Review: What a fantastic time it is when we can see such a vibrant collection of artists come together within a forward thinking D&B space, exploring crunching synth belches and sub-heavy drum work firstly on 'Horrid', which sees D*Minds, Jakes & Run In The Jungle combine forces for a system-melting introduction. On the flipside to this sampler, we then see Run In The Jungle and D*Minds link up with T>I on 'Giraffe Neck', a much more dancefloor inspired sizzler, focussing on gritty synthesizer designs and pulsating reese basses to match, all tied together with sharp drum work that is sure to send the sternest of ravers into an absolute frenzy.
Review: D*Minds and T>I's Run In The Jungle project continues to pick up momentum as they hurtle towards their debut album with sampler number two. 'Insane' sets the pace and tone with king MC Carasel getting crisp and stern with the bars over a hard-hitting but subtle groove. 'Kill Sound' meanwhile takes things right back to the dancefloor with an abrasive, infectious jump-up style riff that bites just as hard as it barks. Keep on running!
Review: Gear them now! D*Minds return to Souped Up with more fruity ruffage. 'Charlie's Sheen' takes the spicy Hollywood actor to gully new levels with a stern Hazard-esque barking bassline and a sense of tension running throughout while 'Riddem' goes full-on barrel business with an expertly rattling snare and ballistic style bass scuds flying all over the place. Classic D*Minds carnage.
Review: Run lynchpins and all-round Bristol dons Distorted Minds get us all grinning like Mr Happy once again with this ultimate titanium stamper. As the title suggests, it shreds through silly little subgenres with a cutlass bassline that will fit in any darker set. Weighted with grainy textures and eerie samples, it's as ageless as it as future and will slay any corner of the dance. Let's hope they don't leave it so long next time.
