Title:	Back to the Underground
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	DST/STORM 001CD

"Developments in the field of dubstep/grime have seen the loosely termed genre splinter into a number of different factions over the last few years. Soaking up influences from the UK breaks scene, drum and bass, early '90s hardcore (before they started playing tracks on 45 that were meant to be at 33) and ever present in UK dance music - a healthy lungful of sound system culture. While labels like hyperdub and DMZ have been more influenced by the d'n'b and sound system aspects, the triumvirate of labels Destructive, Pitch Black and Storming continue the tradition of UK hardcore, sounds and basslines designed and constructed for cavernous warehouse spaces, breakbeats forged with the deadly intent to twist bodies into new shapes. From the opener, Search & Destroy's mammoth 'Espionage' to Vex'd's 'Lion VIP' the dubs rage on from Dubchild killer 'Psychopath,' through bombs from Toastyboy, Mark One, Distance, Darqwan, Slaughter Mob and a shitload more. All at a bargain price leaving more coin in your pocket to buy a fresh pair of Reebok classics. Killer."

Title:	Take Me
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	STORM 004EP

"Dub Child wades in for his second killer in as many releases on the excellent Storming productions. Killer beats are all fully in order here -- while the sensual belies the malevolent, blorty bass driven almost junglist breaks tune which unfolds, somehow the whole impact way exceeds the sum of the component parts. In techno parlance this might be called a tools record -- but here its much more like a dirty plate with which to properly jump up the party."

Artist:	DJ QUIET STORM
Title:	Built For Boundaries Volume 1
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	STORM 001CD

"17 mixed tracks and exclusives from artists: Dub Child, Toastyboy, Quiet Storm, Narrows, Distance, Darqwan, Search & Destroy, Protocol X, Marlow, Scarecrow and Reso. Quiet Storm has been working hard to push the music scene and its immense versatility of sounds since 1999. After hearing early productions from Oris Jay, Zed Bias, El B and DJ Narrows, as well as following labels such as Resurrection, Texture and Ghost, Quiet Storm was immediately hooked. Always pushing the underground sounds with passion and drive for the music, he quickly became a regular DJ on 'Groovtech' and alongside various other world wide Internet stations. He began to hit the production in 2002 on a free software package called Fruity Loops. Quiet Storm sent a demo out to the DJ and well known producer 'J Da Flex.' J Da then began to push Quiet's productions on his BBC 1xtra show 'Underground Knowledge' and in local and international clubs and venues. DJ Lombardo, a long term friend of J Da, soon became very interested in this new and up-and-coming artist. Lombardo promptly signed him to the label, Fragile Beatz. This is where Quiet became close with fellow label members, Search & Destroy and Dub Child. In 2003, he received a phone call from Rinse FM management offering him a prime time set on Tuesday evenings in between well known DJs Hatcha and Slimzee. Quiet took this opportunity on board, and spent most of his spare time chasing producers for new tunes and spending endless amounts of money on dub plates. Making his presence known on radio and throughout the scene, recognition and bookings slowly started to roll in. The only downside to 2003 was the record label 'Fragile Beatz' was no longer running. With endless amounts of dubplates and talent in his bag and barely any labels releasing vinyl due to lack of faith from distributors and label owners, Quiet Storm decided to take things into his own hands. In 2004 Storming Productions was born. Setting the label up, Quiet was determined to push through quality artists and their music. The edge and passion of forward-thinking music has always been the label's priority. Because of all these important factors, Storming has quickly built a strong and robust reputation of consistent and quality releases from artist such as: Search & Destroy, Dub Child, Oris Jay, Toastyboy, Mark One, Bogey Man, Protocol X, DJ Narrows, Reso, Marlow and Distance. Now running three labels (Storming/Dub Police/Sub Soldiers) and helping to manage two others for various artists, there seems to be no holding back this determined DJ/producer."

Artist:	DUBCHILD
Title:	New Era/Warnin' Dem
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	STORM 010EP

"Following the success of the massive Mount Zion, Storming long-timer Dub Child returns with his 3rd full release and it's business as usual: banging amen breaks and super-squelch basslines, a sonic assault on all senses. 'New Era' opens proceedings with horror film soundscapes, eerie pads and funky metallic breaks, building to a cacophony of screaming synths and a knee-trembling drop. The stuttered halftime breaks and junglistic bass roll out like a military assault vehicle crushing all soun'bwoys in its path. 'Warnin' Dem' -- a longtime crowd pleaser and a welcome return of the Dub Child amen rinse out. The filtered rave synth intro gives way to Rastafarian warnings and the deepest squelch bassline straight from the school of jump up. Punchy amen rhythms and distorted bubbling subs make this the dancefloor choice for the new breed of dub-steppas."

Artist:	DUBCHILD
Title:	Cum Dancing
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	STORM 011EP

"The inimitable Dub Child's treatment of London Electricity's 2002 dnb classic 'Cum Dancing' has had DJs and fans craving the track on vinyl for years. Some had lost hope of the track ever blessing plastic at all. But Hospital Records have allowed the remix to hit the shelves for release exclusively through Storming. An anthem from the early days of the scene's legendary club night, FWD, Dub Child's 'Cum Dancing' remix was rinsed by the biggest names at the time. Listening to the track, it's easy to hear why it would be a travesty if it was to become just another lost dub. The infectious melody of the original is built upon with devastating Dub Child breaks and bass. The irrefutably dazzling strings provide the backbone of the track while the infectious melody works itself into your head. The beat skips and skitters along, making it impossible for crowds not to move on the floor. 'Cum Dancing' is an anthem and a classic tune like very few really are. On the flip, 'Wanna Die' is a prime slice of Dub Child's breakneck beats and bass. A track of more than sufficient caliber to couple the plate's A-side."

Artist:	PROTOCOL X
Title:	Our Storm/Screwheadz
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	STORM 012EP

"A storm is coming, 'Our Storm,' and when it arrives it will shake the universe. 'Our Storm' features on the recent Built For Boundaries mix CD from Quiet Storm and Storming. A huge bass-driven tune with half-stepping beats and hunting synths. Protocol X at his best! Flip over for Screwheadz where the classic rolling storming sound appears. Mashed-up steppy breaks and low sub-distorted bass make this tune appealing to all tear out dancefloor DJs!"

Artist:	DUBCHILD
Title:	Mount Zion/Take Me
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	STORM 013EP

"The first wave of Dub Child remix's sees Distance take on the mighty 'Mount Zion,' and he well and truly lives up to the challenge. 'Dirt' is the only word to describe Distance's onslaught of distorted bass and hard hitting break beat drums. Fans of the usual Distance mayhem won't be disappointed; a pure filth bucket of a remix right here! Take Me (Reso Remix): Reso comes with an absolute stonker of a remix here, absolutely mind-blowing production as this ultra talented producer shows off once again why he is becoming one of the most sought-after programmers at the moment. Luscious pads and smooth vocals give you the sense of calm atmosphere before the storm; before sharp beats and a vicious bass line crash in, to devastating effect."

Artist:	MARLOW
Title:	Ominous
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	STORM 015EP

"The 'king of epic' returns to Storming for a sick three tracker, and from the opening track it's not hard to see why there is so much excitement surrounding this promising producer. A tension building intro and huge breakdown set the scene for 'Bomb Jack,' before dropping in to a dirty, gritty roller. Receiving support from Caspa, Rob Da Bank, The Others and Joe Nice to name a few. 'Minous': Once again the intro leaves you on the edge and tense before dropping into a dark driving bass, and complex drums -- this one will leave any dancefloor in pieces. 'Jigsaw': Again, epic is the word that comes to mind when you hear this track, much the same as the other two tracks -- the intro and build up make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up before the deep warping bass line is unleashed -- bangers and mash."

Artist:	EMALKAY
Title:	Solid State/Battle Suit
Label:	STORMING (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	STORM 016EP

"Fresh off the back of the massive single 'When I Look At You' & 'AGS' on sister label Dub Police, Emalkay steps up to Storming Productions with two wicked tracks. They have been tearing up dancefloors worldwide over the last couple of months, both remaining permanent fixtures in the sets of Caspa, Benga, Skream, The Others, N-Type, Hatcha and just about anybody who is anybody in dubstep right now. 'Solid State' is a brutal anthem that has been melting a few faces as of late. The track has a dark and mystical intro with drums tougher than Mike Tyson's knuckles. This is all before dropping into an unforgiving crunching bass that will bring any dancefloor to submission. On the flip is the heavyweight 'Battlesuit.' This is a dark roller with a real swing; an atmospheric soundscape with rolling drums that don't prepare you for the warping sub bass. This bassline will smack you in the face at the drop, as the track seemingly morphs and progresses into a dark, techy monster. Another essential release from Emalkay and a welcome return of one of dubstep's foundation labels."
