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.

Witchdoctor
'6AM' EP
(Downplay / DWN003)

RELEASED 06.04.2018

Witchdoctor is an emerging new talent on the UKG and Bass Music scene. Operating out of London, the DJ & Producer has been steadily carving a name out for himself in both genres, most recently with his wicked debut release on Hausmade.

Downplay is proud to present ‘6AM, the sophomore EP from London producer Witchdoctor.

‘Champagne’ kicks off proceedings with a fully feel-good vibe, staccato rhythms and good-time melodies mixing it up before the groove steps in properly. Sugar-sweet basslines and chopped vocals intersperse the track for a little ray of UKG sunshine that will put a smile on any raver’s face.

Title track ‘6AM’ takes another path entirely, with a low-slung 4X4 rhythm guiding the beat across chord washes and a rolling bassline that gives the production a full-on warehouse bumpy bubbler taste that’ll have the floor full in no time.

‘Wot U R’ mixes the best elements of both proceeding tracks into a perfect UKG concoction, saccharine melodies inter-playing tough beats to mesmerizing effect.

Downplay is proud to present the new single from Russian producer Blasta.

‘Vybe’ is pure summertime fun with an incredible lyrical turn from Steps AKA Steppa Style, delivering a pitch perfect salvo of MC nostalgia wrapped up in modern production savvy. The beat switches between 2-step speaker-shaker to 4x4 chest-rattler with ease, running through a whole trick bag of FX and percussive cuts that is 100% sunshine.

Rinse FM’s DJ Dappa delivers an outstanding remix on the digital flip, increasing the summer vibes with a take that includes sweet string samples and orchaestral stabs to devastating eﬀect. No danceﬂoor is going to be safe from this one!

Blasta & Steps - Vybe (Dub) (DWN005)

Why have one of the best up and coming UK Garage artists on an EP when you can have two?

Downplay is proud to welcome producers On1 & ZeroFG to the label for their first collaborative release.

‘Big Sound’ arrives in an ominous atmosphere, brooding chords swirling around a stripped-back 2-Step groove. Bubbling basslines provide the punch as the percussion gets an intensive workout.

‘Next Up’ raises the tempo and delivers a master-class in minimal funk as the rolling bass combines with a killer rhythm to get your head nodding and your feet moving.

‘Conform’ drops soulful vocal samples over an ever-evolving rhythm for an intriguing roll-out that extrapolates the classic UKG template and mutates it into something fresh and new.

Next up is Aversion, an equally eerie introduction in fine On1 style, subtly building sounds and energy pushing towards the climax which is the drop which makes for a bass heavy, head nodding, screw face pulling, gun finger pointing riddim! This track will make any dance floor shake to the foundations making it almost impossible not to skank to it!

Signal EP

On1 - Aversion

Signal kicks off with a eerie tone, murky spaced out strings sit ontop of a bouncing high hat groove setting the tone. As the intro progresses more elements get introduced continuously pushing the track forward getting the listener more immersed and more curious about what is going to happen next, when almost out of nowhere the real build hammers in and without warning so does the gritty bass and skippy drums making this proper 2-step X grime hybrid making it a track that would sit well in a set with MC's as well on its own.
