Tracklisting
A1 Bullet Tooth - Private Caller
A2 Bullet Tooth - Wanted
B1 Bullet Tooth - George's Groove

Sales Note
Explosive UK producer Bullet Tooth - one of the most talked-about names in bass music for 2025 - crashes onto Time Is Now, the cutting-edge sister label of Shall Not Fade, with a thunderous three-track EP that delivers nothing short of pure, sub-heavy chaos. Known for his genre-warping blend of UKG, breaks, jungle, and grime-inflected basslines, Bullet Tooth has been making serious waves in the underground with his uncompromising sound and high-octane DJ sets.

Drawing influence from the raw energy of early dubstep and the precision of modern UK club sounds, Bullet Tooth's productions are built to devastate dancefloors - and this latest release is no exception. Packed with seismic low-end pressure, razor-sharp percussion, and twisted vocal chops, each track is a statement of intent from a producer firmly in his stride.

This marks Bullet Tooth's debut on Time Is Now, a label that has rapidly become a cornerstone of the UK's contemporary bass scene. Since its launch, Time Is Now has earned a reputation for championing the next generation of bass-heavy innovators - from UKG and breaks to jungle and speed garage - offering a platform for artists who push the boundaries of sound system culture with forward-thinking flair.

With this release, Bullet Tooth not only cements his place among the UK's most exciting producers but also adds another essential entry to Time Is Now's ever-growing catalogue of future classics.
