Valve Recordings At Juno Download

Review: Landing on the typically more D&B-shaped label Valve, excellent four-headed UKF/garage monsters CRST once again smash it on this new single. "Pressure" is pure Roska/Funkystepz/Ill Blu funky - rooted on a hypnotic kick and hyped with bruk out snares and gliding pads, it's a simple yet devilishly funky winner. "What I Want" goes out on more of a garage vibe though, with vocalist Allen sitting atop a fluid bass line and DJ Q-esque snares and hats. OG garage/funky don Zed Bias weighs in with a typically full-frontal remix that switches up rhythms and mixes crisp, pitched-up snares with deliciously rounded bass.

Review: It is not often we are blessed with a Dillinja release but the time, it seems, is nigh, as the Valve boss and legendary D&B-ster brings us his brand new single on his own label. "Time For You" heads up the release and is a sublime vocal-driven slice of goodness, featuring vocalist Tate Williams. Pairing Dillinja's ear for a heavy bassline with a more accessible sound, bleepy synth work and some vocodered sections, this one should see mass appeal. "Play Away", its accompanying counterpart, sees a stabbing bassline with squeaky squiggles of synth, crisp, punchy drums and a more playful tone throughout.
