Chase & Status have been around for a few years but it wasn’t until the recent remix of the White Lies’ release Death, that they caught my attention. The reason is quite simply, I do not like it.

So, as I will give everything a chance I investigated further into the band being as Mr Zane Lowe was raving about them. (I respect his judgement a vast majority of the time)

What I found was an an album called More Than Alot. Now this, THIS possessed a tune that made me shiver. Eastern Jam (which happens to be quite fortunately on their MySpace) made me bellow a roar of laughter in slight shock. What a “Cool As..” tune indeed!

More Than Alot begins with an easy listening, dreamscape DnB track which hooks you right into the album immediately with a steady pace making you question what the hell are they going to do next?! This is awesome!

Following that I swear has BBC Radio1’s, Scott Mills’ sidekick Chappers with a bunged up nose narrating through the Music Club. Got to love them bongo’s too.

Against All Odds features East Ham, Hip Hop Producer Kano vocalising a funky, headnodding, breakbeat floor-filler.

I could quite easily go on but the fact is, this album is a true delight with clean, tidy, seamless production with great, bouncing beats. The lovely Dub on Streetlife is sweet. SmashTV is an aggressive, club house wonder but if any deserve a mention it is Pieces featuring Plan B. When that kicks in, you damn well know about it. Thumping, height-of-the-evening, hardcore breaks. What impressed me most about this track is the way the two farthest ends of comparable genres are gelled and waxed together with a really shiney polish. Plan B’s had great backing. He’ll be facing the stratosphere destined to be in it after the release of his debut album The Defamation of Strickland Banks is out in the very near future.

More Than Alot the Drum and Bass, Breakbeat masterclass is out now. But at the minute, it’s all about the other Being.

Rusko dropping some filthy dubstep tuneage which is surrounded by a treasure trove of various remixes as well as a House version from the man himself. But surely there is not one that has the floor ripping capabilities as the original..

Personally, when it comes to the world of dubstep, Marlow is part of the hierarchy. Check out his remix of Owl City’s Fireflies too. The original is number one in the UK charts and he makes it sooo much better.

After a fantastic 2009 for SubFocus he’s starting as he means to go on with the release of this new track which has the typical variations for the hardcore clubber and the ever popular radio listener. This has a delightful house feel along with a right grimey dub tinge to it. No doubt this is going to everywhere and if it isn’t, WTF not?

No matter what mood you are you’ll always be smiling after the few few bars of ANY record by Dreadzone. Their album Once Upon A Time has been played in full everyday this week and you must have it in your collection. Not all the tracks are everybody’s taste but there is something that everyone will adore and love. Fact.

After the last decade dubstep sneaked into various DJ’s vinyl box in many various remixes. With the dawn of a new decade, the Teens will have Dub everywhere and it will further come into it’s own. Ed Solo shows us all how it is done. 2010 is the year of Dubstep.

Every now and then you’ve got to throw something a little deeper and harder into the mix and there is no-one better to do it than the main man Marlow with this bombing bassline number along with some badass synths. Keep your ears out for him as I expect 2010 to be a big dubstep year and he will be up there at the top with all the big names. He already is a big name in the Dub world actually!

This track should come with a warning label on it. It’s dirt, filth and sheer wrongness!

“So hot this is Smokin’! Just how sublime is this? This is DnB etiquette defined”

How fantastic it is to listen to something which is sooo cool.

From NZ, Fat Freddy’s Drop are from the other side of the world to where I am. This second studio album titled Dr Boondigga & The Big BW is a delightful ensemble of instruments from trumpets to harmonicas, digital effects and vocals, bass and some lovely deep dub sounds which have influenced the band from across the globe. It doesn’t sound messy, cluttered but refined and clean. The engineering work is truly a masterful piece of production.

Soulful to the max, a reggae feel yet with a more blues tint to it withoutcoming across as bluesy. the dance tunes hum and bounce brilliantly and the more lyrical tracks are soft, sweet and harmonious to the point where I feel I’m still experiencing summer.

The Camel featuring Alice Russel (which is a shame not to hear on their MySpace player but it is the track below) is a perfect example of the entire bands talents all working superbly well as the comprehensive collective. The track sounds simple and light but the bass is absolute quality with such a dreamy and airy ambience to it.

This is fat, funky, soul food for the brain in the form of some warm vibrations. Totally non-offensive, soothing and healing. A great record and I am happy it has managed to get to these shores too.

Cannot wait to see this guy this weekend, it’s gonna be SIICK!

“If there’s ever a dance track which embodies all the traits required to be an All-Time Classic, the giver of the spinal chills, the giver of goosebumps, the giver of the ultimate head-nodding, foot-stomping or just quite simply a track that’ll make you weep due to the fantastic awesomeness, this is THAT tune.”

“This is just a killer dub-lined track that’ll shiver the vertebrae to the point of it resembling the fucky chicken”

These boys are Far Too Loud, soon to be parting ways are the duo to do solo projects so Far Too Loud will still be existing which is fantastic news and Neurodriver is now born!

I love Far Too Loud! They have the sound that levitates you, picks you up and down a few shots of fresh air ready to take on the world. Inspiring, passionate and filthy! A sheer electronic delight.

Check out their tracks! Top ones for me are What’s Goin’ On, Play It Loud and the new All Is Machine record available from their MySpace site .

Click here for ALL, yes, ALL Far Too Loud Tracks on My MySpace.

“Banging breaksbeat that’ll make you want to go out everytime you here them. Awesome stuff!”

This tune has the ability to eradicate all negativity throughout! Friggin’ delightful.
