Review:
De Niro offers up another serving of delicious dubstep flavours on No Mad, which are dominated by gratuitously grizzled synths, eerie melodies, wobbly basslines and a pervasive sense of unease. First up in this two-track release is the title track "The Aggressors" which is all Caspa-style grating mid range and ominous House of Horrors style SFX before it develops into the main bass-driven part with booming subs and quirky synth flourishes. "Metro2" blends clapping, smacking snares with sweeping atmospherics in the intro and then some gritty moments as the track progresses. Expect the unexpected here!

Review:
Slow paced, swaggering dubstep of the highest order here from De Niro & Y in "Dogday", a low slung, weighty slice of ominous bass music thuggery. Squelchy subs bubble through the bassline like pools of stagnant oil, whilst grinding synth lines provide further texture. In "Back To M101" the rippling, trance-influenced synthline sets the tone for a wobbly little number. "Kinsky", up next, is a more experimental number with quirky SFX, whilst "Radio Beam" is back to the sci-fi sonics and whomping b-line pressure. Bass monkeys will love this.

Review:
It's a mark of dubstep's continuing global spread that this release harks from Italy and features a remix by Budapest-based DJ Madd. Epitome's original version of "Sublife" is quietly impressive, building atmospherically for 90 seconds before suddenly springing to life. The shuffle of the beats and the discordant vocal samples help create a heady feel that's nowhere near as dark or paranoid as much dubstep. That's not to say it's a barrel of laughs, mind, but it's certainly far more positive than your average underground wobbler. Madd's remix is decidedly sparser, offering a smoky combination of low-end wobble, ricocheting percussion and spooky chords.

Review:
Accompanying the original mix of LNRipley - "Trap" are no less than six remixes on show here. A cacophony of high-octane beats, grime lyrics, swaggering urban furore and dubstep-inspired bass power, the original is a tough cookie to crack. Maurs twists it up with screeching, high-pitched synth manipulations, whilst Epitome adds a dash of old Skream with bass bubbles and emphasis on the vocals. Maztek spices it up with a dash of dancefloor, before Kombot strips back the breakdowns and then tears it apart with lashing, metallic snares. Inward takes inspiration from Doctor P and Noisia with his brutal re-interpretation and finally Scapo soothes our ears with a funkier, shuffling 4/4 vocal-driven version.

Review:
On the basis of this release, Matt U seems to have found the 'sensual' button in his banger factory! Switching up from his darker vibes, "Something About You" is trembling, tripped out exercise in fractured future garage. With cold chords but a warm, processed vocal, it oozes end-of-night smoochiness. Hungry for the darker vibes? Then flip for De Niro's remix. Driving over the limit with purring bass and thundering halfsteps, it's the perfect remix for Matt U's most distinctive, lightest record to date.

Review:
Italy's No.Mad Records have an agenda. They want to buck the current trend that sees musicians forced to become businessmen (or women!) in order to survive. They should, according to label boss Ezra, be allowed to just get on with making and playing the music that they love. Suz is one such character - a unique female talent, certainly in Italy, who returns with album number two, "One Is A Crowd". Highlights include the orchestrated trip-hop of "Distant Skies", the machine gun rhythms of "Bring Us Down", the post-dubstep vibes of "Frailest China" and the late-night jazz-hop of "Nighthawk".

Review:
Tactician eh? Just what we like to hear... Taiko is a technical fighter who dissects any challenge like a brain-freezing game of chess. Rook to king four: "More Beans" swipes out the bishops and knights with its ruthless staccato one-note sweep. Rook to queen two: "Tactician" takes out the remaining pawns with a brass spittoon of bass belches. Check: "Deplete" sneaks round the back and takes the queen with a mechanoid funk kick. Check mate: Juno apologises to genuine chess fans about the miss use of chess terms in this review.

Review:
Bologna badman Unstable Compound goes under the knife for this collection of interesting reversions. Marching across the very frontier of dubstep, each of the reinterpretations shows how much untainted deep space remains to be explored in the experimental pastures of sub-frequency sounds. The lead track "Wonder" gets two adaptations; a somnambulant lullaby from Squarial (watch out for the percussive switch mid-track!) and a soft-play glitchy roller by Epitome. Reflecting the EP's sonic span neatly with those two re-rubs alone, the remaining takes by the likes of Ezra, Apes On Tapes and Jean Renault each tick numerous leftfield bass boxes. Startling fresh, this is a well curated collection.

Review:
The Nomad imprint presents an intriguing various artist compilation entitled The Red Sines which features a range of up-and-coming talent. Opening the album is a quirky cut from Ezra called "Coming From Far" which pairs a vocal with a melancholy instrumental drone. Other noteworthy moments across the selection include the sparse, bass-driven devilry of De Niro in "Black Market"; the dubbed out "Ignorance" by D-Operation Drop and the deeply atmospheric "Transition" by Sublmnl with its tribal pattering bongo drums. Tuzzy makes an interesting outro with the taut, synth-driven "Bluemoon" which rounds off the album beautifully.
