Review: After a period of sporadic dispatches, the mighty Diffrent crew return with a collection of fresh originals and reboots of label classics. Part VA album, part statement of intent; 'Revolution Of The Giraffe' captures everything you already know and love about the label (its bleeding edge jungle sound and motley crew of cross-generational musical misfits) while supercharging us for what they have in store for the future. As with anything they've put out since launching way back in 2010, boundaries are blurred as we glide between jungle, D&B, 160, breaks and all things in between. Highlights include the deep emotional surges of Lakeway's 'Even Though', Eusebeia's cavernous twist of Crypticz' 'Could Have Been' and bossman Dexta's venomous 160 assault 'Giraffes On Acid'. Wind your neck in.

Review: Whenever new Cosmic Bridge releases hit the store, we close the curtains and dim the lights, preparing our ears for a truly stunning listening experience. We are once again blessed with the opportunity to do just that as the sonic wonder of Crypticz lands with this wonderful new 12 track masterclass, entitled 'Transition Of Eye'. From start to finish this project is littered with pure production wizardry, from the beautiful synthetic meteor storms of the introductory arrangements of 'The Soundboy Tears', to the refined mysticism of 'Part Disappear' and emotive soundscaping and potent breakdowns of 'I Think I'm In Love With Living Again'. We cannot stress how important listening to this project on longplay will be, with the whole album guiding us on a journey through electrifying synthetics on tracks such as 'Through Waterfalls' alongside Maya Bruce, into overwhelming percussive brilliance on records such as 'Angles' and 'Death'. A truly wondrous body of work that we couldn't recommend highly enough.

Review: Emerging drum and bass producer outta Bristol Crypticz has impressed in recent years with an opening bevvy of releases on the labels like Chris Dexta's Different Music and most recently Rudimental. Granted a debut record on Alex Eveson's Western Lore imprint (think Deadman's Chest, Thugwidow and Sonic) Between Dust & Time finds its passage through deep storytelling and wild production techniques. At 12-minutes long, "Broadcast Feeling" ventures through a soundscape of ambient bliss and liquid drum and bass rhythms punctuated by snippets of jungle and soundsystem culture. A hugely atmospheric release, the beatless arrangements on show here are as blissful as its rhythm sections are body moving, just like tracks "Journey Through The Rings Of Saturn" and "Nightshifter's Groove". Always dubby, Between Dust & Time focuses on high end rhythms, submerged basslines, and special kick drum design. The way liminal dub, drum and bass should be; frenetic and tribal that spans an ocean of ambiance.

Review: Previously spotted on labels such as Diffrent and Sweetbox, and championed by the likes of Om Unit, and Dub Phizix, UK dubsmith Crypticz makes his 31 debut with four expertly crafted sub joints that sparkle and rumble with all the right dub elements. "Echo Sound" is all about the big nodding groove and crafty delay wizardry, "MTD" adds more jungle into the mix with a pacier kick dynamic and strange alien effects leading the groove. "20" takes us right down into the slimy-walled dungeon for a slo-mo stomp in the stankiest of sub sludge while "Rhymes" brings us to an almighty show-stopping finale as it ignites with a slow burning kick that builds into a transcendental whoosh of sonics and dynamics. Crypticz is going places, there's no doubt about it.
