Review: Well, the UK's Shifting Peaks have really gone and done it with this latest leviathan of a compilation, an anthology of their best and most wanted from 2010 until now. Inside, there's talent and plenty of club antics bouncing off the wall left, right and centre; with over fifty cuts there's enough to go around and satisfy a whole artillery of bass-heads. Some of the stand-outs for us are Tessela's "Yes You Can", Hackman's "Always", "Put You Down" by Odessa, and OM Unit's remix of "Reach Out" by Nphonix. What a belter,
go forth and indulge!
Review: It sounds like N-Phonix doesn't get much sleep. The Russian producer has released nine singles over the past year, but as Benway, his debut record on Darko Esser's label shows, he retains a hyperactive creative streak. It's hard to imagine whom "Nebrakada" will appeal to, as its spacey chords unravel over a frenetic rhythmic backdrop. The title track is more accessible - if you measure accessibility by noisy, stepping rhythms and occasional blasts of noise. Following on from this Shed-meets-Lakker jam, the Russian artist drops "Black Acid". Living up to its title, it features frazzled, grungy 303s layered over a tracky, insistent rhythm.
