Description:

Originally released in 2002, Artwork – Red E.P returns via Big Apple Records as a highly anticipated repress of a true underground classic. A forward-thinking fusion of UK Garage, techno and early dubstep textures, this release captures a pivotal moment in UK dance music history — often cited as a proto-dubstep vinyl blueprint before the genre had even fully formed.

Crafted by Artwork (also known for his Grain project), Red E.P bridges raw 2-step swing with deeper, experimental rhythms. The iconic title track 'Red' became a cult anthem, championed heavily by Bugz In The Attic, who featured it on their influential FabricLive mix in 2003 — pushing demand sky high and cementing its legendary status across multiple scenes including broken beat and bruk.

This long-overdue repress not only revives a rare and sought-after UK garage vinyl release (with original copies fetching up to £100), but also includes the previously unreleased DAT gem 'Relic' — a punchy, percussive cut that adds fresh energy to an already essential record. Alongside 'Rank', this edition stands as the definitive version of Red E.P, pressed on striking limited edition red vinyl.

With radio support from Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio 6) and Jamz Supernova (BBC Radio 6), this release is once again set to dominate dancefloors and airwaves. A must-have for DJs and collectors into dubstep vinyl, UKG records and foundational Big Apple Records catalogue pieces.

Perfect for fans of dubstep vinyl, UK garage records, broken beat and essential UK underground music history.

Tracklist:

A1 - RED
