Review: Oh Lord, yes! It's such a shame that the world at large mostly associates the term 'dubstep' with shockingly bad EDM and gobby Yanks with ludicrous haircuts, because as you and I both know, the genre at its best takes dub, two-step and a little bleep-style subsonic trickery, and somehow crafts them into a THC-powered vessel that'll carry you all the way from the very depths of the ocean floor to the furthest reaches out of outer space. Thankfully, Locus Sound are here to remind the world of that with a 12-track, 12-artist comp that's a red-eyed headnodder's delight from start to finish. Superb stuff.
Review: 2021 has been a fantastic year for the Locus Sound catalogue, continuously adding spicy new features and artists to the table over the course of the year. Next up from them, the third edition of their 'Various Locus Sound Compilation,' series, this time welcoming 13 new creations to ruffle any system. The tracklisting once again showcases some of the most exciting Locus regulars, including the likes of Substrada, Mistah, OSCO, E S P, Nomia Grawinkel and more. The whole project oozes dubstep-inspired originality, with the Locus sound itself being such a dungeon-driven pot of colour. There are some immediate standouts we of course have to mention, with Chad Dubz arriving on remix duty for LOTU's 'Childsplay' being one of them. Alongside this, the hypnotic chimes and haunted atmospheric design of 'Passerby Unknown' from Proove has to be mentioned, with the Spanish inspired guitar melodies and grizzly reeses of Saraphim & Senncoria's 'Midnight' being another corker we had to mention. Excellent work!
Review: We spent pretty much the entirety of 2020 praising the FKOF movement, who seem to have no limits to what they can achieve within a four-track project. This brand new drop from Mondaigai is right up the same alley as he unleashes some killer original creations, kicking off with lethal reesey bass expressions of 'Sledgehammer', followed quickly by the much quickened metallic drum smashes of 'Element'. Next, the jittering synthesizer action of 'Shockwave' gives us a sound that would cause pandemonium in any dancefloor situation, before rounding off with 'Hallelu-jah', a super syncopated stomper, smashing together pulsating percussion and hypnotic arpeggios for a magnificent finale.
