Christian Martin - Elephant Fight - KB10
Out July 23
Christian Martin is finally about to step into the light with his first solo EP.
The Elephant Fight Ep has been in the process of being put together for nearly a year now,
and finally its ready to roll and destroy floors across Europe and beyond. It has already gaining praises
from some of the biggest DJs and getting plays in Ibiza.
Elephant Fight is deliberately kooky enough to obtain
a huge reaction, it has a bassline that is as big as... well... an Elephant! On remix duty are the terrible twosome,
Justin Martin and label boss Worthy, who each lend their take on the track, both offering something completely different.
Justin Martin takes the track on more of a tribal Jungle trip while Worthy comes through with his signature rolling
bassline with trumpets and tusks fighting. Not only that, to round off the package is Christian's awesome 'Cabs, with
a sample surely to surprise and wake you up in the morning.

Yankee Zulu - Head Bob - KB09
Out June 18th
Yankee Zulu returns with his long awaited follow up to his EP "Good For You" with "Head Bob".
It open's with harsh techno beats and static and then shows YZ's trademark wonky face by dropping
a large portion of sickness! IDJ Magazine says "beats as strong as this deserve more than a mere headbob.
In fact, anything less than a karate-style kick dance would be rude!...this is Yanke Zulu at his hardest."
First up on the remix is US house music legend Hipp-e who turns in a mix that will surely cause some
shock. For those of you expecting deepness look away now! Hipp-E delivers some dark-ass'd tribal action,
that comes with a bassline that kicks hard enough to wake to the dead!!
The second remix comes from Worthy which see's him tip a load of bass into the mixer and match it with some marching beats.
This is more on the minimal side for Worthy, but with his signature dirty rolling bass sounds.

Yankee Zulu- Good For You Ep - KB07
Out Now
Our first release for 2008 is from our first newly signed producer, Yankee Zulu. Hailing from
Belfast in Northern Ireland, Yankee Zulu, wowed us with his first group of demo songs he sent us. We had to pick them
up immediately and put them.
The first and title song of the Ep, Good For You, is a jacking dub inspired track that builds on a crazy rising synth line
with dirty stabs cutting threw and a wobbly hook that instantly grabs your attention. It builds into a sick break down with a
vocal snipet belting out "Good For You" with an immense rise before dropping back into one of the funkiest drum lines we have heard.
The second song of the EP, Prang Out, is a darker and twisted track. It is builds up with a nasty synth line and filthy driving
bass with fierce noises threw out. This morphs into a huge break with a siren sounding synth that gets the crowd going crazy. It
then drops back into the driving bass and jacking groove before driving into a second break which rises and rises until it can't go
anywhere but back into a dirty groove.
Stepping up for the remix of Good For You is Worthy who brings us his Bleeper Rise Remix. It is a deep groover that builds upon a
new beepier synth line that combines with the rising synth of the original. It builds up with both sounds rising and intertwining
with each other until dropping into a funky drum line and sick groove that is sure to make your body jack every time.

12/16/07 - Mummer Gets 5 out of 5 in IDJ Magazine
"Key Dirtybirder Worthy unleashes another bomb, and, as usual, it doesn’t disappoint. ‘Mummer’ can be dissected into three parts; the bumpy intro, a soaring synth build with Ame-style keys and a screechy growly pay-off. Each part works in perfect harmony and will ensure your undivided attention throughout. And if that’s not enough, Mike Monday’s provided a supreme shufflesome techno rub. Download this, it might be the coolest thing you do all year."

12/04/07 - Worthy - Mummer Ep - KB06
Out Now
Our Latest installment is an EP from Worthy called Mummer which follows up the success of his last
release on Katabatic Bass Quake. Mummer, the title song, is sleek and stripped back tech house with a driving congo
line and a synth sound that swells up from beneath. It builds into a huge break with sounds twisting
and building on top of each other until they drop into some absolute minimal madness with one of the craziest
synth sounds your ears are likely to hear for awhile.
The second song on this release is Copious. Already finding its way into the bag of the like of Chris Duckenfield
who has called Copious "massive" and licensed to the OM records winter sessions CD by Style of Eye. Copious is a dirty
and twisted tech house track that has a driving funk line and big dirty bass with a huge drop in the middle that kills
every dance floor.
Stepping up for the remix of Mummer is none other than Mike Monday who needs no introduction. Mike takes Mummer and
twists it into a big pumping techno track with huge bass ready to destroy any sound system in the
world. This is perfect for any late night and will everyone wondering were there head is after
they hear the way Mike puts the sounds together on this remix.
