Review: Easily one of the most justifiably hyped men in D&B right now, Hyroglifics steps up to the mighty Critical with three boundary-smelting slabs of contemporary jungle. "Bay City Ballers Club" is driven almost exclusively by a robust bassline and steppy, sliced up amen magic. "Killamanaman", meanwhile, takes us deeper into the spacy, stuttering half-tempo drama that the likes of Om Unit and Sam Binga have been dealing of late. Complete with a dual demonic narrative from both the vocal and the middy bass, it's an instant damager. To ensure a strong sense of completion, the final cut is a lush, star-gazing LA beat style wonk-out with bendy synths, far-away vocals and an overwhelming sense of dreaminess. Stunning.

Review: Nikki Nair's last outing for Dirtybird, last year's Power Tool EP, was a weighty, excitable dance through speaker-busting dancefloor heaviness that variously doffed a cap to B-more breaks, wobbly dubstep, two-step garage and downtempo synth-pop. There's a similarly energetic, fusion-fired feel to this similarly impressive follow-up, with Nair bouncing between sub-heavy two-step/deep house fusion (the rather good 'It Goes'), mutilated experimental drum & bass (the lo-fi treat that is 'Socket'), woozy breakbeat oddness ('Something', which sounds like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher after a bunch of happy pills) and skittish, all-action ghetto-tech sleaziness ('Want To You').

Review: Detroit electro icon DJ Godfather returns this week with the latest release on his ever reliable Databass imprint. "Hold Up" is next in a series of 11 EPs and sees him collaborate with Chicago booty bass pioneer DJ Deeon. This is the guy who laid down the foundations for what Godfather would soon expand upon with his explorations in the 'ghettotech' sound. Needless to say, the results make for one seriously down and dirty dancefloor workout. Elsewhere, the hi-tech soul beats of "Let's Talk Some Jit" equally satisfies, as does the emotive mood music of "Shake Them" and the in-your-face bass attack of closing cut "Squo?"

Review: The real deal out of Chicago and embedded within the footwork elite - for real - DJ Manny crosses the Atlantic to drastic effect once more by arriving with an exceedingly fine album for Planet Mu. There's something unexplainable about this work, and perhaps a fitting word is substance, but it doesn't take long to realise that Signals In My Head will be something special to appreciate in the years to come. With such a deep, eclectic and inspiring sound, Manny himself expresses that Signals In My Head was a push to, "do something that nobody (in Footwork) had ever done before which is an R&B love type of album but still keeping it footwork, juke, house, techno, with a few breaks.". Heavy where it needs to be, full of soul and a touch of edge - true heads this is for you. Undeniable and super inspiring sounds.
