Review: To celebrate their consistently growing empire, the team over at Artikal Music UK have unveiled this awesome new collection for their loyal fans to enjoy, sourcing 14 original steppers rollers from some of the best in the dubstep game. We are immediately gifted a wickedly wide range of steppers originals, from the warm sub work of Mystic State's 'Ever Further Dub', to the more party-driven drums of 'Tribal Alien' from Legion and the squelching sub squeezes of MYTHM's 'Dead City'. This is an LP that truly celebrates how varied and unique dubstep music can be, with our standouts including the super-clean sub work of 'Vanquisher' from head-honcho J:Kenzo, next to the sweetly syncopated drums and haunted harmonies of Cimm's 'Deep Red'. What a collection this is!
Review: As always with Wheel & Deal, we are in for an absolute treat on this one as see the gnarly production styles of Unkey join forces with unmistakable vocal prowess of Slowie for 'Disrespect'. This one has such a unique flavour from the off, combining the subtleties of Unkey's stripped back bass design and minimal drum pressures with Slowie's fabulous use of pocket-aware flows and energetic performance to give us one of the strongest dubstep vocals of the year. This one also comes complete with Unkey's top notch instrumental version to round off another successful Wheel & Deal outing.
Review: For the seventh edition of the extremely versatile Foto Sounds catalogue additions, we see the label welcome the enigmatic sounds of Unkey, a Bristol-based producer with a rich history of top quality multi-genre releases. This time around he unleashes some long awaited dubstep fire, kicking off with the gnarly bass roles and constantly shifting soundscapes of the title track 'Cobra Club; before 'Wind Dancer' unleashes some powerful reesey goodness with a hard hitting feel, complete with eastern-inspired melodic slides and powerful percussive arrangements. Finally, we are given the VIP mix of 'Listen', which unleashes some moogy bass action on a much stricker half-time rhythm, adding a final twist to the direction of the EP as a whole.
Review: We have been keenly awaiting the return of Unkey, who is ready to take off a few heads with this brand new three track care-package, courtesy of Drop Foto Sounds. We kick off firstly with a look at the minimal LFO structures and subtle sub pressures of 'Baggage Drop', an industrial 140 weapon. Next, we leap into the stuttered rhythms and lethal synth leads Ruff's 'VIP' mix, sure to cause a ruckus in any rave. Finally, the shiting bass tones of 'Barrage Balloon' provide us with another tasty addition, rounding off this EP in style and welcoming Unkey back with a real impact!
