Review: Part three is upon us as Deep Dark & Dangerous unveil the final piece of the puzzle in their latest release line with 'Dangerous', showcasing the most rawcus sounds on their roster. The line up for this one is sublime, with heavyweight names such as CITY1, Ternion Sound, Lost, Dank Frank, DayZero and SubDocta all being drafted in to showcase their unique skill sets. The project as a whole bleeds creativity and musical innovation, with particular points of interest coming in DMVU's incredibly swampy 'Dem Fi Kno' original, which unleashes a wash of pungent synthesizer sweeps and impactful percussive inputs, alongside the unpredictable electronic brilliance of 'Arc' from Computerbeats. This compilation series has been truly magnificent to take in and is a real testament to the DD&D commitment to pushing dubstep forward.
Review: Abstrakt Sonance and DMVU on one triple-D lung-hugging heaver? This can only spell trouble. Unhurried in its intro, confident in its alien angularities, ridiculous with its tempestuous sound design; everything about this co-lab stinks to hades and back... And we wouldn't have it any other way. Drop "I Be The" and YOU be the hero.
Review: Run by Content (Tony Riley) and Deafblind (Rich Weston), Encrypted Audio is a label that likes to focus on 'the darker side of electronica'. Pushing a self-confessed 'experimental bass' sound, the ENC006 EP perfectly captures the label's spirit. There are five doom-step excursions featured, highlights include the creepy dark alley crawl of "Pistol Grip", the sparse, angular percussion of "Six Shooter" and the hip-hop-on-opiates haze of "Atlas".
Review: Colorado might not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of dark, ominous bass music, but DMVU has got his shit on lock-down! He's back on Deep, Dark & Dangerous with a four-part gunshot spew that'll likely murder any dance floor from here to Aspen. "Fleww" kicks things off with a wonky, mutating bassline that sounds a lot like Coki's music on a heavy dose of LSD, while "Ummm" takes a slower, more ninja-like stance back by the familiar lyrics "..everyday I'm hustlin'". The title tune "Bloccd" is a stealthy, stop-start juke experiment carrying a load of broken drums and slithering swarms of bass frequencies, whereas "15 Signs You Grew Up In Tasmania" is more of a sound collage, straying heavily into hip-hop territories, and it sounds a lot like DMVU is having fun on that ol' MPC.
Review: Sure State's monthly dispatches are like clockwork. This month they've recruited emerging bass experimentist DMVU for two beautiful, emotion rich bass escapades. Last spotted on Abyssal, he's clearly taken a turn for the more cosmic, dreamy influences: All swoony and hazy, "Betrayal Moon" is awash with melodic devices played using the Oriental scale. "Canyon Echoes", meanwhile, would make the perfect montage soundtrack of a man running, slo-mo to the love of his life who's just about to board a plane without knowing how he feels about her. Does he get to tell her? Press play and find out.
