Senseless At Juno Download

Review: UK bass label Senseless Records have found a young producer from San Francisco called Reilly Steel. With brittle, possibly classical-trained, production it's safe to say that Steel is taking a more intelligent approach to bass music. "ICU' mixes erratic percussion with the distinctly British sound of vintage rave stabs. "Taking Me" continues this theme with more stabs, house organs and a wailing diva exclaiming 'taking me high-err!'. Things slow down on the fragile "Inside" with samples culled from nature including bird calls and the sound of water. The vintage rave theme still abounds on "The Healing" which reminds the listener of Moby's 'Go' but with better bass. Cosmic Revenge deliver a stand out uptempo mix of the title track; full of eccentric basslines and electronic disco toms!

Review: Polish party starter, now based in London, Venice Calypso ain't messing around on this mighty body-popping trio of freak outs. And neither are the remixers. A bash-full funk up akin to the Night Slugs output, "Trapezoid" is an angular mash of barbed electronics as the bass riff follows the kickdrum's lead. "Poseisus" is a deeper, trackier affair that stinks of late night Berlin messy sessions. "Trouble" takes us back to the same moody, paranoid vibe of the title track but with added sludge factor.
