Review: Man like Trex! One of the most consistent and realest members of the D&B community, the Trust Audio bossman kicks off 2024 in the wildest of styles with 'Wildstyle', his biggest Sofa Sound EP so far. Five cuts in total, each track flexes that grimy, underground intense sweaty vibe Trex has forever been pushing. Already big in the sets of DLR, Trex and many others, all of these cuts hit the dance hard but if you're pushing us for favourites then we're always going to shout about the VIP of 'Do Nothing'. What a vibe, what an energy. Trex knows what time it is!
Review: Man like Trex on Doc Scott's seminal ThirtyOne? Now this is what we like to see! Naturally, as you'd expect from such a partnership, the best of the best is on offer across the spectrum. 'One For The Road' and 'Hypnosis' both hit with that classic woozy swagger that Trex is best known for, 'Footnote' has a little sweet skanking charm to it while 'Moonshine' (with Benny V) takes us into classic mid/late 90s Total Science territory. Spacey, wobbly and loaded with more euphoria than a year-long trance convention. This is the business. But we didn't expect any less.
Review: Nuusic are busy being absolute monsters right now, subjecting us to a slew of heavyweight releases from some of the most exciting young artists in operation at present. Next up: Rise. A man who lives up to his name, Rise has featured on a number of labels including Onyx, Classified and Liondub to name a few but right now all eyes and ears on this stunning collection that ranges from delicious rave vibes ('In Your Arms') to groaning, monster dancefloor mutations ('Intertwined') Complete with a crucial Trex remix, this is a massive buy-on-sight situation.
Review: Winner of the Best Newcomer Label in the Drum&BassArena Awards last year, Onyx celebrate two years as a full legit label with this excellent 20 track retrospective collection featuring some of the most exciting and forward-thinking names in new-gen D&B. From Jam Thieves to Hoax, AC13 to T95, Trex to DJ Gaw, Invert Era to Lavance, the tracklist reads like the line-up of any contemporary D&B connoisseur's dreams and it sounds like one too. Highlights include Hoax & Skantia's electrifying 'Space Invaders', Invert Era's thundering 'LND' and Kontakt's sublime 'Shotcaller'. A great place to get up to speed or fill any gaps in your collection, Onyx deserve all the props they get right now.
Review: Trex dusts off his shovel and tags in a whole team of Gs as they forage for gold in the grit. 'Undergrowth' is an instant treasure trove as Rider purrs over a stealthy but venomous bassline. Dig deeper: 'Scene' gets the oil drill out and strikes thick gooey bassline gold while 'Need U' goes fracking and pipes up an icy, shivering, breezy heads-down showdown. Deeper again: 'Answers' takes us to the core as heavyweights Teej and Pastry Maker join Trex to answer any queries you might have about the subterranean world while T>I rolls out the bulldozer for a final forage as he twists up 'Scene' into a high voltage excavation. Can you dig it?
