Review: Few instrumental grime tracks have truly tried to create the slimy, tentacle-like toxicity of a potential alien invasion... 'Alien Invasion' doesn't picture the scene but welcomes our new outerplanetary overlords with candour. As do the other worldly bass quakes that croak like 100 starved bellies on "Hopscotch". Deeper into this gully-galvanised EP we're slapped about the gaff by raw bottom burp bass on "Onix" and given a sharp-blast two-step serenade on the appropriately titled "Gnarly". Reach for the skies.
Review: It's the third chapter of the Boxed series, which means new and refreshing bass cuts from a whole selection of new faces on the block. We know little about these youngsters, so let's just cut to the chase: Mr Mitch's "Friend Of Mine" flutters its half-step beats to a vast, distorted pool of sonics and vocal samples; "Mashman pt2" by As If Kid goes for a single-minded grime approach thanks to its traditional, London swamp-bass; JT The Goon delivers noxious levels of low frequencies around the tune's Eastern tones; Sirpixalot ties this episode of Boxed off with the pacman-grime vibes of "All In One VIP". Heavy gear.
