Review: Hot Mom heaviness: Distal's massive summer EP gets ripped for winter as an equally massive remix EP. Rosko applies the breaks in a typically spacious fashion Vjaun Allure really works the detuned synths and skippy drums of "Wave Runner" while Carpainter takes a Detroit sentimentality and turbo charges it with future vibrancy on "Flowers". Distal himself and Scottie B dismantle and rebuild "Tokyo Nail Salon" into the ultimate gated hype raiser to end all gated hype raisers while GRRL close the show with a ghetto-ravaged D&B riot piece. Rave on.

Review: USA bass scientist, Distal, came to our attention with an album for Pinch's Tectonic back in 2012, and it's safe to say that neither he or us have ever looked back since. The producer has become an important player in the contemporary, post-dubstep scene, and that's because he never sticks to the same formula when concocting electronic beats; the variety of styles and influences that emanate from his tunes are constantly impressive. This new EP for Infinite Machine is a great example of his diversity as an artist: "Reebok Blood" is pretty much beatless and, instead of using loud drums as his tool, Distal manages to create form and rhythm out of broken, distorted sonics; "Hostage Track", on the other hand, is a pure hybrid track, mashing up elements of jungle, grime, and even a little bit of Chicago house in its samples. Big up!

Review: Atlanta's Distal drops a pair of future-bass winners on the Car Crash Set label, with the title tune leaning heavily on the techno side with a signature shifting arpeggio acting as a mainstay while the beats shift between moody half-step and full-on tech-stomp. In a Pearson Sound-style, "We Are VCR" is a chilly 808 'n' claps fest, topped off with some deliriously wonked-out leads twisting away in the background.

Review: Atlanta's Distal caps off a stellar year with a release from the ever on point Trouble & Bass imprint. The title track features frenetic whip crack footwork mechanics bolted onto high-pressure bass, while "Green Lantern" sees the producer experiment with dirty Southern hip-hop styles, as triumphant horn solos are combined with monstrously detuned vocals, while "Cheery Red" does the same, combining a brittle 808 flex and organic percussion with its sliced up vocal collage. Finally, star of the contemporary ballroom scene MikeQ steps up to remix "Green Lantern", transforming the trap style original into a linear house banger, filled with razor sharp vocal delivery and ravey house stabs.

Review: Atlanta's Distal continues to shine brightly, with this new release on Sinden's Grizzly label kicking heavily thanks to the Dirty South acapella loopin' of "Boss Of The South" and the excellent ghetto 808-frenzy of "Coke Bottle". Sinden himself smoothes out "Boss Of The South" on his mix, while Capracara's South of Heaven remix of the same track is a wildly experimental and very awesome woozy-house revisit that's simply gushing with misty rave goodness.

Review: Scottish label Fortified Audio is the latest home to Atlanta producer Distal, a man who's been prolific over the last 12 months with a host of remixes and originals - most notably "Grape Donut" which appeared on Soul Jazz's huge Future Bass compilation. Here, Detroit tech rubs shoulders with tropical funky on tunes like the effervescent title track, with its wayward and off-kilter strings proving to be a real highlight, alongside the minimal funk of "Love A La Venturo". Things get taken into hyper mode though for "Africa To Mars", with astral pads and relentless rhythms marking it out as an early favourite, as well as the soft dub of "Novocaine Blonde" which recalls his previous footwerk excursion, "Coke Bottle".
