Dubstep For Deep Heads At Juno Download

Review: Biome provides a slice of something different with this three-track release on Dubstep For Deep Heads. Kicking things off with the murky sounds of "Havana" this one builds from a stripped back, eerie intro into the main tune with its dragging beats, humming bassline and razor sharp SFX. Next is an even more extraordinary piece; "No Soul" featuring lyrics from Fox (who we have recently seen collaborate with Dub Phizix in his recent release on Critical) which blends thick, heavy atmospherics with a swaggering beat and warping mid range. The soulful edit, which completes the EP, draws out the lush, blissed out vocal of the original and brings it into the fore.

Review: Kromestar returns with his second artist album in the shape of Colourful Vibrations, released on the Dubstep For Deep Heads imprint. Sounding like a natural progression from his 2009 opus My Sound, the 12 track selection veers between dubby vocal tinged melancholia ("Family Apart"), noodling synths ("Disagree", "You're Still On My Mind"), atmospheric dread ("Sweet Nightmares") and some truly delicate melodies ("A Stroll In The Night"). All in all it feels like a hugely personal body of music. There's much to explore here - a hugely accomplished follow up.
