"Jayglo strikes hard with his debut release for Boka Records. Most of you may know Vista, well Jayglo is his alter-ego as an output for his funk-laden dubstep beats, think Joker rucking with Herbie Hancock!"

BOK 029EP
|
"It's another heavy-hitter from the Boka camp, this time it's a debut on the label from Vista & Presence Known whose well-publicized collaborations have caught the attention of the likes of Excision, Chris Renegade, 16bit, Datsik, etc., and have been featured on the hugely popular 'Inspector Dubplate' YouTube channel. These tunes are ultra heavy with a distinct drum & bass influence, massive club tunes that really need to be heard on a fat system, pretty much the dubstep equivalent of deep, dark heavy metal! Vista in his own right is a successful dubstep producer having had a tune featured on the recent Fabric compilation Elevator Music and Presence Known has just released a tune on legendary d&b label Virus with BTK. Vista has plenty of big tunes coming on Boka Records so keep your ears to the floor for those."

BOK 023EP

"Debut release on Boka Records for Hungarian based production maestro Matt-U. Fresh from a release on NType's label Wheel & Deal, these two unique deep and dark productions have been kept relatively under wraps until now, currently receiving support from the likes of Jakes, N-Type, DJ Madd, Vista, Flight (Rinse FM) and Nick Argon (Sub FM). 'Can't Wake Up' is a high energy thriller not to dissimilar from the sounds of Benga, literally impossible to keep still to this one, industrial skankout business, 'Whyle The Fuck Out' is a fresh funk-tastic deep roller which is gunna surprise a lot of people."

"Big tune alert! Boka Records hire the services of in-demand producer Akira Kiteshi to remix the recent DJ Madd hit entitled 'Better With You,' the original having been supported by the likes of 16BIT, Ikonika, Alexander Nut and Akira Kiteshi themselves. This remix is causing quite a stir on the dubstep circuit with support from N-Type, Bunzer0, Truth, and Bobby & Nihal (Radio1) who continue to support the Akira sound! 'I Know It's You' on the flip sees Madd on a low-key Burial tip, soulful sounds, cut up grainy samples and a mysterious melancholic vibe, further proof that DJ Madd can adapt to any style and always produces quality beats. Support already from Radio 1's Rob Da Bank, Bunzer0 and Tempa's TRG."

"Marlow is officially 'Back 4 More,' making his long-awaited return to Boka Records since 'Tremor' dropped back in 2007. Fresh from remixes on Southern Fried Records and Skint, BOKA021 showcases Marlow's brand spanking new beat along with arguably his most popular club tune. 'Back 4 More' has been supported by the likes of Toddla T, who most recently showcased the tune on a Radio 1 essential mix for Pete Tong. It's currently play listed on Ministry of Sound radio and Rob Da Bank is also on the case with a tune that see's Marlow on a euphoric garage tip. 'Bandwagon Junglist' is an epic club banger that has been doing the rounds for over a year now, a highly anticipated beat and easily the most requested tune in Marlow's ever expanding range of artillery."

"Another 'buy on sight' release for the Boka Records camp. A fresh and long-awaited release from T. Langridge aka Tunnidge. 'Higher Forces' is an absolute foot stomper. Big kick drums, chirpy horns and a face-slapping snare. Guaranteed to tear up the dance! 'Riddles of Jah VIP.'...relentless. Speaker check on this. This is the way dubstep should be...effective, impactful and uncomplicated. Get this release now -- you'll be sorry if you sleep." -- Joe Nice. "Support for the releases comes from Mala, Distance, Cyrus, Marlow, Rob Sparx, Pinch and more."

"Back with a bang for the next Boka release is Manchester's SNO. One of the dubstep scene's heaviest warriors, this EP shows SNO's full range of styles. First up is 'Can't Touch Dis,' a track getting battered at every dubstep rave from London to Nova Scotia. On the flip is 'Urb,' a track on a future reggae flex. And last but not least is 'Fear,' a track that's so dark, it's hard to listen to it all the way through without feeling like you're going to be sick."

BOK 010EP

"Boka finally gets into double figures with a three track EP from Bristol-based producer Nightwalker aka Sound Box Productions. Nightwalker's sound is pure bass heavy madness that mixes up a fusion of styles including grime, electronica and dubstep. 1) 'Magic Beans' features a jump up bass that sits awkwardly on wild beats, but before getting too comfortable, the track breaks down into a sublime piano hook and then builds into another bassline assault. 2) 'Spakture' is a track of skunktronica proportions with its solid beats, low-end attack and spaced-out effects. 3) 'Wartorn' is classical gutter substep that submerges you bang into the middle of low-end war."

"This record sees the return of Boka boss Professor J-S and a solo effort from Kudos, one half of the mighty Sound Proof Productions. Look out for the last two releases of 2006 from Boka featuring big new bass scientists -- Night Walker and The Others. 'Can't Sleep': After previous releases on Boka and Undergrowth Music, the Professor has been busy in the lab designing new bass bombs. 'Can't Sleep' is all about minimal sub pressure with its stripped down structure and pulsating bass -- one for the sound systems. 'Weirdo's Welcome': After the big success of the Ruggard EP, Sound Proof return with a solo effort from Kudos. This track does not waste any time before jumping into head cracking beats and a bass that hacks like a chainsaw."

"The return of Birmingham's Emalkay. A scientist that gets better and better, Emalkay is a producer with skills to be reckoned with, and with an album on the horizon, the morphic man is going to be big name to look out for in the future.1) 'Bats in the Belfry' takes it to the next level, with its solid half step beats, strings that give you shiverz, and a bass that rumbles like a hungry giant's belly. 2) 'Overflow' causes complete damage, with its powerful beats and battering bass. 3) 'Super Duper' take bass notes up and down the octave and smashes them with an underlying hard-edged beat with cliff edge break downs and build ups."

"With Boka releases starting to take over the underground shops' shelves across the world, this release features another two more rising stars in the UK dance scene -- DJ Kudos & Yungy, who together make up Soundproof Productions. 1) 'Marv' is a track that has started a new dance craze in West London called 'falling' -- and when you hear the bassline to 'Marv' drop you will know why. 2) '85' - with a filtered house influence to it, '85' is a low-end frequency number which will punish any big system. 3) 'Running Scared' - one of the rawest and most aggressive tracks to come out of the dubstep scene this year. 4) 'Beyond the Milkyway (120bpm Refix)' - the EP finishes off with a 120bpm Refix of a classic Soundproof number that was originally released on a white label last year, but now returns with a bigger bassline."

BOK 006EP

"After the devastation caused by the last release from Emalkay, Boka sees the return of the mighty MRK1 from Manchester's Virus Syndicate with a big four track EP. With previous releases on Rephlex and Soulja, and a debut album on Planet Mu, MRK1 has staked his claim as being one of the most talented and consistent underground producers in the UK. 'Tinkerbell' builds with quirky sounds, before the lights go out and the dark bass drops. 'Deadman': Tight strings and crisp hi-hats lead the track into a typical MRK1 two note bassline which is backed up my menacing strings. 'Trench Walk': With more gun shots than an average American film, 'Trench Walk' stomps along with low-end anger -- a track for the Boka tank! 'Quiver': The EP finishes off with one of the coldest, darkest electro mood-step tracks of 2006."
