This promises to be an insightful & honest portrait of one of the most important artists music has ever seen... Out now in cinemas & On Demand via iTunes, XBox & Facebook (although apparently not in the UK).

Squarepusher is back with a new album! Ufabulum is out on the 14th of May and here's the first track from it complete with incredible video of his live stage show. Pre-order the album on double vinyl, double cd or get the T-Shirt with free MP3 / Flac here. Dark Steering in his own [...]

Synkro is back with a new 4 track ambient / minimal LP released on recently resurrected Apollo Records. In times where every bass-based track feel fast, hectic, screechy and over processed, it is a breath of fresh air to stick this on, sit back and let the luscious chords, heavy pure bass tones and perfectly [...]

Here is the first look at the cover artwork for Santigold's new album 'Master of My Make-Believe' (due on the 1st of May). The full story of the cover is documented over at the NY Times We've also linked to the 'making of' video below. But first, the first offering from the album. Great [...]

RAM Records DnB legend Sub Focus returns with the second track from his new album (first being Falling Down). I actually think this is better than Falling Down. By the way, Falling Down is available as a free download from the official Sub Focus website. Did we mention that the already-brilliant Sub Focus live [...]

It struck me the other day that I hadn't blogged about one of my favourite albums of 2011, the self-titled Author. The album consists of 99 tracks although only 8-9 of them are full length tracks, the others are 5 second clips of silence which don't actually play (I have no idea why they're [...]

Finally Zeds Dead release their long-awaited EP 'Adrenaline'. In The Beginning starts the EP with deep wobbles before Adrenaline delivers exactly what it promises: Dancefloor adrenaline is spades along with some great vocal samples which balances nicely with the tearing synth lines. Oh No features pitched-up vocals with the signature hip-hop chopped beat [...]

Hi World! Did you think we'd died? Yeh we did too for a bit (musically of course). We've had a bit of a hiatus over Christmas, but first things first. Meery Christmas & Happy (Belated) New Year! We've been quiet over the period for one simple reason ... not much is taking our fancy [...]

I first heard Noisia's new track on Zane Lowe's show last night & immediately loved it. It builds nicely to a laid back hip-hop beat then drops into an energetic kick-led D&B pattern before kicking off big-style ... would I say it was instantly recognisable as Noisia? Nope - but that's a good thing [...]

Hi all! It's been a while hasn't it!?!? Well we were planning a big comeback post but this is just WAY too good not to post immediately... If you're wondering, I found this on the brilliant Big Up Magazine Podcast 50 - Phaeleh Mix and if you're liking the depth.....

Another quality piece of production from LR favourites Noisia. Teaming up with Phace on this one, its an avalanche of shuddering beats and bass. Definitely worth checking out if you havent heard this yet. I'd also like to recommend this little beauty from Phace. Released on neosignal a few months back. Definitely pushing the sound [...]

I'm aware we don't usually blog about Hip Hop on LR, but we do recognize genuine talent when we hear it, that's why there no question this guy deserves a mention!! He goes by the name of "Supanice" and he's now considered one of the best freestlye MC'S in the North East. Not [...]

Wow! I could sum up Outlook Festival 2011 in 2 words - absolutely mindblowing - but I'll try and be a bit more descriptive! In last year's review we called Outlook Festival 'life affirming'. I might have to go further this year. Outlook Festival is bass music Mecca - an essential pilgrimage for any [...]

Morning all! It's been way too long since I've posted something (been busy doing personal stuff) but I'm back with some bangers! First up, the Mastertrons remix of Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. On the 9th August 2009 the Italian duo The Mastertrons was born. On the 9th August 2010, they launched their first [...]

Our last Be Lazy Mix podcast was in June. This is shocking. An unforgivable sin, a travesty. However, luckily we've persuaded one of the hottest emerging talents, Joe Garston, to put together a half-hour Be Lazy Mix of epic proportions. This is peaktime summer house / electro at it's finest! Tracklist Joe Garston - Thats [...]

A great little free download from a few months back. Well worth checking out his soundcloud too... Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zuvy pjcgrbfb5bd http://soundcloud.com/cryptuk

Another great production from Jack Dixon. I reakon the remix really gives this track the kick up the arse it needed in the first place! Summery vibes galore. Making me look forward to my holidays in two weeks! If you havent heard of him before be sure to check out his track 'coconuts'. His track [...]

The final part of our exclusive interview with Callum B. If you missed the rest, read part one here & part two here. There appears to be some controversy surrounding your remix of Flatland Funk feat. Tory D - Lose Control sounding too much like Skrillex, Does this bother you?? It only bothers [...]
