Artist:	LD
Title:	Green Ranger
Label:	2ND DROP (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	2NDRP 005EP

"Emerging from the sound proofed walls of dubstep's mastering institution, Transition Studios, LD is a man who has heard every new plate created by the scene's top players, by cutting dubplates for the likes of Mala (DMZ), Skream, Benga, Distance and N-Type. For a man and producer at the epicenter of sound, you wouldn't be surprised to hear his productions influenced by these prodigious talents. But no, LD is quickly carving out his own unique sound. After his debut release on Ringo Records with Clockwatching and Swing Dat Skirt, LD aka Leon Day pushes his distinctive sound still further with an original and remix production. 'Green Ranger' eschews the half step template in favor of a more polyrhythmic structure, while keeping his foot firmly down on the pulsing and probing effects. On the flip, LD tackles Sully's ravetastic 'Give Me Up,' transforming this nostalgic slice of euphoric dubstep into a deadly piece of future-soca dub. Riffling soca percussion would feel more at home behind a precession float at Notting Hill Carnival, if it wasn't for the addictive descending bass line motif, which shakes every soundsystem in the country to the ground. DJ support from Skream, N-Type, Rusko, Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio One), and Hatcha (Kiss FM)."

Label:	DUB POLICE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	DP 032EP

"Returning to Dub Police after the massive success of 'Peace In Our Culture' (featured on part six of the 'License To Thrill Series') for his first single on the label, is South East London's LD. Kicking things off is the sweet vibes of 'International Roots', with it's smooth vocals, luscious pad stabs and LD's signature rolling and driving beats, any fan of the usual heaviness from this man will most defiantly not be disappointed. Wicked vibes! On the flip LD goes all tribal on us, with the highly sought after 'King Of Kong', which has been gaining huge support from the likes of Caspa, Mala, Chef, N-Type, Benga & TheOthers to name a few. LD sets the scene with a jungle landscape, before the heavy tribal rhythms that lead the way for a drop that will get even the most stubborn of ravers shaking their ass! An absolutely outstanding release from man like LD, and Dub Police yet again raising the bar in their quest of pushing good new music."
