De Niro At Juno Download

Review: De Niro offers up another serving of delicious dubstep flavours on No Mad, which are dominated by gratuitously grizzled synths, eerie melodies, wobbly basslines and a pervasive sense of unease. First up in this two-track release is the title track "The Aggressors" which is all Caspa-style grating mid range and ominous House of Horrors style SFX before it develops into the main bass-driven part with booming subs and quirky synth flourishes. "Metro2" blends clapping, smacking snares with sweeping atmospherics in the intro and then some gritty moments as the track progresses. Expect the unexpected here!

Review: Slow paced, swaggering dubstep of the highest order here from De Niro & Y in "Dogday", a low slung, weighty slice of ominous bass music thuggery. Squelchy subs bubble through the bassline like pools of stagnant oil, whilst grinding synth lines provide further texture. In "Back To M101" the rippling, trance-influenced synthline sets the tone for a wobbly little number. "Kinsky", up next, is a more experimental number with quirky SFX, whilst "Radio Beam" is back to the sci-fi sonics and whomping b-line pressure. Bass monkeys will love this.
