Review: New Swamp 81 this week courtesy of Mancunian DJ/producer Korzi. Been There, Bun That is a continuation of sounds produced recently for Left, Right & Centre or Bone Idol; there's seriously tough UK flavoured bass workouts like "Off Peak", the deep medi psychedelia of "Airfoil" and the off-kilter hypnotic techno of "Call & No Response"- altogether representing the wide range in this ascendant producer's sonic repertoire.
Review: What an interesting selection we find ourselves perusing here as Left, Right & Centre unveil this top quality new four track selection, showcasing some of the most forward thinking sounds in bass music. We begin with unorthodox rhythmic designs, wailing vocal sampling and warbling bass textures of Henzo's 'Duck & Pancakes', before Heritage and Delo provide us with a heads down bass slap, packed with metallic drum goodness. Next, the delicate percussive grooves of Josh Scott's 'Metropol'' are introduced to the selection before finishing off with the techy-inspired drum alignments and pulsating synthesizer drills of 'Drifting Off'. Amazing work from the Left, Right & Centre team!
Review: Jumping Jelly Beans! The JBF fam aren't messing around here. After two major compilation album releases they now dive deep into the EP oceans with this slick and stripped-back broken funk collection from Manchester's House Jacking affiliate Korzi. "Tempest" is a serpentine spell, slithering around in the sub low shadows while "Sound Freq" rolls out with icy synth blasts, intoxicating percussion and a downpitched vocal sample that's not dissimilar to Josh Wink during his golden age. "Primal" ups the pressure further with pneumatic kick/hi-hat combinations and a bassline so creepy it should come with a medical warning. For added dankness hit Cloaka's relentless techno twist remix. Feeling Jelly yet?
Review: Jelly Bean Farm is a new label intent on delivering all kinds of bass and techno goodness to the world. They don't mess about either, beginning life with big, hefty compilations. This, one, Jelly Bean Farm - Exit, is no different: presenting 12 of the most forward-facing cuts around. Highlights include the moody synthwork and machine gun percussion of "Locate & Destroy" by Phrixus, the spacey tech meets drum frenzy of "Dat Dat" by Loss, the deep, minimal beats of "Turbine" by Henry Greenleaf and the alt-ghetto grooves of "Facile" by Kinsman. Dope sounds!
