Artist:	EMALKAY
Title:	Gut Feeling
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 005EP

"'Gut Feeling'. With its half-step beats, sub punching bass, sinister dark strings, and eerie effects, 'Gut Feeling' crawls along with menace and is being heavily supported by the likes of Plasticman, Mark One and more. This track certainly takes the grime sound into a new exciting skunked out direction. Frequency rolls on a sluggish tip with crashing beats, sub bass, electro stabs, dreamy samples and more. Frequency is all about the rude-core electro, and is another example of why Emalkay is a talent to look out for in 2006."

Artist:	MRK1
Title:	Tinkerbell
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 006EP

"After the devastation caused by the last release from Emalkay, Boka sees the return of the mighty MRK1 from Manchester's Virus Syndicate with a big four track EP. With previous releases on Rephlex and Soulja, and a debut album on Planet Mu, MRK1 has staked his claim as being one of the most talented and consistent underground producers in the UK. 'Tinkerbell' builds with quirky sounds, before the lights go out and the dark bass drops. 'Deadman': Tight strings and crisp hi-hats lead the track into a typical MRK1 two note bassline which is backed up my menacing strings. 'Trench Walk': With more gun shots than an average American film, 'Trench Walk' stomps along with low-end anger -- a track for the Boka tank! 'Quiver': The EP finishes off with one of the coldest, darkest electro mood-step tracks of 2006."

Artist:	SOUNDPROOF PRODUCTIONS
Title:	Ruggard EP
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 007EP

"With Boka releases starting to take over the underground shops' shelves across the world, this release features another two more rising stars in the UK dance scene -- DJ Kudos & Yungy, who together make up Soundproof Productions. 1) 'Marv' is a track that has started a new dance craze in West London called 'falling' -- and when you hear the bassline to 'Marv' drop you will know why. 2) '85' - with a filtered house influence to it, '85' is a low-end frequency number which will punish any big system. 3) 'Running Scared' - one of the rawest and most aggressive tracks to come out of the dubstep scene this year. 4) 'Beyond the Milkyway (120bpm Refix)' - the EP finishes off with a 120bpm Refix of a classic Soundproof number that was originally released on a white label last year, but now returns with a bigger bassline."

Artist:	EMALKAY
Title:	Bats in the Belfry
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 008EP

"The return of Birmingham's Emalkay. A scientist that gets better and better, Emalkay is a producer with skills to be reckoned with, and with an album on the horizon, the morphic man is going to be big name to look out for in the future.1) 'Bats in the Belfry' takes it to the next level, with its solid half step beats, strings that give you shiverz, and a bass that rumbles like a hungry giant's belly. 2) 'Overflow' causes complete damage, with its powerful beats and battering bass. 3) 'Super Duper' take bass notes up and down the octave and smashes them with an underlying hard-edged beat with cliff edge break downs and build ups."

Artist:	PROFESSOR J-S/KUDOS
Title:	Can't Sleep/Weirdo's Welcome
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 009EP

"This record sees the return of Boka boss Professor J-S and a solo effort from Kudos, one half of the mighty Sound Proof Productions. Look out for the last two releases of 2006 from Boka featuring big new bass scientists -- Night Walker and The Others. 'Can't Sleep': After previous releases on Boka and Undergrowth Music, the Professor has been busy in the lab designing new bass bombs. 'Can't Sleep' is all about minimal sub pressure with its stripped down structure and pulsating bass -- one for the sound systems. 'Weirdo's Welcome': After the big success of the Ruggard EP, Sound Proof return with a solo effort from Kudos. This track does not waste any time before jumping into head cracking beats and a bass that hacks like a chainsaw."

Artist:	NIGHTWALKER
Title:	Magic Beans
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 010EP

"Boka finally gets into double figures with a three track EP from Bristol-based producer Nightwalker aka Sound Box Productions. Nightwalker's sound is pure bass heavy madness that mixes up a fusion of styles including grime, electronica and dubstep. 1) 'Magic Beans' features a jump up bass that sits awkwardly on wild beats, but before getting too comfortable, the track breaks down into a sublime piano hook and then builds into another bassline assault. 2) 'Spakture' is a track of skunktronica proportions with its solid beats, low-end attack and spaced-out effects. 3) 'Wartorn' is classical gutter substep that submerges you bang into the middle of low-end war."

Artist:	OTHERS, THE
Title:	Hear Dis Style/Underworld
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 011EP

"Boka kicks off 2007 with a two-track EP from new West London producers D-Code & DJ Dextourous collectively known as The Others. Having had their dubs smack it on the dubstep dancefloors over the last year by the likes of Wonder, Professor J-S, N-Type, Emalkay, Caspa, the lads finish off the year with their debut release. This EP confirms that The Others are a name to look out for this year. 1) 'Hear Dis Style' rolls on a grimey half-step tip with pulsating bass and effective build-ups and breakdowns. 2) 'Underworld' rattles along like an injured snake before spitting out a bassline of pure venom."

Artist:	MARLOW/SNO
Title:	Tremor/25 Stone
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 012EP

"BOK012 features two tracks that have been doing the rounds on the dubstep circuit from two of the scene's rising stars. Marlow is a bass scientist who is about to take the UK underground by storm. With tracks forthcoming on labels such as Hotflush and Storming, Marlow is certainly going to be a name to look out for -- 'Tremor' rumbles with rough and raw distorted beats backed up by cinematic strings. The EP also features the ever growing talent of Manchester-based producer SNO whose recent productions have featured on the Earwax and Terrain labels -- '25 Stone,' with its sharp beats and belly-shaking bass will make you lock into some militant head-nodding."

Artist:	EMALKAY
Title:	Mecha/The Rogue
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 013EP

"This EP features two tracks from Birmingham's biggest producer. First up is 'Mecha' -- a tune which has been battered at the raves all over the world to devastating effect. The track has a cold eerie build up but then drops into a devastating mechanical bassline. This tune is already being seen as one the biggest tracks dub tracks of 2007. On the flip is 'The Rogue' -- a track which makes you shuffle from start to finish with its skipping beats and body punching bassline. Known in the Boka camp as the Wayne Rooney of electronic music, Emalkay's tracks are being supported by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank, Plastician, Freq Nasty and many more. The morphic man is a name to look out for."

Artist:	MACABRE UNIT
Title:	Ghost
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	BOK 014EP

"Boka steps up the pressure with another release of next level beat carnage, this time round coming from the legendary Macabre Unit. With previous releases on Plastician's Terrorhythm label and their own imprint, the Unit as usual employ 'take no prisoner' tactics to their work with head crunching beats and body blowing bass. First up is 'Ghost,' a track that starts with teasing bass tones and then drops into pure mayhem with growling synths and head-nodding beats -- this is what Herbie Hancock would sound like if he was on crack! On the flip is 'Road 2 Knowher' a track that goes straight for the kill -- rough, raw, powerful and very haunting. The second track on the flip is 'Fantasy,' a tune that rolls on deeper dreamy edge -- a beat that would go very well with some Dali paintings."

Artist:	SNO
Title:	Can't Touch Dis
Label:	BOKA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	BOK 015EP

"Back with a bang for the next Boka release is Manchester's SNO. One of the dubstep scene's heaviest warriors, this EP shows SNO's full range of styles. First up is 'Can't Touch Dis,' a track getting battered at every dubstep rave from London to Nova Scotia. On the flip is 'Urb,' a track on a future reggae flex. And last but not least is 'Fear,' a track that's so dark, it's hard to listen to it all the way through without feeling like you're going to be sick."
