Review: Dubstomp 2 Bass is another of those very consistent and prolific jump-up labels that just generally tends to release some of the naughtiest cuts from that side of the scene around. RD is on the imprint this time and Bally Gangs features murky tones on all four cuts, each of them dripping with the type of energy that's made jump-up so popular at the moment. Our favourite is probably 'Don't Wanna', a gargling tune that squelches its way around the range, undercut by a skippy but forceful percussive line. The title track is another highlight, a forceful but creative drum section underpinning a wavey amalgamation of bass force. More good work from these guys.
Flashback FM - "Feelin'" (Readsense remix) - (5:20) 174 BPM
Review: As if the LA label didn't pick up enough fresh talent on their regular single releases, Soul Deep's Unsung Heroes album ups the ante even more with legions more future headliners. Now a regular event on the Soul Deep schedule, each album rattles and hums with innovation, this ninth episode included. Highlights include the velvet string swoops of Cnof's "Lost Soul", the dusty pianos, clicky rhythm and husky soul of "She Takes No Passenger", the immersive waves of introspection on Viewer's "Strange Fruit", the filtered funk frenzy of Readsense's remix of Flashback FM's "Feelin'" and plenty more. Essential for those who can't quench the thirst for freshness, Soul Deep consistently deliver.
Review: If old school Prodigy basslines and Wu Tang samples is something that will light up your night, then don't look past K Motionz's "Tang Clan". Konvict Dee combines liquid drum and bass with growling synths in "Badman", while DJ Masta's remix to Pest's "DROP IT" is gnarly. Distortion, syncopation, but most importantly - groove - dominates Rd's "Ku Yung Fi", and last is the futuristic laser fighting off Pest's "The Room".
