Title:	The City EP
Label:	SOUNDPROOF (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	SP 002EP

"This is a dubstep EP from West London producers. Its been getting airplay from many of the scenes DJ's (N-type, D1, Heny g, and distance to name a few). The first tune, "B-town," is inspired by life in my home town and has a gritty whining synth intro that builds and builds until it drops with an explosive force to reveal the monster track that it is. A good opener for any dub set. "No Man's Land" is also a weighty track that has been vibrating dancefloors getting great reception from the dubstep crowd and also from the grime crowd. There is a massive sub bass that creeps along from the ambient flute intro, the track has a nice sense of space to it which is why MCs are also interested in this tune. There's a party featuring Skelly, Skelly is a reggae artist from Kingston Jamaica. We hooked up on this dub tune to give a fresh take on the sound. The tune has an uplifting party vibe that makes people want to dance, the sub is very deep and put with the guitar plucks that come in and out of the track makes for a great bubbler of a track.."

Title:	Bring the Lights Down Mix's
Label:	SOUNDPROOF (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	SP 003EP

"Its started with a sample from early nineties album Guru's Jazzmatazz and since then 'Bring the Lights Down' has been given house, jungle and garage makeovers. Now its been brought into 2006 with two fresh new dubstep remixes. The first by Dubpolice/Tempa's hot new artist Caspa. Filtered synth pads' sweep in and out of Guru's cries before timestretched vocals give way to dirty axle grinder bass. The thumping tight drums are peppered with spaceship percussion keeping this grinding electro stomper rolling and the dancefloor jumping. Flip over for Soundproof's remix on the AA side, showcasing a different side of dubstep and a fresh dubwise angle for Soundproof's production. Once again the guru is doing his thing but layered with ska guitar and atmospheric sytnths. The lights are brought down and the bass kicks with a big deep sub-line. Its strictly dred bass and rastafari guitar from here on out. A skanking bubbler for the jump up crowd."

Title:	3Degrees (SoundProofRmx)/Jungle Story
Label:	SOUNDPROOF (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	SP 004EP

"200 gram vinyl pressing featuring artwork by Zombie. Kudos and Yung-e, aka Soundproof, are back again with their own unique style on one of the first dubstep imprints, SP Records. First out is '3Degrees,' originally released on the excellent Boka Records in 2005, Soundproof have added to an already deep track with this remix. A discreet and atmospheric intro leads the way with catchy, melodic stabs and the occasional kick drum. Then a riser with the sample '3 Degrees, Hold, Fire!' to signal that something big is on the way. The tune drops in with tight and punchy kicks that bounce alongside crunchy snares as the track moves along a solid bedrock of sub-bass. A few sweet drum edits later the pace picks up with added bongos and that catchy melody again. There is depth and movement throughout this sick track -- serious business from Soundproof. On the flip is the wicked 'Jungle Story.' A shuffling hat pattern with the vocal 'It Keeps Moving' leads you through the intro, accompanied by weird sounds and a straight bongo hit. Then an echoed horn takes you to the drop with a heavy bass, reminiscent of the old jungle scene. As the track evolves you come to a massive breakdown, filled with echoed stabs and clean deep sub-bass, here the tune takes on an eerie persona. Then, whack! Amen breaks and a sub bring the track to rinse-out levels. A raw, driving track with lots of personality, on a big system this will blow your socks off. An homage to the jungle scene from Soundproof."
