Review: Four years and 20 releases deep: Frenk Dublin's Dubstep Rotterdam imprint have never been ones to swamp or saturate the genre. Quality over quantity and forever erring on the deeper, cavernous and more dangerous sides of dubstep, here the label takes a moment to reflect and remind us of their breadth so far... From the purring subs and meditative vapour trails of "The Aggressor" to the all-out jungle badness of Hajee's take on "Demon's Rhythm" by way of DWise's industrial strength concrete melting "Mushrooms", it's a fitting document that not only enforces the label's strength but its timelessness too.
Review: Barbed soul: Russian vibe weaver Sept makes his debut on Dubstep Rotterdam with two on-pont compositions that maintain a precision weight/soul balance throughout. "Relic" twists between with pneumatic kicks and almost jazz-like keys while "Born In Saint P" ripples with real dub authenticity and a proper soundsystem melting tubular bassline. Remix-wise DR bossman Frenk adds more of a classic deep dubstep sheen with all manner of reverbs and edits. Serious sub soul right here.
