With the trio of monthly singles from TMSV, Samurai Breaks and THUGWIDOW introducing London-based imprint Sub Merchants to the scene in fine style earlier this year, they are pleased to share with you the final packaged EP 'Surrey Street', which concludes this release cycle exploring the contemporary evolution of jungle music. Included on the EP is a re-release of all three tracks, accompanied by remixes from Drumterror & B:Thorough, Groves and Fiesta Soundsystem.

Painting a picture of the jungle scene in 2020, ‘Surrey Street’ aesthetically pays homage to Croydon‘s roots within the scene, and features six sublime selections from some of the most exciting new names on the map over the past couple of years. You truly won’t find primer cuts this side of the River Thames.

Mershak - Barricade [GS019 Showreel Ft. Pluralist]

Axle - Sludge [SPE:C Records]

We welcome back our breaks wizard Ekula for his second EP on the label following the excellent 'All Night EP' back in 2020, and here we see a continued evolution of his sound, blurring together breakbeat, dubstep and rave into a deliscous melting pot that makes up his latest effort 'Ravestep 101 EP'.

First up we have the title track that is pretty well explained by said title, with rave stabs and synths driving the song along with breakbeats delicately cut throughout to really push the 140 breaks vibe Ekula is becoming famous for. 'The Owl Song' is more down the dubstep vibe with a clear 2-step beat accompanying the breakbeat and some wicked sampling that really showcase the producers ear for taking something and flipping it in a unique way.

For the remixes we are first of all chuffed to welcome back Charla Green to the label, as she puts her excellent talent to the title track, turning it into an absolutely wicked jungle refix that had us bouncing round In:flux HQ the moment it hit our inbox. The second remix is by our devilsome duo and founders Tik&Borrow, who take 'The Owl Song' and give it a breakbeat makeover, combining their neuro sound design with something altogether different for the pair, channelling synthesis, arps and progressions unlike anything they've incorporated before, something that is a welcome addition to the duos arsenal.

For The New Dawn

First Listen : Vromm – ‘Restart’ (Cosmic Bridge Records)

Cosmic Bridge's club focused 'Earthbase Series' continues with 'Nocturnal' the new release from Russian producer A.Fruit. Four tracks that fuse Footwork, Drum'n'Bass, Techno and bold sound design into the 160 BPM framework. After a heavy hitting set of releases via Russian imprint Hyperboloid, Irish modern trendsetters Rua Sound, and the ever vigilant Med School, so please welcome A.Fruit to the Cosmic Bridge roster. 

Label boss Om Unit says: "Anna has a rare ear in this 160bpm world; one foot firmly in the techier sound-design lane, and one in the world of fun dance floor sounds. Well mixed, and not too serious! It's great to have her on board and we look forward to sharing a stage soon!" 

Kicking things off is 'Make Them Shake’, a hypnotic and contorted expression of footwork with bubbling bass and drum FX - only for the boldest of dancers. ‘Polykarp’ comes complete with rugged old school hardcore chops twisted into a technoid stepper.  'Deep Insight’, is reminiscent of early Moving Shadow Jungle; hypnotic & minimalist with tight drums, glitches and jazzy late night moments. Closing track ’Before You Go’ is a breaks filled, garage-footwork workout; cheeky vocal cuts and rolling syncopated rhythms for your waistline!

After months of speculation, London-based imprint Sub Merchants are pleased to finally announce the first part of their debut release ‘SM-001’, with the lead single from Dutch producer TMSV - ‘Abyss Watcher’ - the first in a monthly series of singles, that will ultimately culminate in a full compilation EP exploring the contemporary evolution of jungle music.

‘Abyss Watcher’ is a formidably aggressive entrance from the label, with TMSV already having proven his weight in the genre with his previously self-released ‘jungle vol.1-4’ EPs, alongside releases with Rua Sound, Om Unit’s Cosmic Bridge and J:Kenzo’s Artikal. Cutting his teeth in the murky world of dubstep and leftfield bass music, TMSV has cemented his place as one of the most consistently exciting producers on the map at the moment, and his offering for Sub Merchants is absolutely no exception.

After blasting onto the scene last month with a monstrous jungle track from TMSV, London-based imprint Sub Merchants are pleased to share with you ‘Marathon’, a 160bpm stomper from Leeds’ own Samurai Breaks  - the second in a monthly series of singles, that will ultimately culminate in a full compilation EP exploring the contemporary evolution of jungle music.

‘Marathon’ is a fantastically definitive demonstration of the sound Samurai Breaks has recently become known for, combining elements of jungle, footwork and old-school hardcore in a sound that is quite uniquely his own, making use of a clap-heavy drum pattern paired with a colourfully thick bassline bound to put any soundsystem to the test. Toting previous releases with the likes of Off Me Nut Records, Halogen Beats and Elektrical Records, the latter of which saw Addison Groove behind the wheel on the remix, Samurai Breaks is clearly making his own distinctive mark on the scene, and ‘Marathon’ is no exception.

After bringing heavyweight stompers from the likes of TMSV and Samurai Breaks to the table, London-based imprint Sub Merchants are pleased to share with you the third and final track from their debut release ‘SM-001’, an offering from the formidable THUGWIDOW - the third in a monthly series of singles, and the final drop ahead of a full compilation EP exploring the contemporary evolution of jungle music, releasing later this year.

‘You See How It Spreads Out Like A Fungus’ is the culmination of THUGWIDOW growing his unique sound over the last 5 years, which recently has seen him releasing across the likes of Kutadah, Infinito Audio and No Problema Tapes in 2020 alone. An expert in sound design, the abstract tone of THUGWIDOW’s music evokes an introspective feeling of late nights, early mornings and post-rave junglist afterparties, with ‘You See How It Spreads Out Like A Fungus’ being no exception. A perfect blend of ethereal ambient synths scattered with breaks and deep bass pulses, it’s a truly exceptional piece of music that flawlessly ties together the SM-001 EP.

San steps forward with idiosyncratic, textured jungle for the modern era on his debut 12". Anxious and introspective throughout, San's detailed sound design and close control of intricate drum edits clearly mark his pedigree. The jungle alias of a Bristol based techno producer, the San project reflects upon the rave landscape of 2020, and finds it to be a dark place.
