Bristol music Godfather Rob Smith (Smith & Mighty) was a major force in the first wave Bristol Dubstep scene, not only as a huge musical influence on the likes of Pinch, Peverelist and Kahn but also as a producer in his own right. This typically dubwise and in demand 12" is one of his best from that era, repressed!

Kahn blazed his way in to the consciousness of the UK underground back in February this year with his debut release for Punch Drunk. His new 12” marks a return to the label, fully asserting his position at the forefront of Bristol’s new generation of producers. Lead track Illy lures you with it’s colourful immediacy, before torpedoing you headfirst in to a torrent of tumultuous bass and psychedelic riffing. Flipside, Tehran takes you a straight back to the old school of heavyweight subsonic steppers. Immersive. Stripped. Deadly. Powerful ammunition direct to the front of your record crate.

Punch Drunk proudly closes 2013 with a fearsome new 12” single from Hodge. This release marks his first solo release on the label following up his collaboration with Peverelist entitled ‘Bells’, which appeared earlier this year. Previous releases for Deadplate and Well Rounded Housing Projects have been well received, but we believe that this new record is certainly his best to date. On these two new tracks, Hodge draws on distinctly UK influences combining thumping broken jungle techno and modern era Bristolian dub aesthetics. Kicking off the 12”, “Resolve” is a real belter, rugged, visceral and pumped with attitude and adrenaline. On the other side, Prototype Fear delves deeper into the psyche, with shifting hypnotic machine riffing, frenetic nervous rhythms and unearthly bass pulses. Hodge has recently achieved great success with his House based project Outboxx with collaborators Matt Lambert and vocalist Naomi Jeremy, culminating in an album this year on Bristol’s Idle Hands label and a summer touring festivals and clubs throughout Europe. This record is a landmark 12” in defining Hodge as an artist in his own right, whilst adding another classic to the Punch Drunk legacy of hybrid electronic dance music from Bristol.

Bass Clef's long player 'Reeling Skullways' was met with a wave of critical acclaim when it arrived on Punch Drunk back in early Summer 2012, demonstrating his vision, passion and skill for electronic music as an artist and producer. The record captured the attention of director Steven McInerney who has previously directed videos for Circle Traps and Vessels as well as edited videos for Bloc Party, Jon Hopkins, Tim Exile, , PVT, Wagon Christ, Vladislav Delay and many more, inspiring a collaboration between the two artists. Now ready to be unveiled in all it's techni-colour glory, Punch Drunk will be releasing a 'Stenaline Metranil Solar Flare' EP to accompany the video featuring three new mixes from Bass Clef, Coseph Jonrad & Peverelist alongside the original mix. Bass Clef's remix comes all guns blazing, drawing on the influence and legacy of his East London surroundings, delivering a grime laden, juggernaut proportioned reworking of the original, racheting up the pressure a Bar every bar. The Peverelist mix draws on his Bristol influences with a system testing, psychedelic steppers version excursion. Finally, Bass Clef's Coseph Jonrad alias brings the EP to a luminescent finale of fractured sound and hypnagogic vocals

Intrusive Incidentalz Volume 2 is the concluding part of Ekoplekz?s collection of dark, oppressive atmospheres and violently unstable interludes, inspired by childhood memories of terrifying electronic soundtrack music from the 1970s. Developed through studio improvisation and channelling a sense of dread informed by the social, economic and political climate of life in 2012, Ekoplekz has delivered some of his finest, most vivid work to date. A bleak retro-futurist fantasy, or oblique soundtrack for a broken Britain? The truth probably lies somewhere between the two.

Following a busy year of stylistically varied releases under various guises on his own Magic + Dreams label, Ralph Cumbers delivers his first long-player for Punch Drunk. With a title lifted from the lysergic prose of a Brian Aldiss novel and grooves informed by the loopier, more Martian aspects of Chi-town jack and Detroit techno-soul, "Reeling Skullways" marks a subtle, but highly alluring development in the evolution of Cumbers' primary recording project.
Long-term Bass Clef fans may be surprised by the lack of samples on this album, and in many ways it follows a similar creative process to his recent work as Some Truths, with most rhythms and textures sculpted from the raw, elemental waveforms of modular analogue synthesis. But with tighter editing, contagious melodies and perfectly positioned drum patterns, the end results reveal Bass Clef simultaneously at his most stripped-back, focused, playful, complicated, emotional and irresistibly groovy. Unfettered by fashionable production tricks, imbued with a timeless machine-soul heart, "Reeling Skullways" is one of those albums you'll be reaching for again and again.

After a prolific 2011, Punch Drunk jump straight back in to action in the New Year with the searing percussion of new signing Tessela. Direct from his debut for Dublin?s ever impressive All City label last year, Tessela joins the ranks of Punch Drunk to kick start the year in fine style. With a signature razor sharp rhythmical workout and erupting molten subs, lead track ?D Jane? unleashes Richter scale tremors unto the dance. Without a pause for breath, the greased rolling funk of ?Channel? keeps the pressure at boiling point with it?s DND / Menta style bass line swagger and punctuated chops. Two devastating dance floor tracks that make for an impressive Punch Drunk debut. Expect to hear a lot more from Tessela in 2012.

Following critically acclaimed releases with Mordant Music and Further Records earlier this year, Ekoplekz delivers his first album for Punch Drunk. Dispensing entirely with notions of accessibility and dancefloor friendliness, 'Intrusive Incidentalz vol.1' is a 12 track collection of dark, oppressive atmospheres and violently unstable interludes, developed through studio improvisation and inspired by childhood memories of terrifying electronic soundtrack music from the 1970s, yet combined with a post-dubstep sensibility and a sense of dread informed by the social, economic and political climate of life in 2011. A bleak retro-futurist fantasy, or oblique soundtrack for a broken Britain? The truth probably lies somewhere between the two.

In 2011 Kevin Saunderson, Ann Saunderson and Paris Grey, collectively known as the legendary band Inner City, released ‘Future’, their first entirely new material since taking a break in 1996, written and produced in collaboration with another Detroit legend, namely Kenny Larkin, and the very talented producer / remixer Orlando Voorn. The track marked a welcome return for a group that combined the tough, futuristic grooves of the Detroit scene with the vocal energy of R&B and gospel and helped to define the period in which house and techno moved from underground phenomena to top 10 material, paving the way for hundreds of dance hits to come. The Kenny Larkin remix devastated dancefloors at the time and continues to do so over 10 years since its release. Now fully reissued backed with the Carl Craig edit from the original pressing and the MK AW Deep Dub which had previously only seen a one-sided hand stamped white label vinyl outing.
