Review: There are few compilations that hold as much weight and gather as much excitement as Plastician's Terrorhythm masterclass known as 'Wavepool'. Today we take in their third official volume, which sees 33 different artists join forces for a sumptuous collection of icy melodies and glistening soundscapes, showcasing more than ever how versatile the wave sound has become. The roster is vast, as we see heavyweight wave representatives such as Kareful, Ravver, Rapture4D, Klasey Jones and even Plastician himself get involved for a truly mind blowing tracklisting. The whole project is outstanding, but if we were forced into naming highlights, the glistening arpeggios and hellish atmospheric design of 'Take Me' from Nick Neutronz immediately jumps out at us, alongside the pure euphoria of Deadcrow's 'Unity' and the big room synthesizer pressure of 'Skillit' from Brothel. Incredible stuff as per!

Review: Since the inception of Terrorhyhm, Plastician's infamy within the UK dance music scene has grown and grown, to the point at which he now sits, which is a certified legend. Through all the different phases of his career he has remained ahead of the curve, with this latest single entitled 'Wave Machine' dropping right into that pattern. The layout takes a halftime structure, with space-age synthesizer lines and trap-style drum expressions rolling it at about 130bpm, delivering an emotional punch of harmonic bliss. It's Plastician at his stripped back best and we can't get enough of it.

Review: It's always a pleasure to see new music from the legendary Plastician, a producer whose place in UK underground's history books is beyond secured. It's clear that alongside numerous live streams he has been keeping himself busy in the studio as he unveils 10 scorching new originals within his 'Deep In The Drives' LP, courtesy of his beloved Terrorhythm. The tracklisting boasts everything from the emotive harmonic structures of 'Alone Time' to the more classic grimey switches of 'Gully' and 'Magma'. Plastician's versatility is his strongest attribute, which is what makes this project so powerful, with our favourites including the old school snare chops and shifting melodic sampling of 'Resolution', alongside 'Jackal Riddim', which reworks a classic grime melody into something completely new!

Review: We are absolutely thrilled to see the return of Terrorhythm, one of the UK's most forward thinking label projects. They here return alongside label founder Plastician and relative newcomer Juche for a spicy single entitled 'ENight. Firstly, we take it Juche's euphoric original version of the track, which is driven wholeheartedly by a stunning array of rave-ready synthesizer designs, pulsating away above crispy drum textures below. At this point, Plastician arrives with his vibrant rethink of the track entitled 'ENight revisited', a very savvy garage flip of the original, focussing in on the tracks stunning vocal textures with a new set of crunchy drum designs. Awesome stuff!

Review: We were thrilled to see this one hit the shelves as the living legend that is Plastician touches down on his own, highly appreciated 'Terrorhythm' imprint for three tracks of pure fire. From the off, new school grime dons Jafro and Renz jump forward on the electrifying title track 'Anyway', providing us with some insightful flows and punchy lyricism. Plastician shows his grimey routes throughout this project as he flexes his synthy skills on 'Hit Somebody', which brings together classic grime drum and gun sounds coupled with an evil lead melody. These two tracks along with the instrumental version to 'Anyway' are sure to cause a ruckus in the rave.

Review: Croydon's Chris Reed aka Plastician tells us that his usual grime shenanigans are held back for their own release in the near future, following this current release entitled Overdue: an EP named due to the lateness of the release, as well as an ode to his two children who were born beyond full-term pregnancy. All good things are worth waiting for he says, on this ode to his wife and kids for putting up with him, and a result of his love hate relationship with music. Across these seven tracks, his dubstep roots are still audible, with a healthy influx of Wavepool/Terrorhythm influenced numbers to boot - picking up up where his last LP Beg To Differ (2007) left off.

Review: Before we give you a taster of the music within, it's imperative that we praise London's Plastician for his contribution to UK dance music; grime and dubstep in particular. The Croydon bossman was there in the early days of pre-dubstep, and his sets are still some of the best bits of DJing you'll ever here; scout his sets out on old grime blogs and you'll know what we mean. Here he is in 2016 on Terrorhythm, and his new outlook has a lot more in common with R&B and pop than with grime. "Do What You Feel" is a deep, sensual bass sweller, while "Sonic Anxiety" is one for the downtempo heads, and if you thought that wasn't deep enough, there's even a beatless remix of "DO What You Feel". Raahh...

Skepta - "Thatas Not Me" (feat D Double E/Tempa T/President T/Sox & Jaykae - remix) - (3:28) 139 BPM
Review: If any label is going to wrap up one of grime's biggest years to date, it's Butterz. Responsible for the genre's best parties and home to artists from Swindle to Faze Miyake to Terror Danjah, Butterz are one of the most consistent and creative grime flagbearers of the game. Reading like a who's who in grime (Big Narstie, Skepta, Flowdan, Stormzy, Wiley, D Double E, Sir Spyro, Plastician, Kano, Giggs and loads more) each of the 40 tracks remind us (if we needed reminding) just how well grime has annotated and soundtracked the year. Gully.

Review: Master DJ and grime pioneer, Plastician, is back after many pockets of hiatuses, and he means business, as per usual. It should be noted that while he was instrumental in the grime scene, his work was equally important for the development of dubstep over the years. This latest tune, "Sorcery", comes on Terrorhythm, and it's deeper than his usual stuff, where sparse gunshots blow off from docile, starry synths and low-swinging bits of sub-bass. It's deeper and less immediate than his usual material, but it's executed sublimely.

Review: Dub Police's MyStyle mix series has become a force to be reckoned with in dubstep, an annual showcase from some of their most exciting artists, each outing appears deeper, more involving and widescreen than the last. The Others has clearly gone to town here with a whole heap of his productions and collaborations. For mix lovers this is a must; 28 tracks all seamed together tightly, it explores the darkest corners of the scene with a brave boldness. Those looking for individual tracks will also be pleased to see the likes of Icicle's techno-like industrial VIP "Need A Job", Sleeper's disturbing "Civil War" and Thelem's tripped out mind-twister "Haunted Harmonics". Stylish, sonically arresting and consummately accomplished, The Others has represented himself with serious skills right here.

Review: The Plastician remix series comes to a close with a trio of currently hot names from the contemporary bass music scene reworking tracks from the grime pioneer's 2004 Cha EP. Young Echo members Kahn & Neek arguably do the best job, delivering a bouncy, string-laden revision of "Search" that makes much of the original stabs, vocal hits and bassline. Also impressive is Wen's revision of "Shallow Grave", which offers up an off-kilter scurry through dubstep and bass house pastures complete with church bells and spooky vocal hits. Mak and Pasteman's bouncy, synth-laden UK house interpretation of "Search" completes a solid package.

Review: Plastician continues flexing back to the past with future fusion on this second part of his Plasticman Remixed series, dusting off the parts to his foundational fire and sharing them liberally among some of the most exciting names in the game. Highlights flicker and flip from every rub; the elasticity of Kendo & Gunkst's bubbles and rolls, the uncompromising rusty grunts and metallic menace of Patrick Brian's version, Mojo's careful balance of scuffed skanks and hands-in-the-air positivity, the naked sinewy UKG vibe of Roska and the unashamed star-gazing, almost Kraftwerkian vibes of The Others remix. Remixes don't come with much more bass heritage and creativity as these.

Review: Rewinds don't get any mightier than this: Plastician dusts off some of his oldest project files and shares them around some of the most exciting names in contemporary bass possible. The result is a flashback of stark futurist proportions. AWE throws down some of the deadliest kicks ever to be squeezed from an 808 on "Safari", Starkey chows down on some serious spluttering cuts on his ghetto gritty take of "Pump Up The Jam", Mr Mitch subverts "White Gloves" into a dreamy mesh of cascading melodies and sludgy halfsteps, N Type and Surge slurp directly from the dubstep geyser on "Hard Graft" while Inkke gets jiggy on his upbeat jitterbug flex of "Section 7". The first of three ace remix packages lined up from his album, you're guaranteed to be rewinding these all summer long.

Review: In the wake of all this grime business blowing up at the moment, it seems an apt time be delving into this compilation of early Plastician jams from a time before Mr Hawtin forced him to change his name. Coming at the emergence of dubstep when it was also called sublow or sometimes just grime, it's a thrilling reminder of the possibilities that were opening up in gritty urban electronic music at the time. With a primal approach and that icy minimalism that made the early material so exciting, there's not a duff moment in earshot across the whopping 21 tracks included here, and they've all been remastered for maximum contemporary impact. What more could a bass lover ask for?

Review: Rinse FM's dark dubstep/grime and garage hero returns with a new seven tracker on Trouble & Bass, "Bad Like Us" is pure SL-2 'On A Ragga Tip" retro hardcore rave featuring MC Doctor. "Senate" couldn't be more different: being a cool and slick orchestral hip-hop number. "Pwnd" goes darker and slower: featuring buzzy bass drones and sparse beats. Finally MC Doctor returns to wrap things up with "Rebel Music" which is a synthy lighters-in-air anthem.

Review: Plastician, master of the punishing bassline, returns with his ominously entitled Straight Outta Croydon EP on Terrorhythm. Kicking off with aptly named title track "Hard Kore", it's like skullstep meets dubstep, as smashing kicks, rumbling subs, chopped up vocals and razor sharp snares reverberate and clash against one another in this violent cacophony of sound. "Plasbar" sees our man Plastician tune into a synth-led, purple wow-turned-nasty-esque sound, with shimmying synth lines, pounding bass and high pitched SFX forming a melody above the thuds and kicks. Powerful stuff here.

Review: Plastician's '08 debut album gets revisited. Coming straight outta Croydon with the gnarliest beats imaginable, the legendary dubstep/grime pioneer brings us such iconic anthems as "Intensive Snare" featuring the agile lyrical prowess of East London's Skepta which is all "high hats, treble and bass!" alongside such rambunctious riddims as "Real Things" which brings in Frisco, Chronic, Tempz and Esco as well. Elsewhere, things get more dubbed out (see "Hocus Pocus" or "Shallow Grave") and mournful and melodic, like breathtakingly beautiful "Japan" which concludes the album. An outstanding body of work and an essential for dubstep heads new and old.
