Antwerp Skies - (4:35) 85 BPM
Review: It was around 2022 that we last heard from dBridge with the M|E album and collaborative EP with Madison Willing called Made In Silence, before last year's mini LP with Homesick. Keeping it at the edge of what's definable and what drum and bass experimentalism once more - the EP kicks off with a percussive and melody-tinged "Teenage Echo", with its chord elements passing over into something more elongated in "My Resolve". With oriental themes somewhat abound, alongside some zaps familiar to the Raster-Noton trained ear, "Meridian" continues the vibe until we reach a 80s-esque pop balled in "I'm Damned". Bringing it back to square one, though, is EP closer "Antwerp Skies" - a dBridge sleeper classic for the ages.

Review: Neil Andrew aka Dolenz returns to dBridge's esteemed Exit Records for his fourth release of grey area style electronics. The result is a six-track mini LP, documenting a year of musical and internal exploration. A strong departure from his previous EP, "Be Kind" sees him teaming up with 140 BPM mainstay Cimm on the half-time intensity of "Psalm 2", and hip-hop pioneer Sumgii on the gloomy roller "Nil Feels".

Review: Other than being one of drum 'n' bass' long standing veterans, Darren White aka dBridge was a key player in the late noughties seminal Autonomic sound. White continues to this day with his half-time experiments in the genre's grey area on his respected Exit imprint, where he presents his latest effort M|E: an album of live, one-take recordings using varying hardware synths, samples and guitar pedals. He explores a multitude of styles: from the immersive ambient opener "The Beginnings End", to the brooding soundscape of "Addicted To", the nightmarish ritual rites of "Your Angel Shouts Through Demons" and the imaginary sci-fi soundtrack of "Idols Yet Unheard". All-in-all another fine example of the veteran British producer's multi-faceted style.

Review: It's always exciting to see a new sonic adventure land from the Exit crew, who this time welcome borderlandstate_the best kisser in l.a for four tracks of digital destruction. We begin with the uber glitchy electronic designs of 'Direct Message', utilizing bit crushers and clicky percussion for a truly unique sonic experience, before dives into a groovy 2-step arrangement, again topped with lazer-like displays of juice. From here 'Cas_9' then arrives for a crunchy waltz through swampy synth slaps and organic drum sounds, before 'Arena4' gives us a soundscape-driven outro, focussing on up-tempo post-d&B designs to round off with the EP with some apocalyptic finesse.

Fixate & Greazus - "Elbow Room" - (5:14) 86 BPM
Scotch Bonnet - (5:14) 85 BPM
Review: Exit records OG Fixate finds himself back in the house once again with this four-track Confusion EP. Turning in three solo numbers and the one collab with the rarely seen Greazus, Fixate looks to tribal percussion, spaciously warped beats and atmospheric drum and bass languages across his three solo originals. "Confusion" is the highlight most will gravitate too - perhaps appealing to a Livity Sound inspired listener through its percussive and UK bass elements. "Scotch Bonnet" sees stuttered and falling drums disintegrate into a whirlpool of deconstructed bass only to reform as an easy-going, dreamy house loop. For the real Fixate steppers look to "Dawn Chorus" to get the heads nodding, alongside "Elbow Room" with its spooked-out melody line and straight up future drum and bass repute!

Riverside - (7:28) 59 BPM Hot
Review: As the esteemed Exit Record label explains, producer and percussionist Rajeev Maddela, aka Currency, aims to bring a refreshingly human approach to electronic music composition with Humanism. By exploring key features and concepts inside of Ableton, the artist worked with drum triggers and chance melodies in the search of highlighting the expressive qualities of natural time, while embracing a deep obsession with late '90s breakbeat culture. Approaching each track as if it were from a series of 'photographs', the music explores a realm of MIDI-art with a focus on minimalist production ethics, percussion techniques and high tempo ambient grooves - all in the name of giving currency to your present state of being.

Review: Now this is most certainly an interesting one as Exit unveil yet another incredibly unique project, inviting the sounds of Borderlandstate and The Best Kisser In LA in together for an incredibly vibrant five track selection. This is electronic bass music in it's most creative, kicking off with the glitchy computer bleeps of 'The Happy Goose' and post-breakbeat fusion of 'SE17'. Up next, the incredibly colourful percussive flavours of 'Pattern Collapse' and spacey, spooked out sub pressure of 'Interlinked', before the industrial rhythms and choppy vocal layers of the title track 'Hello Mainframe' round us off with a final dab of flavour.

Review: Exit supergroup Binary Collective (comprising dBridge, Joe Seven, Kid Drama and Consequence) lay down their debut document? And it?s every shade of retro-stated future you?d hoped it would be. Diving deep into the analogue abyss, each cut attempts to out-deep the next while remaining well weighted and groove-focused. ?Binary Theme? is Moroder on Mogadon, ?In Pursuit? is a car chase in toxic treacle, ?Cloud Creeping? is what triphop would sound like if it was invented 20 years later while ?Sentries Watch Us? sounds like one of Parliament?s more experimental jams but played and recorded under water. These daft comparisons are just the tip of the iceberg, though ? it?s hard to reference music as matchless as this? Listen and interpret it in your own universe.
