New website

It's been a long time coming, but 2010 sees the launch of the all new Tempa.co.uk.

We've been working on things behind the scenes for quite a while now, as we really wanted to build a better, stronger, faster site for you all.

Our News setion will be updated with goings on in and around the world of Tempa.

We've got a fully updated Releases section, where you can search the back catalogue, listen to all the tunes and of course buy the stuff.

Our Artist section has biographies of all of Tempa's exclusive artists. And we've got a brand new Press Section for all the PR crew out there.

And we're planning to expand our soecial Roots and Culture section in the coming months - to give you a bit of history on our influences and origins...

We've also got a brand new Soundcloud profile - where you can send us your demos.

Come in and take a look around... hope you like it.


 

Tempa048 – Cosmin TRG "Now You Know"

Next up on Tempa (Tempa.048) is Cosmin TRG's debut double pack EP for the label, entitled "Now You Know".

The vinyl features prominently Cosmin's shift in production style, which now has more in common with strands of house than traditional dubstep. Audio samples soon come on the Releases page.

The EP also contains two digital only tracks. The first, "Tribal Flex", which will be available exclusively on Beatport from the 8th February and the second, and title track, "Now You Know" which we're making available free to download.

Dubstep Allstars Vol.07

For the 7th installment of the Dubstep Allstars series we drafted in Chef & Ramadanman to provide a snapshot of dubstep in 2009.

Chef, much lauded for his main room DJ sets, employs a more show and tell technique for this mix. Released from the obligations of moving a peak-time crowd, Chef affords each riddim good time to be absorbed. Rapid fire mixes are replaced with subtle mixer effects and 1 bar loops. In some cases tracks are simply cut out to make way for the next.
