In light of the horrors that we are all witnessing in Ukraine, we wanted to help in at least some small way.

This track from Liebus has been one of my biggest dance floor heaters of the last six months and he has kindly agreed to put it up as a 99p + pay more if you want download with all the proceeds immediately going to donation.dec.org.uk/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal

If you like the banger and can spare the money then you know it will be going to a good cause.

Here’s hoping for as swift a resolution as possible over in Ukraine.

Chungo - Zero Day [Dudbridge Garage International]

From end to end the street was filled with all your wants and needs. You could get practically anything and everything here: sweet spices in beautiful packages; well-loved clothes; hordes of bric-a-brac; dusty vinyl and tapes; hot homemade dishes from all over the world. Each vendor had their own specialty or expertise; nobody stepped on anybody's toes, there was no sense of competition. They were one huge family who looked out for one another.

Dudbridge Garage International return for their last release of the year courtesy of their own co-head Chungo. Alongside fellow label boss LeftLeft, the Lisbon-based artist has moulded the label into a platform for expertly produced UK bass and garage - you'll know a Dudbridge release when you hear it. On the sixth release Chungo draws on these sounds in his own singular way. Over the course of three tracks he showcases his precision at sound design, matching signature chopped and screwed vocals with heavy bass lines and crisp, swung drum patterns.

Infinity Drums EP

Blâme - Infinity Drums

True child of the soulseek generation, @pura_pura 's roots crawl deep into juke and footwork, via Miami bass, gangsta rap and bass-loaded contemporary club. Currently one of France’s fastest rising beatmaker, this daredevil drops bangers-only sets over the country as well as regular appearances on Rinse and Pinata Radio, always spiced with his hyper club edits of Ice Spice to Kraftwerk via Yussef Dayes.

Using soundscapes and noises recorded on his iPhone between his flat and music studio in Montpellier, these 5 tunes are shaped around a particular time of a contemporary club night, from punchy house to peak time breaks. This for-the-club release is Pura Pura’s debut on Global Warming Records, and an obvious connection from people who love building constant bridges between UK and France.

Puppet-master Chungo unveils an EP of four stunning 2-step productions with his first release of 2025 - 'DBGI007'. The rhythm architect has been carefully sculpting his own unique 2-step style over a slew of releases on labels such as Scuffed Recordings, Accidental Meetings and his own flagship imprint Dudbridge Garage Intl. With Corsa, Pupazzo, Imbarco & Aurora, Chungo has perfected his formula, presenting four masterfully crafted and glistening UKG gems.

The tracks are born from the concept of being sonically coerced into movement, distilled down to the essential elements of rhythm; bass, vocals and drums. Having studied the phenomenon of rhythm based primarily on the writings of Tiger C. Roholt, Chungo explores the idea of groove as the puppeteer and the listener the puppet (Pupazzo in Italian). With the elements perfectly balanced, they lock into the internal metronome of the listener, turning motion into a necessity.

These rhythmic concepts coupled with Chungo's signature sugar-sweet production stylings make for an EP of pure UKG bliss that cuts through the noise and demands dance-floor participation.

Mixdown could still use some work

UGHH

Laughter and chatter filled the streets, a chorus of energy that could not be tempered. Not today, not after all this time spent solely with one's own thoughts. The atmosphere was joyous, a coming together of friends and family; faces that hadn't been seen in months, long awaited exchanges that seemed as though they'd never materialise. But here they were, all together as if nothing had kept them apart in the first place. 

Following their inaugural release in February - a split EP from label co-captains LeftLeft and Chungo - Dudbridge Garage International offer up their second outing, this time a solo EP from the latter label head. With several previous releases on Scuffed Recordings, the Bristol-based producer turns his attention to his own imprint with a three tracker of club tools that flaunt meticulous percussion, time-stretched vocals and syncopated drums, crafted with UKG sensibilities.
