Review: The Dirty Kitchen Rave team have unveiled a fiery collection indeed here, welcoming not only the innovative production talents of - Urbano -, but also three keen remixers to deliver this 'Relax' EP in style. The original track is a spicy one, laced with hard hitting robotic-style synth designs and subtle, eastern-sounding chord progressions, culminating in a hard hitting chopper of a drop. Remix wise, we firstly see MINT touch down with a more sublow approach to the arrangement, making the most of those fiery vocals, before POok gives the track a much more abstract, soundscape-driven feel. Finally, Pixel Fist unleashes a throwdown dubstep-sounding overhaul, giving the project one final dash of originality to close upon.
Review: 2nd Phase is the latest act to appear on Bek Audio. In keeping with the prevailing sound on the label, the title track is a peak-time affair. Led by propulsive percussion and a rolling rhythm, it makes for a hypnotic club track. "Pendulums" sees the duo opt for a different approach. While still focused on the dance floor, it is focused on piledriving kicks and bursts of white noise. Layered over the arrangement are ravey stabs that lend the track an ominous feeling. "Talkin' Bout" is a more house-focused sound. It's powered by rolling snares, subtle filters and some of the most hypnotic vocal samples you'll hear all year.
Review: Next up from 903Lun, an aquatic leap into some of the murkiest 140 we have heard so far this year, landing on the ever ready Noizion with four tracks of pure steppers bliss. We open up with 'Back In Time', a melodic title track that allows us to drift through floating pad textures and wonky drum types, followed by the more haunted soundscapes of 'E Shock', which utilises bumping subs and crunchy synths to deliver a pretty mind blowing roller. Next, dubwise chord delays and spacious reverberations, laced with a wicked bassline below on 'Frog Venom' again sees the themes switch, before we close off on the creeping, syncopated rhythms of 'In The Woods'. Awesome work.
