about

I'm sure most of you are familiar with SkinzMann, but if you're not let me give you the lowdown quickly. The man is a pioneer; laying down beats for the likes of Killa P, Badness, Flowdan, Flirta D, Traumatik and many morem, whilst simultaneously building one of the sickest discographies around. On the label side, his imprint Titanium Audio has built a reputation for underground bass music releases of the highest quality, dropping huge EPs from the likes of bossman Skinzmann, Vital Techniques & Mikey B, Dunkee and Rapture 4D over the past year.

First up is the main man himself Skinz. This one takes you back to the old skool, hitting the nail on the head with a grimey intro before switching up to a dose of screeching synths and classic 4x4 gullyness. I've heard this out a few times, but seeing it dropped at Boomtown's Job Centre was next level; sweaty vibes and a low ceiling were the perfect accompaniment for arguably one of the standout bassline tunes of this year. It goes without saying it got wheeled up almost instantly to a massive reaction from the crowd. Expect to hear this one in sets up and down the country, if you're not shelling this then get to know!

Premiered by the dons over at 3000 Bass, this remix from Second To None head honchos Vital Techniques will send you through the roof. The Leeds duo kick things off again with an in-your-face 4x4 riddim, making use of chops of Kdot's lyrical tones in the build up to an expertly produced b-line that incorporates elements of bassline, bass house and grime flavas. Trust us, this remix goes OFF. Cue mental scenes.

We were lucky enough to have the honour of premiering this one over on the On The Wax Soundcloud, and boy oh boy what a heater it is from the ever-consistent Palize - one of our favourite producers at the moment. He really hit the ground running with the iconic 'Scary' collab with K Dot & Tempo, a tune that's gone on to cement its place as a classic. This remix takes all that's great about SkinzMann's original take on the track and strips some of the hard 4x4 tempo away, whilst subliminally transforming the track into a deeper and more complex remix.

OH MY GOSHHHH, this is perhaps our favourite tune off the EP (3 minutes in). One of the most exciting names in the scene right now, Burt Cope, comes through with this pack-a-punch stomper that combines touches of vintage UKG and more heavier bassline influences. Despite the slower feel to it, Cope's remix is one of, if not the heaviest of the lot. With this being a predominantly bassline EP, the young producer's remix stands out as a bit of a wildcard; it works perfectly.

Bristol badman Fiyahman is up next with a class remix that takes more of a focus on the low end, moving to a stripped back approach for the first 16 bars before reclaiming the 4x4 nature of its predecessors. Again making great use of Kdot's vocals, the South West don, who's recently dropped tunes on Second To None & In:flux shows his production prowess again here.

Wow. That's all that needs to be said really isn't it? Up last, but CERTAINLY not least is Agro, who's fast becoming an absolute beast in the drum & bass scene. Getting him on remix duties for this EP was a touch of genius from Skinzmann & Titanium, adding the perfect touch of wobbly, 174 flavour to a release full to the brim with 4x4 riddims. You can notice the change of pace in the intro, but that doesn't prepare you for the drop - it's a scorcher.
