Artist:	SLAUGHTER MOB
Title:	Bulla Cake
Label:	HALO BEATS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HALO 002EP

"Following their seminal release on their own imprint, long time dubstep pioneers 'Slaughter Mob' provide you with your second helping of Halo Beats, in the form of two slices of Voodoo Dubstep courtesy of the Mob boys themselves. A. 'Bulla Cake' hails the return of Slaughter Mobs' refreshingly off-kilter, acid-etched beats and infectious bottom end. Warped, synthetic reggae stabs and eerie vocals dance over minimal beats and an absolutely disgusting sub bass. This dub + bass workout has erupted dancefloors from coast to coast. B. 'Born Behind Cow' is on a relentlessly subdued vibe throughout, lavished with reggae and dubwise vibes, this track conjures up images of voodoo rituals in the dead of night. Featuring the trademark SLT Bass + Bashment groove they execute so effortlessly, this one is a dancefloor monster."

Artist:	LOHAN VERSUS POP'N'TWINBE
Title:	Mosquito Coast/Vapour Trail
Label:	HALO BEATS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HALO 003EP

"Slaughter Mob present their next slew of dubbed-out beats, a bold release featuring the debut of Lohan and Pop'n'Twinbe. Lohan (one half of search&destroy) makes his solo debut with 'Mosquito Coast,' a techy, dubbed-out half-step roller that shows a different side to the classic S+D sound we're accustomed to. Sci-fi pads build up into a dark, subby drop rife with Timbaland style percussion & a chest rattling bottom-end. Having shook walls & floors across the UK, this track has been getting a battering from many DJs in the scene. Newfound producers also making their debut on this release -- Pop'n'Twinbe provide some serious dubbed-out business on this one. 'Vapour Trail' is a spacious but hard roller, chilling-pads lead up into a cavernous drop, tinged with eerie percussion and some serious bottom-end. A hypnotic journey through the darker side of dub step."

Artist:	LANDSLIDE VS SLAUGHTER MOB
Title:	Splurt
Label:	HALO BEATS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HALO 004EP

"Slaughter Mob return flexing their MC's vocal talents on this collaboration with long time dubstep pioneer and Hospital Recordings resident: Landslide. 'Splurt' is a breath of fresh air, vocally and musically. A dirty, melodic track overlayed with tales of street survival and late night shenanigans, laced with synth leads and arps over a bumpy, subby groove. Meanwhile, the flip gets the Skream treatment, halfstep beats and intricate hats served up over Skream's trademark deep rolling subs. Both tracks have had worldwide recognition and support, having been dropped by the likes of DJ Hatcha, Skream, Search and Destroy, N-Type, Mary Anne Hobbs and many more."

Artist:	ELEMENTAL
Title:	Empty/Desert Storm
Label:	HALO BEATS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HALO 005EP

"At the forefront of the dubstep underground is Halo Beats, the label operated by the seminal and subversive Slaughter Mob; underground garage mainstays and dubstep scene stalwarts. With its fifth release, Halo Beats have firmly established themselves as leaders of the UK underground cutting edge. On this release, North London-based producer Elemental brings two stone-cold killers to the table. 'Desert Storm' sees Elemental toying with off kilter electronics and dabbling with almost psychedelic stabs and babbling basslines. Sonically the track nods to Elemental's DNB roots while simultaneously being totally different than that, as well as the current crop of dubstep output. The track builds and breaks in a delicate frenzy of self-contained progression, sure to engage dancefloors and home listeners alike."

Artist:	TOASTY BOY
Title:	On Something/You're Special
Label:	HALO BEATS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	HALO 007EP

"The 7th release coming from the Halo camp. Toasty Boy has come through with two definite skankers! A Side: 'On Something.' Starts with a harmonious yet eerie intro that drops straight into a rollers bassline complimented by reverbed, dubby snares followed by a catchy electro-synth melody that carries you into a sample in the break that probably a lot of ravers can relate to.... ha!! The break is uplifting and glides you nicely into a dreamy outro. AA Side: 'You're Special.' Comes with a dark, thunderous, congo natty intro that dips and then BANG! Your hit with cut-throat subs and an electric melody that will shock the system! Drums and percussion scatter nicely over the bass melody. The break starts off musical and soulful followed by the use of well know sample that has been stretched and manipulated to make what becomes an infectious outro that contrasts the first part of the tune."
