When a collective of artists like Wingz, Nosfer, Dayle, Corrupted and Vorso get together and start a label you know they’re gonna deliver some sickness! Music Squad’s debut EP does exactly that and we’re hyped to be premiering Ordure’s contribution to the release today. Upper Crust plays with the wonky 20/20 style to deliver a massive slice of gully halftime bass business. Danger! Check it out below and look for the EP dropping April 2nd.

Samurai Breaks and Fragmented boss Dyrekt land on the latter’s label this month with a four track EP of dutty halftime goodness. To celebrate, we tracked them down and asked them for their Top 5 halftime cuts…check it out.
Conrad Subs returns to Default Recordings next month with another pair of old school techstep rumblers and we’ve got the exclusive on lead track Streets of Rage! Powered along by a driving bass rhythm and peppered with massive reese tears and distorted amens, this one is pure dancefloor destruction with an edge of funk; yes Conrad! Look for the single at all good stores from April 2nd.
Vancouver imprint Black Tuna Recordings return after a short hiatus with a new EP from Canadian production duo Levrige, and we’re hyped to have the exclusive premiere of Grym! Incorporating influences from hip-hop, trap and footwork into the halftime D&B template, this one has an infectious groove and some serious bassweight behind it. Sick!

Irish imprint Rua Sound continue their journey to the cutting edge of experimental D&B with a fresh EP from Lewis James. Clash melds a host of different influences, with soft, evocative synths on the intro giving way to darker elements as the tune drops into a weighty slab of jungle-infused halftime. Skittering drums and a big bad bassline are present and correct and the arrangement eschews the traditional “intro-verse-breakdown-verse-outro” format in favour of a gradual build and then a gradual fade, something we don’t see nearly enough of in the rigid structures of modern dance music. Watch out for the EP coming March 2nd at all good stores…
