Volume Two has arrived. Four Run Tingz tracks get the remix treatment on RTZD013 just in time for summer. Featured are some of the most successful tracks in the label’s history, harking back as far as the fifth release on wax back in 2011. The boys have enlisted the capable talents of Serum, Levela, Gold Dubs & Koznik & Khavy to give their take on four classic riddims that shaped the label over the past half-decade.

D&B heavyweight Serum takes on the undeniable might of the late Tenor Fly’s vocal onslaught in his remix of Serial Killaz & Run Tingz Cru’s ‘Murder Ya Sound’ - his trademark stabs accompany, what could be described as, an unconventional beat. This one’s been sitting in the wings for a while and it’s great to see it finally get a release.

Next up, Levela applies what can only be described as twenty first century savagery to 2012’s ‘It’s A Junglist Ting’. The skill in successfully utilizing the top notch vocal talents of both David Boomah & Blackout JA on a Jump Up track is not something that should be taken lightly; Levela delivers big time with this ferocious number.

Recent label regular Gold Dubs provides the rolling Jungle vibes for his remix of ‘Took My Breath’. One of the best tracks from the Bristol back-cat gets a fresh lick of paint and it does not disappoint in the slightest! Lady Fyah’s iconic hook is preceded by rumbling analogue sounding bass that plays out over the drop following a hair raising reggae-skank-laden intro. Contender for pick of the bunch.

Belgian duo Koznik & Khavy provide us with our second dose of Jump Up. Super tight drum work and inventive use of Tenor Fly’s vocal make for a captivating intro - come the drop though it’s head nod central as the EP is rounded off in upfront style.

Baby Baby

Chopstick in Wonderland

From Birmingham to London and through the Rabbit Hole, 90’s underground icon Cheshire Cat, known for his work with Leftfield and Bally Sagoo, appeared floating in a tree outside the studio. The control room was immediately transported by the power of Jah Ionizer to Wonderland. Aries & Jacky put the headphones out the window, held the mic, and recorded Cheshire Cat’s fantastic allegorical fables of life, love, women and weed.

Five riveting tales of adventure start with classic lover’s music meets bubbling jungle on ‘I’m Sure’, a romantic conversation from the man who’s normally happy with ‘Just the Herbs’. Cheshire explains just how much lyric can come from results of exposure to the healing of the nation. Of course no conversation about the trees can be complete without the appearance of a ‘Police Officer’, and the sage advice given by Mr. Cat would be well overstood and heeded by overzealous constabulary, globally. Moving forward, ‘Troddin On’ reveals an irrepressibly positive point of view and the reason that Cheshire Cat is always smiling when he throws his corn. Since the 90’s he was known in the dance as ‘Bounty Hunter’, and to complete the musical selection for this EP we dug deep into our soundclash collection for some authentic cassette flavour!

CHOPSTICK DUBPLATE Ft CHESHIRE CAT & GOLD DUBS - TRODDIN ON - CLIP

Artist: Johnny Osbourne & Marcus Visionary
Title: Jungle Skanking
Label: Liondub International
Catalog #: LNDB026
Format: Vinyl / Digital 
Release Date: 29 January 15
File Under: Drum & Bass / Ragga Jungle

After more than 25 dirty releases on Liondub International, our 26th delivers a dancehall-ready vocal and version from Liondub main man Marcus Visionary, featuring a new lyrical appearance from legendary Jamaican vocalist Johnny Osbourne. Straightforward as its title, 'Jungle Skanking' opens with a swinging pure reggae section before Visionary brings the drums for the main body, even while the remaining instrumentation stays mostly unchanged. Over sirens and horns, the legend sings the praises of skanking to jungle with the youth to this modern music. The flip side adds an extra layer of dub effects throughout to thicken the atmosphere while stripping out the vocal, but it brings the opportunity to appreciate the many finer details in Visionary's production and stands fine on its own. This is a perfect example of a proper modern day Ragga Jungle anthem and is perfect for dubplate voicing and for live MC's to chat over at the dance. With a strong dose of positive vibrations Johnny Osbourne and Marcus Visionary nice up the dance for Liondub International in 2015 and beyond.

Omar -  Dancing (K15 Remix)

After a notable string of well received releases from Rhythm Section International, Label boss Bradley Zero recruits his South London comrade on RS007, Henry Wu, for an ode to SE15 with the new EP, 'Good Morning Pecknaam'.

A South East Londoner born and bred, Henry’s debut on Rhythm Section has been a long time coming and it seems that it was worth the wait as Henry presents 6 tracks of impeccably pleasing melodies. With previous releases on the likes of 22a and Alexander Nut’s Hotep... A back catalogue which has elevated him to becoming arguably one of the most hotly-tipped producers in the UK right now. The broken compositions and deep jazzy keys have earned him plaudits from scene veterans as well as peers, all keen to see what Henry will do next.

SoulParlor - Pure (K15 Remix)

Coop stalwart IG Culture (http://igculture.com/) and Bugz In The Attic co-founder Alex Phountzi (@phountzi), and went on a high-flying 3-hour b2b session spanning broken beat, neo-soul, breaks, dancehall and everything in-between. The pair also record together as @namebrandsound, go check.

Recorded live in The Stables during the Coop takeover at Dimensions 2016.

DIM074 - IG Culture & Alex Phountzi (Live 2016)

On December 11, Co-Op - the definitive club night and home of the seminal, early 2000s broken beat movement - returns to Boiler Room for a second round.

Last November, Co-Op Presents combined members of the original community (including IG Culture and Bugz In The Attic members Seiji and Alex Phountzi) with current torchbearers like Henry Wu, K15 and Alexander Nut (Eglo Records). 

The memorable session was a flashback to broken beat's Plastic People heyday, reigniting interest in the influential scene and eventually resulting in Co-Op manning their own stage at Dimensions Festival 2016.

As if that's not enough, the crew also return with new music in the bag. The story goes that the day after last year’s event, Boiler Room programmer, Errol Anderson, arranged a studio session where the original and current folk could collaborate for the first time. 

The first glimpse at that get together is now ready to share. Listen to “Substance” with South London producer Henry Wu on original production and IG Culture and Alex Phountzi on remix duties.

Henry Wu “Substance (IG Culture & Alex Phountzi remix)” will form part of an official release (due mid-2017) featuring other original music sourced from that studio session.

WotNot Music is a London-based record label putting out "music for the open minded". With over thirty releases under their belt they have been home to many a producer, with certain names such as Glenn Astro, K15 and Soccer96 being particular standouts. Transcending traditional genre boundaries, their output sees influences from all ends of the sonic spectrum where jazz, broken beat, house and others are equally at home. Release number 32 comes from Danvers (soundcloud), who can now be considered a regular on the label as this is his second EP and third release overall for WotNot.

The "Interludes" EP features three originals and two remixes of the B1 cut. Starting off the EP is Mason, an off-beat heater with delectable jazzy flavours and some easily recognized vocal chops from none other than Puff Daddy. Aye Ata is the big room pick of the bunch, packed full of thumping, broken beat kicks, heavily reverbed percussion and just the right amount of pulsing chord stabs. 1997 perhaps takes a more recognizable approach with a 4x4 rhythm, heavy sub and pulsing chords while Diddy's voice makes another appearance, this time giving an almost eerie feel to the composition. Frits Wentink gives us his take on 1997 with his familiar wonky and lo-fi sound, turning the original into an almost unrecognizable lo-fi groover.

The final remix and our premiere today comes from fellow Londoner Warren Xclnce and features rising musician Joe Armon-Jones on keyboard duties. This cut was a surprise gift rework from Warren to his 38 East studio partner, Danvers. The chords from 1997 are retained but the natural sounding shuffling and pattering percussion give the track a completely different feel. Joe Armon-Jones sprinkles quite a bit of his jazzy magic around them, noodling on the ever familiar yet always pleasing Rhodes piano, which transforms this composition into a deep and mesmerizing gem.

One of my first edits from my library of found sounds: "Relaxing Rain and Loud Thunder" is designed as a brief intro into my perspective on contemporary field recording. This is actually a few different storms, recorded in different times in various places piled up on top of each other to create a uniquely soothing three and a half minutes. Use good headphones and listen loud, but be ready for those loud cracks of thunder! More of my rain recordings:
