Review: The mighty Vision step forth with another humungous Mission VA collection, once again shining the brightest spotlight on some of the most exciting corners of bass music across the globe. Reading like a who's who in innovative production, the collection ranges from utter gutter-chomping filth from the likes of S Murk and Monuman to hurricane sonics by the likes of Current Value and Forbidden Society. Special moments can be found on each and every twist and turn the collection takes from UFO and Bro Safari's brand new project ET Finger to the new technoid inspired alias of Hybris - Pruvan. Absolutely sublime; here's to more future Missions.

Review: Next up from Forbidden Society, a monstrous display of high octane synthetic delight as this brand new 'No Return' album drop gives us a sumptuous taste of neurotic mastery. Exploring the most mind-boggling sound design and intricately design drum structures, this whole project is a homage to just how far you can take the D&B sound, opening up with the sizzling yet subtle reeses & metallic drum clunks of 'The Craft', The constantly shifting backdrops and intense flickering percussive rotations of 'Disappointment' also pack a punch, alongside the growling synth drives of 'Dread' and even some 140 flavour across the glitchy landscapes of 'Undark'. This whole project is exceptional, pushing the boundaries between sound and electronics as far as they can go, with our favourites including the liquidized melodic sweeps of 'Still Waters', the manic synthesizer switch ups of 'Mirrors' and of course the grizzly bellows of the title track 'No Return', which unleashes an additionally stunning display of soundscaping. Awesome work!

Review: Forbidden Society are on their own label this week for an eight-track EP slash small album adventure, with all eight cuts representing something different in their contribution to the release as a whole. The first half is dark and murky, with 'Rustler' and 'Deadbox' all absolutely going in with their distorted approach to bassline heaviness. The second half is more retrospective and chilled out, with the melancholia of 'Empty Eyes' making it possibly the best track of the release, a release that's finished off with the loping halftime of 'FCK Publicity'. Wicked.

Review: Straight in with the tech vibes, Audio gets things smoking with "Burn It Down", a heavy as hell smasher with a serious stepper vibe. Even forgetting those dangerous post-apocalyptic atmospherics, this joint means business, and Audio's not leaving until that dancefloor has been well and truly conquered. Donny & Forbidden Society reign in pure evil for their darkly disturbing collaborative effort "Creator & Destroyer" fixing industrial breaks to chilling samples. The Czech Republic's own badmen Forbidden Society round off this smasher of a single with "The Punch", a digital bonus track that offers screwface bass, Leftfield sampling and filthy breakbeats with a neuro twist. Big, heavy and very nasty.

Review: With a name that immediately incites fear and fury, Forbidden Society's "Forcer" is all distorted, computerized vocals and whirring synth drones. This is dark, nasty D&B at its best, recalling some Lifted moments with Spor, Ewun and Evol Intent. Stuttering drums, groaning bass and twisted SFX make this one a winner, whilst the accompanying "Incarnation" brings in the raw talent of Computerartist for another sci-fi extravaganza, this time with mashed up pumping lyrics, syncopated rhythms and a discernable Skrillex influence shining through with rock and dubstep undertones. Music for the next generation.
