Download: Tokyo Prose in the mix for Mixmag

Tokyo Prose is the London-based, New Zealand-born drum 'n' bass producer who sits on the soulful side of the genre.

Alongside current luminary Lenzman, he makes slick, liquid d'n'b that'll make your feet move and transport your mind to another place. This is in full effect on his forthcoming album 'Presence', out via esteemed imprint Samurai Music and also featuring the likes of Lenzman, Synkro, LSB, DRS, Riya and Fox.

A dope LP for anyone into deep electronic music, 'Presence' is a journey through rolling d'n'b charged with emotion.

Download: Joe Ford Exclusive Mix

Friction's Shogun Audio label has had a spectacular 2013 with releases coming from Alix Perez, Rockwell, Spectrasoul and Artificial Intelligence to name a few.

As well as hosting nights in London and Brighton this year, they added to their already impeccable list of artists, snapping up young Harrogate-based producer Joe Ford to join their team.

With previous material on Bad Taste and Hospital Records offshoot Med School, he's found himself garnering well-deserved attention within the drum 'n' bass world and his affiliation with Shogun will no doubt see his unique, forward-thinking bass productions progress even further.

His track 'Stride' is on Shogun's 'Way Of The Warrior 2' compilation while 'Instrument' will appear on 'Shogun Audio Presents: 2013' and the youngster has now turned in an exclusive mix for Mixmag.

Mixmag Mix Of The Week: Compa

With dubstep producing truly exciting moments with less frequency these days, Compa is someone you can look to for remarkable flashes of low-end inspiration. The Lancashire DJ/producer has developed a rolling, highly-percussive style that's all his own, with riddims coming wrapped in dusty crackle, shot through with jolts of electricity and underlined by subtle, subby tremors. He strikes the perfect balance between classic, meditative dubstep and the genre's more recent dungeon offshoot, which is eerie and unsettling.

Following 12" cuts via his own WXWL label as well as Boka and Kokeshi, he's been newly signed to Mala's Deep Medi imprint, perhaps the most revered seal of approval in true-skool dubstep circles.

It's testament to Compa's creativity that his Mix Of The Week comes packed with his own productions, many unreleased. There's a real sense of style and purpose as well as the feeling that he's got dubs for days. New tunes like 'Exist' and 'Bullets' slide into collaborations with Widowmaker and Ipman as well as cheeky, dancefloor-ready bootlegs of Faithless and Kanye and remixes of Digital Mystikz and Congo Natty. It says something that when we had to postpone releasing the mix for a week, Compa remade the recording with fresh dubplates he'd just got cut. The 21 year old is definitely on a mission to prove there's still fresh ideas to be mined from dubstep...
