Played by: Mike Hindle - Immersed Audio, Sounds Of Sumo

Review: Following up their last epic dancefloor bomb by label bosses Wool & Vortex, Sounds Of Sumo get deep down and utterly trippy with this extensive selection of bass bullets. Four original tracks, and six remixes, each cut is textured with all manner of fine-tuned noises, whooshes and rises. "Mami" leads from the front; a moombhaton inspired number with a speedy tempo and splintered vocal sample, it gets down to business quicker than you can say 'Lord Sugar'. "Postal" follows with a heavy Miami bass twang while "Lead Slipper" is a riveting take on both breakbeat and bashment. "You Seem" finishes the set with a far more subdued, future garage flavoured vibe. And that's all before we get to the remixes!

Review: Following his "All Werked Up" release on Well Rounded Individuals last year, Texan producer Wheez-ie cooks up an even more hardcore trip into '90s rave with "Remember The Score". Ghetto juke gets mixed with pitched-up rave pianos on the title tune, while "Fuck Yer Shit" rests on a slew of trancy and winding acid synths.

Played by: Mike Hindle - Immersed Audio

Review: As co-owner of the Disktopia label and associate of Starkey's esteemed Seclusiasis imprint, BD1982 has been impressing with his colourful brand of bass for a few years now, but this release for B.YRSLF Division is one of the producer's tightest efforts to date. Combining melodies with a particularly African flavour the EP recalls the more interesting end of the current UK bass/house zeitgeist with the kind of intricate yet hard-hitting drum patterns of Roska's productions. Standout tracks include "Iron Trees" with its eski melody and deep bass stabs, the frenetic footwork rhythms of "Zero Hours" and confrontational stomp of "This Much". The superb originals are rounded out with two remixes: Greeen Linez turns in a surprisingly funk driven rework of "Outside The Tunnel" and "Qoso" turns "Zero Hours" into a slowly percolating warehouse techno stormer.

from €1.20

Review: Teklife Vol 1 represents the first release for footwork trailblazer DJ Rashad's new Lit City Trax imprint, created in collaboration with DJ Spinn and associate J-Cush, and a label which promises to be the definitive label for Chicago's well established footwork scene. At a massive 20 tracks this album is a meaty proposition, and it's testament to Rashad's talent that the album is entirely free of filler. Showing the producer's talent for swelling low end and threadbare percussion, album highlights include his excellent DJ Spinn collaboration "We Trippy Mane" with nods to Juicy J, the analogue mayhem of "She Gonna Go", the manic 303 and 808 assault of "Da Life" and the juxtaposition of smooth Rhodes chords, horn samples and furious percussive rattle on "Kush Ain't Loud".

Review: A hero of garage, 2-step, French touch and about 40 other genres, New Jersey pioneer Todd Edwards' very-worthwhile revival continues with these three version of "Love Inside". With his trademark vocal-chops gloriously in place, the original works his ever-trusted formula of deep organ bass and tweaked stabs of vocals, while the "Sunshine" mix drastically rearranges the vocal chops and adds a greater jack to the hats and snares.

Review: Following his well-received Bump To Bump EP, garage and deep house don Jeremy Sylvester returns with the scorching and summery 2-step of "Nobody Like You". Mixing crunchy snares, thick sub bass and some pleasantly echoey and distant female vocals, this release on Sylvester's own Urban Dubz label also sees the fiery jack of "Want You Bad" and the piano gem "Summer Flower" also dropped for the first time.

Review: UKF, Garage and bass star Jook 10 continues to impress hugely with his atmospheric yet driving production - as demonstrated perfectly here on these four new tunes on Soulserious. Among the highlights, the merging of deep subs and crisp hats gives "Zante" some real bite, while "Vybezin" is an unadulterated, Roska-esque assault of kicks and congas.
