Review: Tommy Four Seven's label celebrates five years of releasing uncompromising techno with this fine compilation. It gets off to a clubby start with Killawatt's rumbling, tribal "Champagne Prerogative", while on "Threads", Carrier drops a Regis-style broken beat stepper that resounds to rumbling bass and ghostly textures. Meanwhile, Headless Horseman occupies the middle ground between straight techno and stepping rhythms on the multi-layered, mesmerising "Sand Mountain". NN takes this approach to its brutal, logical conclusion on the electronic feedback and cranium crushing kicks of "Deception", while the label owner teams up with Ancient Methods to deliver the pounding industrial rhythm and static crackle percussion of "XIX".

Review: Matthew Watt aka Killawatt is one of the most regular artists on 47, and 47021 is his fourth outing for the label. It's not hard to understand the appeal of his music; it's dark, visceral and highly distinctive. On "Your Face Is A Shovel", this takes the shape of thunderous kicks and growling electronic riffs, while on "Jaguar", Watt delivers a stepping rhythm that's shot through with spine-chilling orchestral strings, the mixture of grime and classical musicality proving alluring. There are no such subtleties on "Kingston Krak", with Watt relying on pounding broken beats to get his point across, while "Battle Practise" sounds like what would happen if Bad Brains turned their minds to dub step.

Review: For its 50th release, UK-based Osiris Music has rightly thought of landing with a fully-packed compilation from all corners of its vast and explorative catalogue. As a side note, it's important to say that this imprint, along with a few other key stables, has been responsible for the successful merging of the techno and dubstep worlds over the last 5 years. Ipman's broken, techno-leaning tool "Persistent Dread" is a great example of this early on, with peeps like Pessimist or MAnnic also providing some new and exciting flavours in the field. The one like Killawatt is also on duty here, bringing through some delightfully eerie industrial vibes, while Paul Mac, Sleeper, and Juno favourite Manni Dee deliver amuch needed 4/4 swing to liven the dance up. Fully-packed and loaded.

Review: The latest artist to feature on Tommy Four Seven's label is Matthew Watt, aka Kilowatt. With an extensive catalogue to his credit on labels like Osiris and Inverted, the UK producer is an ideal candidate to appear on 47. It appears that Watt is also happy to follow the same approach that has prevailed on previous releases. "Meiotic Drive" is a slamming, frenetic ghetto techno track, shot through with wild acid lines and noisy riffs. On "Mate Choice", Watt opts for an industrial-tinged variant on the stepping techno that Frozen Border specialised in, with chain mail percussion dominating, while on "Base Analogs", a more subdued version of this sound prevails. Finally, "Allelic Drift" sees Watt deliver an austere, abstract workout.

Review: Killawatt continues his long relationship with Osiris with this remix release. Bringing together some of the most respected names in left field techno, the release starts with Tommy Four Seven's version of "Zizi". Chiming bells and rickety broken beats provide a hypnotic combination that creates a haunting, ghostly mood. Eomac takes a darker tune on "Spiral Swarm", where robust beats and tick tock percussion provides the basis for swirling textures. Monic's take on "Excessive Hyperbole" sees rugged broken beats underpin eerie textures. Finally, Mannic contributes his own track, and as its title suggests, "Untitled Textures" features mysterious sounds flowing over a rolling, off-beat rhythm.

Review: Osiris Music UK head honcho Simon Shreeve returns with some more of the same brutal slabs of noise he fast become renowned for. "Contort" channels the same vibe as its coincidental namesake, Samuel Kerridge, with its sludgy downbeat techno of relentless sub bass and sinister atmospherics. The body bashing broken beat of the affectionately titled "Flustercluck" is pure sonic ultraviolence, plain and simple. Lastly "Gutter" is an unashamedly sadistic soundtrack for BDSM clubs. Listen at your own peril.

Review: Matthew Watt aka Killawatt drops his debut LP on the UK's Osiris Music. Gnarly, psychedelic techno is the name of the game here, and there's a whopping twelve tracks up for grabs. Blending everything from UK bass to dubstep and even drone, Killawatt's particular brand of four-to-the-floor is both singular and caters to just about anyone whose into menacing beats and abstract sonics. We're particularly into the choppy beats on "Spinal Swarm" and the outsider techno rhythm that is "Excessive Hyperbole". This album is absolutely brimming with quality and singularity. More from Mr.Watt, please!

Review: Sixth in the series, This Is Dubstep is one of the more comprehensive, on-point series the scene has given us (ie: many!) Across the 40 tracks every single shade is covered; from rave-tinged (Noisia's remix of "Smack My Bitch Up") to all-out technicolour bass (Drumsound & Bassline Smith), This Is Dubstep 2013 pays respect to all corners of the dance - including the really far-out experimentations of Mala and his Cuban project. With exclusives such as V.I.V.E.K's "Barcelona" and Killawatt's "Single Entity" thrown in for good measure, this isn't just a summary of today's dubstep; it's a slice of the future too.

Review: A veritable homecoming for Killawatt, whose breakthrough release came out on Wheel & Deal. After a few dark dalliances with Boka, New Moon and Box Clever, he's returned to N-Type's roost with three mean missions that will tickle many a bass monkey's tastebuds. Lead track "71" is as brooding as it gets; we're talking total sonic fog with an invigorating aftertaste of impending dread. "Rolling Dunes" adds a splash of light thanks to almost eastern-informed synth sounds and tricky drum patterns. As for the finale "Topio"? Let's just say if we had our way, he'd change his name to KillaWHAT? Deadly.

Review: If you like your beats bare and your riddims stripped back then look no further than Killawatt who delivers this with the utmost finesse and precision ion this two track EP. Using space is something he excels at in the ominous oppressiveness of "Muggy", with its rattling beats, grinding bass and pervasive sense of unease. "Anguished Light", too, builds from a sparse and absent intro, into a hypnotic, beat-driven main part with snapping snares, muffled SFX and echoing anguish.
