Downplay is proud to welcome back Birmingham producer BWK Project to the label for his brand new release “Round U”.

‘Round U’ is a perfect summertime anthem, immediately setting the vibe with it’s driving 4x4 groove and light melodic touches. Once the bass kicks in, it’s game over - and absolutely guaranteed to get any crowd jumping.

Second track ‘Secrets’ hits it’s stride straight away with a tough 2-step rhythm, before unfolding into a proper bubbler complete with diva vocal stabs and rolling bass.

Finally, label-mate Angus Green delivers another master-class in remix production, taking the title track and tweaking the formula just enough to bring something fresh to the table - further proving him as the one to watch in UKG.

Downplay returns for it’s 50th and final release ‘Future Vintage’. The release celebrates some of the label’s highlights over recent years with a fresh remix of each by key artists from the UK Garage scene.

Phonetix brings a dazzling level of technical expertise to his take on D Selektah ‘Be Good’, offering a blueprint for how to make UK Garage sound simultaneously classic and brand new.

BWK Project flexes his production muscle on Kells ‘A Girl’ with a club-focused bump ‘n’ groove refix that showcases why he’s one of the most in-demand artists working in UK Garage today.

Angus Green flips the original 4x4 action of Eximius ‘So Good’ into a sparkling 2-Step rhythm perfect for laid-back sunday sessions.

Earthnut deliver a sense of playfulness in their mutation of Kazumi Anazai’s deep cut ‘Beehive’, creating a rolling percussive monster in the process.

Kells displays his inimitable style on Royal Flush’s fan favourite ‘Need You’, opting for a stripped-back 4x4 banger that will heat up any dance- floor.

Aaron Danks brilliantly flips Angus Green’s discofied original ‘Got To Leave’ into a speed garage warper that is everything you want from that description, and more.

Fork and Knife adds a dash of grime to his take on label-mate Phonetix ‘Lighting Fires’, pulling out all the stops to deliver a refix that packs a sonic punch.

Witchdoctor works his magic on Limita’s classic joint ‘Static’, contorting it into a deep and deadly journey into breaks.

Finally, the immensely talented MKII heats up the club with his melodic rave-inspired take on Nekst’s collaboration with Orla O’Dwyer ‘Connektions’, delivering a perfect closing track.

Downplay is proud to present the new EP from hotly-tipped London producer Fork and Knife.

‘Risky Business’ is a unique fusion of synthwave theatrics with the bombastic thrill of Grime and the undeniable swing of UK Garage. Combining all three elements, Fork and Knife has created the kind of sonic firepower that can be deployed in any number of sets across multiple genres and will be giving ravers screwfaces all year long.

‘Porsche 928’ expands the concept into darker territory with a roughneck slab of bass-heavy breaks strapped to a UKG groove that will give any sound system a serious test.

Up and coming Brighton-based producer Won’t reworks the lead track into a hybrid bassline monster that will have any raver feeling the gurn within 60 seconds.

Firing straight from Whiney’s ‘Waystone’ LP is the enchanting ‘Spheres’; a collaborative force of nature with fellow Med School maverick Keeno, made truly timeless by the sublime vocals of singer/songwriter Pippa Violets.

Taken from Danny Byrd’s latest whirlwind funk adventure ‘Atomic Funk’ is ’Starting It Over’ (ft. Hannah Symons); a formidable blend of rugged jungle flavours running in unison with gorgeous silky soul and R&B style vocals. The original has been kicked into overdrive by none other than Turno, who Danny Byrd himself states “...is the man of the moment - he’s turned this old school jungle roller into something loud and tearing for 2019!”

Danny Byrd returned after a five year hiatus with his huge album ‘Atomic Funk’ that includes previous singles ‘Devil’s Drop’, ‘Holy Star’, ‘Hold Up The Crown’ and ‘Salute’ ft MC GQ. He’s garnered huge support from BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac and MistaJam, as well as securing his own BBC Radio 1 Residency monthly slot, representing drum & bass across the airwaves. Danny Byrd continues his worldwide tour in 2019, after venturing across the UK, Europe, USA, China, Australia and New Zealand.
