Your resident Dubplate Service Provider is back with the second round on ec2a’s 12” series, Original Pirate Material. 

The follow up from the impressive sellout VA is surprisingly the first full EP to come curated by the Dr and who better to kick things off than the great Dane @mainphase001 - FWD Thinking Vol.2 is a no holds barred nod to the UK’s rich history in underground bass music. OG Label don Main Phase provides two signature Ragga 2-Stepers on the A with ‘Note To Society’ and ‘Run Dancehall’ - Heavy low end providing the bass layer and skips for the top shelf vocal samples. 
On the flip we have two versions of title track FWD Thinking. Subtle grime keys burst through your tweeter on the 2001 version, whilst the 2006 rendition has Dubstep Warz written all over it - a seamless transition from that early noughties dark garage into straight up 140 of years later. Full circle flex.

MP rounds things off with Live & Direct, an up front Jungle juggernaut that screams skanking! Let’s hope that by the time this ones ready, we’re back in the dance doing just that…

OPM002 - FWD THINKING

FWD Thinking (2006 Mix)

The Dr is back with his next dose of dubplates and you can rest assured that ec2a-32 of the Dubplate Collection brings yet another worthy remedy to the turntable. 

Leading as one of the most industrious labels in UK bass right now, ec2a is moving mad with a brand new mix series alongside creative project ‘Original Pirate Material’, showcasing some of the deepest and darkest sounds in the scene. Kingpin, Doctor Dubplate, who recently caused a ruckus at the latest ‘Keep Hush’ gig, shows no sign of slowing down and certainly maintains momentum with this next drop. In light of the previous release, prepare for more unabated jungle.

It may come as a surprise that the artist responsible is London-based FELIXCW as he is predominantly known for his soulful yet weighty left-field garage, recently making his mark in the scene with a number of stylish edits and collaborations with some top tier producers such as Izzie Cofie (IZCO). This release though is a sure-fire switch-up and certainly lends a nod to the Moving Shadow era whilst repping that future-classic jungle sound. 'Tek Dub' (A-side) lures you in with a think-break build-up before thrusting you into an array of the tightest drums and perfectly placed syncopation, whilst adjacent to this is sub-heavy Howla (B-Side) giving off a much deeper feel amongst plenty of wobbles and dub-reggae vocal skits. 

If it’s crispy clean production tekkers, rapid breakbeats, and deep jungle basslines you want, this record is critical to your collection.

Coming in hella strong, Bristol-based producer/DJ @longeez takes the bass-baton and supplies us with two outrageous club heaters for ec2a-35. With this release, he is sure to retain such a rep as he dives straight in with wob-heavy ‘Hol’ Tight’ held together by jumpy melodic synth sounds, shifting vocal samples and some deep-seated whirs. ‘Keep Movin’ does what it says on the tin and is reminiscent of UKG pioneer ‘El-B’ with a 2-steppy twist alongside an eerie backdrop - old school vibe with new school tactics.
