UK Rudeness! Blazing out of the blocks with a sound fully charged for the breakbeat revival, Yosh inaugurates Vivid with this appropriately vibrant set of UK bass music belters. Taking the best elements from jungle, garage and more, lead track "It's Over" bursts forth in a cascade of rolling drums before the moody sub bass stylings of "We Rewind" takes over. Things get a little more aquatic on crafty tripper "Slow Down", and then the drums come right to the forefront of the mix on crisp and deadly EP closer "Pick Up Roll On." With impeccable production values and a liberal dose of UK rudeness, this is an essential fresh grip for anyone wanting some fresh jungle derivatives in their lives.

Heist is showing he can do it all and staying true to his name across five sumptuously deep rollers that will tickle the itch of any liquid head who likes things sophisticated. It's Liquid Lab, after all, and the standards are high. 'Watermelon Girl' is top quality, with gorgeously warm instrumentation that provides a backdrop of instrumentation to the soulful vocal sample and delightfully crisp drum work. It's a subtle track with oodles of character. 'End Game' is light as can be, with a touchin, rolling bassline that morphs into a wobbling sub bass, whilst 'Back To Hers' is more of the ethereal style we've come to expect from Liquid Lab. Gorgeous.

Birmingham native Teknical arrives on FX909 MUSIC with two tracks that testify to his talent. The melancholy of 'A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM' burrows deeply into your soul. Few piano notes, a sci-fi pad and a minimal rolling beat alongside a long sub bass couldn't better define what an atmospherical deep roller is. 'JOURNEY' takes us into the half step field. The weird sci-fi atmosphere combined with an undeniable dancefloor vibe give this track something heavy for any DJ. You can expect more high-quality materials from this young gun in the future.

Review: Sikkabrain are here with their latest release for the new year, a single from Colda & Tippa Dread. This label always - repeat, ALWAYS - bring out the goods with their tunes and this release is no different, sitting very nicely in the modern, up-to-date brand of attitude-filled D&B pioneered by the likes of Serum and Bou. 'Rough Like Rhino' exemplifies this perfectly, with a rough and diving bassline that will definitely sit well with the discerning D&B head. 'Bust The First Part' is another creative cut, its spooky bassline definitely setting it apart from others. A shoutout to all the crew on this one.

The Infernal Sounds team have gained a real reputation for their respectful showcasing of the deeper side of the dubstep sound, which is why we were so excited to see a legendary figure such as Cluekid landing a potent two-tracker on the impressive imprint. We begin with the super nostalgic LFO designs and colourful, breakbeat-influenced drum arrangements of 'Electric Avenue', a warbling masterclass in original dubstep wizardry. On the flip, 'Horizontal' gives us an opportunity to explore Cluekid's more melodic side as we are greeted by regal sounding horn-lines and glittering synthesizer patterns to match, before descending into more wobbly madness!

Review: One of drum & bass' most talent breaksmiths makes a return to 1985 with his second EP on the label, and boy is it a banger. Velocity touches upon the breadth of styles we've come to expect from Fracture, as 'Shada Shada' lopes along with effortless groove and sophisticated bashment flow and Nah Eto puts on a shockingly good performance in the vocal layer. 'Avian' is more considered drum & bass spaciness, with celestial synth nodes and a breezy atmosphere that reminds us of Exit Records. 'Latee Killer' is the slammer of the bunch, with off-kilter drum work and a might kick drum that'll follow you into your sleep, and 'Biscotti' is a stab-laden, frantic roller with plenty of attitude. Big ups.

Review: Hospital Records' most talented liquid producer is back on the label with his latest exercise in deft touches and soft strokes, as Mitekiss stretches his legs out across four utterly sublime cuts. The title - Night Bus Stories - evokes imagery of melancholic early mornings gazing out the window at the city beyond, and it perfectly aligns with the aesthetics of this EP. 'City Angels' is our highlight, as as Milo Merah and RSWT cover both bases of soulful melancholia and urban spoken word, the vocal element to an instrumental that's luxurious in its depth and and nonchalant in its sophistication. 'Rain (Falling Down) is even more stripped back in its approach to liquid, 'N68' is, we assume, Mitekiss' local night bus and its represented by devilish bass notes and fractious breaks. It rounds up on the eccentricity of 'Ring Alarms' feat. Javeon, and will leave you feeling all wistful, warm and squishy inside. Beautiful.
