  • To mark its 50th release, UK label Ramp Recordings has put together a retrospective compilation that's due out next month. Described by RA's Jordan Rothlein as a "hotbed of low-end weirdness," Ramp has spent the past six years charting the outer regions of bass music—juke, post-dubstep, experimental hip-hop, and so on, though titles like these rarely do the records justice. The label has highlighted square peg artists like SBTRKT, FaltyDL, Dro Carey and Zomby, who released some of his early singles through the main imprint and Brainmath, one of its three subsidiaries (which has a collection of its own coming up). The upcoming compilation looks back on Ramp's catalog so far, with 17 of the tracks that have made it a label of note today. Tracklist 01. Zomby - Strange Fruit 02. Pattie Blingh & The Akebulan - Five Brother: The Point (2562 Remix) 03. Clouds - Timekeeper (Ras G Remix) 04. Computer Jay - Distance 05. FaltyDL - To London 06. Shortstuff - A Rustling 07. Maxmillion Dunbar - Bare Feet 08. Desto - Disappearing Reappearing Ink 09. SBTRKT & Sampha - Evening Glow 10. Doc Daneeka - Hold On 11. Hypno - Go Shorty 12. Bad Autopsy - Callback 13. FaltyDL - Hip Love (Jamie xx Remix) 14. NOCHEXXX - Charro 15. Dro Carey - Motorvibe 16. Stay+ - Fever 17. Cupp Cave - White Out Ramp Recording will release Ramp 50 on March 26th, 2012.
