Dub Phizix is pretty unique in his sound. He co-produces a lot with Skeptical so that's the closest. These guys make some great minimal though. There's an LP that's about to come out on Horo that will be similar to Mosaic Vol 2. Horo is usually vinyl only, but they're making an exception for this LP. Check out the Surus record shop.

Artists:
Chimpo
Skeptical
Clarity
Stray
Overlook
Loxy and Resound
June Miller (recently signed to Ram so don't expect anything good in the future)
Jubei
ASC
Pessimist
Ruffhouse
Indigo
Instra:Mental (split up)

Labels:
Autonomic
Samurai and sister label Horo
Horizons
Auxiliary
Ingredients
NonPlus
Cylon
Modulations

I dunno if Enei and Icicle really fit in that list. Same with June Miller, who yes, did really sign to RAM. Commercial Suicide, Shogun Audio (not digging their output much lately), and Critical (especially the sub-label, Modulations) are all pretty good labels, but I don't really think they fit in the list as they are far less experimental with their output than the others listed. In that list should go Dispatch, Subtitles, etc.

Since a lot of the previously mentioned labels are more on the leftield... Hidden Hawaii has amazing releases, Absys has been doing some good stuff on the deeper tip, CX Digital is a division of Cylon aimed at the more experimental sounds, and you can't forget Alphacut for some solid vinyl-only business and their various sub-labels (457 is awesome for dem dubwise riddims). Also worth checking out is Machinedrum's latest album Vapor City, great stuff though not entirely 170. Om Unit has an album coming out at the end of the month as well. Narratives Music is great and while they have a small catalogue it is pretty well all amazing.

And one final thing. Metalheadz has some amazing releases lined up.

The line up so far...

HEIST (Metalheadz/Ganja/Full Cycle/Co-lab/Digital Sound Boy + more)

Established as a DJ for over 15 years, Heist started producing tracks 12 years ago. In That Time hes produced tracks on many labels including his own imprints Sumo Beatz, Co-Lab & Calypso. Being Influenced by all styles of Drum & Bass from the start, Heist’s incredibly adaptable production style has seen his tunes find themselves into a variety of big name’s DJ boxes across the scene, together with the compliment of being sound engineer to Goldie’s productions (Also as Rufige Kru) for the last 6 years. Expertly balancing a long line of ambitious production projects with his first love of DJing, Heist continues to play out across the UK and Europe, America and Australia to an ever-increasing fan base.

CALLIDE (System Shock/ RAM Records/ Mix n Blen)

Callide hail’s from the City of Gloucester, and represents as a Drum & Bass DJ and Producer for close to 15 years. With many releases on a range of labels his edgy dance floor based sound has grown to receive much recognition. Setting up his label System Shock Recordings were tracks are focussed specifically for the dance floor, with the A side featuring nothing but tough edged D&B, and the flip focusing on the fast paced Jump Up side of things. As for his style, he is renowned for delving deep into the uncharted territories of Drum and Bass. It’s hard to label him with a particular style, as his sets range from Liquid, to Grime right through to the Darker Side, and more often than not, feature his latest dub plates fresh from his home studio.

LoKo (ProgRAM/ Screwloose)

Born deep in the West country in the small town of Glastonbury, LoKo was bought up surrounded by music. At just 9 months old LoKo was taken to his first Glastonbury festival and since then his musical journey has continued to progress. At the tender age of fourteen LoKo was starting to make a name for himself as an upcoming DJ and this quickly led to him supporting the likes of Pendulum & Goldie. While perfecting his djing skills LoKo wanted more from the music he loved and started producing. most recent venture ending up with him being signed to RAM Records new project "PROGRAM". During this time he has also set up his own label, the Bristol based Screwloose Records.

NEONLIGHT (Black Sun Empire/ Viper/ C4C/ Bad Taste)

Formed of Tobias and Jakob, Neonlight are now one of the Drum and Bass scene’s most highly regarded producing teams. In only three years the German based duo’s killer blend of musicality, attitude and sheer creativity has seen them work with DnB royalty, including labels such as Bad Taste, Trust in Music and Viper, and earned them countless fans in the process. With high profile releases for Lifted, BSE Recordings and Cause4Concern as well as tracks with the likes of Aeph, Inside Info, Hedj and Mefjus in their impressive discography, Neonlight have become a byword for unique, precise Drum and Bass - and there’s much more to come.

SCOTT ALLEN (Soul Deep/ Soul Rebel/ Celsius/ Phuzion Digital/ Fokuz Recordings)

Check out the interview with Scott Allen on the blog pages of FOKUS in next few days.
