Review: Bossing the best frames in bass music since debut stints on Other Heights and All Caps at the turn of the last decade - Helix has become a don number 1 for Night Slugs ever since, dropping 'Greatest Hits' after 'Greatest Hits'. He does so again here but in the form of this Hi Dyanmik Range EP, bringing a fresh Atlanta sound to the airwaves that's lush and steppy while shimmering like the far off glow from Ponce De Leon Ave. Get some loose basslines and reflective synths outta "Silver Rumble" next to the more soulful, R&B, drag-race and new-age inspired "California Orange". "Arena Boogie" will help up the tension for that mellow warm up set, with "Risky Rhodez" a breathy burner of crepuscular, night driving Atalanta dread.
Review: Helix aka Beau Thigpen has been one of our Nught Slugs favourites since the time he started banging out technoid bass anthems back in 2012. Since then, he has given us nothing but fire, touching down with abrasive dance gems that work EACH AND EVERY TIME. This is the Greatest Hits Volume 3, and it kicks off with the almost hummable bassline of The Lyot Remix - an total winner from the get-go! "Pulse Tech BBL" is equally effective, except here Helix lays down some dirty industrial beats that take this form house to full-out techno UK styleee and "Spin Me Round Break V2" drops us in a weird and wonderful world of hypnotic sonics and muscly low frequencies. Warmly recommended!
Review: Helix returns to Night Slugs with his first release since 2013's "Club Constructions". Still as vital as ever, this is the first part of a trilogy of "Greatest Hits" collections. All new, all vibey; highlights include the deep-bleep radar techno stomps of "Tainted Love", the sheet metal soul of "Beat I Made In Miami", the soft-focus filtered ripples and staccato dynamic of "Fbm Flip" and the dizzying cavernousness of "DX Crowd". Great times lay ahead for Night Slugs, this sets us up very nicely for the label's 10th anniversary; Helix hits the spot.
