Review: Swamp 81 present their first ever V/A compilation and it's a solid family affair as the label's oldest and newest mates contribute some of their starkest, darkest, stripped back designs. Freshman Chunk brings forth some brilliant broken minimalism in the form of "Oun_C" and the off-beat oddities of "Tolk To Meh", legit don Zed Bias is present with the gurgling, warped-bass broken beat slinker "Chokehold" and label OG Mickey Pearce is all about the technoid fusion on "Warm Barzz" and slugged-out wriggler "Jersey". Elsewhere Paleman dishes up three mean pieces of iced soul in the form of the metallic stepper "Newun", the spiritual spatial UKG subversion "Dining & Bar" and the star-lit classic electro jam "Animus". Complete with serious pressure from Cousin and Lamont, this is a stunning statement of where the label is at and, of course, where it's taking us in the future.
