Following his debut EP last year, and a remix on our PlayGround compilation, we welcome back Sasha Khan to Ground Level with his Storm Chasers EPs.

A triumphant mix of the schools of old and new this EP features three tracks all in the 140BPM Nu-Jungle category. Title track Storm Chasers mixes rave pianos, solid scratches and heavy beats to massive effect. This is followed up by Raw Energy, a track which starts with an eerie piano riff before descending into an assault of Amens and dark bass riffs. Finishing the EP is Strictly Hardcore, a rave inspired belter with more than a nod to the old school!

Warmup material this is not, with this EP Sasha Khan's aiming for the 5AM mentalists and rave-goblins, but guaranteed if played at loud volume you won't be able to stop jumping around the room!

Fisso & Spark's Breakspoll nominated debut album Future, released last December, not only showcased the Austrian based duos production skills and dance floor savvy, the singles taken from the album have showcased the roster of Ground Level artists. Previous singles from this album have included remixes by Rebel Sketchy and Andy McAllister, and now for the final single from the album we welcome Joe C and Beatsmack with their interpretations of one of the album's standout tracks, Dynamics.

Earlier this year we did a mini-series of EPs called Ground Level Summer Vibes, a collection of beats and treats for the outdoor parties, festivals and bbqs, bringing the FUNK back to breaks!  One of the best-selling tracks from those EPs was A Jazz Thing by Beatsmack.  Now DJ Hero, who's had an incredibly successful year in 2013, rounds of the year with this remix of A Jazz Thing, adding some extra bottom end and bassbin vibes!

Joe C returns for Ground Level's final release of 2013 with the glorious Golden Gloves. Building on the funk-laced grooves Joe brought to the table with his last release Monster, Golden Gloves is a disco-tinged workout, led by a female vocal samples and weaving hypnotic grooves. A sure fire party starter for the upcoming festive season

While working hard on their second album, due out later this year on Ground Level, Fisso & Spark took a little bit of time out to work on a collaboration with US rapper BBK, and the resulting monster is Earthquake! For the main breaks remix we tracked down Fingerlickin legends the Drumattic Twins and persuaded them to dust down their samplers, resulting in a funkier take on the original! Sasha Khan completed the package with an uplifting Drum & Bass remix!

"OMFG. Lost for words. Amazing" - Beatslappaz

A dynamite EP here from two producers at the top of their game - Rebel Sketchy and Kwerk present Sketchwerk.  Both producers are making waves in the breaks scene and beyond, so when it was suggested that a collaboration was on the cards we became very very excited here at Ground Level, and we weren't disappointed.

The track in question is Everywhere I Go, a slab of peak time funky breakbeat that gives a nod to the past coupled with a dollop of future bass goodness.  Superfunky percussive beats unpinned by a soaring bassline give way to wah-wah guitar and vocal snippets and the glitchiest of breakdowns - this one willl ignite the dancefoor!

Not content with just unleashing this monster both Kwerk and Rebel Sketchy have contributed an individually produced track to this collection.  Kwerk brings us the disco-fused technoid funk of 'Are You?', and Rebel Sketchy updates what was originally a drum & bass track from his debut album, Goodbye Gravity, into a 130BPM funky breaks bomb, matching the feel of the other tracks and completing this incendiary package.

At a time when there's a lot of generic by numbers breakbeat out there this EP provides the antidote.  Musical, funk led body music, created with love and meticulously crafted to provide a feel good pack that's a rare thing these days.  DON"T sleep on these....
