Return To TaygetaArtikal Music UK
As one of the most consistent dubstep imprints out there, seeing Artikal Music welcome the one and only J:Kenzo back is always going to be an exciting moment for any steppers fan. This time around however, it's remix season, as Kenzo invites ten guests inside for a fiery display of re-distributed energy. The project has some awesome names involved, from the likes of 140 royalty such as Boyland and Unkey, to abstract soundsmiths such as LSN and Coco Bryce, who both flip Kenzo's work into spacey junglist rollers. Our highlights would have to include the monstrous bass designs of MYTHM's 'Narky' rethink, next to the digitised funk of Mani Festo's 'Deadbull' overhaul. Awesome work!

CrumpetsWhite Peach
As always, it's time to sound the fanfare when Taiko comes to town, with this explosive new collection of colour 140 originals being truly spectacular, continuing his legacy with the legendary dubstep and grime imprint. We open up with 'Crumpets' a vibrant slap of an original, fusing purplish melodic curls with metallic 808 stabs for a truly scrumptious affair, followed by the gorgeous string plucks and shuffling rhythms of 'LM', giving us an immediate switch up across the first two heaters. From here, 'Rise Above' gives us a more breathy experiment and whistling melodies lead the way atop a squelching bassline below, with 'We Do' then giving us a more subterranean closer, doused in percussive grooves for a tidy finishing move.

Goldstone Life LP Sampler Pt. 1Nuusic
This latest Sampler pack from the Goldstone Life project sure packs a punch as Guzi, Beskar and the vocal prowess of Vitamin G join forces across two sizzling original heaters. We open up with '1 4 T', an old school crossover between original grimey rhythms and more digitised synthetic structures, driven by cold production techniques and the super skippy vocal approach of Vitamin G, toasting the track nicely. Following on from a voluptuous half time switch up, we then move into 'You Can Do It', a seriously vibrant chopper, focussing on whistling synthesiser melodies and intense 2-step drum rolls, giving us an even more punchy feeling than the A-side. Awesome work!

SNKRX011Sneaker Social Club
It's been a solid year for the team at Sneaker Social Club so far, with their stock set to continue rising with the release of this vibrant new four track display from Dog Patrol. We begin this dive with 'Non PGR', a euphoria-driven dreamwalk through distant delays and shimmering synthetics, with the Nasty King Kurl remix providing an even more spacey overhaul. From here, we flow into 'Sassafras', another bubbling crunch off, combining abstractly arranged breaks-style drums, topped with angry moogy sub stabs, with the snare heavy percussive chops of 'Creepin' then providing the outro soundtrack, forming a post-grime funk out as a wicked final closer..

FreeIncurzion Audio
It's time to enjoy some good, old fashioned, dubstep heat, as the awesome team over at Incurzion invite Tacktile to deliver another weighty gut punch of original steppers energy. We open up with the gliding 808 screws and jittering percussive sidesteps of 'Free' before 'I Died At That Bowl' opens the glitch-laiden gates of something completely different, fusing roaring synthesisers with clicky drumwork. The squelchy feelers continue to explore next as 'Ghost Train' then delivers a crunchy combination of unpredictable bass drones and drippy percussion, with the all engulfing reese bass textures of 'The Keep' giving us a tasty final chapter, showcasing the fabulous versatility of Tacktile's production palette.

Dance With The Devil1985 Music
As one of Bristol's brightest dubwise sparks, it's always exciting to see Drone return to action, this time around unloading a full length album project, courtesy of the legendary 1985 imprint. In short, it's a masterful display of sonic development, from the slower, more grungy introductory squelches of 'Cyclone' through to the face-melting synth swipes of 'Burnt Lungs' and grime drum-skips of 'The Swamp'. From start to finish, this project showcases Drone's innate ability to to deliver high energy originals, both solo and in collaboration with the likes of Alix Perez, Deft, Snowy, Emz & Nah Eerto. Our highlights have to include the juke-driven carnage of 'Jugtown' alongside Hyroglifics, which packs an energetic slap, next to the euphoric embrace of 'Always' which sees Notion join the party for a lively link up. Overall, pure awesomeness!
