Review: Samurai Breaks debuts on Forest Biz with his third release to date, and we have to say that his particular strain of beat-driven bass music is becoming more and more addictive by the week. Pick N Mix is a perfect representation of both his skills and style, mashing up all sorts of East Asian influences together with rough, percolating beats from the depth of the UK hardcore spectrum. Broken, jagged, lagged-up and bassed-out, this is the gnarliest form of UK-steppin' that we've heard in donkey's years, and it forms what is likely to be a long and prosperous road ahead for Samurai Breaks. Large up!!!
Review: We love us some super clean bass music here at JunoDownload, and that is exactly what we have stumbled upon here as SBSTRD lands on Meanbucket for a twelve track rinseout, exploring multiple different exciting areas of bass as a whole. From the incredible soundscaping of 'Anhedonia' and high energy juke rolls of 'In Love', to the shuffling break drums of 'Coolie Dip' and experimental 140BPM flavours of 'Stop', this one really does take us on one hell of a journey. For us the real stand out single from the whole project had to be the super grimey flips and unpredictable drum arrangements of 'Maxwell Trak', which features Maxwell and promises to give you some serious on-set energy.
Review: Well hello there Shades, it's been a while... Understandable, really, considering both Perez and Eprom's solo careers. And considering the insane levels of production at play. Weirded-out vibes and twisted designs like this don't appear from nowhere - these guys are pushing each other to the limit here. It's clear from the updated version of their 2015 entry track "Chiron" as the textures are even more unique and the bass even more sabre-toothed. Elsewhere "Sleaze" is a gritty, oily, 23rd century robot porn-flick soundtrack, "Creeper" is the sound of machine revolting in harmony while "K.S.P" takes all those dangerous, loin-girding sounds that first scared the dickens out of you when you first heard jungle as a kid and turbo-charges them with 21st century evil. Outstanding and untouchable.
Review: Shiny Things is next up on Vancouver based Aufect, run by the duo Greazus. He comes from dirty places on the west coast (Nelson B.C. to be precise) but with good taste - these hyphy but paced, futuristic but deeply rooted psychedelic sounds are delightfully hype at any hour. From the bass driven future beat of "Eat Money" and the deep dubstep of "Freeze", there's more variety in the form of the alien drum & bass mutation "Harambe" and the seething low end assault of "Ringing". Altogether proving that there really is something about that killer B.C. bud after all!
Pack inspired by the recent emergence of wave trap, a new genre-bending movement taking influence from phat 808-drenched old school synthwave & electro of the 80's alongside the futuristic hi-tech sounds of trap
