09 Highlights - July

In July our newest writer Cassie turned out this feature on one of Manchester's newest imprints at the time G13 Records....

Drum and bass lovers need to be bracing themselves for the new Jump Up label, G13, brought to you by DJ Propa G and producer/DJ DJ Rowney. The new label is set to tear up dance floors with their outrageous and ferocious riddims.

The Manchester based label has been under the radar for the past couple of years and have finally blessed our bass adoring ears with this new twist to the Jump Up style. Helped by radio shows Kool London and Krisis DNB and big promo nights, the label is causing a stir and getting our bones shaking to these beats.

With some of the biggest and grimiest artists and producers part of the team, expect sounds from James Bass, Bluefoot, Hoax, High Roller, Butcher, Billy the Kid, Sensa, Ego Trippin, Tyke, Recipe and a few others.

Most recently released from the label is Billy the Kid’s western sampler, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Using a catchy bass riff and cowboy samples from the film of the same name, you’ll defiantly want to gee up to this dirty sound! Similar to the sound of Lemon D, the Kid is a more techno Pendulum but have the same sci-fi sampler ideas.

Also on the menu is Bluefoot. Originally from Torquay this boy’s fast break beats and deep, subby tune Jawbreaker lives up to the label’s dirty riddims. Released back in April this tune is explosive!

Propa G (Ruthless Kombination, G13, Rollin Soundz Records) has been tearing it up in numerous clubs and pirate radio for the last 7 years. His partner in crime, Rowney, (CLASS A, G13, MOTION SENSOR AND BIG IN THE DANCE RECORDS)who has been DJing since 1998 and producing from 2003 specialises in this Jump Up fashion as well as harder DnB and other dance floor oriented tracks.

Working under Nu-Urban, G13 will be spitting out big new tracks and have DJ’s systems on fire!
