Panix - Armed & Dangerous

2020’s unexpected pandemic lead us into 12 months of lockdown which provided DJ Ayy Den a chance to explore production with the first of these experiments ‘Pressure Dip’ in collaboration with Murder He Wrote. Offering up a summery atmospheric build combined with an array of UK Funky style drum and cow bell work before submerging deeper and deeper into its low end leaving ‘Pressure Dip’ ticking all the boxes for the long awaited summer ahead.

Ayy Den’s journey began in Canada. Growing up surrounded by a healthy mix of hip-hop, reggae, dancehall and soul music. These early influences combined with the fresh UK sounds of Funky, Garage, and Dubstep making their way across the ocean led to Ayy Den's move from avid listener to radio host, DJ, and promoter - co-hosting intimate after-hours shows for a wide selection of international acts passing through British Columbia. Now based in Manchester, UK her eclectic bass-led DJ Sets taking in Jersey Club, Funky and beyond are rapidly gaining plaudits, already featuring in Trench and The Face Magazine and on some of the UK’s best radio stations including Rinse FM, NTS, SWU and Reprezent.

Blending elements of Broken Beat, UK Garage, Soca and House into his own off-kilter take on bass music, Murder He Wrote’s playful productions and edits have been destroying clubs worldwide. Originally breaking out via a flurry of releases on the Roska Kicks & Snares imprint, MHW’s tracks have gained heavy support from a diverse range of dance music's most respected tastemakers including Mary Anne Hobbs, DJ EZ, Gilles Peterson, Redlight and Jamz Supernova. Working across 3 decks, his eclectic, low-end focused DJ sets have seen him land guest mixes on BBC Radio 1, Boiler Room, NTS, Rinse FM and BBC 6Music - alongside a touring schedule that’s taken in clubs and festivals around the world including Fabric, Ministry Of Sound and Outlook.

Highlights of a busy 2019 include a Boiler Room debut, a production on Fox’s debut album ‘Juice Flow’ on Swing Ting (one of Mixmag’s albums of the year), the heavily supported single ‘Worthwhile’ ft. Logan making the A-List on Rinse FM and Spotify’s 'New Music Friday’, and DJ sets across Europe, North America and Australia. 2020 saw the release of two collaborations with UK Funky legend Roska, official remixes for Afro B, T-Pain, Zed Bias and Children Of Zeus plus an eclectic run of singles on MHW’s own Rhythm Athletic imprint - amassing over a half a million Spotify streams and support across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, NTS and 6Music.

DJ Ayy Den x Murder He Wrote - Pressure Dip

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.

FELIXCW -Howla

We're super excited to welcome @lichen-m to the label with a two track EP straight out of Bristol.

LICHEN - ABDICATE EP CLIPS [OHS009]

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.

Slumps Sounds presents SLMP001, the long awaited debut EP from the label’s co-founder baccy beard. The EP features 4 club-focused tracks, a collection of works conceptualised around the experience of waking up in a field after a heavy night of festival hedonism. The EP features 3 original compositions by Jack Hodgson aka baccy beard, plus a bonus remix of the title track from Lydios (Dominic Waterfield & Archie Docherty).

4head is a natural headache treatment applied directly to the cranium for fast +  effective relief without pills. The EP opens like an intense migraine with blistering pulses of feedback... Blazing square waves and stabbing synths erupt in an ecstatic fanfare, channeling memories of warehouse raves and late-night antics. Spliced vocals and metallic screeches build the momentum as baccy beard’s suped-up breakbeats and heaving basslines infuse the title track with the anthemic force of a footy-rave.

Tribute to The Upsetter [FREE DL]

Across our tenure as a platform, we've been privileged enough to host a number of tracks from one of our favourite and hottest-tipped upcoming producers - 9TRANE. In the past, we've premiered 'Karbon' & his exceptional remix of Hedchef's 'Transparency Illusion', both deep, bassy creakers that bubble away nicely in the murky, UK Bass bracket. This latest effort, however, may be the finest of the bunch. Debuting on the essential, multi-faceted independent record label, promotional channel & online bass music platform Simply Deep, 9TRANE has come in clutch with a stonking remix of the ultra-talented J-Shadow's 'Modulator'. In the words of the bossman J himself, it's a "diverse yet splendidly hefty rewire" - couldn't have put it better ourselves! Belter.
