From Cygnus Music: Skull & Bones kicks us off, with its funky, lilting intro, which drops into some rolling Eastern effects. Bass is never far away, underpinning MC Kwality’s deep, resonating rhymes. Things get minimal after the intro, with booming pads taking the helm, along with continued percussion and mini-breaks. The atmosphere is menacing, whilst maintaining musicality. Skull & Bones is pure soundsystem fodder, ready to wreck any sound, anywhere. Get ready to hear this one at all the festivals this summer.

Next up on Critical Music’s Modulations imprint comes a showcase from one of the most talked about names in UK hybrid bass music right now. Heavily supported by the likes of Kasra, Shy FX, dBridge, Mark Pritchard, Rockwell, DJ Die and many more, Sam Binga talks us through this dance floor fire release in his own words…

"I guess the main idea behind 'AYO!' was to make something crunchy and lo-fi, but still heavy enough for the
floor. I think I was listening to a lot of Timbaland beats around the time I built this one - I've always loved the
massive kicks and weird squashy snares he uses, so I wanted to try something along those lines at DnB speed.
The rest seemed to flow quite organically and Redders brought his usual charisma and animation to the vocal.
Like the man says, everyone knows he mashes up the show…
'Freezy' is a bit more straightforward - something like a tribute to classic bouncing-subs jungle, but with added
southern crunk vibes and a chunky halfstep beat. If I remember rightly, there's a gun being cocked over each
snare, and I brought the hardware sampler out to get the pads and synths sounding suitably 1995."

Colours is the best stepper to be released on Utopia so far.  A funky infectious step combines with vocal rudeness to create something simple yet detailed.  Highly DJ friendly yet retains a sophistication not found in many 2 step flavours.

As the build up to the ever impending release of Jubei’s “To Have & Have Not” Album continues we tease even further with this ultra limited release of this 10” hand stamped, hand signed and hand numbered vinyl release including two of the (many) stunning highlight tracks taken from the L.P.

“The Moment” picks up exactly where Jubei and Flowdan’s gargantuan anthem “Say Nothin” left off. The result once again prove that In combination the pair are nothing short of explosive, the track should carry a health warning, devastation is 100 percent guaranteed here, no prisoners will be spared and every dance floor will be left in tiny pieces as once again Jubei and Flowdan deliver their collaborative brutal genius.

As if that wasn’t enough the flip backs up with “Tip the Scales” written alongside Marcus Intalex and featuring everyone’s favourite Manchester MC DRS. “Tip the Scales” reaches into the deepest, darkest depths, providing that late rolling shuffle to keep the headz nodding and the people moving, the perfect compliment to the A side and again another snapshot of the overall brilliance from the album itself.


Finishing off everything nicely and just for the physical product buying fans out there we are issuing the release via an extremely limited number of exclusive 10” white label presses - all of which are all individually numbered, signed and hand stamped by Jubei himself, pre-order's have already mounted for the limited release so we expect that these 10"s will be disappearing rather rapidly.  Grab a unique piece of Headz history fast as we’re sure these wont hang around for long.

META014 is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly anticipated Metalheadz releases in the label's entire history! This milestone outing sees a long overdue debut release for one of the drum and bass scene's greatest talents Dom & Roland. His constant output of critically acclaimed work, over nearly twenty years, has contained some of the biggest tracks this genre has ever spawned. We proudly present two brand new outstanding examples of his production genius for your listening pleasure. 

Both sides of this release are already instantly recognisable to most discerning and non-discerning fans and both will no doubt become future classics, just as you might anticipate from Dom's first Metalheadz outing. 

'Unofficial Jah' draws inspiration from Goldie's ground-breaking seminal 1995 album 'Timeless'. Crafting the recognisable elements toward a direction that perfectly fits the track's title. Dom stamps his unmistakable champion sound into a Goldie classic, creating a truly heavyweight, dubbed out reconstruction of epic proportions. 

'Outta Endz' perfectly completes an essential release with a piece of music that has been destroying dance floors and leaving people setting all the regular forums and club convo’s alight with the question “What is that Outta London vocal tune!?” It's intro pads leading up to a stuttered repeated cry of “Straight Outta London” before dropping into a track so big it's practically an instant rewind. Truly a 'must have' piece of vinyl. 

To finish off the release, the stunning sleeve art fittingly depicts a new take on the classic Metalheadz logo, the lion has awoken! Let Jah be praised!

Philth’s 'Inspiration EP' bridges the gap between maniacally heavy bass 
and intelligent techy rollers. For the past year his productions have been unstoppable, 
lean, explosive and very, very mean. 2013 promises big things for this bass composer!

While The Upbeats may explain their choice of album title with the humble statement “We’re not super tech geeks, we’ve always felt our approach to production is quite simple.” Anyone who knows anything about this duo’s music can tell you that the end results sound far from primitive. The cheeky-grinned New Zealanders have filled dance floors and iPod playlists around the world with their unique take on drum & bass for nearly a decade, yet their music is sounding fresher than ever; as their impressive new album is about to prove.

‘Primitive Technique’ is an album that caters to many but compromises for no one, and with techniques that may be primitive The Upbeats have crafted an album that sounds undeniably modern.
