  • TUFF LOVE DUBS

    TUFF LOVE DUBS' 12th release is out now!

    At only 17 years old, Static Function is one of the most interesting young names on the lips of Dubstep fans right now. Still fresh on the scene his very first single release (End to End & Right Between The Eyes) was so stunning TUFF LOVE DUBS immediately tapped the man for a 4 track EP (TUFF012 - BANG BANG EP). Hailing from the musical hotbed of Brighton England he's in the perfect musical backdrop for his developing style, a craft of complex but dance-floor sensible tunes that sound like they were made by producers twice his age!

  • UltraGore


    Ultragore Recordings is back with its third hard-hitting release, a collaboration between
    Sluggo and Bare. Label boss Sluggo takes a trip across the desert to the surf and sand of sunny
    California where Los Angeles’ Bare has been making major noise on the domestic dubstep
    scene. With tunes recently landing in the sets of Dieselboy, Excision, Datsik and Trillbass and
    with upcoming releases on Sub Human and Hollow Point, Bare’s been making an indelible mark
    on US dubstep as of late.

    On Shy Guy, Sluggo and Bare drop a chugging beast of a tune a in their first collabo together. A
    pitched down pan flute warms things up to the drop where a heavy digital squelch evolves along
    a bubbling bass line throughout. An aggressive top end and subdued bass create a versatile tune,
    working as a bridge point between power cuts on the for the big room jock or something to pick
    up the energy for your deeper minded DJ.

    B-side has Bare going solo with Mmm Mmmm. This low-end burner has dances with elements of
    skweee and hip hop, as 8-bit bleeps and battle wax sample stabs ride a tough mid-range grinder.
    Everyone’s favorite beer spokesman stops in for a few minutes, signing off with exuberant
    approval on Bare’s brand of dub.
    Ps - If you don't want us sending you new dubstep Stormers... defriend plz.
    If you like being on top of nastiest though get ready for the next
    release! UltraGore Recordings presents Decree "Synthetic Cocktail"!

    It’s a family affair as Ultragore Recordings returns with its second single, a two-pack of collabos
    between Sluggo and a couple other heavy hitters from the Ultragore family. After the success of
    the all out rage-fest that was I Get Violent, Sluggo and company show a deeper, more melodic
    side of Ultragore with Power Glove. ( click here to preview)

    On the lead single, Sluggo teams up with UK vet Kirkus. After a string of strong releases with
    Dirty Circus, Stupid Fly, Execu7ion, Bass Punch, and BroTown, Kirkus seems to have met his
    match in Sluggo. While both still have a taste for murder bass and heavy whomp, Power Glove
    has the two venturing into new territory with surprising results.
    In another collaboration tour de force, Sluggo and Kirkus team up with label boss Lank for
    a chuggy stepper on We Kill Everything. Once again, Sluggo and Kirkus open up with some
    airy synth notes, quickly deteriorating into some chopped up squelch going into the drop. A
    deep, heavy bass line chugs along at a healthy clip, with some 8-bit highlights and heavy bass
    injections along the way to keep things interesting. Despite its title, We Kill shows that the
    monster inside of Ultragore isn’t all blood-thirst and terror—apparently there’s a brain inside the
    beast.
    Ps - If you don't want us sending you new dubstep Stormers... defriend plz.
