Review: Scottish soundboys Bryan and Batosz follow in the footsteps of My Nu Leng, Hostage, Distro and Transcode with their 877 label debut. Three tracks of premium bass that lend themselves perfectly to tech, deep, breaks, house and dubstep sets, it's an all-out dancefloor demolition; "Kosa" rumbles with understated warped low end messages and an unrelenting kicks, "Conduct" is all about the dagger-sharp steps while "Fallout" hammers home with a 4/4 so crunchy, toxic and industrial environmentalists are rumoured to be setting up a petition to ban it. Good luck to them.
Review: After appearances on Bear Fresh and the now sadly defunct Trouble & Bass, Glasgow pair Mr. Beeb and Fault Lines bring their Klient project to Leeds label Tessellate. Overseen by Corporal F, Tessellate has swiftly established itself within the bass music community and this trio of trademark darkside rollers from Klient can only assist in the label's ascent. Lead cut "Intent" sets the tone nicely, sharp bass lines viciously swerving around the channels amidst some superbly chopped up rhythms. "Vultures" offers a further example of their clear prowess for bassline manipulation - just wait for that drop - whilst final cut "Generator" features that man Corporal F behind the mixing desk too.
Review: Big, beautiful and bouncy aren't usually words that describe garage-influenced deep house, but that's exactly what the original version of "Harem" is. The brainchild of Klient aka Mr Beeb and Fault Lines, it's a sincere nod towards those grimy garage days while remaining crispy clean and ready for the present. With a Scullious-esque gritty house remix and a deeper, darker take from Dosage on the other side, this is a must for anyone on a mixed electronic/house/garage tip. As the old saying goes, some two-step a day helps you work, rest and play.
