Dubstep is on a full blown commercial flex nowadays. Hot on the heels of the success of Magnetic Man - I Need Air we have the next release vying for chart success from vocalist Katy B.

Katy is dropping a dubstep / crack house double on us with the release of her latest single Katy on a Mission.

Dubstep afro enthusiast Benga steps up to let Katy vocal what was his original underground hit Man on a Mission and I have to say it's hypnotically phat.

B-Side badness is supplied by DnB-cum-breakstep-cum-crack house reinventor DJ Zinc, who lays down the production on Louder.

These tunes have been doing the rounds for months now, but this release is such a banger that SnF wants to support it and say BUY THIS SINGLE ON MONDAY!

So Solid Crew return on to UK Dance music on this infectious beat produced by DJ Sponge. Mega, Skat D and MAC are joined by XO Man for this celebration of Ballin.

Following on from comeback single Since You Went Away this one's been battered by DJ Cameo over the summer and will be available to download from iTunes in September.

One half of the bass heavy duo Jellybass, DJ Chix teams up with Southampton based MC Resco, for his debut single release on Cut La Rocs Rocstar Recordings. The track is entitled 'Broken Melody' and fuses elements of dubstep, breakbeat & hiphop to produce a funky summer bassline smash.

The package also includes a comprehensive suite of remixes from Slick n Fresh favourite Caper, future garage don Wascal, breakbeat superstars Ben & Lex and the up and coming dubstep wonder Flip Disc.

Broken Melody is out now in all good digital stores including iTunes and Juno Download

UK Funky is a strange beast. Girls seem to love dancing to songs about them being abused. Happy days eh?

The next funky anthem telling you to dash a gash is Mr M - Dash Down, and this one even got our head bopping at SnF Towers.

Mr M is going one step further than other UKF soldiers such as Funkee Dee who has now asked 2 million people on YouTube "Are you gonna bang thou?"

M is about getting in and dashing down with no "wifey business". Who's asking? He's doing!

Crude you may say? So what. I test you not to bop your head to the video below.

Dash Down is on the BBC Radio 1Xtra B Playlist and is currently MistaJam's "Jam Hot Record of The Week."

Nubian Knightz are back with there second UK garage single Everyday.

Following on from their single from the end of last year Lovin', Everyday is a bassy thumper with soulful vocals from Jahilsoul.

Nubian Knights are working to ethos that you make "music you can feel rather than music you can place" and say their mantra is ‘It’s More Than Music, It’s Soul Stirring.’

Hopefully Everyday will get your rump shaking to the catchy bassline, and if that ain't your bag then maybe Atomic's 2-stepper mix or Rachel Ellektra's sunset electro mix might be up your street.

Everyday will be out in all good download stores from 20th August 2010.

DJ Elski has taken the crown title of "Hardest Working Man In UK Garage".

Now known as the man pushing the new music the hardest, Elski is still putting his name out there regularly. Quite frankly we don't know how he finds the time to do radio shows on legal radio for Westside FM, push his 4 2 The Floor club nights and produce new music either solo or with scene new kid 8th Note.

Elski landed us a mix last month. Yes we're slack. Yes we should have got it up sooner. And yes, it's heavy.

Find music from Sunship, Control-S, MJ Cole, The Wideboys, Solution, Club Asylum, Duncan Powell and more.
