DJ SS & MC's Warren G, Phantom & The Ragga Twins - Warning 14-12-02 Urban Jungle

Something a bit different from me! A label that I've been meaning to do a deep dive on for some time, finally got the chance to sort my records and CDs and start a 2 part look at the awesome, forward thinking and downright jazzy New Identity Records! A Formation label started in 1996 by DJ SS, the label is still going today with a look at the deeper, jazzier, off the wall style of D&B. 

Here's a look at the jazzier 96/97 stuff. Will do a part 2 looking at more 97-2002 and the darker, techier sounds at some point...

01. Matrix - The Chase
02. Matrix - Slow Drift
03. Matrix - The Junk
04. Matrix - The Message
05. Matrix - Fluid Motion
06. Tango & Ratty - Time And Space
07. Allude 8 - Deep Minds
07. Mental Power - I Want
08. Allude 8 - Trumpets
09. The New Jazz Phenomeon - Harlem Shuffle
10. Barcode - Let The Music Be (SS Revamp)
11. Tekniq - Awakening 96
12. Allude 8 - The Gallery
13. Matrix - Snake Skin
14. Bassline Generation - Black Polished Chrome
15. DJ SS - Mediterranean Falls
16. DJ SS - White (Technical Itch Remix)

Thumpa - The Sound Of New Identity Part 1 (Formation sub label)

My live set from last night, 90 mins of new and old D&B. Crazy crowd!

Thumpa @ Lichfield Fuse Festival 12.07.25 (New & Classic D&B)

A deep dive into the early releases on the Back 2 Basics sub label that ran from 1994 to 2000, releasing music from Ascend, Ultravibe, Technical Itch, JB and more. At first glance the label could be considered 90s record box filler but I love how the label could hop from atmospheric jungle to vocals to big wobbly basslines and amens to hip hop jump up and darkness. Enjoy!

Thumpa - The Second Movement Sessions

Firstly i just wanna say big up for 1K followers, its been a grind!! 

Thought i'd switch it up and put out a minimal track i made a while back. This tune has been getting played around a few events so you may or may not of heard it. It's not my usual style but i hope you enjoy :)

🌪️ Force of the Future Vol.3 🌪️

We’re back with another heavyweight instalment of our flagship series, and this one’s stacked with four fresh-faced rising stars who are about to shake up your playlists.

Kicking things off is Fabric8 - Scum. Aptly named, this one’s pure gutter business, dark, deep, and dripping with that grotty DnB flavour, but twisted through Fabric8’s unique lens.

Next up, Fusion Season - Intense. The name says it all. Huge production, razor-sharp execution, standout business from a talent who’s turning heads fast.

Third in the lineup, GRIBR & Trapped - Texts. Collab energy at its finest - a catchy vocal hook sets the tone before dropping into an all-out grot fest that hits hard.

Closing the EP, Kefrennnn - Hostage. Oozing style, blending multiple influences effortlessly, this unknown name won’t stay unknown for long.

We pride ourselves on showcasing the best of tomorrow’s talent, and Force of the Future Vol.3 is proof we’re raising the bar once again.
