Review: Morten_HD has only released one single through Visual Disturbances, thus far, but it hasn't taken the artist long to establish a concrete selection of ethereal bass sounds. Lying somewhere between grime, electronica, and the totally surreal, Morten_HD paints a foreboding picture of dance music, one that spews sinister sounds recalling the medieval. His latest release is an LP - out through Apothecary Compositions - and it's a chilling journey down the deepest, darkest abysses of bass music. Throughout its fourteen segments, it is clear that HD's inspirations come form the archaic and the gothic, with almost every tune containing elements of the ancient, whether through its baselines, or pads and chords. Imagine a world in which grime was made and played during the Black Ages, and you're almost there. Chuck in little bit of a DMZ sensibility and you're on a home run. Fresh and mind-bending. Check it.

Review: Mystical and mysterious sub-beats, presumably from the US but.. Who knows? The dark, atmospheric and junglised dubstep of the "Throwing Snow Interpretation" is epic in its execution, while "Minotaur" is a dark industrial soundscape that's not for the faint of heart. The ambience of "Wolff" in Morkebla's translation is chilling, while for something a bit more floaty and full of bass there's Strict Face's rework of "Quills" - and for some further low end therapy check out Silkersoft's remake of "Ballad Of The Shadowprince". Some worthwhile variations of Druid's previous work on offer on this release.

Review: Two originals, two remixes, two co-labs: "Dualities" is a more than handsome collection of sounds that expresses the skillish signatures of the individuals and their strength in numbers. Both the title track and B-Ju's "Kids On Fire" are a defiant homage to jungle's robust roots and its intrinsic relationship with juke music. Deeper into the set we're stunned by smoky Slohmo-style bass swings ("Red Vines") and skippy, jazzed-out D&B drama on Ticklish's "Jealousy". Dualities? Quadruplicities more like.

Review: Having previously emerged with a 12" release on Bad Taste and a download on Secret Songs, Druid Cloak now steps up to deliver a new release for Apothecary Compositions fusing a whole range of styles from grime to footwork via a predilection for spooky imagery. "Wraithborne Falls" comes to life with orchestral bombast before whipping into a rapid-fire melee of sample triggering, while "Quills" is a slower if no less lively cut with a touch of trap in its rhythmic structure. The dramatic strings come on heavy throughout the min album, stringing together a variety of tempos to make for a cohesive and rather haunting release.

Review: Four slick footwork grooves and remixes from Om Unit and Addison Groove - Apothecary Compositions are clearly in a generous mood today! Each of the originals surges beyond the usual confines of footwork with fresh ideas and twists such as the early rave/hardcore blasts on "Juxtapose" and the rainbow sample choppery on "Strut". Naturally the remixers pay the utmost respect to the Norwegian producer: Om Unit lays down his unique blend of haunted, sharp-slice amens while Addison Groove guarantees to hypnotise with deviously dark loop magic. Sick.
