5 years ago this month Ground Level was born with the vinyl release of Serious Wobble by Stylus Rex. 60 months down the line the Ground Level has evolved into a label covering a whole range of music with a broken beat and an underground feel. Rather than do the usual 'best of' style compilation to celebrate the occasion we're presenting a package of 12 brand new tracks and remixes, the first album sampler of which you have here...

Submo lives up to his name on his remix of Rebel Sketchy's last single 'I Need You', with a huge array of bottom end. Combine this with massive builds and broken tribal rhythms this track is a bass music monster!

Fisso & Spark dropped their first EP on Ground Level earlier this year, with Radio One Support from Annie Nightingale, Freefall charted high in the Beatport breaks charts, then remained in the charts for 8 weeks! For this compilation they bring us Nasty Sound, a darkly melodic peaktime track with a cinematic edge. This track is taken from Fisso & Spark's debut album which is dropping on Ground Level in the winter.

Bezwun is better known as being one half of Beatsmack but is quickly carving a reputation for his solo work. This track rolls from breakbeat to ghetto funk and back with the mother of all filthy basslines and a huge dollop of funk.

Joe C, who you'll be getting to know now from his last two awesome release on Ground Level, weighs in with Sound Off. With his trademark sound combing old and new elements and styles of the broken beat and bringing it bang up to date with some funky bass heavy vibes.
