Review: Joining dots between two sounds that came from the same mindset and very similar streets and cultural context, Influence Records have curated something incredibly special here with 'Diaries From Detroit'; a VA collection boasting some of the most talented names across the D&B generations from Seba to Conrad Subs. All exploring those cold futuristic aesthetics that both jungle and Detroit techno share, highlights can be found at every twist and turn but you'd be crazy not to check the likes of subtleties and immense subs of A Audio's 'Mercury', the ice cold grumbles of Lynx's 'De-Tro' and the shimmering dub techno influences on L-Side's powerful 'Point Of View'. What a collection.
Review: Fresh from smashing through to the third place play-offs in Rebel Music's awesome Dub Wars tournament, rising duo A-Audio continue to flex into 2022 with this delicious and wide-ranging four-tracker. 'Lost' is all about the soulful, introspective vibes before we gradually get deeper and darker throughout the EP. 'Looking For You' has a mid 2000s Hospital vibe with a glistening finish and darker, growling touches on the low-end, 'How Many Times' is heads-down jazzy hypnosis which could easily be compared to the likes of Phil Tangent or Artificial Intelligence while 'Trust' closes the EP on a dream, far-away tip. A++, top of the class.
