Review: Lynx on Doc Scott's ThirtyOne imprint... Need we say more? Not really but it would be rude not to acknowledge just how good both these tracks are. 'This Is Not An Exit' is a great set opener with its tense, creepy intro and cat-like groove that prowls along with grace and stealth. 'Not You' takes things to even starker places as we're showered with bright yearning chords but anchored with an oozing low end and a sharp springy finger clicking riddim. Subtle but savage; classic Lynx.
Review: Joining dots between two sounds that came from the same mindset and very similar streets and cultural context, Influence Records have curated something incredibly special here with 'Diaries From Detroit'; a VA collection boasting some of the most talented names across the D&B generations from Seba to Conrad Subs. All exploring those cold futuristic aesthetics that both jungle and Detroit techno share, highlights can be found at every twist and turn but you'd be crazy not to check the likes of subtleties and immense subs of A Audio's 'Mercury', the ice cold grumbles of Lynx's 'De-Tro' and the shimmering dub techno influences on L-Side's powerful 'Point Of View'. What a collection.
Review: Lynx is the definition of experienced, both as a solo producer and as an artist & label founder on his own Detail Recordings. Those talents shine through on this single on Aaron Jay's Influence label, and this single shows the two sides to his personality; the A-side, 'Phukalupe' featuring Danger D & Spikey T, hits hard but in a subtle manner, as a huge groaning bassline plods along with a combination of weight and nonchalance. The flip, 'Under The Stars' featuring Jakobi & Kagey is old-school liquid vibes and it reminds us a tad of DJ Marky, especially as the earlier funk stabs give way to bouncing basslines that are tailor made for the club - proper tune this.
Review: Lynx isn't a name that we would immediately associate with Serum & Benny V's Souped Up label, but the long-time producer and owner of Detail Recordings has used his experience and diversity of sound to come out with an absolute corker of a single. 'Rap Dude' has been produced in tandem with fellow Detail artist Kusp, and the pair have come out with a frantic number that wraps a wallowing bassline around a catchy sample, a tried and tested formulae for clubland euphoria that works incredibly well here. The flip is a Lynx-only production with one of the sickest beat patterns we've heard in a long, long time; a stomping percussive display of pure force that grabs you by the scruff of the neck and doesn't let go. Serum and Benny have flipped the script once more.
