Dirtbox Recordings Announces Cities EP Series Episode 5 Featuring Debuts from Filthy Philp (UK) and gANGLADESH (USA)

Hot on the heels of August’s explosive Cities 4, Dirtbox Recordings proudly unveils the next installment in its globally celebrated drum & bass series: Cities 5.

This latest edition brings two heavyweight debuts to the label, as Filthy Philp steps up from Bedford, UK, and gANGLADESH represents The Colony, Texas, USA.

The Cities EP series is dedicated to showcasing the finest drum & bass talent from around the world, with each episode spotlighting artists and the unique sounds born from their hometowns.

From gritty UK jungle rollers to high-octane American energy, Cities 5 once again proves that drum & bass is a truly international movement.

Label founder Lee UHF shares: “The Cities series has always been about giving artists a platform to bring their city’s sound to the world. With Filthy Philp bringing raw UK jungle riddims and gANGLADESH representing Texas with unapologetic firepower, Episode 5 is one of our most diverse and exciting yet.”

Expect a cross-continental showcase of the culture that unites us all.

1/ Filthy Philp- “Bad Bwoi”

Liam, better known as Filthy Philp, has been a force in drum & bass since his 2017 debut, diving headfirst into the genre’s rich history before quickly making his mark worldwide.

From tours across Australia and Asia to releases on respected imprints like GTA, Gorilla Warfare, and his own Trigga Fingaz Records, Philp has built a reputation for bringing raw energy and authenticity to the genre between 160 and 170bpm.

His latest cut, “Bad Bwoi,” is a pure statement of intent, an explosive dancehall/drum & bass crossover that captures everything Filthy Philp stands for.
Ragga vocals and Jamaican-inspired instrumentation thread through the intro, as trumpets and amen breaks collide beneath the commanding call of “Bad bwoi sound.” The result is a heavyweight roller built for the dance, unapologetically loud and brimming with Philp’s trademark style.

2/ gANGLADESH- “Just A Gangster”

Dallas-born producer gANGLADESH arrives with a sound that’s as raw and unapologetic as his roots.

Coming up through hip-hop and trap, he cut his teeth making beats for rappers before turning his focus to drum & bass, bringing with him a streetwise energy that sets his productions apart.

The result is an unmistakably American take on 170, built on heavy basslines and grit, but delivered with club-ready precision.

His debut on Dirtbox, “Just a Gangster,” is a no-nonsense jump-up weapon designed to detonate dancefloors.

Chunky, rolling basslines collide with hard-edged drums and swaggering vocal chops, creating a track that straddles hip-hop attitude and DnB aggression. It’s a heavyweight statement of intent, a banger that will turn heads and announce gANGLADESH as a serious new contender in the global scene.

Cities EP 5 drops September 19th

@mr-jinx

Dirtbox Recordings proudly returns with the sixth instalment of its heavyweight Rock N Rollerz series, a project dedicated entirely to the driving sounds of rolling drum and bass and jungle.

Over the past five episodes, Rock N Rollerz has become a flagship platform for showcasing the core energy of the scene, and Episode 6 is no exception.

This time, we welcome none other than Jinx, a true Birmingham stalwart and pillar of the UK drum and bass movement.

Having been deeply rooted in the city’s rave culture since 1995, Jinx has carved out an unmistakable sound; raw, heavy, and unapologetically rolling. 

Beyond his long-standing connection to the Second City’s underground, Jinx also runs his own
imprint, Straight Up Audio, and boasts an impressive catalogue of releases on some of the biggest labels in the game including Sony Music, Bassrush, Anjuna, Ruffneck Ting, Foundation, Born On Road, Jungle Cakes, and Liondub to name just a few.

His four-track debut on Dirtbox Recordings sees him distil decades of experience into one of his most accomplished works to date. 

Each track captures a different facet of his style while staying true to the roots of jungle and rolling drum and bass. Opening with “Rage,” Jinx drops relentless Amens and chest-rattling basslines, setting the tone for what’s to come. “Call Me The Boss” steps in with attitude, blending commanding vocal samples and tight percussion to create a dancefloor destroyer
built for the sound system.

“Our World” takes things deeper with a hypnotic groove, heavy low-end pressure, and soulful vocal snippets that nod to the golden era of jungle. Closing the release, “Grunge” brings pure fire, fusing distorted bass textures, chopped breaks, and layered vocal cuts that perfectly capture the raw, forward-driving energy Jinx is known for.

Having graced the decks at our debut Rock N Rollerz event in Birmingham back in 2022, Jinx’s
connection to the brand runs deep. This latest release cements that bond and showcases his mastery in translating the energy of the rave into pure sonic form.

With Rock N Rollerz Vol. 6, Jinx delivers the sound of Birmingham to the world; fierce, forward-thinking, and full of groove. Each tune is loaded with Amens, weighty basslines, and the kind of vocal flair that defines the modern jungle movement. This one’s strictly for the heads.

Rock N Rollerz EP 6 lands exclusively on Beatport & Spotify November 14th, Everywhere else
November 28th.
