Review: Following on from the recent launch of White Peach's new vinyl website scheme, they are back at it again with yet another top quality drop from Opus, who really struggles not to hit the back of the net it would seem. The title track 'This Damn Feeling' sets the tone perfectly with it's glum, chiming introduction and super-sidechained sub pulses that sit atop a sharpened sitar-like synthesizer line. From here, 'Day & Age' delivers another glistening sub-heavy masterstroke, before the moody bass LFO's and eerie upper textures of 'Ghost' prepare to bust open the first sound system they can find. Finally, 'Renegade' sends the release completely leftfield with a wonky half-time experiment, glued together by epic string work and an irresistible lead synth that packs one hell of a punch!
Review: Sentry Records has put together some serious releases over the last few years, showcasing the latest and greatest in dubstep and its surrounding genres. We are therefore introduced to and absolutely storming compilation here as we reel off bangers from the likes of dubstep legends such as Caspa, Truth, Sukh Knight, Youngsta and more. For us, the highlights of this incredible compilation are quite clear, kicking off with the stunning production of 'Judas' from Nomine, who brings forward his uniquely metallic sound design on mass. Another absolute heater we couldn't forget is the spooky yet satisfying 'Crocodile' from Dayzero, packed with wicked drum flavours and haunted overtones.
Review: Aerotonin and Opus both recently appeared on Jelly Bean Farm's Enter compilation, and they got on so well that they've struck up a studio relationship; the product is a four-track bass monster that ticks all the bass boxes. "Extraction Point" is a bouncy, old-school kind of broken beat with a 4Hero sort of flex, and the same can be said for Opus' own "Mass", a break-led beat bomb for the heads. Aerotonin's "Marble Separation" is a darker, more cavernous affair that taps into what we like to refer to as the 'cerebral' side of dubstep, but the duo pick up the momentum through the collaborative "Communicate", a sleek, mechanical banger that reminds us of Ed Rush's early material.
