Review: Revolution for Evolution! Hotly-tipped new gen jump up craftsman K Motionz comes correct with his highly anticipated debut album. 16 tracks of thundering 175 magic, K-Mo crushes it from all directions. From the groaning, droning moans of opener "Exterminate" to the emotional Jaws-style dramatic finale with the late great Dominator (RIP) "The Dominator", there's not a filler in sight. The sing-along thrills and spills of "Declaration", the slithering rolls and slaps of "Reptile", the soothing soulful glides of "Dreaming To Reality", the surging peaks of "Higher" and the gritty contrasts of "Gospel" are just some of the many highlights. Time to evolve...
Review: Raise the alarm! K Motionz returns with another tease from his forthcoming album The Evolution. Similar to last week's "Declaration", it's another one track missile that leaves you under no uncertain terms with its relentless energy and addictive riff dynamic. Springy, hooky and liable to have the crowd from bouncing to sing-along in three seconds flat; if you're not ready for K Motionz album after hearing this, you probably never will be.
Raise Up The Pressure (feat Azza) - (5:51) 175 BPM
Roach Rizla (feat Grima) - (4:23) 175 BPM
Review: It doesn't get much deeper than this: Dom's first posthumous release, this was locked and loaded in the chamber just before he tragically passed in June. Time to pay respect; both on dub for well over a year, their heavy-demand status speaks for itself. Azza accelerates the intensity onf "Raise Up The Pressure" over a signature Dominator riff, all stripped back and spiky yet bouncy. "Roach Rizla", meanwhile, is a step-by-step guide to citrus bliss with the one and only Grima. Both essential in every possible way. Rest In Peace.
Review: Some questions can't be solved through basic logical procedures: like how do those subs rumble with so much room on "Enigma"? Why do those harps on "Suffer" make us melt inside? And how come no law enforcer has arrested the bassline on "Trust Nobody" for being so murderous? Other questions posed throughout this complex Complex compendium include how many slabs of concrete can "Vault Dweller" melt in one go? And what the deuce was running through Dominator's mind when he twisted up "What Are You" with such grizzly, venomous bass? Any questions?
Review: Birmingham blunderbuss K Motionz teams up with Spectre-affiliate Subsonic for two KO collabos and a series of solo originals."Worlds" is a brash roughhouser with savage sandpaper scuffing your very soul while "Sewer" takes us deep underground for a splash in the harmonic sonic slurry. Elsewhere Mr Motionz gets trippy on the humanised bass gurgles of "Diversion" and twisted on the multi-bass hits and tripletty swing of "Load while Subsonic whips up some serious string theatre on "Escape" while "Wun Style" shuts us down with true distorted drama. Titanic.
Review: Suffolk's D-Stortion Records are back with an impressive bunch of breakbeat science upstarts that aren't messing around. Take for instance Dominator & Heist with their fierce DJ Krust influenced stepper "Trouble"; that strings section in the middle is just classic! Next up Dominator teams up with Upgrade on "Couldn't Care Less" which rolls and growls away ferociously in a purist techstep tradition. Dominator, again, shows us his skills in conjunction with Invictus; this time on the dark and suspenseful sci-fi beat futurism of "Infected", which brazenly wears its Virus Recording influence on its sleeve and we can dig that!
