A brand new Streetlife release in the form of Gold Dubs & Cheshire Cat’s ‘Bitter Creek’ EP is about to hit the virtual shelves. It’s a massive mixture of heavyweight bass, moody vocals and destructive beats. Check it..

‘Bad Boy Deya’ proves that not everything has to be at 175 beats per minute with its mucky, cantankerous bassline that drones underneath Cheshire Cat’s crisp vocals. Certainly one for all the bad boys inna dance skirting the corners and screwing up their face.

Doubling up the tempo in the form of ‘Control’ with bright and bashy beats, summertime vocals and continually stabbing bass notes that demand even the stiffest of person to shake a leg. Can you guess the name of that classic break used in this? One for the original hardcore crew.

Don the camo sticks with ‘War Paint’ as the smoke fills the room and bass drones fire off all over the place. Cheshire Cat comes into his own on this with vocals literally flooding the speaker box. Instant ammunition and a sure fire hit - danger!

Lickin’ shots from the very top in the form of ‘Raise The Banner’, this high energy track is reminiscent of the vibes created by reggae sound system trucks and would certainly be at home at a clash. Drop this one in a battle and the claxon will sound in a second flat.

Concluding on ‘Steppin’, Cheshire Cat throws down some knowledge and wisdom combined with the lowest of bass which will no doubt force the speaker hugging brigade to the floor. Weighty in every sense and a fine way to end this EP.

Serial Killaz is quite possibly THE home of jungle, don’t squat with the minority and don’t watch face.

Exclusively on the Serial Killaz shop for one week before general release.

The Force, an artist that championed the ever changing jump up scene in the early 2000’s is back for 2017 with a corker of an EP via Serial Killaz. ‘Pussy Sound’ is coming live and direct to your speaker box and it’s taking no prisoners. If you loved ‘Welcome to Earth’ and ‘Drop Zone’, this one is for you.

‘Hipster’, a direct swipe at anyone still rocking the man bun or spray on jeans from Topman crushes mid to low end frequencies aplenty and in some respects, takes a hefty chunk of influence from that original Clipz vibe. Singalong riffs and smiling faces guaranteed.

Switching direction with ‘My Love’ presents a totally different take on things with an almost commercial friendly vocal hook and smoothed out intro. A few moments in though and it’s quite obvious The Force were not looking for a spot on the drivetime show as this one’s without a shadow of a doubt aimed at the bass bin crew.

The title track from the EP is a wonky affair of interconnecting beats and breaks that has a shuffle vibe all over it. If this was 1994 the MIDI clock would be going nuts over the amount of swing on offer here! Aimed at the comfy ravers in some sliders without a doubt.

Wrapping up with ‘Serious Music’ and some punchy snares that came straight from 2007. Combine that with a hefty slab of Casio influenced midrange bass and it’s an ideal tune to end the EP with.

Certainly something different from the usual Serial Killaz vibe and something that will no doubt ring home with fans of upfront and slightly older jump up (I’m in no way saying old school here!)

Beast Mode, the talented duo hailing from both the UK and France are back on the Serial Killaz label with a heavy slice of ragga infused jungle breakbeat with their ‘Bossman’ EP. If you’re playing this on a huge stack of speakers in the middle of a field 10 miles shy of the M25 or licking down shots at your local house party it’s sure to cause a multitude of reloads.

Setting the tone with the title track, ‘Bossman’ is a fine introduction to what’s in store. From the off it’s clear this really is a jungle EP and not something conjured up to capitalise on the roots of the scene.

‘Cool It Down’ beams sunshine, crashing breakbeats and singalong vocals before entering into a battle of the Amen breaks and rumbling basslines. It really is that perfect mix of uplifting vibes and destructive beats to please a multitude of audiences.

Beast Mode send a salute to all ‘Original Junglists’ courtesy of some legendary vocal samples. Mix this with roughneck beats and bass, twisted Amen chops and some lighter fluid and you’re back in 1994 in an instant. FIRE!

Lastly ‘Ganja Baby’ and let’s be honest, you can’t have a fully fledged jungle EP without mentioning the herb can you! This one has been specifically produced to make your head nod and the infectious vocal hook will entice plenty of erratic dance moves all over the place.

This EP is sure to sit at front of digital record boxes for many months to come and with a huge lineup of releases from Serial Killaz over the summer months it’s sure to set things off with a bang.

Everyone loves the word dubplate. It’s something that’s bashed about the scene pretty loosely these days but what’s serious amiss is that actual dubplates were pressed to promote tracks before promo copies were even considered.

Taking that fact into consideration you wouldn’t think Serial Killaz would even touch a release under the title ‘Dubplate’ without it being of serious quality would you? Of course not!

This EP from Limited is firing all kinds of shots – bring forth the flamethrowers.

The title track, ‘Dubplate’ provided a staple amount of reggae infused new school jungle although the switch here is that the bassline layering is a combination of hefty subs and glossy metallic tones that physically rip through metal speaker mesh. If you’re watching the red lines, this one is a serious warning to sound engineers.

‘Gang Related’ has been bashed to bits by DJs currently supporting this EP and for a valid reason. It’s a nasty piece of filth that belongs in the gutter, the type of track you would only dare to drop in a really moody dance. Not one for the festival, not one for the radio – just smoke, lazers and darkness.

Switching things 360 degrees with ‘Colour’, a bright and upbeat number with plenty of funk and wobbles. It’s screaming out to be sandwiched into something equally as devastating and for those that understand the true meaning of double dropping, it’s going to be right up your street. Dangerous on it’s own, murderation in a link up.

‘Hit The Streets’ brings the vibe into new territory with plenty of panic ridden vocals, rumbling basslines and skippy swing breaks. Another moody track yet totally different to ‘Gang Related’ due to it’s upbeat breakbeat structure and vocal driven atmosphere.

Lastly ‘Ready’ and boy is this tune a big one! Incredibly well known vocal samples, gunshot effects and no-nonsense production make this an amazing end to the EP. The reversed speech effects combine effortlessly with the recurring “one two” which will have any crowd humming along (which certainly seems to be the in thing at present!).

Shots from the double chamber, Limited is set to cause a ruckus with his new EP this year and Serial Killaz are certainly not standing in his way!.

Upgrade, well known for his skills creating huge dancefloor bashers returns to the Serial Killaz label to unleash his brand new EP ‘Temper Tantrum’. He’s obviously been taking his recent automobile frustrations out on the mixing desk as this collection of tracks bangs harder than a head on collision on the M1.

The title track ‘Temper Tantrum’ provides the perfect introduction to the forthcoming mayhem with an infectious synth hook which is swiftly mimicked by a roughly layered bassline and Wild West vocal stabs.

‘It’s Possible’ keeps the pace rolling with the promise of virtual bombs exploding across the rave. It’s another heavily riff driven track that’s screaming anthem and will no doubt have had ravers humming that gritty patten way after the 6am cutoff.

Next up on the agenda is ‘Terrorick’. Guided by a ton of excellent vocal samples, it’s the perfect quick turnaround that any DJ looking for snappy devastation will need. With no let off from the word go, it’s another addictive track that will leave you within an inch of exhaustion, no matter what your dancing style.

Toning down the initial pace, ‘Blow’ provides images of a more glamorous setting but this is obviously a false pretence as it’s quick to change into a throbbing monster of a track. The trick here is the switch at 1:30 which takes the pace to another level. A perfect way to change the style and direction of a tune and it works so well. Forget your key changes, this is where it’s at!

Finishing off this immense EP is ‘Run This Again’. The sublow guiding element to the intro will have any die hard ravers in pieces even before the ever so popular drop, and what a drop it is! Layers upon layers of drums, bass switches, more bass switches and everything in between make this final track an absolute killer from Manila.

This EP from Upgrade really does show why he’s a notch above most in the drum and bass scene. If you sleep on this, you really are missing out and with DJ support from the likes of Andy C and Skrillex to name a few, it’s time to unleash your temper.

One half of the drum and bass duo Bass Brothers, Dez had a busy year in 2016 releasing an onslaught of tracks, all coming with huge DJ support. Kicking off 2017 he’s bringing the ‘Rockers EP’ to the legendary Serial Killaz label and quite rightly so – it’s packed with 4 wicked tunes that do the brand justice.

Kicking off with ‘Full A Ganja’, a track that fuses house synth stabs with reggae vocal samples, an odd combination you may think? One thing is for sure though, it works so well and blends directly into full on beats and bass that are guaranteed to make the dance floor explode into a frenzy of arms and legs all over the place.

Totally flipping the script on the next tune ‘House of Madness’ is way off the radar when it comes to the vibe left from the previous 3 tunes. As the title may suggest, it’s a war riddim surrounded by B movie vocal samples, crushing synth stabs and ever pounding basslines. Maybe Capcom should have picked this one up to coincide with the launch of their new Resident Evil game… BIG!

‘Mr Kali’ featuring Turno follows up with smoothed out reggae vocals and pads which effortlessly roll out into huge growling bassline and tribal beats. Certainly one for the smokers and ravers alike! This one has been doing so much damage on dub over the last few months it’s no wonder the reaction has been spot on.

Last but by no means least is ‘Rockers’ featuring a barrage of vocals, funked up percussion and rolling bass. Experimental business that will leave your head nodding hours after the track has finished playing. Hardstep crew, this one is without a doubt you!

If you’re looking for a collection of 4 smashers and no fillers then this EP is 100% for you. From radio to rave, every one of these tunes fits as you would expect it to.

Alex Prestige has a string of drum and bass hits to his name and now he brings that almighty force to the legendary Serial Killaz label with the ‘Insane People’ EP. Full of B Movie inspired samples and a combination of dancefloor smashers and head rocking beats, this EP will fit into any DJs virtual record box whatever their requirements.

‘Flea’ kicks off proceedings with it’s grungy bassline and simplistic beat structure that gels with the overall tune structure like Super Glue. It’s a relentless piece of jump up that rarely stops to give you a breather.

You have no doubt already heard ‘Way It Is’. It’s been almost impossible to get away from this tune over the last 3 months and to be honest, it’s had such a well deserved reception it’s no wonder why. With it’s DJ friendly intro and crushing swing beats it’s certainly a deadly weapon and will have crowds bouncing like nobody’s business.

‘Stressed Out’ takes a totally different approach with vintage oriental samples leading the way for a mere 20 seconds before crashing into a deadly drop of destruction. This one is certainly firing on all cylinders!

The title track of the EP ‘Insane People’ gives a false pretense of calm, building up with pads, and soft hi hats but that’s about as relaxing as it gets. When Alex Prestige makes a bonkers track he really does set his mind to it and this one is certainly no exception.

‘Injury’ has a similar build as ‘Insane People’ although leads into a totally different direction. Rather than crazy midrange bass lines, this one opts for growling, sliced bass notes, crunchy snares and haunting pads.

Don’t sleep on this, it’s a massive collection of brand new beats for your ear.
