The topography of UK dance music has been mutating at a fascinatingly frenzied rate, and while we'll never stop carrying a torch for UK funky, the constant blitz of new sounds keeps us feeling really fucking good about what's coming up next. Plus, according to a recent report, music sales are real rosy too--dance music's market share in the UK is at its highest since 2006. Jolly good!To celebrate their fifth birthday, the London-based Bullet Train Records are giving away their Allstars Volume II compilation here on THUMP. Label boss Marco del Horno launched his indie label with aim of never signing records "that sounded like they were made 10 to 15 years ago," so if you're looking to take the pulse of the UK underground, look no further. The 12-track compilation assembles the label's latest signings, including Radio 1 favorites Taiki & Nulight, Claude Von Stroke protégés Cause & Effect, and Mad Decent's Linden Jay, with UK garage ace Ed Case and del Horno himself rounding out the lineup. Happy birthday, boys!Michelle thinks Pippa Middleton's Vanity Fair column is also jolly good - @MichelleLHOOQ
