Review: Time Is Now seem to have such a knack for finding releases that just breathe colour and originality, a theme that they adhere to once again as they unveil the second edition of their 'Time Is Now Allstars' series. We begin with the smooth chord sizzles of Bakey's 'Dismantle', with Interplanetary Criminal & Hypho's delicate garage-breaks hybrid 'Talbot Road' in hot pursuit. Next, DJ Crisps switches the rhythms for some post-funky excitement on 'Ready Salted', before Yosh takes it back to some old school garage flavour on 'Over & Out'. Finally, the soulful vocal-chord combos of 'Arms Around' from Ell Murphy & DJ Crisps are chased down by Main Phase with 'Special Occasion', another super precise roller, which sees the release out with a bang.
Review: The Time Is Now team are looking solid beyond belief at the moment as they unveil another killer drop, this time from the futuristic fusion-heavy sounds of Bakey, who lands three potent originals for us all to enjoy. The title track 'Take It Further' is a perfect blend of breakbeat and garage themes, combining crispy drum expressions with vibrant, pulsating subs to really get the party started. Following this, the nostalgic broken 2-steppy beats and unpredictable sub manoeuvres of 'Cobra' work some real magic before rounding off on the stripped back yet extremely potent arrangements of '1002', again utilizing powerful subs, but this one with an angelic sounding padded twist.
