Never Say Die tell us that they “will continue to shine a light on up-and-coming talents provided – as always – that the music is right. All the sounds and styles that Black Label represents will be supported by NSD as well.” Frankly, that is the most important part for us as Champions of the Underground, and for the scene as a whole.

Fittingly, Never Say Die: Black Label’s final track comes from Trampa, the artist who kicked off the madness way back in 2014. Through a looming soundscape, barking synths and low-pitched samples, ‘Sick Head’ is a piece that embodies the essence of Black Label, giving the imprint a proper send-off. As an artist who has remained at the helm of heavy dubstep for years, Trampa demonstrates exactly why he’s stayed at the top in ‘Sick Head,’ delivering a flow that is sure to send festival crowds ablaze upon their return.

We’d like to extend a massive thank you to Never Say Die: Black Label for what they have done for the scene, and we’re excited for what the future holds for Never Say Die. Don’t miss the emphatic ‘Sick Head’ as well as the label’s official statement on the matter below.

This tune is one of my favorites I’ve written, I wanted something to contrast the other darker tracks on the EP. I personally love contrasting melodic intros with heavier drops, and while I don’t feel like writing melodic oriented music is my strong suit, I’m really happy with how this track and some of my newer stuff has been coming out. I’m constantly trying to evolve my sound and progress forward as an artist and this whole EP is me trying to embody that. I have a big mix of experimental and heavy music on the way that I’m super stoked about. – Jiqui

Opening up with tranquil, soothing vocals that make stress drift off your body like steam in a sauna, you’re left in a state of blissful serenity, completely unaware of the carnage that’s about to commence. Quickly coming out of your lulled stupor, you’re greeted with an accelerating build before the jet engines ignite and you’re jettisoned straight to the moon. All gas no brakes, ‘Close To U’ is primed off of only the finest diesel, with the first drop demolishing all semblance of human life in the vicinity. Wheeling-and-dealing so much grime you’ll need an hour-long shower to scrub off the filth, Jiqui really decided to play no games and take no prisoners. The latter drop is even more brutal, sounding reminiscent of a futuristic cybernetic landscape ravaged by the AI technological advancements that have enslaved the populous. All hope is lost, machines are king, the only solid truth for humanity is pain and desolation. Is Jiqui working with the mechanized menace? Only one way to find out.

‘Endless Pain’ first appeared on my radar around a month ago when it snuck its way into the Hukae b2b Jub set, and I immediately added it to my list of unreleased material that needed identification as soon as possible. Thankfully, the wait wasn’t too long. ‘Endless Pain’ is one of those tunes that hits all the right notes, combining gritty bass and an oddly danceable rhythm that will surely make it a live stream favourite. The main notes are screechy yet sharp, with snappy percussion giving the drop sections an extra bounce. The use of call-and-response throughout ‘Endless Pain’ is ingenious, as Leotrix creates a pleasing contrast over a wide range of frequencies that are sure to tickle any bass lover’s fancy.

Don’t miss ‘Endless Pain’ below and stay tuned for Round III, out tomorrow.

Ahead of the project’s release, we have the pleasure of premiering ‘Melodic Mirror’ from the four-track ensemble. “On ‘Melodic Mirror,’ I wanted to make a mad melody, and thus the name came up. I really like both riddim and the melodic elements of dubstep and riddim. So, I wanted to showcase both my artistic sides and show some diversity in this track!” Cripplingg states about his latest piece.

Diversity is a great word to describe ‘Melodic Mirror.’ The introduction is brief yet draws intrigue with its underlying flow and repeated notes. As the drop quickly hits, this rhythmic flow is amplified to new heights, keeping an uplifting tone while hitting with the perfect amount of grit. A snappy melody and crisp percussion drive the energy of the track further, making ‘Melodic Mirror’ a track sure to be on repeat for hours on end. Don’t miss it below and stay tuned for more from Cripplingg soon.

With the impressive 45-minute mix hitting SoundCloud last week, a ton of hype was created surrounding the contributors to the compilation, with a few individual tracks appearing on the platform this week ahead of the project’s full release on Friday. Today, we have the extreme honour of premiering ‘Voltage Disk,’ a massive collaboration between the Akeos and JOOL. The latter has also been having himself quite the year, with releases on Never Say Die: Black Label, Circus Records and Odio Records, as well as collaborations with Hukae, Megalodon and WHALES to name a few, thus this joining of forces is not entirely out of the blue.

‘Voltage Disk’ is a menacing combination of Akeos and JOOL’s sounds. The introduction is quintessential Akeos, with a frantic, unnerving essence created in its early seconds. An insurmountable tension leads listeners to the drops that are equally as chaotic as they are mechanical and meticulous in their construction. A true display of grueling sound design, ‘Voltage Disk’ is among the standouts from Black Ops XL III, so stick around for the second half of the track to be further impressed by Akeos and JOOL.

Trading gritty, bone-shattering noise that feels reminiscent of something the grim reaper would whip-up in his own studio for a much more regimented, military-esque approach, Badklaat has catapulted himself squarely into the future. Maniacal heaviness greets squeaky-clean overall production, culminating in an end result that’s a treat on the ears, and rocket fuel for the soul. Impeccably sprinkled vocal samples, exceptional fills, and captivating flow meld into a ridiculously addicting final product. After a long hiatus, it’s a fantastic feeling to have a fresh body of work from one of the UK’s finest dub dealers, and especially one of this quality. A sure-fire can’t-miss for those that want to relieve some aggression, check out ‘MK5 Missile’ for yourself below!

With the Future EP set to hit streaming platforms via Never Say Die: Black Label on Friday, Hukae continues to showcase this sonic prowess, delivering four monstrous beasts that could individually set crowds ablaze. Ahead of the project’s full release, we have the honour of premiering ‘Doozy,’ one of the producer’s most impressive tunes to date.

As the introductory track to his 2020 Showcase, ‘Doozy’ is one many have been awaiting, and the full version does not disappoint. The piece is a flex of the gnarly flow that Hukae has mastered, as the artist is able to create yet another five-minute long brute that never grows old or repetitive. The introduction is captivating, the drops are menacing, and the attention to detail is meticulous. From the rattling top layers to the grungy sub-bass, Hukae has once again outdone himself, creating a soundscape capable of brutally hitting listeners in their core, while somehow making it danceable and fun.

Here’s to a speedy recovery for Hukae, and to a wicked project ahead. Don’t miss ‘Doozy’ below.

Up next from the bass maestro is a four-track beast of a project on Never Say Die: Black Label titled the UGHH EP. Featuring more IDs from the aforementioned mix as well as a couple of new brain-melters, it’s safe to say that Aweminus is in a league of his own. Ahead of its release on October 28th (and just in time for Halloween), we have the extreme pleasure of premiering ‘Dead Horse (Just A Beat)’ today.

As eclectic as its title, ‘Dead Horse (Just A Beat)’ is a short but sweet core-shattering tune that’s quick to the punch and doesn’t stop until it closes. A snappy vocal sample in the brief introduction paves the way for the grungy madness that follows, with Aweminus innovating in the realm of riddim as he’s done so exquisitely in the past. The drops are a mean, menacing display of sound design mastery, as each bar hits harder than the last. The ideas aren’t overly complex and Aweminus doesn’t try to do too much, but the simplicity paired with the crisp execution make ‘Dead Horse (Just A Beat)’ a true standout from his insanely impressive repertoire. Don’t miss it below.
