Amit At Juno Download

Review: Highly acclaimed by the heads and criminally underrated by the masses, Amit makes a bold statement of intent with the follow up to Never Ending (his '06 album) on Klute's Commerical Suicide imprint. Fusing a multitude of musical influences, this cinematic panorama of one of D&B's more interesting characters seamlessly blends genres and styles with vocal samples, poetry, interludes and textured atmospherics. From the opening "Lullaby" through the tough, gritty "Pripryat", the politically charged "Doomed Youth" and "Social Dilemma", the pumping techno-infused "Bloxit", the haunting melancholy of "My Own Way Home" and beyond, the tracks are layered, multifarious and deeply intriguing. Get to know.

Review: We last saw Amit in 2011 with his critically acclaimed 9 Times LP on Commercial Suicide, which brought together a unique blend of sounds and concepts and united them into one. Here he returns, this time on D Bridge's Exit Records, with a four-track EP which is equally stunning. "You Look Better Dead (featuring Rani)" is a melancholic piece with booming bass, rattling breaks and mournful lyrics. "Manic Minor" switches things up with frenetic SFX bleeping in the background, booming subs and barely there percussion. "Stay With Me" is all about the instrumental swells and "Kritical" gets dark and menacing as the EP draws to a close.

Review: British D&B producer Amit does it by halves on this latest full-length long player. With a huge fondness for half-step D&B beats, Amit keeps things intense, moody and grimey throughout this album, with beautiful chiming atmospherics working well with the resolutely non jump-up beats on tunes like "Immortal" or "Live In India". An album that succeeds in creating its own unique mood and feel, "Never Ending" is a fascinating step away from the D&B mainstream.
