Serial Killaz

Returning to the Serial Killaz label with a bang, Jaydan unleashes a monster collection of tracks for your ear. It’s been a minute since he locked himself back in the lab and already he’s been churning out more of that trademark production than ever before. He also made some big promises leading up to this and with no hesitation, Jaydan delivered.

‘War Clash’ brings forth an intro jacked straight out of 1995, brushed up to date with modern flair and slammed straight into the speakerbox. Rolling drums, abrupt bass and twisted out amen breaks - a true recipe for success and a devastating tool for any well respected DJ.

Influences in abundance in the shape of ‘The Whistler’ and it goes without saying that Jaydan has certainly pulled on some previous memories with this one. Jump up from 2005 mixed with upfront jungle breaks that shouldn’t really work as well as it does.

‘Babylon’ features one hell of an atmospheric introduction that slides right into a full on pattern of steppy breakbeats and aggy basslines. This one brings forth the danger!

Reminiscing on the supply and demand era of everybody's favourite media, ‘Vinyl’ is one serious beast. A sense of frustration conveys from not only the vocal samples but the aggressive, spine tingling bassline that comes shortly after the intro.

Certainly a mixed bag of styles and flavours from Jaydan. No doubt after hearing you this you will also agree that he’s back on top form and ready to rumble. Here’s to more from this talented producer and DJ.

Lowriderz, fresh out of the jungle war comes another heavy slab of unfiltered breakbeat goodness in the form of the ‘Underwater EP’. Featuring the vocals of Russian Dancehall and Reggae MC, Steppa Style, this is another wicked release from the Serial Killaz offshoot label Street Life which once again shows how dedicated these guys are to authenticity.

Lead vocals from the one like Steppa Style kickstart proceedings straight away featuring one hell of a catchy hook that will have crowds chanting for days. ‘Underwater’ is a direct onslaught on the senses with a ton of mashed up breakbeats, dub effects and a short ranged lead bassline that bangs.

‘Eva Load’ delivers some real lyrically education. A great feel good message, excellent double timing all wrapped up in glossy production that this dynamic duo are well known for.

Reminiscent of ‘94 yet as upfront as you could possibly wish for. Street Life and its artists really are a winning combination for die hard junglists of all ages.

Steppa Style & Lowriderz Feat Veak 'Underwater EP' (Minimix)

AJ Mutated, one half of the popular duo Mutated Forms, sets his sights on the Serial Killaz imprint to launch his ‘Uneasy’ EP. A clear choice of label considering the style of fashion of the content. This is a rare selection of jungle breakbeats, hard as nails sublow bass and some wicked lyrics from the one like MC Busta. Rough to the core!

‘Uneasy’ certainly is just that. From it’s precisely filtered out breakbeat intro that delicately flows into a drop it’s total opposite that sets the pace and tone for the EP immediately. Vicious digital bass notes connect almost effortlessly with rolling undertones and short but snappy snare claps. You’re also treated to an extended breakdown halfway through, just for that extra breather. Right?

Wonky, off pitch keys lead straight into ‘Swerve’. A proper dedication to a messy night if you ever heard one. The brain melting synchronisation will either have you reaching for the lazers or camping next to the corner of the bassbin stack.

‘Petty Boulevard’ knocks on the experimental production door with alien like sub bass that would rip through wooden dance floors like a knife through butter. Old school hardcore heads will no doubt appreciate the cleverly adapted samples in this belter!

A ‘PHD In Junglism’ you say? That’s no doubt reserved for the likes of Serial Killaz themselves no? MC Busta would certainly have something to say about that and this killer track which is totally lyrically led is sure to be one of the biggest hits of the year for any self respecting junglist.

Licking off the EP with nothing short of the brutal ‘Pipe Dreams’. A solid head stomper of a riddim that knocks off any preconceptions anyone might have had about AJ Mutated going soft after all these years.

A certified roughneck EP. No further comment.

The Force steps up to the Serial Killaz label with a monster collective of jump up anthems
strictly aimed at ripping a gaping hole in your bass bins.

Everyone loves a singalong bassline right? If that’s the case then you’re onto a winner here
with both ‘Street Talk’ and the EP titled ‘Videodrome’ containing incredibly infectious pitched
up high jinx. Double timed kicks and snare roll through like a VHS on fast forward which
guarantee a ton of swinging jaws across the dancefloor. Gurning you say?

A Serial Killaz release wouldn’t be official without a nod to jungle and ‘Rastafari’ certainly
delivers. With roots as deep as to be expected, The Force know how to craft a jungle riddim
and with elements of ‘94 combined with 2018, it’s one of those sneaky riddims that will
surprise even the most dedicated of train spotters.

Both ‘Safe Space’ and ‘Monster Club’ take the stance of murky and muddy basslines that
leave an almost hard step like vibe behind their destruction of the speaker stack.

Licking shots with ‘Quaalude’, a final love letter to Clipz and a sure fitting one at that. Ride
the impressive wave of layered up basslines and feel the vibe, which after all, is what this
and every other Serial Killaz release is about. VIBES

Fresh from a busy 2018, Exile returns to the Serial Killaz label with his huge ‘Rainforest’ EP. Certainly full of surprises, this collection of beats for your ear is nothing short of diverse and will no doubt take you on a proper trip of the jungle.

Grizzly, grotty basslines drive ‘One of Them’ and certainly follows suit in terms of the tone of the EP. Taking things back with lead track ‘The Rainforest’. Battered on dub for what seems like an eternity and certainly well known for its simplistic high pitched lead riff that has ravers chanting it over and over.

80’s B movies vibes a run in the form of ‘Left For Dead’. A serial head nodder of a track that creates the illusion of running through a dense forest at high speed, getting bashed in the face by thick branches and living to see another day.

Licked back vibes in the form of ‘Sound Bounce’ which switches the pace of the EP down a notch. On the other hand ‘Psychedelic’ takes the trip to another level with layers of crashing breaks, reggae loops and label vibes for miles.

MC Decoy licks shots over ‘Rebellion’ alongside Exile and Dubzero. Combined it’s a raw, unfiltered track with a certain score to settle. Tough lyrics, tough bassline and some natty drum programming equals in a one zero finish.

A great start to 2019 and with plenty more in the pipeline, Serial Killaz are set to have another successful schedule for the year. Hold tight!

Exile - Rainforest EP

Premiere: Exile - Sound Bounce [Serial Killaz]

Junglists worldwide rejoice as now is your time to pick up the full package from Mozey as ‘Back to Funk’ hits the digital shelves. A 5 track onslaught of the senses and certainly something for everyone as jungle meets jump up for 2019.

The title track ‘Back to Funk’ certainly lives up to expectations with its staggered bass notes that fire off all over the place, rebounding off walls and taking heads with them. The same can also be said for ‘Your Imagination’ which is straight up murderation, taking no prisoners with its militant tones. A true steppa if you ever heard one!

A Serial Killaz release wouldn’t be authentic without a splash of reggae influenced jungle and ‘Greetings’ doesn’t disappoint. Licking summertime vibes across the dance floor before dropping into a murky, twisted combination of growling rumblings.

Downtempo vibes a run as Mozey links with veterans of the scene, The Ragga Twins, in the form of ‘Tribal Killaz’. A combination of hard step, kick drum let beats laced with lyrical flavours that only the twins could bring to a track.

Leaving you with nothing short of grimace in the form of ‘Screwface’. A sign off combining a locked jaw, red pupils and 10,000 shuffles in a pair of Reebok Classics. One of the rudebwoy crew.

Killa Dubz, Serial Killaz authentic offshoot continues to deliver brash, jungle beats and in true form follows up Java’s ‘Original Ruffneck’ with longtime label veteran Veak and his amazing EP ‘Amen Adventures’. Lighters and gas cans at the ready, this is another blazing delivery.

Veak chooses elements wisely with ‘Bad Load’. A well known vocal hook, oozing with passion and enthusiasm compliments the crushing breakbeats as if this could well have been an official flipside. If this doesn’t cause a surge of brocking out junglists, nothing will!

‘Badman Killa Sound’ revisits the tried and tested formula of tight echo and high pass filters layered to perfection over Amen mashed up breaks. This one is as ruffneck as they come and would certainly have been at home inna war in ‘94 let alone busting up a dance in 2019.

Flipping the script in true Veak style with the likes of ‘Bongo’ and ‘Never Leave’. Two very dangerous tracks filled with underground sublow basslines and murkey beats that will no doubt appeal to the corner lurkers.

Further chopped up breaks compliment this release and with a distinct Serial Killaz style and flavour, fans of the label will not be dissapointed.

Veak didn’t title this EP ‘Amen Adventures’ for no reasons and with a total of 10 mashed up breakbeat destroyers in the bag, this release is set to cause flames wherever it’s dropped.

Hailing from Newcastle and sticking directly to the Serial Killaz deep roots, Nectax delivers a fine slice of everything you would expect from this legendary label. ‘Paradox EP’ is a fine mashup of both classic and upfront styles with a firm nod to Nectax’s many influences. Heads from all all eras and all walks of life will appreciate the style and selection.

From the silky jungle flavours of ‘Paradox’ to the experimental building blocks of ‘Greedo’, Nectax delivers a audio journey of stretched and rolled breakbeats, proper sublow basslines and punchy vocal stabs and melodies. Memories of Jungle Splash may well come flooding back here, maybe even that moody basement party circa ‘95 with 500 sweaty ravers!

‘Hologram’ really is a true representation of lazers licking off shots through a haze driven dancefloor. Forgot Co2 cannons if you’re dropping this one as it’s all about the attitude - stick your head down and shuffle. A dynamic switch in the form of ‘Dice’ which is no doubt a true building shaker! Rumbling jungle basslines accompany skippy breakbeats and crashing drum loops which drive the vibes hard. ‘One More Sunset’ brings proceedings to a close with its flexed out rolling stance and melodic vibes. A fine end to a superb collection of tunes.

Jungle music has always been about vibes and feelings, both of which Nectax captures effortlessly here. Watch the ride!

No stranger to shelling down raves and studio sessions alike, Masker is back with a crate of rounds, C4 and juggernaut suits to blow the bloody doors off. Already a firm favourite with the Serial Killaz camp and having released previously via the Mixtape Series, it's no surprise he's back at it with his debut EP.

Every Ting hasn't left virtual boxes since it landed on dub and with its moody, rolling bassline and instant appeal to double drop it with everything in the same key range, it's not going near the trash can in a hurry. Dripping in Moschino, sticking to corners and grabbing you when you least expect it.

Jungle Lick follows suit but in a very '95 flavour, another reason why the diverse style of Masker's production has fallen so well with the label. Atmospheric vibes a run with Hush and certainly not one you want to fall into any K hole to. It's horror presence would freak out the dance like nobody's business so it's probably a good idea to shout the lighting technician to reach for the bright lights.

Harmonic Drones is a growler with attitude and nothing less. Cooking up some trouble in his studio has led to Masker lashing down all kinds of filth with this and it's another fine part of this EP that fits the title perfectly.

Title track business ends the EP and Fully Armed fills your speaker box full of colour, flooding those all important Serial Killaz vibes from ear to ear. A clever mix from Masker with elements of both his moody, sublow style and good vibes. It's like a bastard lovechild of good versus evil. Nasty yet satisfying regardless of the dance you're dropping it at.

Bun it down.

T>I and Saxxon combine forces and team up with foundation label Serial Killaz to bring you one hell of a throwback EP. These highly anticipated battle weapons have been waiting for the exact time to launch and that time is now..

The title track ‘Sundown’ and ‘11:55’ have a ton of funk injected into them and no doubt take inspiration from the many big tunes of the golden era of jump up. This is a big bonus and certainly not one single fog horn in earshot.

From the immense mid 90’s vibes of ‘Tracker’ to ‘Silent Earth’ and it's a bucket load of wobble bass, this EP really does demonstrate both producers versatility on the buttons.

What you get here from both T>I and Saxxon is their history and roots wrapped up into one tidy package and who better than to represent them than the Serial Killaz label. A junglist match made by the bass bin.

Dez and Serial Killaz have a great history together although he’s been slightly absent from our label for a while now. He’s like that long lost uncle who now and again turns up out of nowhere laden with dubplates which is exactly the kind of relative we like! Dez certainly lived up to expectations this time around with a weighty selection of 4 upfront jungle smashers for his ‘Dub Organizer’ EP.

Laced with Rodigan vocal shots and covered in reggae hooks, the lead tune ‘Dubplate’ takes a normal sub bass and reduces the threshold to below sea level. You would think with this level of low end Dez has some kind of superhuman hearing - that or a few SubPac’s strapped to his chest!

The title track ‘Dub Organizer’ rolls out huge chunks of beats, bass and vocals following the EPs theme of utter speaker devastation. ‘Shine Eye Girl’ throws out a lovely short of breath snare that perfectly slaps heads all over the dance. It also breaks through the mix to perfection, adding a certainly flair to the rumbling low end bass.

Locking things off with ‘Sound System’. A tune quite dissimilar to the previous 3 yet not out of place as you may be assuming. Technical switches in abundance and one potentially aimed as the crews taking it that little bit easier. We rollin’.

London certainly doesn’t need any long winded introduction as to its importance in the drum and bass scene and it’s no surprise that Kastro and Scudd chose to use inspiration from our legendary city for their first EP for Serial Killaz.

The title track ‘LDN TING’ reeks of intensity. If you were lucky enough to visit The End, imagine this going off at 2am next to a gang of gas and lighter equipped corner creepers. Its indestructible bassline riffs coincide perfectly with tough breaks, rolling percussion and a sneaky one liner vocal.

‘Ease Out’ takes a familiar and well loved stance, easily fitting into the Serial Killaz back catalogue. It’s flipped out, relaxed vibes of the intro combine perfectly with the rubberband style bass that certainly takes inspiration from vibes of an era gone by.
If there ever was a reason to kick back and skank out then the half step vibes of ‘Something About You’ is probably your one stop shop of 2019 and beyond. Showing their versatility in numbers here, Kastro and Scudd fire out a right old grumpy bastard of a tune with muddy beats, bass and a cheeky little arpeggiated riff.

Kastro and Scudd split into two for ‘Who We Are’ and ‘Forever’ respectfully. The first being a vocal led box of tricks, initial assumptions bring forth a commercial dancefloor track but that’s certainly far from the truth after the breakdown. Scudd takes the end of the EP and what a way to finish. ‘Forever’ jumps on the vibe of recent months with a bouncy house organ riff and skippy breakbeats.

A clever, well respected package that’s a fine tribute to the many genres, styles and flavours of our capital city. No ramping. Newcastle crew representing hard.

Shaping your own sound as a producer is a tricky business in drum and bass but Ozma has certainly nailed it. From his 2018 ‘The Adventures' EP it was clear that this talented producer from Russia had crafted his own unique blend of drum and bass which certainly borders on the line of insanity.

Take ‘Kingdom’ for example. Intro wise it delivers an atmospheric blend of building block beats and synth risers but the drop....the drop! A mental mashup of plugged out synth notes, clunky snares and drip fed basslines. Ozma certainly isn’t messing about with this release.

‘The Witch’ is a trip into the world of circuit bent 16-bit video game hijinx. Imagine Wonder Boy on acid and you’re on the right wavelength. ‘Iron Hammer’, a tune previously released in
2018 gets the VIP treatment with additional synth atmospherics and a ton of extra attitude. Taking elements of early hardcore stabs and the drive of a crazed gorilla, the cleverly named ‘Combo Bongo’ features a neat vocal sample and tripped up breakbeats that collide in perfect form with the tracks midrange bassline.

Wrapping things up ‘Expect’ continues the vibe but this time throws in some live vocals for good measure. Switching between half tempo and 175 odd, it’s one for the alternative crowd who likes to expect the unexpected. What else would you expect from Ozma? I mean,
seriously..

Diverse as they come and certainly another special signing for Serial Killaz, this EP is sure to appeal to fans inside and out of the genre.

Mark XTC and Exile are back at it again with their New Skool EP series. The first EP featured one of the biggest drum and bass anthems of the year ‘Take Me Away’ which is still shelling down raves across the world so expect big things from the second instalment.

‘Soothes My Soul’... you don’t even need a prompt regarding this vocal. Think early happy hardcore meets Serial Killaz style upfront jungle and you’re onto a winner here. If Slipmatt isn’t playing this in 2030 then... I’m sure he will be. A perfect example of how to cross over genres and make it work. What next, event promoters bringing back multiple genres in one arena? We can but dream.

Late 90’s house vibes and some clever time stretching feature on ‘Burning Up’. Certainly more of a tribute than a bootleg, this one kicks off with some lovely pad work, one hell of an iconic vocal and unexpected grotty basslines. It works well and delivers a solid punch in the gut and some hands in the air moments all at once. Magical.

If acid vibes are your thing then ‘Morse Code’ would certainly fit into a clash between bleeps and drum and bass. Marc and Exile fired up their MC-3030 for this one, circuit bent the hell out of it and added a vacuum bass motor for fun.

It’s no doubt the intro of ‘Oh Yeah’ harks back to the good old days of Mark XTC’s production career with superb breakbeats and memorable vocal stabs. It’s not only a love letter to ‘95 but a shout to 2020 in respect of the styles and flavours yet to come. Twisted basslines come to do serious damage here so watch your sub levels.

Something about the name of this EP from Kontakt leads you to believe that it's nothing short of mind bending music and if you’re on the same wavelength as us, then you’re probably right in your assumption. A brand new sound from the Serial Killaz label that’s full of ‘Drips, Trips and Slips’.

The lead track comes in the form of ‘Disassemble’. A tune so focussed on pitch bends and grotty pads that playing it repeatedly for too long will no doubt turn the rest of your street into one foot skanking zombies. ‘Planet 9’ is surprisingly more upbeat and somewhat jolly with it’s bright snares and kicks that probably symbolise the best part of your sonic trip. A perfect way to avoid any kind of comedown or morning after vibes. Someone pass the saxophone!

If you’re a DJ, you already know that the graveyard shift can either be bloody amazing or a pain in the arse. Thankfully, on this occasion Kontakt provided enough vibes and atmosphere to keep whatever party you’re at going. It’s also been said that dropping ‘Graveyard Shift’ on your next livestream can boost the number of shares by 50%. ‘Entropy’ is a strange beast, combining elements of other tracks from the EP and making one hell of a mash up. Probably best combined with some hellish behaviour and a couple of Red Stripes.

Licking off the EP, Kontak joins forces with Vital Elements for ‘Witness This’. A fine Serial Killaz staple that pays homage to the sound of the label and reminds fans why they came here in the first place. Something new combined with something old and boom.... It’s a wrap.
