Littlefoot makes a welcome return with his long awaited follow up ep “Psychedelic Crew Vol 2″. In the time between releases Littlefoot’s profile as a producer and dj has grown enormously, with bookings all over the UK and plays from just about every dj pushing Future Garage! The first track “Sell My Soul” is a 2-steppy bouncy affair that has had people screaming for a release for months, finally its here! Next up is underground favourite “Pripyat” with huge support from Whistla on Sub.FM this track already has a huge fanbase, with its menacing intro and insane synth work, this is a Future Garage classic in the making! 3rd is “4th Dimension” not happy with simply 3d, Littlefoot takes us on a bass fuelled ride into his vision. Finally is “Ridge Cut”, with support from all quarters due to its infectious groove and wild swing, this is the perfect track to end the release, and have you screaming for more!

L2S027
L2S label boss (and founding father of the future garage movement) Whistla, returns with another E.P that redefines the boundaries of Future Garage! 4 tracks that are as varied as they are inovative. First up is “Never Again” with huge support both from fans via his radio show and soundcloud page, Whistla’s incredible use of vocal chops, massive bass, a “running man” skippy beat and strings to make your heart melt, kick off the ep. Next up is the all out psychedelic assault that is “London Love Story”, first dropped at Rhythm Factory in East London, this track simply defies description, the future has arrived, and it is intense! Third we have the deep and deadly roller “No-One”, moody strings and a massive sense of space pervade even though the 4by4 influenced future garage rhythm is driving and intense, with bass that makes your chest implode! Finally is “Only Treasure” with huge support from djs across the board, Whistla has managed to fuse old skool synths with up to the minute beats and bass, as well as a sense of uplifting melancholy.

L2S hit release number 25, and its one of the most adventurous yet! 1 track with 4 different perspectives! First up is Submerse’s remix, already well known for there previous outings, this remix is full of bass drops, silky 2step beats, and the originals lush guitar. Whistla steps up next, the father of Future Garage hits us with the most melodic and catchy version of all! Layering guitars and looping amazing vocal programming to the accompaniment of funky deep sub bass, and highly charged 2step beats. Third up is Clueless, with a totally stripped back approach to the remix duties he delivers his own take on Touches original with his swung out grooves and big atmospherics. Fourth is the mighty M2J, taking the listener deep into bass technology with sub that will shake your soul and tough beats that seamlessly fuse garage and breaks. Finally is the Original Mix by Touch, a half step melodic roller, with rich metallic bass and head down vibe. Definitely one you will need in the bag!
Monz joins the ranks of L2S bringing with him there first 4×4 release. Long awaited since the first plays this received on Sub.FM from Whistla, it’s finally here!
First up is the vocal chop up beauty that is “Make A Way”, if you like Todd Edwards vocals and bumping Garage beats with massive bass, this is for you! Second is another vocally track, this time “In My Head” has a slightly more ravey feel, trademark bass and amazing melodies make this a crowd favourite. Third up is “Jaunt” with melodies that Larry Heard would be proud of, that are so insistent and catchy that you will find youself humming it for the rest of the day! Accompanied by Monz’s beats and bass, this is a serious grower! Fourth, and finally, Monz switches it up entirely with “In Da Club”, showing how dark 4×4 should be done, fans of Narrows, Dexplicit and even 187 Lockdown will love this!

L2S017
Duncan Powell, the nu-skool garage master, has gone all future garage! Trust us when we say this collection of tracks will be one of the defining releases of 2010. With support from; Whistla, MJ Cole, Sunship, Elski and loads more, these are 4 tracks that will shape the future of garage as we move into the new decade!
First up is title track and MJ Cole favourite “Came Into View” a lush and richly atmospheric garage/dubstep/rnb crossover track, showing just what is possible with the half step beat signature. Next is “Hold You” a track that L2S had to fight to sign due to the number of labels interested in signing it, we won! and are happy to present this Future Garage masterpiece. Continuing the trend on the ep of huge atmospherics, melodies and funky sub bass Hold You is a hypnotic rollercoaster ride through Duncan’s vision of Future Garage. 3rd we have “Wombat Nite” a track that has been moving djs and ravers since it was mailed out to a lucky few djs, smoothly blending half step and 2 step beat signatures with huge spacey strings and stabbing melodies and sub bass to create a whole new aestetic and approach to arrangement. Finally we have the beautiful “Need Love” a cry in the darkness for all those looking for love, excellent vocal treatments and slick 2 step beats along with a simply next level bass line make this perfect for the 4am crowd.
