Review: Whenever we see Sukh Knight touch down on DAKU we know we are likely in for a very enjoyable time, with Shandy this time joining him for a fiery two-tracker. This is a link up we have seen pay dividends so many times over the years, with this latest motive being no different, opening up with the eerie melodic loops and crunchy drum work of 'Surj', a typically vibrant display from the two dubstep veterans. On the flip to this we then dive into the sounds of 'Unseen', a more tearout-style creation, focussing on hard hitting synthesiser growls and organic drum shuffles, giving us a pleasing juxtaposition between live and digital elements. It's another well thought out display from team DAKU, who have impressed once again.

Review: It's always an exciting thing to see Sukh Knight and Shandy join forces, being two legends of the original dubstep world, now with an added grimey twist. They return to Daku for three rave-ready rockers, kicking off with the typically explosive 'Saavan'. In classic Sukh & Shandy style, this one alternates between blasting horn stabs and eastern-inspired string plucks, all laid above a sweeping river of bassy expression below. Beyond this 'Nazareh' takes us somewhere a little unexpected as an even more raucous display of bassy crunches are let off the leash, topped with euphoric chords to match, before closing on 'Thumhe'. This is the calmest of the three, but by no means the least potent, as a single grizzly synth lead drives the track forward, forging its way through magnificent melody work. Awesome stuff!

Review: It's always a pleasure to hear new music from Sukh Knight, one of the most original sound smiths of the first dubstep age, who has continued to impress over the years with more and more weighty originals. He arrives on DAKU here with four such heaters, kicking off with the warbling low ends and springy chord progressions of 'Jigsaw', which sets us off in style. Next up, 'Aliens' ups the heat with a more reese-like combination of bass slides and alarm-like melodies, before Charan B arrives for some additional work on the flute-dripping delights of 'Red Alert'. Finally, a pace-change as 'TKC' dives into a much more trip-hop inspired arrangement, cooling the mould before rounding the EP off with a dash of finesse!

Review: Dark Tantrums (real name Anthony Hope-Thomson) is a British dubstep producer who has had previous releases on Deep Medi Musik, Artikal Music and Origin Audio. His latest comes courtesy of the ever reliable Daku imprint run by Sukh Knight out of London. Meeting at the intersection of UK bass and intelligent jungle is the evocative opener "Roots", while the hypnotic and meditative sonic qualities of the title track show another dimension altogether to this young producer. Finally, the massive and rolling bassline of "Special Place" performs centre stage to a lush backdrop of ethereal and exotic sounds.

Review: When it comes to classic dubstep releases, there aren't many that are riding ahead of this one from Sukh Knight as he re-releases the timeless 'Born Invincible' EP on his own label 'Daku'. This project really has stood the test of time, kicking off with the title track, packed to the brim with colourful LFO patterns and smooth chord progressions. Next, 'Jinglist' gives us a view into Sukh's more melodic side, again allowing those nostalgic chords to roam freely between catchy basslines and minimal drums. Finally, we welcome Badness on board who provides some catchy vocal impressions on 'Shooting Stars', another timeless classic to conclude proceedings upon.

Review: We here see Sukh Knight's return to his home imprint of DAKU for two tracks of pure 140 fire. Over the years we have heard Sukh Knight move with times superbly, with the first track being a perfect example of his grimey influences alongside the intense vocal patterns of Grim Sickers on 'David Seaman'. Sukh provides a scorching backdrop of hard hitting horns and choppy drum textures, over which Grim Sickers runs wild. The instrumental as a standalone goes by the name of 'Bricks' and also features on the release for good measure!

Review: As one of dubstep's original heavy hitters, it's awesome to see Sukh Knight still doing what he does best and producing amazing 140BPM based originals. This latest piece is an instant classic for the Sukh Knight repertoire, as he deploys typically eastern melodies over grizzly, hard hitting bass instrumentation. It's gnarly, it's powerful and it's typically Sukh Knight as one of the most consistently hard hitting producers of the last 10 years supplies us with yet another belter!
