In late 2020 Biodub had the honour of being invited by Native Instruments to provide his track "No Tumble Down" for the 
Metapop Remix Competition. During a single month the Metapop community created a stunning 180! remixes of the original. 
With so many remixes in different genres, it was a rewarding challenge to dive into the nuances and choose the ones
that transcended the challenge. For the release, seven of these interpretations have been carefully chosen for two compilations
that celebrate the diversity of deep electronic music.

No Tumble Down Remixes Part 1 (Preview I Release May 14th)

Pugilist & Another Channel providing the grooves on this limited 10” for our 10th release on Modern Hypnosis.

A. Pugilist - Fight Authority 
Pugilist, once again, proves his dub worth. Fight Authority emerges from the vaults and now glistens in the light of day. A perfectly executed track of rhythmic & sound proportions, magically tailored for the systems of this earth and all pulled together by the sampled vocals of Cocoa Tea. 

B. Pugilist & Another Channel - Seek Truth
On the flip, Germany’s Another Channel, collaborates with the man of the hour to produce the low slung dub tune - Seek Truth.


Our 10th release!! Feeling the warm fuzzies on this one, big love to all the artists, supporters, collectors and selectors.

MH010 - Pugilist & Another Channel - Fight Authority / Seek Truth (Out Now)

Lapo & Ago, alongside the rest of the mighty Numa Crew, are responsible for some of the most crucial, addictive, and classic 140 material in the history of the scene. Tunes on Moonshine and Killa Sound such as "Youth Pon The Corner," “Everytime" (as Numa Crew), "Dreadlock Blues," and Ago’s "So Mi Seh" on Innamind are stone cold classics that haven’t left many selectors’ boxes since release. After a long pandemic-enforced hiatus, ZamZam returns with our 83rd release, offering two more future classics for the global dubwise sound system massive, on 7" vinyl- the original sound system format. 

Coming in hard with kick, melodica, and echo chamber vocal fragments, “Spirals and Pyramids” drags us into the dance with stabs and a
rubbery, buoyant bassline that’s hard yet playful, reveling in the elemental joys of the dance, community vibes spread through sound system principles: bass, reverb space, haunting melodics, and masterful frequency control. Upful steppers is the vibe, just in time for a summer that we hope brings a return to in-person sessions wherever you are. 

The wholesome pleasures of the A side do nothing to prepare us for the massive weight and sound-killing heaviness of the flip, “Shot The King!” From the very first dungeon tone and bone-dry high hat holding time, the mood is pure dread and the die is cast for war. Calling out soundboys and weakheart with sound tape declaration and a thick miasma of smoky reverb, this is a tune to test sounds and bring dancers to their knees. Staccato kicks and swarming sub drive the riddim, augmented by lasers, minimal percussion, and a feeling of elated claustrophobia that only proponents of this music understand.

Soundcloud blend recorded straight from the vinyl so you know what you’re getting. Shipping mid-June 2021. Limited to 800 7″ vinyl copies for the world. Mastered by Sam at Precise. Design and screen print by Polygon Press. No digital, no repress.

ZamZam 84 marks the return of J.Sparrow, one of the true stalwarts of UK sound system music. Producing dubstep & bass masterpieces for over 15 years, and running Navy Cut, with seminal releases on labels including Deep Medi & Tectonic, it would be difficult to overstate Ryan Wild's place in this culture. His second ZamZam carves out a new sonic world of dubwise power and beauty alongside close friend & sparring partner, the Microphone Controller called Sun of Selah.

“Behold” pairs a gorgeous plucked melody with a deep lyric honoring those who prioritize their spiritual path in a world of illusion and wickedness. Complex yet utterly intuitive and propulsive drum work, tight pads, spectral melodics and massive bassweight transform the sound system into a space of deep contemplation.  “Paradise Bird” is nothing if not transporting. Imagine a soundworld where Muslimgauze, Ryuchi Sakamoto, and LTJ Bukem stroll along the shore by moonlight in a parallel-universe Caribbean and you’re starting to feel the vibe. 

These two sides are 140 missives of weighty minimalism, restraint and graceful clarity, a beautiful antidote to the chaos and uncertainty of the last year and a half. “Behold” and “Paradise Bird” reveal an artist hitting new creative peaks in dub that we’re honored to present.  Dubwise no compromise!

Mandem in the Morning on XRAY FM 06/11/16

Reality Chant & Earl 16 - The System (Akcept Version)

The fifth Future Primitive release, Babylon Paralysis, sees the label work with an all-time favourite UK techno artist Steve O'Sullivan. We are super happy to be reissuing a classic slab of late '90s Bluetrain material from Steve in the shape of "Congo Shuffle", which originally surfaced as an untitled B1 on the timeless Echo Freaks 12". Newly extended and edited by O'Sullivan, "Congo Shuffle" has been lavishly cut at the Exchange giving new life to this bottom feeding monster.

On the flip, Steve blesses us with two brand new productions continuing the sub-heavy theme of the A side. Invisible Guest steps away from the straight up 4/4 productions he's nailed in recent years in favour of a stealthy broken dub approach that wouldn't be out of place on go-to Bristol label Idle Hands.

"Paralyzed Dub" is both the inspiration for the release title and another classic demonstration of Steve's ability to stun listeners with very few elements. Play loud and keep away from laptop speakers.
