Chimpo
Spektrum Skank (Offroad)
A label that sets its stall firmly out in dancefloor-bashing territory proffers the Manchester producer's latest beast, that will bully your wobbly bits into submission.

Ation
Love For The Heads (Abucs)
The perfect kind of tune for horizontal mindsets, infused with the smokey vibes of a '60s jazz club, suddenly transported into the future.

1000names
Paradise Rings (Team Acre)
Good ole wonky chops with the essential ingredient, funk. Yes, I'll have two slices please with extra butter. Get the green vinyl, you fools!

Monkey Steak & MC Zulu
Hyped Up (Steakhouse)
Chew on a couple of amphetamines, mainline the Red Bull and pop some Nicorette patches under your eyelids; this is pumped Kuduro-esque madness. Party party!

Ben Verse
Flip The Coin (Wheel and Deal)
The fifth release from N-Type's imprint welcomes a relative newcomer to the dubstep fray, well, unless you're a fan of noise merchants Pendulum, then you'll know him as MC Verse. But don't let that put you off, his dubstep output is favoured by Youngsta and is peeled from the same fruit as the likes of Headhunter and early Tempa releases. 'Flip The Coin' nudges it with a throb as hard as a donkey spiked with Viagra.

Sbtrkt
Laika (Brainmath)
Another producer with a fear of vowels, Sbtrkt brushes Joy Orbison aside with this one-sided nugget of syncopated bass music. Before taking on the Sbtrkt nom de plume, Aaron Jerome made broken beat and soulful house, and now brings that busy, fidgety flex to the table with added dollops of bass, fitting snugly into the current mood of dubstep/ funky crossover. Fans of El-B, Horsepower and Shortstuff will devour this with gusto. Tasty stuff.
