Review:
A well considered triplet of tracks here from long time industry heads Artificial Intelligence, the "Mind Control EP" is well worth a listen, regardless of what flavour of D&B you subscribe to. Kicking off with the dancefloor-damaging title track, it's all about the pounding drums, exuberant builds and grueling bass here. Next up, it's the Marky & SPY remix of "Let It Be", in all its blissed out Brazilian fusion with lilting breaks and mellifluous melodies. The EP closes with a collaboration with Command Strange "Won't Say Goodbye" which features the sweet syrupy tones of MC Tali.

Review:
The Kazakhstani liquid funk king, Command Strange, steps up for the 19th release on Integral for a couple of sterling bassline rollers that will light up dancefloors across Europe and beyond. First up "Bingo" pairs ticking breaks with disarming chirrups with a punchy, growling b-line. A slick breakdown adds some atmospheric magic to the proceedings before the rolling riddim returns. Accompanying this, "Mr Lonely" adds some melodic mystique with sweeping SFX and yearning, pattering drums that have a touch of High Contrast circa "Tough Guys Don't Dance" about them. A lovely release for the liquid man dem.

Review:
With a string of releases for the likes of Integral, Fokuz and Liquid Brilliants already under his belt, Kazakhstan based producer Command Strange steps up on Grid and delivers the goods. This is no throwaway wobble for the kids, "Drunk On Beauty" is a serious bassline rumbler with Full Cycle pretensions, a sharp stepper for the 2012 generation. Flipside "On The Way" is a shade nastier in its execution, with a nagging bass pattern and spaced out fx, the sort of lick Roni Size used to knock out for fun. A bright future awaits.

Review:
Command Strange brings us the epic Episode 91 on Fokuz. A nine-track album of pure quality, this one kicks off with the sumptuous "Miracles" - a heavy, purring bassline underpins crisp, crunching drums and a trance-like synthline. He gets experimental and deep in cuts like "Sweet Nightmare" and the ethereal counterpart "Dreams". Tracks like "Song For You" are exercises in unrestrained yearning, with delicate beats, repressed vocal and a sense of pained beauty. Liquid loveliness comes courtesy of "Days Are Cold" and concluding, piano-chiming finale "Give It To Me". Utterly sublime from start to finish.

Review:
With his recent "Bingo" release on Integral still ripping up dancefloors with its catchy, infectious nature, Kazakhstan's favourite D&B son Command Strange keeps up appearances with this excellent release. As a precursor to Fokuz Recordings' forthcoming Episode 91 LP, lead track "True Love" perfectly encapsulates the label's sound and vision, a mesmerising slice of future soul music. Flipside "Carnival" flips the script with a growling bassline and menacing FX. Don't sleep on this.

Review:
Command Strange's next release comes to us via the Fokuz imprint with two solid tracks plus a further two digital exclusives - you just can't say no to this! First up is the title track "Rock Steady" with its raw, metallic sounds, pattering drums and quirky SFX. Next is "Open Your Eyes" which is underpinned by booming bass and dominated by chiming beats and echoing snippets of female vocal. "Sugar", the first of the two digital exclusives, is a deep and meditative cut with swirling synth work, whilst "All That Heaven Allows" is all choral elements with booming atmospheric sweeps.

Review:
Hailing from the furthest reaches of Khazakstan, Command Strange provides us with part one of the 45th release on Fokuz. "Pushed" is a super slick stepper with light percussion, tremulous bassline and delicate murmuring vox, executed with a military precision that pushes it along for the duration. Heavy1 takes over for the next cut, bringing in MC Flava for vocal duties in "Surprise". Here, it's all about the atmospheric builds and tripping breaks, punctuated by furtive Kemo-esque lyrics and warping bassline. Fans of Survival, Lynx and the Critical camp stand up.
