CD // £9.99Studio Rockers' in-house Dubstep/Nu Jazz fusioneers follow up 2009s debut eponymous debut album with 'Hyper Nomads' - 19 tracks of blazing horns and bilious dubstep bass. The trio of AndreEa (vocals), BarBie (trombone, MC, effects) and Xperimentalist (DJ, drums, effects) are pretty much the only live Dubstep band worth mentioning (unless you count the three Macbooks of Magnetic Man), and maybe the only live Dubstep band in existence. 'Hyper Nomads' features UK HipHop crew Foreign Beggars on 'Raising The Bar', punky stepper styles on 'Baby, Don't Leave Me', Borgore-like rave squeal on 'Sweet Tooth', Shackleton-esque 'step on 'Stronger' and funky rollers on 'Naked Lunch'.
12" // £5.99Full spectrum bruk-out from Germany's No.1 Dubstep fusion band and the UK's Foreign Beggars. 'Raising The Bar' kicks off like Toxic Funk Berry on a bag of whizz, while the Beggars spit expletives your ma wouldn't like. On the remixes, Wascal flips it for the double garage crew, while Stray goes all-out Jump-up jungle and Nuphlo churns it up for the Dubstep mans.

Dubstep's premier troupe spark off a pair of big room heaters for Tony "Moody Boyz" Thorpe's Studio Rockers imprint. The A-side 'Investment Decision' shreds big band parps and wheezes over a bullish bassline while the very brief 'Perspective' gives 44secs of doomy jazz breakout. On the flip 'Sweet Tooth' features the sugary vocals of Erika set to ultra-bright and ebullient orthodox dubstep benefitting from production from Mr Moody Boy himself. Also included in Instrumental version.
Impressive floor driving styles on 'Five', attacking a dubstep riddim with an innate sense of control ferocity and heaviness that we feel was lacking from their previous effort. 'AmeriCa' continues this run of form with a wildout rave smasher featuring some blazing trumpet and trombone action ready to rile any dancehall. The fun doesn't stop there either, Phokus turns this into a pretty sick EP with his remix of 'Five' on the flip, cut loud and heavy on a 45rpm pressing Phokus ramps up some screwy 4/4 business uniquely sitting between Coki styled midrange riffage and charging bassline house with swooping reece basses and a brilliant horn refrain, it's a bit of a killer.

The Dubstep crew's favourite live-band outfit jump-up with a skanking flavour on 'Alpha' backed with a Borgore remix. Their original cut is a useful tool for the DJ's with heavyweight production balanced out by sweetened reggae horns and samples but we reckon most interest is going to be on Borgore's remix on the flip, leading the way for the dubstep rave generation with aggressive synthlines, tricky drops and a fierce attitude that gets the kids skanking, or is it skoshing? Limited copies!
Limited upfront copies. Using the full might of the brass section at their disposal, JazzSteppa make a charged up dubstep sound, wobbling atop swollen bass and hard snapping halfstep percussion that will put any soundsystem through it's paces, so there's no worry of them sounding like a flimsy live outfit. The Dub version mercifully dumps the vocals and steers the track in the direction of the DJ's with a nastier finish on the bass. Big with N-Types, Rich Reason, Joe Nice and Ruckspin.
Back in stock! Once you get past just how bad the name is, Jazzsteppa offer up a "Live Band" element to what has mostly been a studio-based genre. In this case the band offer up skittering drums and lightweight bass, though "Two" is slightly more interesting with its unusual templates - the drummer thankfully allowed to break free of the mis-fitting halfstep blueprint... Check.
