Gimme A Break Records presents Oldboy’s 'The Box EP', featuring three expertly crafted UK Garage productions. Following his debut release, 'The Guv’nor EP', on Noire State, Oldboy continues to deliver future dancefloor classics founded upon crispy two-step rhythms and squelching basslines. Through his string of releases on Fly By Night Recordings, Outhouse Sounds, Ratface Records, Reloaded Sounds, Da Demolition Squad and Algo:Riddims, Oldboy has become renowned for his playful sampling. The EP’s title-track showcases Oldboy’s filmographic inspirations and whilst ‘Strict Service’ offers a more laidback groover, 'Mantis' supplies a rough and ready crunch to round off the EP. Big up to Oldboy himself for conjuring up this nostalgic cover design.

Gimme A Break Records presents Donsurf’s ‘BREAKWAVE EP’ featuring three expertly crafted productions. Donsurf took the scene by storm through his widely received debut release on ec2a in collaboration with Bakey. Following this, Donsurf has continued to deliver experimental breakbeat and UK garage compositions as seen through single releases on Gimme A Break and Kultura Collective. 

In his ‘BREAKWAVE EP’ Donsurf divulges the breadth of his musical influences some of which include dubstep, breakbeat and jungle. The deliberately smooth transitions between tracks makes for a seamless journey through UK bass culture, grounded fundamentally through Donsurf’s intricate manipulation and sculpting of classic breaks with a personal twist.

Gimme A Break Records is honoured to present “Red Handed”, the first
collaborative EP from label regulars Papa Nugs and Phasmid. Featuring
everything from gritty wobblers and chunky breaks to acid arps and outrageous amens, this collection of five tracks is bound to send any crowd into hysterics. Alongside two individual productions and the co-produced title track, this EP offers up two undeniably rude remixes of the gents’ tracks from GAB’s first vinyl release. 

Both Papa Nugs and Phasmid have been making serious waves in the UKG and Breaks scenes of Leeds and London. Nugs has crafted an extremely unique production style as epitomised through his Milk and Beans EP for Ba Dum Tish. Similarly, Phasmid has consistently delivered furious basslines and crisp breakbeat concoctions for a number of labels, including his very own Taipan Trax. Having collaborated previously as part of 128kbps, as well as playing b2b at PLURPROJECT, Papa Nugs &amp; Phasmid display a devilishly playful musical chemistry across “Red Handed.”

Alicia Keys is one of the undisputed queens of contemporary R&B. Powerful vocals, earnest lyrics and a deep self-awareness are the main pillars that have held up her career. But what happens when you fuse ballads with basslines? For this vinyl-only co-release on Bristol imprints Eminent and Slippery Sounds, Knoxville’s Nikki Nair stands at the intersection between new and old and redefines exactly how to nail the bootleg edit.


‘If I Ain't Got You’ is a precise flurry of two-step garage and nostalgic vocals, Alicia’s lilting voice still recognisable despite the dancefloor environment. A glossy rhythm breathes life into the old classic so that it becomes a new entity, which somehow welds together the murky rave realm with the weightlessness of Summer. It’s rare for tracks to suit any given setting, but this one might just be a strong contender.

‘Show Me Love’ takes a more starry-eyed course, weaving dewy textures into a fresh whimsical appeal. There’s still a subtle nod to the past despite the more recent Alicia/Miguel sample, which comes in the form of the 2010’s grime era melodies and nostalgic soundscapes. The breakdown around the halfway mark is a particular treat; it hoists up the vocals in reverence before the first of two ice-cold, dubby drops.

They say that if you’re paying homage to one of the greats, you’ve got to do it right. But Nikki Nair goes above and beyond that into a captivating alternate reality where the rush the second time round is just as good. These bootlegs are instant classics in themselves.

Premiere | Nikki Nair | Show Me Love | [Eminent x Slippery Sounds]

Espree is an up and coming bass music DJ/Producer hailing from the infamous Bristol, who’s drive within the club scene has been getting attention from record labels throughout the UK due to his fresh and versatile style with an eclectic twist fused into his productions. 

With a Mixmag feature and multiple radio appearances, he’s catching the attention of some heavyweight artists in the scene such as: Skepsis, Shift K3Y & Sammy Virji as well as KISS FM radio presenters Charlie Tee & Billy Da Kid. 

His latest productions have been energetic and powerful with tasteful underground twists. He is currently working on a huge amount of new original material while still finding the time to handpick tracks to remix into a whole new vibe of his own. After being picked up for a '100% Production Mix' on the legendary Rinse FM, Espree has began to also catch the eye of a few other major-player record labels.  Judging by the amount of unreleased music that he has stacking up, it seems that he has no intention of doing anything other than working full force to imprint his name on the scene and will no doubt be pushing into the upcoming underground artists roster; an artist not to be underestimated.

After a year of lethargy, SD Records returns with a tremendous EP signed by Ludowick. One of the most beloved remixers of the family finally deserved a solo EP, and the occasion has arrived in the SD 30th release.

Always Dreaming becomes one of the high points of Luis' career, of which we still don't know its peak. The EP is made up of 3 songs simmered for 5 years, and although they represent 3 different moods, the common denominator is the dancefloor.

Always Dreaming creates a minimalist and dreamlike atmosphere thanks to the dub dyes of the house, accompanied by a tech-house rhythm with sounds of the mythical 909.

Making waves  of  late  in  the  drum  &  bass  scene  is  UK-born,  New  Zealand  based  Maxwell  ͚Monika͛Sweeney.    

Max  has  been  busy  carving  out  a  prolific  portfolio  over  the  past  few  years,  racking  up  releases  on  Soulvent  Records  alongside  the  likes  of  Shogun  Audio,  Med  School  Music  and  Ingredients  Records.  He  boasts  an  impressive  catalogue  of  music  ranging  from  delicate  Summertime  beats  to  all  out  dancefloor  smashers.  As  of  July  2018,  he  masterminded  &  continues  to  host  the  Soulvent  podcast,  as  well  as  recently  becoming  the  host  of  a  weekly  drum  &  bass  radio  show  in  Christchurch  (NZ)  -  showcasing  all  the  best  bits  from  across  the  scene  and  beyond.  

Monika͛s  talent  stretches  beyond  the  confines  of  170bpm  too:  with  a  few  house  releases  out  under  the  pseudonym  Jesse  Bullitt.  Now  looking  to  further  show  off  his  diversity  with  his  Monika  alias,  Max  has  crafted  the  epic  and  undeniably  cinematic  Fortress  EP,  due  out  on  Soulvent  on  the  30th  of  November.  This  EP  really  showcases  Monika͛s  ability  to  create  delicate  and  poignant  music  that  takes  inspiration  from  the  wider  stretches  of  dance  music,  and  music  as  a  whole.  As  he  keeps  progressing  onwards  and  upwards  on  his  musical  journey,  it  would  be  wise  to  keep  Monika  in  your  sights  and  headphones.

Love & Danger in Paradise is an amalgamation of ZF's cultural fascinations. Inspired by likes of Vice City, Drive and Giorgio Moroder, for our annual themed compilation project, we sought out artists that create and craft neo-nostalgic sounds.

A retro musical direction drove the selection process, pulling tracks from italo-disco and indie dance genres. Each of the twelve hand-picked artists added a distinctive sonic uniqueness to the album. Cosmic, groovy and melodic club-ready works, all designed to timewarp the aural sense.

This curated collection musters up visions of midnight road trips, neon-lit city wanderings and dark disco discotheques, because in reality - what hath night to do with sleep?
