Cut N Shut by Frost LDZ

Big fan of the LDZ. Frost delivers a mixtape that kept me smiling for the best part of 40 minutes. Ridiculously good and keeping with the optimistic and humourful LDZ vibe. Not to be missed.

Strategy - PreSeason Training

As one half of UK hipHop outfit Broke'n'English, Strategy shows off what their recent Umbro bursary can do in only 2 weeks! Not one to shy away from his roots, the lyrics are a homage to the City he grew up in and everything else that happened along the way. Freebies like this bring a mighty smile to my face and its going to be interesting to see what Strats and DRS come up with for their follow-up to their debut album, Subject2Status. Highlights of this appetite whetter are the acoustic version of Life On The Costa Del Salford ft. Samim Harmim, The Bleep Test and The Referendum ft. Konny Kon and DRS. Bag this and then head over to Broke'n'English blog and bag everything else you can. Refreshingly original stuff.

Dub Phizix - Break It

Big, big, big fans of Dub Phizix round here and his new single is released this week on Criticals sister label, Modulations.

On the A side "Break It" comes in hard with a growling bass line thats been devastating clubs for some time. On the flip Dub Phizix teams up with Skeptical to bring you "Four" an eyes down steppah which carries both of their unmistakeable sounds thrown into the mix.

Can't get enough of this stuff. Clean, deep and rolling tracks. I've said it before but the production is incredibly tight. Dub Phizix is clearly a man who loves his work.

Sounds That Speaks Volumes 11

Plasticians yearly mix returns packed full of bass driven beats and once again seamlessly bridges the gap between dubstep and grime. Exclusives are in abundance which is surely expected by now. The links will probably change as more of the mix becomes available as single tracks etc but nevertheless its surely an essential freebie.

1. Maurice D – Satisfied
2. Synkro – Girl
3. Bonobo – Eyesdown ft. Andreya Triana (Warrior One remix)
4. Gothtrad – Cut End
5. Matt U – Magma
