Subplates, Volume 4

Suburban Base’s fourth Subplates compilation captures the label’s foundational role in drum n bass and jungle during the mid-90s, gathering key architects of the sound at a moment when breakbeat science was still being codified. The vinyl format preserves the crisp breakbeats and sub-bass weight that defined the imprint’s aesthetic, from the harder jungle cuts to the more mechanized drum n bass experiments that would splinter into countless subgenres.
