Noah D At Juno Download

Review: Reggae drenched jungle vibes here from Navigator and Noah D on the Lion Dub imprint. "Inequity Worker" kicks off with an evocative Jamaican style vocal spitting politicized lyrics in an urban, stripped back context, though the rattling breaks and a modern day bass boom bring it firmly into the present. There's a big nod to the rave in the remix version with rallying cries "Yo, junglists!" and "Junglist massive" and smashing drum kicks which will ensure D&B fans stand up, salute and skank out all night. The riddim retains a more heads down, hoods up potency, with the beats left to breathe alone. Big.

Review: Remember the old playground taunts from the haters about our music being "car alarm" music? Oh how we'd love to rub those smelly bullies faces in it... It's actually fire alarms! Well, according to Noah D it is. And what beautiful, sonorous fire alarms they are too. Elsewhere we get tubular on "Limitless", we get our sexy on with "Seductive" and we finish proceedings by getting our stomp on to the trapalicious "Nuthin2it". Raise the alarm!

Review: Watch out as Noah D's big anthem gets unleashed on Dutch label Subway. Having made something of a household name for himself in the dubstep fraternity in recent years, the man otherwise known as Noah Dickinson puts on his straightest face for "Seeeriousss VIP" and gets down to business. A Jamaican accented, dread style, distorted, super slowed down vocal sample sweeps across a purple wow style synth haze that would make Joker and Gemmy quiver a little, whispering "this is serious music…serioussss" over the beats. Lurching, nocturnal breaks predominate with a ganja hazed half step rhythms and chirping SFX making this a sure fire winner for the synth hungry dubstep brigade.

Review: US dubstep peddler and producer of D&B, Noah D, provides us with a tough, techy A-Side to the third volume of the Adversary series. Thunderous subs, furiously clashing breaks and eerie, vengeful vocal sampling rule throughout "Control Freak" to awe-inspiring, eardrum-battering effect. Showing close affiliation to fellow US-based dark D&B-sters Dylan and Robyn Chaos, with a smattering of the Renegade Hardware sound in there as well, it's a winner for fans of the tougher, rougher part of late 90s D&B. The relentlessly aggressive sound is continued by Djunya & Neglect on the flip; "Nomad" encompasses swirling sci-fi synths and a thumping beat to get the mutilating forces to work.

Review: Just in case some of you still think America is still all about the screaming 'bro' vibes when it comes to dubstep, the Brooklyn-based Tuba provide a lesson in how things are done on the US bass underground. The delightfully unpredictable Roommate gets gritty and sleazy on the title track, adding a little Bay Area bass technique to the mechanical groove. Noah D, meanwhile, adds more of a Detroit sensibility to his "Succes", creating a techno-like serenity to proceedings. Not a screaming 'bro' in sight. Get dirty!
