Hot Picks

After a year of anticipation and road-testing at the biggest festivals on the planet, the mighty Pendulum deliver In Silico. Including the Top 10 smash Propane Nightmares and Granite which has been rinsed to death by Radio One's Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and Grooverider, these ten tracks represent the next stage for the most exciting band on the planet.

Machete! We've had more requests for this bad boy than any other drum and bass track in our history and so here it is on .WAV and high quality MP3. The follow up to Mr Happy, this is the sound of 2008. All four tracks on this release are beasts. Salute!

Who the badman!? Clipz and TC deliver double trouble on the most eagerly awaited remix this year. A brockout anthem for the skinted generation inside the ride. Punk rock drum and bass from the west that's the soundtrack to your nights spent in saving money for the next big dance. Standard!

Jonny L comes with the 'Piper' vibes all over the excellent High Contrast album cut Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Showing why he's still one of the biggest fish in the pool, the Piranha man destroys this cut with his trademark steel snares and warped edits. A monster

What do we like the most about this? Easily the best new release of the week in a staggering FOUR PAGES of DnB, Blame tears it up with this urgent and epic piece of pure danger! It's no surprise the man has been all over Radio One and Kiss FM of late. It's like three big tunes rolled into one and we love every tiny little detail. Beast.

The likes of Hype, Blame, Andy C and High Contrast have all been rinsing the bollocks off of this and rightly so, it's a huge anthem! The first release in a while from Ram's sister label Frequency but it has certainly been worth the wait!

SICK! Bridging the gap perfectly between dubstep and techstep (in much a same way as Zinc's legendary remix of Skream's 'Midnight Request Line') comes this filthy bastard of a record from Martsman. A superb release from Hospital offshoot Medschool

Kasra's Critical Music label are purveyors of quality drum & bass and really need little introduction to most serious heads. Need more proof? Check the hugely inventive beats on offer here from Sabre & Vicious Circle. A window into the future..

Fokuz have been flexing their muscle of late and this analogue liquid effort is yet another notch in their keyboard. Soaring sounds perfect pads give this a psychedelic edge that'll have the 'floor drifting off into another realm of blissful beats. Nice.

The Magnet Men give us this pacey Breakbeat effort on the Inigo Distro label. Savagely dark bass synths that wouldn't sound out of place in a DnB tune, dark FX and some bad boy vocals! We like this a lot, check it out!
