Dylan Rhymes At Juno Download

Review: UK tech-breaks veteran Dylan Rhymes' "Sex Shun" is given three thrilling, rave-friendly interpretations. First up are Matt Williams & Nick Jenkins, whose tumbling beats and clattering, stuttering rhythms are fuelled by bursts of energy, evil rave stabs and the kind of euphoria-inducing breakdown that is geared for peak time. The Don't Blink version is darker and more slamming, with a screeching vocal sucked backwards through the arrangement and almost colliding with the oncoming splintered metallic riffs. Finally, the Yreane remix is probably the most understated, although nothing on this release leaves much to the imagination - in this instance, it's a rumbling bassline building over an aggressive, stop-start rhythm.

Review: Here's a little fact for you - this is Dylan's message to anyone who sees him out in public. Don't just nod your head or give a little salute - wave your hand and wave it high! Here's another little fact for you - this is outrageously banging! Punching, kicking and screaming with a full bodied bass riff, bone-crushing beats and grizzling fills, it's pretty hard to imagine an uglier piece of tech funk. Naturally there's a lovely drop to help your dancefloor get their breath back. But, like all of Dylan's mightiest club smashers, it really doesn't last for long. Heavyweight with a capital H.
