Boxed make the leap from club night movement to record label in typically upfront style. Slackk & Dullah Beatz are first to bring the heat with the gritty mystique of Boxed favourite 'Forest Walk', while newcomer Lloyd SB turns it up another notch with the unmistakable club bang of 'X Out', one of the hardest tunes of the year in our book. Trends' devilish, low-end edit of Geeneus classic 'Old Skool 2' adds more weight, before Spokes cleanses the ears with the gorgeous, washed-out heartbreak of 'Tragedy In The Jasmine Garden'.
