Shock Power Of Love EP
Blackdown - "This Journey VIP" - (4:03) 130 BPM
Burial - "Dark Gethsemane" - (9:59) 134 BPM Hot
Heatmap - "Arklight" (Blackdown remix) - (4:02) 130 BPM
Review: Keeping with themes of continuum is Burial's return to Keysound backed by a Blackdown VIP dub and remix of the track "Arklight" by Joseph Whittle's Heatmap project. For Burial, it shows a '90s-inspired and hopeful sound from an artist revelling in the skylit clouds this time opposed to the dusty streetscapes of his known soundworld. "Space Cadet" sounds exactly that, with spirals of Asiatic chimes and new age synths - peppered by crackles and white noise - matched by the rave and post-hardcore melodies of "Dark Gethsemane". Keeping the EP firmly rooted on terra firma though is the hype dub cut "This Journey" by Blackdown - preaching more of a positive message - next to the boxy claps and spiralling arpeggios of that Heatmap remix. An EP for the times: Shock Power Of Love.

Review: As two legendary names within the UK dance music scene in general, we were absolutely thrilled to see that Dusk & Blackdown had linked up with Keysound for a very tasty LP project entitled 'Rollage Live, Vol. 1'. The tracklisitng as ever, shows this duo's insane aptitude for electronic sound design, from the sweeping score of 'Keysound Sessions Anthem' and it's 'Feverish Weightless Mix', to the laser-lead switch ups of 'Parallels' and scattered rhythms of the 'Peng One Two' VIP. For us, there are two clear standouts, including 'Flex' with its unpredictable rhythmic manoeuvres and colourful synthesizer expansions, alongside the steadily rolling bass chugs of 'Anyone Test'.

Rollage Vol 4: The Hunger EP
All In 1 (Hunger X Cycle X Info X Headback) - (9:46) 130 BPM
The Hunger - (2:06) 130 BPM
The Cycle - (3:19) 130 BPM Hot
The Information - (3:21) 130 BPM
Headback Lift Off - (2:45) 130 BPM
Review: Next up from the Keysound crew, we have a brand new shiny project from Blackdown, who returns with a very interesting concept of an EP. Track one takes the title 'All In 1' which combines elements of the other four tracks on the EP into one super minimix of a composition. We then move into the spooky string slides and rainy textures of 'The Hunger' before the high pressure drum chops and laser-like synths of 'The Cycle' arrive on the scene. Finally, we check out the rapid fire synthesizer shots of 'The Information' before turning up the tech-o-meter on 'Headback Lift Off' which lets loose with choppy percussive slices and distorted bass tones to the match. A very interesting listen indeed.

Rollage Vol 3: C troit EP
Godlike Power - (5:29) 131 BPM
Clueless - (4:57) 130 BPM Hot
Halcyon Skies (Rollage mix) - (4:43) 130 BPM
The Greatest Concert - (6:32) 130 BPM
Review: Keysound are proud to announce the third installment in their Rollage sub-series. This EP is from Blackdown, with Dusk joining on co-production duties. "C-troit" is a name revived from a lost, unfinished track by Blackdown in the very earliest years of dubstep. A hybrid of the names Croydon and Detroit, it's a heuristic for the place between Greater London's bass-led music and the halcyon synths of early Detroit techno. Now that there's a growing body of dark, 130bpm-ish rollage, from within the Keysound camp and crews beyond: the EP seeks to throw warm light into the shadows, with the tracks "Godlike Power", "Clueless ft Dusk" and "Halcyon Skies (Rollage mix)." The EP's closing cut "The Greatest Concert (RIP PMC)" was written by Blackdown in the days immediately following the passing of his father. The tracks in the Rollage series are designed to be mixed together as one flow.

Played by: Cloaka
Review: The endlessly talented Blackdown is back on the feverishly gracious Keysound imprint for a new batch of bass-driven, high-tech dance cuts. This time, however, it's a multi-mix affair, where our man Blackdown lays down four versions of the "Keysound Sessions Anthem". The Feverish Weightless mix opens with an Optical-style fold of mutant bass engulfing the barren slices of percussion floating in mid-air, followed by the more kinetic Technorollage mix, where a hint of 4/4 is injected amid the groove's rugged and improvisational beat structure. The original cut sounds like a strain of dubstep that could have easily been conceived by the UK's legendary jungle pioneers thanks to its subtle hints of break science, while the 8bar version takes us all the way to grimesville, and ties this EP off with a grizzly tone of voice.

High Road
High Road - (5:27) 133 BPM Hot
Review: It's been a long time since Dusk & Blackdown committed themselves to a release proper, and they're doing so now on their own Keysound imprint. Kicking off with "High Road", which features a guest contribution from Burial, the atmosphere is a spooky one that employs smatterings of mournful vocal over a pacey rhythm and an immersive tapestry of sounds and samples that keep the track dynamic and ever-engaging despite its surface minimalism. "Focus VIP" is a more forthright affair, still drenched in drama but with a propulsive groove and lashings of strings, rousing details and a mean Reese bass line. That leaves it "Ex-Swing" to chuck the beat out of leftfield in a snappy 2-step reduction that maximizes on stop-start impact at the end of each bar.
