Review: Reviewed By Duploc:
Today we're inspecting the construction site of Artikal Music UK's next project. Founder J:Kenzo employed eleven professional and highly skilled architects to carefully design, build and create a handcrafted compilation full of music he admires. As J:Kenzo explains: "The tracks included were filtered through from artists that have previously released on Artikal or have some connection with myself either being played on my Rinse FM shows or live sets". Considering the quality of each and every track, only two years of fabrication to finish off this product is remarkably short. Volume One of "The Architects" reflects J:Kenzo's refined taste in dubstep and drum and bass. On the 2 x 12" record, you'll find some absolute masterpieces from amongst others D-Operation Drop, Causa, Compa, Argo, DubDiggerz and J:Kenzo himself. The Architects' series, a yearly showcase filled with content from the label's artists plus VIP and remixes as well as bringing through new talent, will make the foundations of dubstep shake undoubtedly.
Review: Inna Riddim is a record label and sound system that personally claims it is 'bringing the ruckus from Brighton to Bondi (that's in Sydney, Australia, by the way people) and are trying to push the boundaries of bass music. An ambitious mission statement but all the best to them; they're having a good innings on the Spectrum Yellow EP. Starting out with the deep and dark side roll of Ritual's "Rush2AD", Cykotek pitches "Neofunk" at us and as the name suggests: he certainly does take his cues from Ed Rush & Optical's Virus style of techstep. Compa's contribution is "Them Dogs" which features the most razor sharp bassline we've heard all year hands down while LUPR presents the sinister, Crystal Waters sampling bass house of "Guided".
Review: Bubbling from the dub motherland, Kingston Jamaica, Moonshine Recordings deliver a 15-track heavy adventure into the finest contemporary dub sounds. Uniting artists from all sides of the oceanic dub pool, Steppin' Forward documents bass music and dub culture's furthest, most expansive potential. From Compa's undulating bass wriggles and reverb synth shots on "One Lion" to the heavy, gurgling low-end menace of Violinbwoy's "Echo Park" this is guaranteed to resonate with all sides of the dub spectrum.
