Review: It has been a brief minute since we heard from the Maraki team, who have clearly been keeping busy, plotting away for their next compilation project behind closed doors. Here we see just what they have building up to as they unveil a monumental second edition of their 'Spaces' series. This kicks of with Axel Boy's hard hitting original in 'Feel It Deep' which fuses potent bass synths with stunning vocal lines perfectly. Next up, Zero bring his unique sound design into full flow on 'Broken' before Document One get busy with a highly sought after D&B rethink of Bushbaby's 'Sonder'. Finally, we see the introduction of Greed & BTW who team up with the legendary vocals of Dread MC for their crunchy roller 'Enemy'.
Review: Well the Four40 gang are well and truly at it again as they bring forward this demonic selection form Clarity and Greed, who team up across three dark bass bombs. The title track goes by the name of 'After Dark' and works as a very creative murky roller, bringing jittery LFO movements into conjunction with skippy drum beats and lethal sub weight beneath. It gets more lively as Greed steps forward on solo duty for 'Drama', which brings a more shuffling set of bass leads to the front, with Clarity scatting out his synth designs on the unpredictable flavours of 'Catch My Drift'.
Review: With a reputation like that of Slime's, when they present their idea of garage future, it tends to be pretty definitive. Here they've done it again with a second installment of Future Sound Of Garage 2. There are 28 new joints here, all bursting with futuristic fizz. Highlights include the robo 2-step opener "Dreams" by Cup & String, the nasty bass and speedy beats of Conducta's "Be Strong" and the warm, washing synth waves of melodic bliss-popper "Goin In" by David Eliza. The future's safe in the hands of Slime!
Review: Dust off your Reebok Classics and prepare to get them dirtier than ever before: Bass enthusiasts Slime have recruited 10 of their favourite garage-minded artists to create a future-focused document that details the genre's roots, relevance, consistent presence and continuous evolution. From the bubble-bass hook of Sleezy's "Wait" to the spliced, diced vocal chops and clattering two-steps of Bad Habit's "Trying Times" via the much darker, almost acid house vibe of Jonah's 4/4 bass juggernaut "Hazmat", this collection neatly joins the dots between post dubstep bass music, dark house and garage with a vision that will still sound sharp in years to come. Welcome to the future.
