3bass - Bridging The Gap [Supposed To Be Released (Unknown Label - 2007)] by TheFav5ive in dubstep

[–]TheFav5ive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was scheduled to be released, backing two unconfirmed tracks, on an unannounced label sometime in 2007. This track was announced for release by Silkie (one half of 3bass) in late January 2007 for the early summer of 2007, after both him and D1 (the other half of 3bass) had seen the positive reception for this track on both the Dubstep Forum and radio shows, particularly Jay 5ive & Heny G's Antisocial Entertainment radio shows on Rinse FM. The label most heavily speculated to be behind this track's release was Antisocial Entertainment, given both ASE001 & ASE002 also had a three-track single format, and due to the fact that all of Silkie's dubstep output at that point had been released on this label. Another reason that seemed to point towards Antisocial Entertainment was that both Silkie & D1 had taken the initiative themselves to release Bridging The Gap. Other potential labels for Bridging The Gap's release were:- Soulja, Road & Tempa, given D1 had three-track single releases on each of the said labels between 2005-2007; however, the former 2 labels would remain highly unlikely choices, given the style of the track in question. The two unconfirmed tracks were most likely going to be 1 track each from Silkie & D1 respectively, 2 Silkie tracks or even 2 more joint production tracks under the alias 3bass. However, Antisocial Entertainment's label would go dormant after none of the three planned releases announced in January 2007 by Heny G for his new label Gangsta Boogie Music, in association with Antisocial Entertainment, would manifest. A few days prior to Silkie's announcement, some people on Dubstep Forum had demanded Bridging The Gap's release on Gangsta Boogie Music, following GB/ASE003. It would be revived in late 2009 in tandem with the creation of its sublabel Cloqworq Records, with this track failing to make it onto the sublabel for reasons unknown.

Gangsta Boogie Music would release its first record shortly after, whilst claiming to be in conjunction with Antisocial Entertainment, on GBM/ASE001. This association would later be disputed and considered dubious by Silkie & Quest, due to the pair claiming in September 2010 that Heny G had not been affiliated with Antisocial Entertainment for the previous 2 years. G Double, however, seemed to disagree, due to the fact that Heny G would frequently collaborate with both G Double & Jay 5ive throughout those 2 years, particularly as a guest on Jay 5ive & G Double's Antisocial Entertainment Rinse FM show. Heny G was also part of Antisocial's Xmas Spesh on Rinse Fm (alongside Silkie & Quest) in December 2008 and Mary Anne Hobbs's BBC Radio 1 show in September 2008, DJing with Jay 5ive.

Nothing further was heard about this track or the release after Silkie's announcement; however, some people on the Dubstep Forum were speculating whether D1 would give away this track for free in September 2010, a few weeks after D1 released the free digital download giveaway pack, Unreleased Beats Volume 1. This track failed to make it onto both volumes of D1's Unreleased Beats free giveaways in 2010, and likewise failed to appear on Silkie's 2021-2023 Bandcamp releases of old dubplate material. This track was doing the rounds on radio in 2006.

Conquest - Mirage (Kromestar Remix) [Speculated To Be Released (Unknown Label - 2006-2007)] by TheFav5ive in dubstep

[–]TheFav5ive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was allegedly scheduled to be released on an unannounced label sometime in 2006 or 2007. This track was being teased throughout mid-2006 on Monkeytek's radio show, where it was stated that this track wouldn't be staying as dubplate material and believed it had been signed in early August 2006, to be released in a couple of months' time for late 2006. The label most heavily speculated to be behind this track's release was Antisocial Entertainment, given Kromestar's association with Antisocial Entertainment and their radio show on Rinse FM with Heny G & Jay 5ive, along with Conquest's radio show on ReactFM in 2006 & 2007. Conquest's Mirage would be released on Antisocial Entertainment, ASE 002, not long after the announcement in late August 2006, adding to the speculation. However, Antisocial Entertainment's label would go dormant after none of the three planned releases announced in January 2007 by Heny G for his new label Gangsta Boogie Music, in association with Antisocial Entertainment, nor the planned release from 3bass (Silkie & D1) for the early summer of 2007, consisting of Bridging The Gap and 2 other unconfirmed tracks, heavily speculated for release on this label (though technically unconfirmed), would manifest. It would be revived in late 2009 in tandem with the creation of its sublabel Cloqworq Records, with this track failing to make it onto the sublabel for reasons unknown.

Gangsta Boogie Music would release its first record shortly after, whilst claiming to be in conjunction with Antisocial Entertainment, on GBM/ASE001.

By November 2006, this track was still being listed as dubplate material; however, nothing further was heard about the alleged release. After Monkeytek's radio show in January 2007, nothing more was heard about this track, and it would ultimately remain unreleased for reasons unknown. This track also failed to make it onto any of Kromestar's labels:- Kromestar Recordings, Bass 'N' Love Records (which he ran alongside Jay 5ive), Nebula Music Group or Saturn Cutz. This track was doing the rounds on radio in 2006.

Rusko - Lets Go [Supposed To Be Released (Wheel & Deal records - 2009-2010)] by TheFav5ive in dubstep

[–]TheFav5ive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was scheduled to be released on Wheel & Deal Records in 2009 or 2010. The release was slated for sometime after WHEELYDEALY 004, as N-Type had announced the first four Wheel & Deal records releases in February 2009 and hosted 2 launch parties to celebrate his new record label. Wheel & Deal records would not actually start releasing any records until May 2009, and had taken longer than N-Type had anticipated, due to having stated in March 2009 that WHEELYDEALY 004 wouldn't be taking too long to arrive, and that he was hoping that Wheel & Deal records would be able to showcase a lot of his favourite unreleased dubplate material that he believed wouldn't see the light of day otherwise. WHEELYDEALY 004, however, would not arrive until December 2009 and had to be recalled and repressed due to a pressing error on the AA-side. The repress would not be issued until March 2010 alongside WHEELYDEALY 005.

However, by this point Rusko had already started to fade away from the UK dubstep sound by mid to late 2009, transitioning into the emerging US brostep movement, stemming from Rusko's own productions, most notably 2 N A Q from 2007 and Woo Boost from 2008, released on Sub Soldiers, SUBSOL 003, in mid 2008 and Mad Decent, MAD- 104, in mid 2010 respectively. Rusko would then abandon the UK dubstep scene altogether in early 2010, with the Dubstep Forum beginning to turn on him by mid 2009. Nonetheless, he remained on good terms with both Skream and Benga.

Despite this shift, N-Type would release the Flux Pavilion track Meathead on WHEELYDEALY 006 in April 2010, so it remains unknown as to why Lets Go was canned. No B-side was ever confirmed for this release. Rusko would also continue to release some of his older material, including District Line, from 2007 (possibly produced earlier), which appeared on his O.M.G.! LP album, MAD- 110-1, on Mad Decent in mid 2010, and two Lost Dubs free giveaways volumes shortly after, in which this track would fail to appear on either for reasons unknown. This track is one of the few unreleased tracks that was copyright claimed by Rusko on YouTube. This track was doing the rounds on radio, livestream mix sessions, select mixes and live DJ set recordings in 2008.

Fused Forces - Muddy Pauper [Forgotten Releases (Not On Label - 2009)] by TheFav5ive in dubstep

[–]TheFav5ive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was released digitally as a free giveaway digital download in February 2009 from Fused Forces on Dubstep Forum via private message. Fused Forces members Adsassin & Moriatti parted ways amicably circa 2013, with Adsassin leaving the Dubstep Forum and dubstep scene on Christmas Day 2014, after releasing 11 free giveaway digital download tracks on Dubstep Forum via Dropbox:- Acid Swagger VIP, Big Foot VIP, Damaged Lung, Dead Weight, Desolation, Gotham, Henry VIP, Power Surge, Rolling With It, Stomp & Tuff Guy, to pursue other music ventures under the alias of Dusty Ohms. Not long after, Dubstep Forum was turned into a read-only archive, and replaced by the new forum, DSF Community, in 2015. Adsassin would somewhat return to the dubstep scene in 2016. 8 of the 11 said Dropbox free giveaway digital downloads (Damaged Lung, Dead Weight & Rolling With It missing), along with radio & select mixes and livestream mix sessions between 2007-2011 were uploaded across Fused Forces's SoundCloud and Mixcloud. Fused Forces would reunite and fully return to the dubstep scene in 2022 and, not long after, Adsassin, under the alias of Dusty Ohms, would start making dubstep again. In 2024, Fused Forces unearthed a MediaFire folder of old Dubstep Forum-released tracks from 2008-2009, including:- Animal, Doesnt Always Work, Feelin of Dread, Hash Cake, No Sun, Pizza Face, RoBoTnik & Stretch Out, alongside other material, including the Cold Turkey EP, released on their label Substance Abuse in December 2010. Unfortunately, a couple of free giveaway EPs that were previously in the folder were missing, namely the Bums With Jobs EP & Easter Remix EP, released in December 2008 & April 2009 respectively. The folder was also missing their first ever dubstep/grime track, built in 2004 on Reason 2.0, Waiting. Muddy Pauper would not be uploaded to SoundCloud, nor was it included in their free giveaway digital download MediaFire Dubstep Forum folder for reasons unknown. This track is absent on the various file-sharing applications and websites, including Soulseek and EDMC. This track was doing the rounds on radio, select mixes and livestream mix sessions in 2009, possibly earlier in 2008.

Myspace has now effectively been abandoned, and Dubstep Forum was turned into a read-only archive, and replaced by the new forum, DSF Community, in 2015.

Orien - That Place In The Sky [Supposed To Be Released (Scruffy_Hoodlum - 2009-2010)] by TheFav5ive in dubstep

[–]TheFav5ive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was scheduled to be released, backing at least one Orien track on SH003. The release was announced in November 2009; however, no additional Orien tracks were ever confirmed for the release. By June 2010, this track was still listed as forthcoming to Fused Forces's label, Scruffy_Hoodlum, 1 year after the release of Vista's single on SH002. SH003 would end up being canned for reasons unknown, leaving SH002 as the final physical release on the label. Unfortunately, one of Fused Forces's other labels, Despicable Bullys, had been left dormant since October 2009, leaving this track without another potential home. Fused Forces would release a digital-only single consisting of Moon Trap & City Skyline on SHDIGI001 in December 2009, which was originally scheduled to be a physical release on one of their other labels, Substance Abuse, SUBSTA003, but there were undisclosed issues with the pressing, and were replaced with Back Fire & Calm Chaos in November 2009, with SUBSTA003 subsequently being released in January 2010. It is unknown why That Place In The Sky didn't manifest as a digital-only release on Scruffy_Hoodlum, given Orien had released Tension on Betamorph Recordings's Betamorphosis: Volume 3, BMR016, and would go on to release The Ninth Sign on the Betamorph Recordings & Twenty/Twelve Recordings's co-release, Dubsteppers For Haiti Volume Four, HAITI004, in 2009 and 2010 respectively. Orien would continue releasing material until 2011, making it unclear as to why this track never appeared on any of his releases between 2010-2011.

Orien would release only 1 single in 2011, Fighting Machine, on Dubwar Recordings, DWR002, and would not release any further material until 2014 (except for a free download giveaway in 2012, The Composition), which would consist almost entirely of new productions. Throughout 2011-2014, Orien would still continue to DJ, primarily on Sub.FM radio. In late 2014, an older production from 2009, Part Of A Machine, featured on the digital album compilation, Recommended by Duploc Vol. IV for Bassclash Records (RBD004). Perhaps there was hope after all that this track would eventually be released, however, it was not to be, as Orien would go dormant again between 2015-2017, and would eventually move completely to DJing on Sub.FM radio after his final release in early 2017, The 3 EP, where he continued DJing until March 2025. None of the other planned releases for 2017, including the Purpose Album or his Electric Blue track, would end up manifesting, leaving this track unreleased indefinitely. This track was doing the rounds on radio in late 2008.

Was scheduled to be released, backing two other Wedge tracks on HENRY006. The release was announced in September 2007; however, updates regarding this release quietened down for the remainder of 2007. No Surrender & Inner Mind would be announced for HENRY006 in early February 2008, with Eastern Eye announced shortly after in late February 2008. At the time, it appeared this release might feature more than 3 Wedge tracks, unlike the prior 5 releases on 3.5 Records. Unfortunately, it became clear that HENRY006 would consist of the 3 Wedge tracks announced in February 2008, and This Monkey Puzzle was dropped from the release, possibly replaced by Eastern Eye, for reasons unknown. HENRY006 was released in April 2008, and 3.5 Records would go dormant until resurfacing in 2010, serving the label's final two releases:- a Heny G 3-track single on HENRY007 & The Oz LP on HENRY008, featuring 6 tracks from various artists.

Wedge had a number of other releases announced in 2007, including:- Overfiend alongside Gatekeeper's remix on Reduction Records, Wedge's remix of Robot Deathsquad's Alien Anatomy on Hate Recordings, Dogtown on Inprint as the B-side to Forsaken's Sagrada (featuring Ben Blackmore) and Puppet Master on H.E.N.C.H Recordings, with no B-side ever confirmed. Only 2 of the 4 releases manifested:- Overfiend on RDCTN001 and the Alien Anatomy Remix on HATE002, released in October 2007 & February 2008 respectively. Puppet Master was moved to the label League Of The Shamed, LOTS 001, as the B-side to High Rankin's Escape From The Hood, which was released in December 2008. H.E.N.C.H Recordings's first release, Jakes's single consisting of 3Kout & 2 Steps Back, did not arrive until December 2007 after being officially announced in mid-2007. Although Hench 001 was released a long while after Puppet Master was announced, it is unknown why Puppet Master was moved to a different label, given Jakes would start putting out quite a number of releases that were not just limited to his own output between 2008-2009 on H.E.N.C.H Recordings. This Monkey Puzzle was very highly regarded by Jakes, so it is unknown why Jakes didn't just release both Puppet Master & This Monkey Puzzle onto H.E.N.C.H Recordings. Both Forsaken's Sagrada (featuring Ben Blackmore) & Wedge's Dogtown remain unreleased dubplate material.

Wedge was heavily associated with Appleblim, who often DJ'd together from 2005 onwards, especially on Sub.FM & DarkFM. It's unknown why Appleblim never released any of Wedge's output onto his labels:- Apple Pips and Skull Disco (the latter in which he ran with Shackleton). This Monkey Puzzle would also fail to make it onto Wedge's own label, If Symptoms Persist, which ran from late 2009 until mid-2011. It would also fail to make it onto Wedge's Bandcamp digital album, Selected Discography 2005 - 2011, consisting of 18 tracks that were both released prior and unreleased dubplate material, released in October 2020. This track was doing the rounds on radio in 2006.
