Review: It's been a short while since we were last able to take in a fresh drop from the mighty Goth Trad, who returns in a blaze of glory across this outstanding new two-track drop, courtesy of the team over at Kudos Records. We begin with the VIP mix for 'Airbreaker', an industrial masterclass in steppers creation, exploring uniquely explosive percussive design and thumping basslines below. On the flip to this, we take in the more subtly arranged and unpredictable rhythmic switches of 'Apes'. This one takes us on a super cool journey through murky subs and intricate grooves, rounding off a really spicy pairing.
Review: As January nears its bitter end, it seems this the time to release mega compilation albums. AEI, the company behind Get Darker, UKF and D&B Arena unveil their next project: Get Darker Presents: This Is Dubstep 2012. And what an album it is. Bringing in all the flavours of contemporary dubstep, it succeeds in providing a sweeping panorama of an increasingly fractionalized scene. From the deeper sounds of Author, VIVEK, Kryptic Minds, Icicle & Distance and Phaeleh, through material from scene pioneers such as Horsepower Productions, Skream and Benga, to the more aggressive sounds of Gemini, Flux Pavillion, 16 Bit and Nero, it's all covered. A brilliant "who's who" of dubstep in 2012 - highly recommended.
