Tube10 Holland At Juno Download

Review: Tuning in to a very similar sound as Bristol-based dubstep pioneer Pinch and the rest of the Tectonic crew, Blackwax steps up with a three-track offering on Tube10. Title track "Offkey" sees an echoing vocal loop trapped between hollow, clip-clop beats in a vacuous space of sound, which is deeply hypnotic and compelling. "Surface" gets a bit more funky with tropical SFX and bongo beats, underpinned by a rib-crunching bassline, whilst the final track in the tripartite - "Airway" builds from euphoric intro into a Night Slugs style synth work out with shimmering, multi-coloured sprays of uplifting sound.

Review: Epworth's "Mo Reilly" on Tube10 is a cut above the rest. Think gentle, pattering beats, delicate sweeping atmospherics and an aesthetic of minimalism employed with stark, stripped back beauty. First up is "Blamy Ally" which builds from a collection of soft beats into a more cohesive form, with Burial-like tones, underwater atmospheres and chilled out chiming. "Inside" starts with strumming harp and strings, which gradually fade out as clapping beats are introduced and the strumming is faded in and out of focus.
