filthy Philp, has been a force in drum & bass since his 2017 debut, diving headfirst into the genre’s rich history before quickly making his mark worldwide.

From tours across Australia and Asia to releases on respected imprints like GTA, Gorilla Warfare, and his own Trigga Fingaz Records, Philp has built a reputation for bringing raw energy and authenticity to the genre between 160 and 170bpm.

His latest cut, “Bad Bwoi,” is a pure statement of intent, an explosive dancehall/drum & bass crossover that captures everything Filthy Philp stands for.
Ragga vocals and Jamaican-inspired instrumentation thread through the intro, as trumpets and amen breaks collide beneath the commanding call of “Bad bwoi sound.” The result is a heavyweight roller built for the dance, unapologetically loud and brimming with Philp’s trademark style.

2/ gANGLADESH- “Just A Gangster”

Dallas-born producer gANGLADESH arrives with a sound that’s as raw and unapologetic as his roots.

Coming up through hip-hop and trap, he cut his teeth making beats for rappers before turning his focus to drum & bass, bringing with him a streetwise energy that sets his productions apart.

The result is an unmistakably American take on 170, built on heavy basslines and grit, but delivered with club-ready precision.

His debut on Dirtbox, “Just a Gangster,” is a no-nonsense jump-up weapon designed to detonate dancefloors.

Chunky, rolling basslines collide with hard-edged drums and swaggering vocal chops, creating a track that straddles hip-hop attitude and DnB aggression. It’s a heavyweight statement of intent, a banger that will turn heads and announce gANGLADESH as a serious new contender in the global scene.

@mr-jinx

Dirtbox Recordings proudly returns with the sixth instalment of its heavyweight Rock N Rollerz series, a project dedicated entirely to the driving sounds of rolling drum and bass and jungle.

Over the past five episodes, Rock N Rollerz has become a flagship platform for showcasing the core energy of the scene, and Episode 6 is no exception.

This time, we welcome none other than Jinx, a true Birmingham stalwart and pillar of the UK drum and bass movement.

Having been deeply rooted in the city’s rave culture since 1995, Jinx has carved out an unmistakable sound; raw, heavy, and unapologetically rolling. 

Beyond his long-standing connection to the Second City’s underground, Jinx also runs his own
imprint, Straight Up Audio, and boasts an impressive catalogue of releases on some of the biggest labels in the game including Sony Music, Bassrush, Anjuna, Ruffneck Ting, Foundation, Born On Road, Jungle Cakes, and Liondub to name just a few.

His four-track debut on Dirtbox Recordings sees him distil decades of experience into one of his most accomplished works to date. 

Each track captures a different facet of his style while staying true to the roots of jungle and rolling drum and bass. Opening with “Rage,” Jinx drops relentless Amens and chest-rattling basslines, setting the tone for what’s to come. “Call Me The Boss” steps in with attitude, blending commanding vocal samples and tight percussion to create a dancefloor destroyer
built for the sound system.

“Our World” takes things deeper with a hypnotic groove, heavy low-end pressure, and soulful vocal snippets that nod to the golden era of jungle. Closing the release, “Grunge” brings pure fire, fusing distorted bass textures, chopped breaks, and layered vocal cuts that perfectly capture the raw, forward-driving energy Jinx is known for.

Having graced the decks at our debut Rock N Rollerz event in Birmingham back in 2022, Jinx’s
connection to the brand runs deep. This latest release cements that bond and showcases his mastery in translating the energy of the rave into pure sonic form.

With Rock N Rollerz Vol. 6, Jinx delivers the sound of Birmingham to the world; fierce, forward-thinking, and full of groove. Each tune is loaded with Amens, weighty basslines, and the kind of vocal flair that defines the modern jungle movement. This one’s strictly for the heads.

Rock N Rollerz EP 6 lands exclusively on Beatport & Spotify November 14th, Everywhere else
November 28th.

December 1st. We say goodbye to one of our most innovative projects to date.

In 2023 Lee UHF & Shayper came up with `The Tape Pack Project`

This was a series of releases by 1 artist spanning 12 months creating a body of work to be proud of and build consistant releaes throughout that time.

12 releases, 12 months. All on the first of every month and all 3 series of this project over the past couple of years have been monumental to say the least.

December 1st we see the legendary Noise Souls complete this series and his own year with "Sequence V12 Connected"

We finally reach our 80th release and with it comes the first hint of what they have planned as we move into 2026.

We are proud to announce DNB Essentials, a New Annual Series Reviving a Lost Part of Drum and
Bass Culture.

With the end of Ram Records came the end of the Andy C’s Nightlife compilation series. And
while `Nightlife` was more than a mix series. It showcased huge amounts of new and forthcoming
music and helped countless listeners discover both new and established artists.

That spirit of curation on albums for us has been missing, and for many, it left a real gap.

DNB Essentials is our take on that legacy. And while we are not thinking we are here to fill in Andy C’s big shoes, It will be an annual project focused on bringing new artists into the label and placing them side by side with long-standing Dirtbox names.

Each volume will feature a guest curator who will assemble the full tracklist and create a full-length, continuous mix of the release.

Supporting artists has always been at the core of what Dirtbox does, and DNB Essentials continues that approach. To start this project, 20 artists will be joining the label roster with music set to roll out over the coming years.

The first curator for the series is label owner, producer and DJ, Lee UHF. He has overseen the track
selection and delivered the mix to launch the project. For collectors, each DNB Essentials release will be available not only digitally but also on limited vinyl and CD runs.

1/ Lee UHF & Noise Souls- "Introspective Thoughts"

The first of three samplers, “Introspective Thoughts” marks several important firsts for the label.
It introduces the DNB Essentials project, and is also the first drum and bass collaboration between
Lee UHF and Noise Souls.

This record is the beginning of an ongoing partnership between the two producers, with a heavy run
of joint music already planned for 2026. Noise Souls, known for his 2025 Tape Pack Project series titled `Sequence`, has been releasing monthly singles this whole year that build toward a full album in 2026. Based in Argentina, Nic has been part of the Dirtbox family since 2022 providing us with  amazing releases past and present.

Lee UHF, the driving force behind Dirtbox and its affiliate labels, has spent 27 years working across the
music industry. He has played a part in several influential brands over the years, but drum and bass is
where his focus lies now. As Dirtbox moves into its seventh year, listeners can expect a strong run of releases from Lee as he has been honing his skills in recent months as well as freeing up time to create an onslaught of music for 2026 that's already waiting in the wings.

Introspective Thoughts blends the trademark rolling style from Noise Souls Sequence work with Lee’s
own gritty, raw, sound, creating a joint piece that feels like a meeting point between the UK and Argentina.

This release marks the start of something new for Dirtbox Recordings, both in the form of the DNB
Essentials project and in the growing collaboration between these two artists. 

Introspective Thoughts is out exclusively on Beatport & Spotify December 19th before a worldwide
release January 2nd.

Debut release from across the pond and this is a monster. The headline track is a collaboration between Komander Ground & Kutlo (Slovakia) and Londons own Jimmy Danger MC. This fantastic headline track breaks the barriers and blurs the lines between Jump Up and Neurofunk with a very unique and heavy blend of bass and vocals. Following this 3 amazing remixes, Low Calculated (Slovakia) brings up the first Neurofunk monster. While half step specialist unikore gives his own special take on the track. While finally Komander Ground brings us a nice rework of the unikore Remix bringing it back to DNB

Released 23rd August 2019
