“Ipman has established himself as a force to be reckoned with over the last couple of years, bringing a lethal combination of unfaltering creative freshness and no-nonsense soundsystem pressure to the table. His music is held in high regard by Kryptic Minds, and this August sees them welcome Ipman to the Osiris Music UK crew to drop two blackened cuts of bruising tech-edged weaponry for the imprint’s 32nd release. The results are unreservedly dark and punishing, with ‘Persistent Dread’ driven by hypnotising sub bass body-blows that punch beneath a jagged swell of menacing sound design and mazing glitch melodies. The flip features the fierce rolling beats of ‘Signal Motion’, a lurching stomper that hits hard with chest-caving intent; deft snarls of mechanised snyths and titanium-grade kicks accent waves of deep dread frequency. A monstrous debut Osiris 12 from Ipman”
Easy everybody. It’s already halfway through the week! Time to celebrate hump day with some proper sounding bassweight. Today, as always, we are featuring some absolutely amazing tunes that we are sure you will enjoy. There are so many unreal tracks being released right now that it would be impossible to highlight them all so we are just going to bring forth a few that stand out the most to us.
The first track is due out for release on December 19, available through Surus first. This tune is an absolute BADMAN riddim’! Personally we have never heard anything from either of these two producers, call us lame, but we can guarantee that we will definitely be on top of their releases from here on out. Dub Phizix and Skeptical absolutely smashed the production on this one. To top off, the badass MC, Skeptical, spits some venomous bars to add some real vibes. Getting a release on Exit Records, which is a label run by D-Bridge, this tune has been getting relentless amounts of hype on the web, and rightfully so! Don’t forget the day that this track comes out!!! Test press’ went on sale early yesterday and were instantly sold out, we imagine the same story will follow for the official release. Massive out to the boys that made this tune, it’s straight up business.

The next release that we have for you was a recent release on Black Box’s ‘XXX’ special edition series. The original track is one done by Killawatt and is titled ‘Sidewinder’. This is yet another tune that Killawatt has produced in the finest of fashions. This bassweight roller gets the night started off real proper by easing you into a head nodding frenzy, and subsequently throwing some mysterious vocal cuts that compliment the soundscape quite nicely. The flip of this release is a remix that Ipman composed and is made for the dancefloor. The jungle-vibed break pattern of the drums incite flashbacks to our days of being strict junglists. Have a listen to both of these and don’t forget to purchase your copies either!!!

The next release that we have for everybody is one from the likes of TMSV, and just received a release on Black Box’s side label, Box Clever. The ‘A’ side, titled ‘Myth’, emits a truly tribal vibe while sending the listener through different low-end paths of thought. The bongos on this track keep the shuffle alive while keeping it nice and slow. The flip of this release, ‘Flow’, is another gem that TMSV can throw under the belt. This track starts off with vibes as the dark and ominous vocal sample immediately hooks you in. From there this track really takes form and offers a perfect balance of frequencies.

That’s it for today everybody. As always, we hope you enjoy the sounds! Spread the love to your friends and family, everybody deserves some proper bassweight in their life :).
Happy Friday everybody! With Halloween right around the corner, we thought there could be nothing better than to bring the sounds of Chestplate Records to your attention. The label hosts some of the darkest sounds in circulation, and is no secret to those who keep up with scene. Founded by the one and only, Distance, Chestplate Records lets their music speak for itself. The labels arsenal or artists consists of Distance, Cyrus, Tunnidge, District, and the labels newest member, Sleeper. Each and every one of these guys puts out some of the heaviest bassweight on the market. Distances reputation in the dubstep world is one comparable to Skream, Benga, or Pinch. In other words, HE”S HUGE. His backround of heavy metal and industrial music gives his sound an element that sets him apart from anybody else. What that element is I cannot describe with words, but take a listen to a couple of tunes and it becomes very clear that this man is a pioneer. His forthcoming EP, titled Meanstreak, has been one of the most anticipated releases of 2011. Within 24 hours of the preorders opening up, every 12″ pressed, was sold!! Distance and the rest of the Chestplate crew have made a HUGE imprint on ‘dubstep’ since it’s early beginnings and will continue to do so with the additions of artists like District and Sleeper. Below you will find soundcloud links to the Meanstreak EP and the rest of the Chestplate family. You can preorder the digital versions of Meanstreak here: http://www.surus.co.uk/chestplate/meanstreak-ep-14553.aspx , SO GET ON IT.
