Review: Despite all the recent setbacks, London's stronger than ever right now and what better way to prove it than with the totally lit LDN Selection - a sizzling new collection compiled and mixed by the mighty Plump DJs for the Punks label? The set kicks off with the leftfield tropical trap of 1 "jungle" by Mace before embark on an electric journey over the course of 24 more tracks. More highlights include the insane hands-in-the-air stadium ghetto of Stanton Warriors' "Walking" and the crunchy bassline house of "Roll Easy" by Signal:Noize. All tracks are available both individually and woven into a cool one hour DJ mix. Best of both worlds, nuff said.
Review: The summer season may be wrapping up soon, but there's no easing of the pace for the Stanton Warriors, as their label schedule keeps on delivering the heavy stuff. France producer Badjokes is chomping at the bit to unleash two slices of nastiness, and who are we to stop him? "Hurry Up" is the sound of the sleaziest strip joint in Atlanta - all half-time booty bounce and sharp trap beats. The standout track though is the positively evil, fizz-bass electro beast, "Work On", a truly game-changing jam.
Review: "Sunglasses, Champagne and jewellery" what more could anyone ask from life? Well, maybe some killer beats too and here Badjokes duly obliges with two ribcage rattling collaborations for bass fiends everywhere. First up we get "Champagne" (featuring Jay Robinson) and its aforementioned lifestyle mantra set to razor sharp ghetto/booty beats and harsh bass attacks. "Drop Down Low" meanwhile, pursues a hip-hop/trap route with descending stabs that dance around a stop/start strip club groove. All killer, no filler.
Review: The shady, balaclava-sporting Badjokes is back with a new musical assault, this time on the appropriately named Arcane label. There are three cuts to get your teeth into here - the ravey cut-ups and buzz saw bass of the title track, the tough Mr Fever collaboration "How We Do It" and the menacingly minimal tech-attack "Drop It Down". Finally Ditta Dumont steps up to explode "How We Do It" into an electronic meltdown. Not for the faint hearted!
