Review: Danish bass expert RDG steps into the grimelight with this new EP for the dread Circle Vision imprint, and "Tiger Style" is the first gunshot of the four-track bombshell, complete with a buzzing bassline worthy of any true dubstep rave; "Sky Pulse" follows up nicely with its sparse beat structure and 3D bass frequencies worthy of some sci-fi animation. "Dagobah", taken from the Star Wars ecosystem, rattles forth with an almighty dubwise feel that would surely go down a storm in any serious ode to Jah. Causa's remix of "Tiger Style" is a slower, more lingering stealth weapon with plenty of menacing sub bass. YES.
Review: RDG's Circle Vision creeps up from behind and surprises us with their first V/A EP. Satisfaction levels remain fully flexed as the whole collection is a shoes-off, brain-blown and hair-raised affair throughout: Causa bends minds with a really tripped out bass drone and drum arrangement, Taiko gets all snarly, slimy and similarly illusionary with weirded-out reverse textures and resampled. Deeper again Dark Tantrums devil up the dance with tightly coiled tension while the bossman shoots us to the stars with the spacious space-bound sub stepper "Galaxy Run". Visionary to infinity...
Review: We've got two trips to take back in time to understand the true gravitas of what's going on here... First we head back to 2012 when RDG released the bee's nest rattling original on All Out. Then we leap to 2014 when these remixes came out on limited edition vinyl. Back to the future and each one of the rerubs still sounds way ahead of the curve. Bisweed trips us out with his seasick sonics, D Operation Drop keep the 80s stabs but add a silky funk to the subs, Piezo gets the sledgehammer out while Server gets his loopy techno flex on. Trust- This will still sound future in another 2, 22 or 222 years time.
Review: Dubstep's dissonant soundtrack usually leaves us floundering in deep space but Circle Vision bossman RDG and his phantom mate K Man have composed a darker trip much closer to home... "Lost On Earth". RDG scores the first two movements: "Rise" spurts danger with the demonic tones of Sun of Selah over a jagged dubby riff while "Against Us" fuses car horns and a paranoid atonal bass riff. K Man provides closure: "Metaharmonics" takes us back to 2008 with its scuffed chrome hook while "Lavender Sky" finally takes us off this gosh-forsaken planet with rocket pads. Due to the squiggly nature of the bass our destination, however, is unknown. Happy travels.
