Review:
Everyone's favourite stuffed animals are back on Eatbrain with an unsurprisingly fiery EP. Teddy Killerz just pack a certain type of craziness into their music that lends itself superbly to Budapest-based Eatbrain, their tendency for super-charged basslines and raucous percussive force fitting in well with the Central European neurofunk powerhouse. Chopping Machines fits a diverse range of dancefloor sounds into five tracks; 'Chop It' features an astoundingly solid back end; 'Chopping Machines' carries a dystopic prescence with its gargling synths; and 'Afrika' delves into deeper territory with a roving sense of travel. Another top EP from the boys.
Review:
Ahead of their highly anticipated album Nightmare Street, menacing Russian genre-melters Teddy Killerz throw a left hook with this savage one tracker: classic neuro rolls, multi-layered bass textures, orchestral stabs, a dynamic second drop and a killer sample comprise to ensure this goes down strictly at peaktime and power hours. Absolute filth.

Holy sidechain, Batman. When "Demolisher", the first track on this two-parter drops, you'll certainly know about it. Teddy Killerz have been killing it on Bad Taste and ProgRAM for a couple of years now, but here they are ripping Subtitles a new one with this storming, stressful, dancefloor-destroying release. On the flip is Gridlok's take on "Demolisher" and while he retains the hugely towering feel of the original, his own stamp is made from razorwire and bits of Teddy K stuffing.
Review:
Hello! Currently smashing the jacksy out of the drum & bass scene with releases on on Bad Taste, the Russian duo prove, once again, that a stupid name doesn't mean stupid music. In fact these are so good, they fizz with the textbook tear-out breakbeat mischief Hardcore Beats first became renowned for. "The Exorcist" is the true buzz-cut. Sprung with a classic drum roll, the bass mutters all sorts of sonic swearwords into your sweet innocent ears as an eerie topline weaves a psy-like web above you. "Busted" is more your chubby bass-blusterer while "Dysfunction" takes a drive down 4/4 electro-tech drive. Naughty.
Review:
A new name has recently emerged on the ever-reliable Bad Taste Recordings and it is that of the Teddy Killerz. Comin atcha with a unique and aggressive sound that blends tech-y industrial D&B and dubstep together, this next release from them as they team up with NPhonix is just as awesome as ever. First up is title track "Scary" which, true to its name, is frightening from the off with its eerie, creeped out intro, bludgeoning beats and stabbing bass coupled with grinding mid range wobble. "Earth Shaker" is another one which does what it says on the tin with notable aplomb. A sparse intro lulls us into a false sense of security before the aggressive, warping beats kick in and the tune drops with a tumultuous wobble of bass into a thunderous dancefloor destroyer.
