Review:
When 123MRK's Noname EP dropped in 2011 creating waves all around the dubstep and bass music scene. Moulding the sound of his generation into a style all his own, the Frenchman suddenly found himself held aloft as an innovator as well as simply a producer of sounds. This remixed release of his seminal EP was a lofty undertaking and the finished item features remixes from some of the future dubstep scene's brightest young stars alongside long-time innovators. From Liar's metalic, lo-fi flavours to Troy Gunner's understated clicks and swirls; ViLLAGE's heart-pounding house remodelling to Heblank's old-school twist, even the likes of Pixelord and ReSketch play their garage-influenced hands to create an all-new modern-day canvas of what exactly bass music is right at this moment. It can never be truly defined, but this is a pretty good encyclopedia.

Review:
ASC's influential traces and sonic lingers loom large amid bass circles. Peddling both the minimal D&B and Autonomic sounds before they were even coined, his depth and abstract clarity lead very much from the front. Examples of this abound across the originals, from the skittish triplet breakbeats of "Karma" to the all-encompassing bass drone of the title track. And the remixes from Chrissy Murderbot, Kangding Ray and Mike Slott aren't far from shabby either. Seldom does an EP live up to its title so literally.

Review:
While the cover artwork may make Benton look like a moody former member of an R&B boy band, the music contained on Reflections is as robustly underground as you'd expect. Moving from Burial-ish paranoid atmospherics to deep dubstep-soul via a series of sparse, moody and emotion-rich soundscapes, it portrays the London-based producer as a man for whom the simple pleasures of form and function are just not enough. Along the way, there are growling, murky floorfillers (check the hissing "Herman's Hideout" and "Defect Mind"), dubwise steppers ("20/20 VIP") and occasional blasts of piano-laden beauty (the intricate "We're Both Lost").

Review:
Doctor P and Flux Pavilion hand over the selection duties to familiar label faces Funtcase and Cookie Monsta for the second Circus set. A 25-strong banger compendium balanced between classics and exclusives, it oozes the perfect blend of bare-faced bass attitude and tongue-in-cheek humour. From Roksonix string-soaked jig jamboree "Music In Me" to Brown & Gammon's emotional audio rainbow "Dark Matter", the Circus sound is represented at its boldest, most characterful and, above all, fun. Not a dull moment in sight - check this and remember why we all got into dubstep in the first place.

Review:
NYC producer Heartbreak serves up a handsome EP which could easily pass as a full album. Ranging from grimy, industrial-strength dancehall trap ("Yardcore Pressure") to all-out hoover-hurling hardstyle ("Beast Mode"), Heartbreak has ticked every OWSLA box and plenty more. Those looking for acid quirkiness head to the "Access" sampling "Acid Youths". Those hungry for a lighters-up moment, jump on "Raindrops". If this is just "The Foundation", who knows what EDM towers Heartbreak is about to build on top of it? Massive.
