Review: Crown Jules is known for an uncompromising approach to all tings bass. Here it presents a selection of tough cuts from the label's roster. "Ram Jam" begins with some ominous hip-hop-on-a-tropical-vibe attitude with plenty of carnival tempos and stabby fake horns to boot. Next, and "Muky" by Sean D is a menacing bouncer that builds intensity with an incessant buzz and shrill high-end melodies. J Beatz appears with Limit for the dark alley grind of "No Signal" lastly Beat Boss 4 champion, Sware, rocks up to deliver "The Flow", a slice of elasticated electro with a hint of ghetto sass.
Review: Serious grime business from long-standing Enfield roadman. Fresh from his adventures on Project Allout, here he brings clutch of war jams, each one riddled with dark energy and heavily coded drama. "Chestplate" looks towards the dubstep side of the game with its epic warbles popping on every chiselled snare, "Immortal" features a slick spar between Nico Lindsay, Capo Lee, Merky Ace and Blay while the instrumental reveals the powerful synth horn funk they're spitting over. Further into the EP we wade to find gold at the end of the gloomy, pensive "Dartford" tunnel before taking more of a chiller approach on his warped and wonderful remix of "Drunk".
