Review: This latest outing from Apolo-Apolo is a great deep-dive into the more emotive areas of 2-step and dubstep ideals, with all four tracks involved offering up a refreshing take on new school melodies. If we take 'Love' for example, we are immediately embraced by aquatic sounding sublines with glittering soundscapes and tidy garage-style drum rolls to match, with the charming, lounge-like flutters of 'Charlie The Ghost' then following in hot pursuit. From here, the more mind-boggling soundscape action of 'Alone' moves into the spotlight, focussing on much slower drum syncopations and a mechanical sounding overhaul, with 'Someone To Hold' giving us the final dash of juice to see things off in style. A truly enjoyable sonic adventure.
Review: The Dark Heart Recordings crew have unveiled a very tasty collection here as they welcome the beautiful production approachers of Last Chariot inside, exploring through vibrant originals. The introductory sounds of 'Shalen' give us a frankly stunning fusion of warping reese textures, shuffling percussion and chiming melodics, before 'Pantheon' then throws us down a much more sublow route, focussing on eastern style woodwind flutters and aquatic basslines to match. Finally, a more classic sounding dubstep approach as 'Penchant' focusses on harsher, more grit-giving bass synths, topped with an eerie sense of wonder to close off this sonically outstanding collection in style.
