Simply The Best - June

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4mOUYJEY20ARmvRAdrsrP8?si=ae571fb94cf044a1

Kelis - Trick Me (DJ Crisps Re Tricked Mix)
A label to always keep your eye on for the best in UK Garage is South London/Limited Pressings. South Limited Pressings 002 sees DJ Crisps welcomed back on the imprint, his remix of 'Trick Me' is EXACTLY what we want from UKG track.

Samba & Chokez - Ghastly (Kloudmen Remix)
Encrypted Audio does it again! Another fantastic release. The sour taste left in my mouth after missing out on the original Ghastly press has faded (for now).

Ome - Better Stay Home 
Ome has been climbing the ranks in the Dubstep leader board swiftly. Little over a year since his release with Simply Deep Ome has secured a spot on DUPLOC's latest Vinyl venture: 140 Allstars Vol 1.

Duckem - U Won't Know
When our favourite artists and labels combine we truly have something special. This release from Duckem is magical.

Burial, Four Tet, Thom Yorke - His Rope
This release came out December last year but it's still worth a mention. Every release from this trio is nothing short of a masterpiece. I am satisfied I can finally hold the wax treatment of this release in my hands.

Lakewest - Blood Orange
Formally known as 'Woz' Lakewest lands with his self-released debut EP. A deeper and darker route than his previous alias but equally as well received.

Joedan - Double Tap
Pondlife Party are back with another super limited vinyl run alongside a digital release. Our favourite was this merky number from Joedan

Mungk - Bazaar
Mungk - A name not long back was known by few but it's now a name that any 140BPM enthusiast should be familiar with - This is a cut from his forthcoming album with Duploc

Kami-O - Avaaas
Kami-O may be a relatively new artist to some listeners but not to us. We've been watching this talent from Glasgow grow for a number of years, we're extremely happy to see he's getting some of the recognition that he deserves

"Off-Switch Audio are delighted to announce their next release from Athens-based producer Duckem. This one leaves behind any tempo constraints and sees Duckem let loose on five original tracks packed full of synthesised soundscapes, gritty rolling basslines, heart throbbing melodies and brain tickling textures. With its narrative album-like structure, this impressive project is a great insight into Duckem’s deep and emotive musical style.

The release then hits peak energy levels with U Won’t Know. Bouncy 2-step drum patterns layered with intricate percussion above a lush setting of soundscapes are all satisfyingly engulfed by a huge rolling bassline to make the perfect dystopian banger; ideal for the rave and the blurry journey home alike."

Duckem - U Won't Know [Simply Deep Premiere]

Made this remix in about 1999 but never released it, thought it was lost but just found a CDR of the master. Help yourself.

UPDATE: Just to be clear this a Deep Blue remix of a Deep Blue track, Deep Blue (Sean O'Keeffe) is one third of 2 Bad Mice (The smallest, coolest and youngest member).

A massive shout, as always, to everybody involved in and supporting the release. Out on April 11th 2019 in digital formats.

"2021 has arrived and what better way to kick off the year than with the return of Fork and Knife to In:flux Audio for his 3rd EP. This time we see Fork and Knife trying his hand at a more Dubstep influenced affair, although you can still tell it's Fork and Knife's productions with those signature percs and high intensity synths working solidly throughout."

"After the fantastic reception of Equus’ ‘REHD’ EP, seven artists have each selected a track from the release, resulting in five different but wholly dance floor ready remixes. 

Celestial Being has been making a name for himself as a multi-genre DJ and producer that knows no bounds when it comes to remixes. For his flip of ‘Blood Red’ he takes his signature garage sound and merges breaks with a heavy bassline to create a true party starter of a track."

Equus - Blood Red (Celestial Being Remix) [Simply Deep Premiere]

Release Date: 04/02/21
Buy Link: https://fodderrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fodder002-jubley-feel-it

"Fodder002 brings Jubley back with a 4 track EP that spans a spectrum of bass music. Dark vibes strung across swung drums with a low end at the forefront centred around the 130 BPM region, these tunes hope to reflect a variety of aspects of UK Bass music. With support from the likes of Keysound and Swamp 81 across Rinse FM and Subtle FM, Fodder002 looks like a solid addition to the Fodder Records collection."

Jubley - Cool Guy [Simply Deep Premiere]

Release Date: 05/02/21
Buy Link: https://dirtybeatsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/dbm015-gideon-dub-ep

"The world is once again in turmoil. People are more frightened by every passing day. But as we all know history has a tendency to repeat itself and thus 'Gideon' has risen once again to liberate it.
Who or what 'Gideon' is you might ask? That is for every person to decide for themselves, but fear not, the chains will be undone for the ones who are brave enough to rise up. There is also a rumor of the existence of an elixir so special that it can shine the light of hope even in the darkest of times but all we could decipher was its name 'Cherry Chouffe'. One thing is certain, we have to make it our mission, even in such 'Chronic' times, to find that mysterious potion within ourselves and rise up just as proud as the king of the jungle. We must stand tall as a lion 'Zoned' in its own pride and face the world head on, leaving our marks just as visible as a 'Lion's Paw' on the harsh lands of wilderness. Be bold, brave and honest and your 'Triunfante' will surely be within your reach."

"We are happy to announce our first release of 2021 is from San Francisco based Pteron entitled It’s Been Too Long.

Inside there are 4 deep focused constructions bordering the perimeters of Breaks, Techno and Dubstep. This is an exploration of slow burning heavyweight movements."

Pteron - Fernessa [Simply Deep Premiere]

I LIKE THE DARKNESS...... ITS FRIENDLY!

After the Huge success of of ENV015 testament to Samba & Chokez and the work rate they put in to have the who's who of the 140 spectrum play their music we all where gifted with the tease and promise of Remixes.

Besides there being multiple vocal edits featuring the likes of Rocks Foe and Logan Olm it was becoming increasingly likely this remix release was not going to see the light of day.
After much discussion and many a tease of what might be on this release we made the right choice to pull the front runners in EA's very own Kloudmen and Germany's very own Bukez.

Both sides take the original and add the respective remix artists signature sounds and cuts and turn it into nothing short of wondrous bass goodness. I am not a wordsmith with the required calibre nor grasp of the language to put into words how natty this release is.
