Review: D&B supergroup SaSaSaS continue their Unite series with another wedge of wallopers from an exciting range of talents on the fourth instalment of their massive 'Unite' series. What began as a mixtape last month is now being released as tracks for your own sets. Each dispatch has been fire, this edition being no exception. Highlights range from the glitchy swing and bars of Konetix's 'Transcendent' to Harley D's rattling bassline hype-raiser 'Next Level' via A:dan's powerful synth blazer's 'Intensions'. The full range of flavours - this is the sound of a united drum & bass. Watch out for the final instalment coming soon.
Review: Ben Snow's Catch 22 label continues to do bits for the D&B new-gen as it launches another VA EP into the ether. All brand new artists, all forward-thinking bangers, we kick off with Bristol artist A:dan with the addictive riff-loaded 'Elevate' before Konetix's 'Awaken' hits hard with a pulsating warped-out bassline while Stillz & Zeba rip things up with a tunnelling harmonic bassline. Finally we roll out with the slinky creeper 'Halo' from Teezy. Tension set to max, all sides of the genre are represented right here.
Review: Encrypted Sound haven't been around for that long and this is their fourth release, but the maturity is already evident in their selection and what better way to show that off than with a twelve-track VA LP. Joining the fray is a range of artists including Able,Teej and Toby Ross, the latter of whom has smashed it out the park with 'Sinister', a stripped back and infectiously bouncy tune that nonetheless hits beautifully hard, it's kick drum perfectly placed to add that extra lift off. Teej has been killing it on labels like Co-Lab recently and he does so once more again, with 'Erasure' resting on an inch-perfect snare drum that provides the base for its choppy main bass. Top work from the whole crew here.
