Review: The Deep Dark & Dangerous team have always shown a lot of respect for the Ternion Sound boys, who once again return in blistering form with this super crunchy collection. First up, 'Clutch' takes the title role, formulating metal-infused guitar synths and aerated backdrops, before the unorthodox sound design of 'Tralfamadore' sends us down an entirely different side-street of syncopated madness. From here, the tap dancing melodic dips of 'Let Me Out' are unleashed across a seriously eerie backdrop, before we trip and slide into another ditch of delightful unorthodox synthesiser design, as high pitched LFO's are left to run wild a top a mean sub line and delicate drum textures. Excellent work!
Review: Over the past few years, there haven't been many labels or dubstep-centric projects who have been able to keep as up to date with the scene as a whole then the legendary Duploc. They came together for this new compilation project with the title 'Identity Of Dubstep', exploring the best of their previous creations. There's no doubting this one's potent tracklisting, which features corkers from the archives with artists such as ENiGMA Dubz, Juss B, SBK, Surreal, Ternion sound, Dalek One & more providing fearsome additions. As this is a compilation to celebrate the full depth of the label's catalogue, we felt it important to highlight tracks that may slip past people, with our favourites including the grizzly LFO expressions of Sweepa's 'The Circle', alongside the wonky rhythms and downright dirty bass designs of Sam Cosmic's 'Stickin Ona Rock', which again explores the more raucous side of the dubstep spectrum. A fantastic anthology of dubstep flavour.
Review: Johnny Foreplay, Apparition and Nostalgia's collective force continues to thrust through 2018; following seismic sessions on Duploc and Dunk N Dirty Dubz comes this precision three piece on Chestplate. Taking us on a perfect trip through the most exciting corners of modern dubstep, the US trio kick off with a powerful rubber ball bass instant reload shockout that is "Hopeless" before getting all weirded out and theatrically dystopian on "Loft Dub" before being bid adieu by "Morgawr" a twinkling rolling wonder that perches high up on the wave scale. Hopeful.
