dbe Desktop Wallpaper: No.1 - Poster Camo

To be honest us dbe boys are mystified as to why we never did this before but here's a little treat for you guys. Whilst revision keeps you out of trouble on the streets, god knows what you get up to whilst sitting on your pc's. Hopefully this background will keep you distracted enough from opening up those naughty minimised windows and keep your heads firmly buried in your books! That's right, dbe not only helps you play hard, but work hard too! Keep your eyes out for more desktop wallpapers soon!

(To set this wallpaper, click on the image and it should open fully. Then if you use mac's right click and 'set as wallpaper'. If you use windows then right click, save the image, then right click on your desktop and go to 'properties', then set the image as your background)

Clever Monkey - Higher Movements

Original dub-boro rudeboy Matt Perrett has been working on yet more new material after his move back down south. After his first official Clever Monkey release 'Symbiosis' was released on Basspunch records a while back now, his follow up 'Higher Movements' is out now on the ever-growing Mutated Sounds imprint.

The EP covers his trademark heavier sound as exemplified in his early sets at the first few dub-boro's. From the relentless 'Bite the Hand That Feeds You' which sounds like Babylon System sparring with Benga, to the heavy grinding sound of 'Population Control', the EP certainly takes no prisoners! Our favourite at dbe though has to be 'The Redistribution'. Taking on a more 2-step production with added glossy synth sparkles, the track certainly brings to mind previous guest SBTRKT, but the whole EP manages a distinct flavour throughout.
