Mad Dem Sound

 

Mad Dem Sound / Dijeyow & Korby / Jera

Sensimilla / 6 Mill / Star Is Born / Bullits Inna Fyah

Breaknest 003

Hailing from Barcelona, Spain comes the Breaknest imprint headed up by Dijeyow and Jera of the Skorea Krew. Raining down with smashers She's Mash It and BadBazz from Dijeyow and Bust the AK by Osci of Clashplate, this label holds nothing back on its third release. Look for this 12" to drop sometime mid November.

Mad Dem Sound (Twinhooker & Paulie Walnuts) – Sensimilla

A nice balance between hard Amen edits, classic ragga-jungle drums, and smooth vocal styling. This tune is a highlight at any point in your set and perfect for the dance floor on any occasion.

Mad Dem Sound (Paulie Walnuts) – 6 Mill

This tune is definitely for the heads; chuck full of hard Amen fills and gut wrenching kicks. An old school vibe versus new school mentality, this production has it all.

Dijeyow & Korby – Star Is Born

Great grooving dance floor tune with quality production all around from label boss and Korby. Vocals flow through this track like a symphony in an upbeat manner while the Amen drums grip the darkest regions of your soul.

Jera – Bullits Inna Fyah
Giving off a very 8bit gangster feeling over some older school lyrical styling, this tune is sure to keep bodies moving. A lot of attack and release in the production of the bass which gives listeners time to catch their breath from the beating they take in this .


The Archangel & Dainjah / Vick Vega

Ganja Tune / Duppy Or Gunman

Celestial Conspiracy 006

Co-owned and operated by the Archangel & KGBkid, Celestial Conspiracy delivers another addition to its already impressive library. CC006 will mark the eighth release from the duo including works by Jacky Murda as well as StaDa. Expect this to hit record stores worldwide mid November.

The Archangel & Dainjah – Ganja Tune

Puff-puff and don't pass on this! Arch and Dainjah kill it on this tune with the entire production. The melody is sure to get stuck into your head for days. Great use of the Amens and a wicked sub bass to boot.

Vick Vega – Duppy Or Gunman
Out of the box this track smacks you across the face with its fine drum work. Great tune in the middle of your set or if you need to get the party hopping with a quickness! This is a fantastic B-Side to this release by Vick Vega.


CRS?

Mafia / Time Bomb

Dub Chamber 011

From the southern west coast, comes the sound of the infamous Dub Chamber Recordings group. Supplying hits by popular ragga-jungle artists from around the globe, including; RAW, DJ K, HOT, JBostron, Vinyl Fatigue, and label boss Six Foot Unda. The joint comes from LA legend CRS? and is set to drop October 20th in all fine digital stores.

CRS? – Mafia
A dark and sinister track yet playful with its lyrics. Great tune for the late nighters and at a little over 7 minutes long perfect for teaser drops and overlays. This is definitely a fun song to get into.

CRS? – Time Bomb
CRS? back at it again showing us why he is one of LA's OG's with this gangster riddim. Dropping that west coast synth line over a bass for the true playaz, this is a track that is a must have in your arsenal.


Ragga Scum

8ball / Murda Dem Ghetto Youth

Warlord Dubplate 008

Back on the block again is Warlord Dubplate hailing from Kansas City, MO (USA). Their last release, by D-Jahsta, has been killing dance floors and has fans craving more from this label. WARD008 brings it with two solo tracks by yours truly. Expect to see this out by mid December, just in time for the holidays.

Ragga Scum – 8ball remix
A remix of NWA's 8ball brings the west coast flavour and hard Amen vibe together. Loaded with a plethora of Amen fills and edits over Eazy-E vocals and a wicked bassline. 8ball is a tune for the old school heads and new bloods alike.

Ragga Scum – Murda Dem Ghetto Youth
A hard Amen mash-up smasher for the raggacore enthusiasts providing a pounding bassline and heavy dub influences. This tune is not for the faint hearted the early morning crowd. Expect a lot of sweat on the floor while the audience follows the beat and edits.



CRS? / DJ Satin

I Love You / One Step Forward

HumDruma Digital 001

Label boss Satin of HumDruma Recordingz set up a sister label titled HumDrumz Records est. in 2006. The idea behind the label was to bring a dance floor vibe with a reggae dubby roller twist. The sister label HumDrumz is the reggae roller label while HumDruma is the ruff and hard steppa label. Expect to see some dubby ragga flava for everyone to move to.

CRS? – I Love You
This tune comes correct with impressive drum work accompanied by a dark ominous bassline. Bringing together both evil and love this production is a total smasher for anyone's collection.

DJ Satin – One Step Forward
This classic mash-up style tune is prone to make any audience move. Great use of the bassline and melody this is another fantastic production piece from DJ Satin. This is an awesome piece to any tracklisting or set.
