Review: Their reputation for creation firmly set by their previous smasher "Thriller", Bulgarian duo Basscatz return with their most accomplished, far-reaching EP to date. "Perspectives" sets the tone with a trippy, sea-sick riddim and thick, oozing bass. "Dreaming" belies its soft and cuddly title with an insistent pattern of unrelenting kicks, minor key stabs and paranoid pads. "The Way" is darker again thanks its dungeon-minded halfstep and nuances of nasty neuro bass. Finally we climax with a stunning collaborative cut "My Moon". With an almost psychedelic edge to the synth hook and serious attention to detail on the rhythm, Balkansky (AKA D&B don Cooh) has clearly had a strong influence on his fellow Bulgarian brethren. Spotless sonics, throughout, Basscatz are taking no prisoners.
Review: Dspot teams up with new Bulgarian duo Basscatz for a proper dubstep workout on the young Platform Music. "Glimpse Of The Future" takes rolling drum hits, fast-moving percussion slices and throws them headfirst into a sludgy, uber-grimey bass wobble capable of some serious damage on any floor from here to Sofia. "The Project" is similar in texture but whilst its drums are still on the same punch as the previous track, the bassline is broken up, widened-out and transformed into an eerie cascade of bleeping tones and hisses.
