Review: We have often spoken about how excited we are to hear new Infernal Sounds projects, with today's being the cherry on the top of a very exciting year so far. Having had them as guests on The JunoDownload podcast, we knew this drop was going to be a bit crazy, as they unveil twelve storming originals from some of the biggest names to grace the label, including the likes of Fiend, Causa, Bukkha, J:Kenzo, Sabab, Ternion Sound & more, all delivering power dubstep creations and upping the levels from one track to the next. The entire tracklisting is crazy, but our standouts would have to include firstly the warbling synthesizer rattles of Nova's 'Calivate', a storming original that really hits home on where dubstep is today. We would also have to include the gnarly electronic melodies of 'Gutta' from Dark Tantrums, alongside the more subtle chord structures and syncopated bliss of Oxossi's 'Wyldin'.
Review: Despite their relatively short time within the spectrum of releasing new music, The Sub Merchants have unveiled an absolute corker with this latest 'Ridley Road' compilation. The project showcases some of the freshest sounds in 140, kicking off with Distinct Motive delivering a warbling robotic display in 'WY', followed by Hella & Logan linking up for the dungeon-ready arrangements of 'Chattings'. Fearless Dread then arrives with some fungal flavour with the dingey subs of 'Sucker Punch', before the weighty basslines and minimal percussive arrangements of Distinct Motive return on 'Therapy'. The pace refuses to slow as Hella delivers a percussive overload on 'Low Rider', followed by the breaks infused twists and powerful low ended maneuvers of 'Light Em', seeing Fearless Dread arriving for his second outing. We then move into three corking remix additions, with Oxossi giving a more dubwise twist to 'WY', Logan_olm treating 'Chattings' to a skippy refurb and Mincy giving 'Light Em' a ferocious roller of an overhaul. Amazing work from all involved!
