Review: South West Riddim is a drum and bass label and event, based out of Exeter. Having already launched their imprint with EPs from Chakhan and a split release with Arlo & Ellm earlier this year, South West Riddim fully arrive with a beautifully curated compilation, which is in no doubt on the way to getting fully rinsed out by the soundsystem culture they represent. With pumping numbers coming through the soulful breaks of Bokeh's "Watch The Way" and Pattern's tight line dub in "M32" - ferocious hardcore, jungle, and rave motifs keep it real in Guzi's "Stavro". Next up are the tear-out and hyperfluorescent breaks of Meridian's "Respect Is Due", some stripped back and nefariously heavy jungle in DJ Gaw's "Style" - a serious tip with the added touch of Trafic MC - with more explosive dub-steppers coming from Bruk's "Whopp Dem". Cap this off with "How Can I Be" and send your next block party into hyperspace.
