Over the past number of years drum and bass, while maintaining a tight core of followers, took backseat to various other sub-genres of electronica. Many key players on the D&B circuit began making more rave and chart friendly songs, grappling for a spot in the magical wonderland of “EDM”, leaving many fans scratching their heads in confusion. Perhaps this is why Jubei’s anticipated album “To Have & Have Not” became more of a critical release for 2013.

Jubei’s “To Have & Have Not” is an uncompromising, bass binging beat down of dark, rolling drum and bass, and gritty dubstep. Consisting of 14 tracks, features include Goldie, Flowdan, DRS, Youngsta and an impressive list of other shakers in the scene. Dark, raw and to the core, “To Have & Have Not” is a deliverance to drum and bass fans who have yearned for material with integrity.

Jubei’s “To Have & Have Not” is out now on the Metalheadz label.
