Four40 At Juno Download

Review: This latest cut from Four40 features Beacon on the production duties with some quintessentially hybrid bass music that spans electro, juke and UK Funky. The title track is led by a massive snare, which gets tempered by the bright and bold synths and R&B vocal hook. It should slot nicely into any number of styles, much like the more sparse Funky vibes of "When You Go". With restrained bleeps and a subtly booming sub, it's just left to the vocal looping to give a nod to the juke styles of recent times. "Jiggly" meanwhile plumps straight for the tech-house floor with a fat, driving bassline and rigid beats.

Review: A huge new release on the Four40 label sees Regality kill it with an exceptionally fly mix of 808 kicks and snares, soulful vocals and distant harmonies on the excellent "Celebrate". A range of mixes back it up nicely, going from the dubby and mellow house of Charlie Banks & Stacklow's revisit to the more upfront floor-focused sounds of Squarehead.
