    Much has been written about graffiti and its place as an original pillar of hip-hop, but its links to rave are far less well-documented. In the UK, these two cultures evolved in tandem; as acid house paved the way for the evermore inventive and rebellious hardcore and later jungle, so too graffiti writers developed their own styles and approaches to combating the system in post-Thatcher Britain.

    Mumdance has dropped the latest in his self-released MD Dubs series, ‘MD004’, including new track ‘World Wide Web’, which samples classic 2000 drum & bass track ‘Deadline’ by Digital.

    Settle Down drops new two-tracker ‘THE DUN DUDDA’ / ’WIPE OUT’ this week via his new label Guidelines. Listen to ‘THE DUN DUDDA’ exclusively below. The alias of Greg Hepworth — formerly one half of drum & bass duo, Ulterior Motive — Settle Down focuses on the artist’s formative influences of hardcore and jungle. ‘THE DUN DUDDA’ is one of his rowdiest cuts to date, delivering splintered Amen choppage and a gargantuan warping bass, while flipside ‘WIPE OUT’ is equally heavy and hectic.
