Loose Squares At Juno Download

Review: Leeds producer Sarantis is brimming with excellent off-the-hook rave ideas across all seven tracks on The Cell33 EP arriving courtesy of Chrissy Murderbot's Loose Squares label. As you'd expect from any Murderbot-approved release, tempos creep deep into 140bpm territory as Sarantis mixes footwork and juke rhythms with dub on "Acid Daze", dancehall on "The Problem" and grime on "Str8up".

Review: We're not entirely sure who Slick Shoota is - or, indeed, whether he is actually a well-groomed marksman - but this EP is packed with urgent, energetic future garage grooves. Both "Love You You You" and "8 Bit Beauty" combine choppy vocal samples, classic garage sounds and steppy, hip-wigglin' rhythms to great effect. "Hit The Flow" delivers a stomping UK funky excursion with a thrilling slo-mo breakdown, while free track (yep, you can download it for nothing) "Eye Turn Red" is three minutes of edit-happy garage bounce. The heavy tropical drums and classic garage vocals of "Beby" complete a catchy package.
