Suburban Base Records welcomes Spinscott with his debut release on the label, "Pure Magic / F2".

Hailing from the USA, Spinscott is a lifelong drummer, international performance DJ, and producer who has built a global following through his distinctive approach to jungle and drum & bass. His 100% real-time live sets, performed on drum machines and samplers, have set him apart, combining technical precision with the energy of live musicianship.

Through a steady output of widely shared Live Jungle Drum Machine videos, DJ mixes, and original productions, he has carved out a unique space within the scene, earning recognition for both his skill and his commitment to pushing performance boundaries.

"Pure Magic / F2" marks his first release on Suburban Base Records, bringing that same ethos into the label’s catalogue. The pairing reflects both his foundation as an artist and his forward-facing approach to the genre, aligning naturally with Suburban Base’s long-standing role in championing authentic jungle and drum & bass.

With a growing international profile and a clear artistic identity, Spinscott’s arrival on the label adds another distinct voice to the roster, grounded in craft, driven by performance, and built for the culture.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Proper ruffage here from Spinscott who tears apart the bassbins with a rude boi attitude and some of the most explosive drum programming you'll witness.

The Hitman aka Marvellous Cain delivers his most sought after tracks on vinyl!

"Return Of The Hitman" collects together 16 of the most exclusive cuts from Marvellous Cain’s extensive back catalogue, all remastered and presented as a collectable vinyl box set package.

This album has been a long time coming, much of that time spent by Marvellous Cain digging through his studio to find original DAT recordings of his most in demand hits, in the process unearthing some exclusive, never before released gems!

This album kicks off with 2 versions of arguably his most notorious track "Hitman", a certified jungle classic from 1994! For this compilation, Marvellous Cain has selected the version of "Hitman" previously only available on his debut "Gun Talk LP" back in 1995 (released on Suburban Base). He’s also treated us to the very long overdue, unreleased, DJ Stretch Dubplate VIP, originally produced in ’94, but never pressed to vinyl!

On the flip are two cuts from the infamous Lucky Spin imprint... "Life Is Rollin" & "Miss Out". Both tracks were originally available as a very limited white label press, but never got a full release. This has been selling for £90 on reseller sites due to its scarcity.

Record 2 is again packed with rare music, with 3 of the 4 cuts being unreleased to date. The first track "Will I See You?" has traded hands for an incredible £500 on Discogs, we can see many buying "Return Of The Hitman" for this track alone!

Our 3rd slice of vinyl see’s Marvellous Cain teaming up for studio collaborations with original jungle don Bizzy B on "Everyday Junglist", also with Libra for an unreleased alternative version of "Nu Music" discovered on the original session DAT from 1996.

The 4th and final slice of wax in this package introduces new remixes of a couple of classic tracks. "CB4" has been reworked for 2022 by Marvellous Cain himself. "Dubplate Style" has a fresh ‘22 lick by D&B’s hardest working DJ Nicky Blackmarket alongside production partner FreezeUK who’s recently released on Ram Records sister label Prog:Ram!

We close out with two dubplate exclusives from 95 & 96 respectively, taken from Marvellous Cain’s personal arsenal of DJ ammunition, and now available for the first time to the record buying public.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Another expansive anthology from Suburban Base, this time focussing on the pioneering genius that was Marvellous Cain. Responsible for many of jungle's biggest underground anthems, the label leave no bassbin untouched as they delve into some of his finest and lesser known moments.
