Altercation (The Remixes)
Review: Crimewave's Altercation focused on the dangerous side of nightlife in the north of England - now these remixes add further resonance to the original material. While the 96 Back remix of "50 Rapid" retains a dreamy undercurrent, the Deft take on "Aftermath" pushes in a different direction. Led by a moody bass and chattering percussion, it seethes with understated menace. On the Folly Group interpretation of the same track, a similar sensibility prevails, albeit at a slower pace. Funereal beats and brooding bass sound track this death-paced version. Meanwhile, the Not Fit For Purpose remix of "Metropolitan Police" features sirens wailing in the background, but the dreamy vocal samples and hazy textures provide some reprieve from the grimy reality of violent, blood-spattered streets.

Unreal Nausea
Review: Chris Coupe and Chris Watson's first album as FYI Chris, last year's Earth Scum, was a thrillingly imaginative, impossible to pigeonhole affair that effortlessly blended elements of ambient, hip-hop, bass music, jazz, post-punk, peak-time house, bleeping electro and much more besides. There's a similarly boundary-blurring feel to Unreal Naseau, a follow-up EP packed with high-grade musical treats. Opener 'Things To Do' is a dusty, jazzy and hypnotic twist on dubby deep house that keeps building in intensity throughout, while 'Hair of the Dog' sees the pair wrap ultra-dreamy chords, acid bass and star fall electronics around a sweaty, percussion-laden Latin beat. Elsewhere, 'Orange Wednesday' is a drum-heavy peak-time workout peppered with sharp bleeps and spaced-out samples, and 'Terrarium' blends ambient techno, dubby deep house and glassy-eyed electronica.

Deft 1s
Review: Whenever Commodo comes to town, it's time to stop what you are doing and find a speaker box immediately, with this unmissable Black Acre drop once again proving why his sound is so highly respected. We begin with 'Deft 1's', a gnarly title track focussing on haunted guitar riffs, sweeping subs and perfectly crunchy drum textures, before the more experimental tempo and rhythms of 'Forester' take us on an entirely different type of thrill ride, focussing on blippy drum sounds and an almost D&B sense of rhythm. Finally, the knee-jerking melodic twangs and grizzly bass inversions of 'Living Bones' give us one last dose of Commodo weight, before signing off this masterclass in style.

Earth Scum
Review: Coming up through labels like Church, Rhythm Section International and now Black Acre, FYI Chris - aka Chris Coupe & Chris Watson - do Peckham proud with the release of their debut LP. Traversing acid, post-punk, jazz, techno and weirdo house, Earth Scum's 12 tracks, it's been said, play, "on cultural references and close connections - from their adored local hub Rye Wax and features Mancunian punk poetry from Thick Richard and grass-roots collaborations with fellow South Londoner, MC Pinty." With a strong spoken word, at times nihilistic approach, to poetry taking hold, the album also includes collaborations with Simeon Jones and highlights from the album include "Tempora", "Outie feat. DJ Morris", "Green Paraquet" and album closer "Scum Of The Earth feat. Thick Richard".

Stakeout
Review: A producer to go down in the folkloric pages of the UK's deep dubstep and soundsystem culture through releases on label like Deep Medi, Hotline Recordings and Black Acre, it's the latter that's housed the producer's darkly motifs and sub frequencies this last half-decade. Stakeout provides a follow up to this year's already lauded Loan Shark EP, with Stakeout here offering heavily swung percussive fields, dubbed out synths and reflections of new music experimentalisms in " Transit" alongside the subterranean rhythms, amplifier gristle and expletive samples of "Crooked Law". With the EP seemingly playing with masked themes of jungle warfare that sits somewhere between the smokey hip hop of Cypress Hill and the Prodigy's "Minefields", Commodo once again pulls the mask down and goes deep behind enemy lines in the title-track with a touch of strangeness and funk.
