Review: What a link up we have here as the super creative Amit links up with the incredibly consistent production power of J:Kenzo for two tracks of heavyweight 140BPM fire. We begin with the haunted introduction of 'Acid Trip', which provides us with a spacey, bouncing arrangement, leading us towards a crescendo of jittering moogy bassline energy, topped with progressive drum expansions and a high energy groove throughout. On the flip, 'Righteous' sees the pair link up again with a more half-time feel as the lo-fi yet industrial sound drum designs and let loose amidst a dungeon-like atmosphere to provide some serious variation.
Review: Now this sure is an exciting one, as we see AMIT land on Amar for a tidy new two track project, showcasing his absolutely wizardry within the D&B bracket. The project itself is a great example of AMIT's creativity, as 'Points In Time' kicks us off with some rave-ready, hardcore inspired siren-like lead synthesizers, firing off above a constantly evolving drum arrangement below. On the flipside, we take a more dubwise path as 'Wake Dub' combines reggae dub themes with pulsating bass tones and spacey drumwork to give us another belter. Lovely stuff.
Review: Amar superstar Amit takes us to his leader with two more dynamite bass cuts. "Thakurs Army" marches us into a bleak, unforgiving future with heavily swung kicks, ricochet percussion and bass textures so gnarly you need a shower after playing it. "Taylor Dub" ups the tempo to halftime territory with a dense slo-mo stomp vibe that flickers in ghosts of jungle past in a similar way to his 2015 cut "Operator". Immense.
Review: Halftime warrior Amit returns with more skank-packed slo-mo drum & bass. "Spring Cuttah" is Amit at his warmest, sunniest and Tubbiest; weighty plodding kicks and soulful sighing sax, it's a true nodder of a jam. Remix-wise Bristolian headhunter Addison Groove mashes up last year's heavily supported halftime cut "Operator" with even more amen angularities. Incredible scenes.
Review: Finally... Someone's written a track about your mum: "Operator" is a sweet, sassy slice of modern jungle with wounding slo-mo kicks decorated with pretty splashes of amens and trimmed with delicious sub bass. "Fatty Batty" meanwhile, which is definitely not written about your mum, is a ridiculously funky contemporary bass jam with thundering kicks, cheeky horns and a groove so chunky you could feed a family of four for a year... And still have leftovers.
Review: Amit's AMAR imprint seems to be operating on a release-per-year tactic right now - all of them landing in the spring coincidentally - but with the quality as high as this, we're not complaining. "The Hunted" is a nasty techno-meets-jungle drone-march. Imagine someone punching you through tar. "Chalvey Town" is a similar slo-mo affair but with less mid-bass and more treacle-like sub and the right amount of dub elements. "Survivor" is an awesome vocal cut that's straight out of the Massive Attack playbook while "Mind Over" shows us how AMIT does tech house; all stampy and paranoid, it's the type of cut you could easily imagine the likes of Steve Bug or Villalobos playing. Four killer stories... It's up to you to find the happy endings.
