Underfire is a label that has certainly been doing some damage of late and
after releasing the massive 'Blazin' a couple of years back they are ready
to unleash the next episode, cue 'Clockwork'.

with many collaborations to boot. In the shops 30th April on 5 piece vinyl
and CD you will be treated to such gems as 'Decoy', 'Bios-Fear' feat Kemal &
Rob Data, 'Isolation' feat Keaton (Usual Suspects), 'Clockwork', 'Straight
Jacket' feat DJ Skinny, 'Timelines', 'Altitude' feat DJ Friction, 'Spider
Monkey' feat Shimon. You will also be blessed with their mixes of
Morcheeba's 'The Sea' plus Afrika Bambaataa's 'Planet Rock'. The double pack
sampler for this album is in the shops now with work from Teebee, DJ Red,
Kemal & Rob Data and of course the boys themselves.
For those that know, you know what to do. For those that don't, for gods
sake donąt sleep on this one.
