Mad Times EP
Didn't Stand A Chance (feat MPW) - (4:27) 58 BPM
Review: 'Mad Times' for the current chaotic era we seem to find ourselves in these days, courtesy of Jaxx. Last spotted on Calypso Muzak way back in 2019 when none of us even knew what a Covid was, he's back packing some of his juiciest, fattest, not mention sweariest, tear-ups to date. 'Mad Times' is a c-bomb hurling slab of danger that's followed by a wide range of flavours and ideas. 'Apologise To My Guy' is all about the obese bassline and minimal funk dynamics, 'New World' (with Illphaze) is a high voltage array of nutty bass tones while 'Didn't Stand A Chance' brings a little jungle fury in to the mix. Music to go mad as hell to.

Hypnotize EP
Hypnotize - (4:35) 58 BPM Hot
Review: Coming in hot with an EP that's positively deadly, Motiv lands on Calypso Muzak in stunning form. Hypnotize is aptly named because it's just that: hypnotic. There's a rawness, a depth, to its elements and every inch of the package feels carved out of urban, rough-edged stone. 'Turmoil' is the highlight of the release, with a tantalisingly good drum line that tumbles ove ritself in eagerness to mess you up, its bassline companion not far behind and just rippling with force and movement. The title track samples the classic Biggie tune and puts a junglist spin on it, whilst 'Taking Lives' rolls out with abandon and 'Last Breath' is a cheeky, cheeky growler. Top notch.

Beat Em Up EP
Apoka - (4:04) 58 BPM
Review: With two massive "Abstract" EPs and an equally hefty dispatch on AFT, 2018 has been Oz's most prolific year to date. So he's celebrating with a good old fashioned ruckus... "Beat 'Em Up". "Apoka" lights the fire with brazen dramatic operatic effect while the title track pistol whips us into submission before a hornets nest bassline stings from all directions. Deeper into the EP we glide of "OMG", another heavily orchestral influenced piece before "Rockers" shuts up shop with a groaning understated rumble roller. Wounders all round.

One Hundred Percent Tough EP
Midnight Killing - (4:26) 58 BPM
Review: Heist invites New York's Hoogs to the Calypso crew with one of the label's most generous EPs to date. Those aware of Hoogs' 15 year repertoire will already know what to expect; cross-board ruffage with a cheeky US twist on the classic UK jump-up foundation. Heady, sharper and big in the lean riff game, highlights include the downward spiral of bass paranoia on "Gorilla Glue", the rattling jungle freshness of "What You Say" and the higher-toned bassline trippery of "Midnight Killing". Audio insanity.
