Krafty Kuts doesn't follow trends, he shakes them up, sending shockwaves of sonic disruption through the scene, a force that now surges into his forthcoming album Turbulence. Krafty Kuts has never chased trends; instead, he has spent decades shaking them up - a philosophy that inspired the title of his forthcoming album, Turbulence. From early releases with Ministry of Sound, Fabric and Finger Lickin', to founding his own Against The Grain label and Brighton's Supercharged club nights, Krafty Kuts' career reads like a long-form study of British bass culture. Pulling from UKG, breaks, bassline and with flashes of jazz, Turbulence twists familiar forms into something far harder to pin down. The beats are fractured and the energy is unpredictable by design. Collaborations come loaded with pedigree and punch: MC Spyda (of Tarantula with Pendulum and Balaclava with Shy FX fame) rides the low-slung, future-leaning 'Running', while B Live cuts through the breakbeat-garage hybrid 'Best In Me'. Elsewhere, 'Rocket' glows with the soulful touch of Scarlett Quinn, and Skool of Thought helps unleash the broken beat juggernaut 'Flowers'. This isn't an album that blends genres - it destabilises them. Check out the club smashes 'Wub Juggler' and 'New Ting', with support spanning from Rinse FM to BBC Radio 1. 'Over the past few years I've been releasing an EP series called Breakin' Boundaries, because I've always been about exploring the full depth and range of bass and breaks-driven music, irrespective of sub-genre. This album has been a long time coming, and honestly, I feel like I've pushed my sound further than ever before. It's full-throttle bass, diving deep into where breaks can go next - but it also includes deep, melodic songs too' This marks the first artist album released on Against The Grain in a few years, inspired by the resurgence of interest in the breaks genre and its embrace by A-list artists such as Fred Again, Chris Lorenzo, Bonobo to name a few. But do not expect a polite reintroduction. This is Krafty Kuts with the lights down low and the bass turned up, delivering a contemporary body of work that, as the title suggests, is here to shake things up.

Ed Solo and Deekline have spent the better part of two decades at the forefront of bass music. Not only have they been champions of the most raw and dirty beats, many would go so far as to say they are some of the architects of the ragga Jungle sound. These two bad boys have consistently pushed the envelope in new and exciting ways, and are steadfast in their ability to look into the future while always paying homage to their roots. They're legendary for their skanky riddims as the low end technicians behind classic tunes like "Bad Boys" and "King Of the Bongo." They've returned to drop science on the masses for the 5th installment of the Welcome to the Jungle series, which has now become a flash point for the freshest and most forward thinking sounds in the genre. Spread across 2 dynamic mixes the boys lay down the bass in an aural journey through dirtnasty bass and crispy clean rhythms. The Jungle Cakes crew always pays intensely close attention to detail, and only selects tunes that are both teeth rattling and forward thinking. Industry heavyweights like Serum, Bladerunner, Serial Killaz, Benny Page and JFB have all laid down the weight contributing their best beats to knock the subs. Of course No Jungle Cakes compilation would be complete without a dizzying array of edits, remixes and originals from the bad boys themselves: Deekline and Ed Solo. Like the four comps before it, this is destined to become a future classic.
