Review: Next up on Perfect NL, an absolute stonker of a drop from the one and only Arkham Sound, joining forces with TMSV to deliver a mind-numbing dip into the subby pool. We open up with TMSV's remix of 'Heat Mandatory', a digital masterpiece in gritty synth lines and warbling LFO design, followed by the faster paced, jungle-influenced pad textures and eski licks of 'Elseworlds' alongside 'Hostile Universe', which again slams together heavily reese-driven arrangement for maximum impact. From here, more synthetic wizardry as the electrifying drives and metallic percussive slaps of 'Codec' turn the pressure towards a more dubstep-inspired field, followed by square-wave driven depths of the original 'Heat's Mandatory'. Top work!
Review: The consistency with which the FKOF, aka FatKidOnFire team are able to unleash fresh dubstep heaters is pretty outstanding in the modern climate, with this latest display of mastery from Arkham Sound once again showcasing just how good their catalogue has become. First up, 'Storm Band' takes a slightly slowed pace, packing in a sub-busting bassline and unpredictable drum skips to kick us off with some glamour, before some more swampy LFO work and industrial drum designs are brought to the forefront in 'Cosmic Horror', shaking the system into a rattling wreck. The crunchiness of 'Watcher's Eye' stands out next, with some powerful drum processing and hard-hitting low-end action being the main event, before the skippy rhythms and jittering melodics of 'Trenches' round off the EP with a suitable bang. Lovely work!
