Following up from Ruff Sqwad’s critically acclaimed ‘White Label Classics’ at the end of 2012, No Hats No Hoots return with a release from DJ Eastwood. Originally pressed in 2003 on white label vinyl, ‘U Ain’t Ready’ sold over 5000 copies and even earned Eastwood a guest mix on the late John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 show.
This classic 8-bar grime instrumental and pirate radio anthem was a staple at Dirty Canvas and Sidewinder and still regularly features at Wiley’s Eskimo Dance events.
The first remix to arrive back in the No Hats inbox was Hemlock Recordings heavyweight Untold’s “2010 Remix”, a full-on assault complete with his signature experimental percussion. Spooky’s remix comes in strong with it’s dirty saw wave bassline, orchestral stabs and pizzicato strings inspired by the original.

‘U AIN’T READY’
(NO HATS NO HOODS RECORDS)
Maribou State & Pedestrian’s “Mask” is garnering some great support from the likes of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Rob Da Bank, Mistajam, Skream and Eddy Temple Morris. Released on 18th March through the Friends Will Carry You Home Too compilation compiled by Catz ‘N Dogz for their imprint Pets Recordings
Matta is Andy Brookes & James Wilson, who specialise in the darker, twisted end of Dubstep. Matta came together in 2009 when they met at Music College and have being going from strength to strength since then. Over the last few years they have played huge gigs such as the Secret Garden Party festival (sharing the stage with Nero, Flux Pavillion & DJ Fresh) as well
as gigs all across Europe including France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Holland, Russia and even Lebanon amongst others.These DJing achievements are matched by those in the production arena with a pile of hit releases including ‘Release the Freq’ which has so far had over 1.7 million views on Youtube and Vimeo. They’ve also had their tracks used on adverts for Audi and Childline.
Overall they’ve had a huge impact on the Dubstep scene with their music gaining support from a huge list of stars from in and out of the Dubstep scene including Bjork, The Prodigy, Rudimental, SKisM, Foreign Beggars, Mistajam, Annie Nightingale, Adam F, RacknRuin, N-Type, High Rankin, Happa, Laurent Garnier, Kissy Sell Out, Calvertron, Virus Syndicate, Stereo MCs, Akira Kiteshi, Stanza (True Tiger), Ed Solo, Truth, J:Kenzo, Stenchman, Walsh, Broken Note, Eddy Temple Morris, Reid Speed (Play Me records), Tim Ismag, DJ Leila (Warp Records).
With support from some of the biggest names in bass music, including Datsik, Skream & Benga, Rusko, Mistajam, Plastician and Emalkay, as well as tens of thousands of YouTube and SoundCloud plays, its time for 19-year-old producer/DJ DKS aka Max Clarke to take centre stage. Age is not a factor when it comes to admiration and musical knowledge and this young, aspiring musician has talent and experience way beyond his years.
‘Can’t get enough’ kicks off the EP with a warm shimmering intro and shuddering bass. The brushing of a high hat is fused with a clipped vocal sample and a skull-shattering drop that sends the blood rushing. Up next, the bass-driven track ‘I Know’ is a bold mix of uplifting and unpretentious soundscapes, which touch upon the deeper and darker side of dubstep. DKS draws on an array of influences on ‘I Know’ with his clever use of vocal samples, and crashing snares. Continuing the flare, ‘String Theory’ immerses itself in a grimier province with its murky breakdowns and chainsaw swings. The loaded LFOs and manic hi-hats are layered perfectly and tear through one another with booming force.
DKS builds you up during the EP’s seamless flow of musical moments and closes with the larger-than-life record ‘Monster’. ‘Monster’’s dynamic foray is cleverly calculated and the crescendo will knock you senseless. The thrilling female sample and frenzied synths rip each other apart in a brilliantly cultivated manner.
DKS has been championed by BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra, as well as getting his tracks heard across the Rinse FM airwaves. Clarke has become known for his interesting melodies and arrangements over the past year and has bought a breath of fresh air to the scene. This is a truly unmissable release from Firepower that once again encapsulates their forward-thinking presence at the forefront of electronic music.
Label: Black Butter // Release Date: 6.11.2011

Following on from his Synthetic Heart EP, and after an exceptionally impressive festival season, as well as a tour of Australia, Rack N Ruin returns with ‘Signal’ featuring the heavyweight grime MC P Money.
An unrivaled collaboration between two of the hottest artists on the UK bass scene at the moment, ‘Signal’ has been highly anticipated and is finally here. Coming out on Black Butter Records on 26th November, it has already been heavily supported by BBC Radio 1’s Mistajam and will be at the forefront of every dance floor this year.
Most famous for tracks ‘Ho! Riddim’ and ‘Sweet Shop’, P Money has been one of the most influential MCs on the grime and dubstep scene, and accompanied with Rack N Ruin’s cutting edge production, the demand for ‘Signal’ is now sky-high.
With its opus of dubstep sounds, laid over with P Money’s inspired lyrics this tracks brings some serious firepower. The duo have already played a large part in the development of UK bass music and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
Multiverse Music is proud to announce the launch of a new imprint, World Of Wonders aka W.O.W! Joining the ranks of Tectonic, Kapsize, Build, Caravan, Subtext and Earwax – W.O.W is a home for Bristolian purple w0w’er Gemmy to showcase his infectious beats and production talent.
Having first appeared on Peverelist’s highly respected Punch Drunk imprint, Gemmy soon went on to release a number of underground dancefloor belters on the seminal Planet Mu imprint. Having established his particular shade of purple w0w alongside Bristol production peers Joker and Guido, Gemmy’s beats lean more to a dancefloor heavy cut.
Built to make the speakers bleed both ‘Jah Know’ and ‘They Live Under The Stairs’ cut through a system crisp, clean and deadly. Gemmy may have been quiet on the release front recently but it’s clear here that he’s been fine tuning his skills in the studio to devastating effect. Drop these riddims in your set and you’ll see the effects for yourself. Quality music made for the dance, perfectly executed. 2011 is going to be a good year for Gemmy, watch him rise up.
DJ Support from –
Mistajam, Joker, N-type, Guido, Plastician, MRK1, Baobinga, Chef and many more…
