Zane Lowe’s album of the week on Radio One and arguably the biggest cross over dance albums of the year lands this week and the scene goes nuts!

From the Guns and Roses sampling of Smash TV to the future UK number one record (you heard it here first!) that features UK hip hop king Kano and sounds like Jay Z himself delivered the lyrics, this album is INCREDIBLE!

Fans of good time and energetic dance music need to own this album and we are proud to be 110% behind it! Whether drum and bass is your thing or not these homegrown heroes need support from you today.

Wesley Matsell – ‘Bernwerk’ – Border Community

Bass Oddity!

http://ivibes.trackitdown.net/genre/drum_and_bass/track/728228.html

Randomer – ‘Blind’ – Medschool

Mate! What were you smoking when you made these tracks!? Unbelievable beats on this monster drum and bass debut from Randomer on Hospital Records little sister label Med School. Ultra heavy and experimental beats this is bound to go over the heads of a few folk but we think it's one of the best things we've heard for time. Pushing it forward.

Freeflow 45 – ‘Shift & Shock’ – iBreaks Bass

‘Full on party breaks here from Freeflow 45 on the iBreaks label. Huge rap vocals are layered over the top of this chunky monster that has a seriously phat old school laced bass synth thrown in for good measure too! Take a look at the flip more more of the same, very nice indeed!’

Have a great weekend, and remember - if you can’t be good, be safe!

Cheers!
