Review: Flicking up the Vs, Manchester's GTA crew get busy on their fifth instalment of their Vibrations series. Nothing but pure fire from six exciting names in the next-gen game, it's top gear from the off; Sl8r kicks off with a vibrant croaky bassline croak while Hanm follows with a slippery neuro-referencing tech monster. Elsewhere Nothing To Lose & Echidna deliver a slamming Prototypes style floor burner "Imminent Danger", Charlie B gets all ravey and wavey on "Feeling", KS gets savage with roaring metallic bass and raw jungle break rolls of "Out Of Control" and S.Opress just straight up tears us a new one with the high voltage hum of "Gutter Thug". Good vibrations!
Review: Steal-up to wheel-up, Manny gang GTA get busy with their ninth Vibrations flex. As with previous collections, it's all about the burgeoning talent and the bruising beats as we're rinsed through Sola's full strength A&R spectrum. Highlights include the brazen stinkery of Guzi, Woolf & Plasmator's grizzly 'Every Little Thing', I.C.U's gargantuan filth-fest 'Compa' and Beskar and Sebotage's sizzling sci-fi skank-up 'Space Creatures'. And that's just the tip of this vibration... Feel the frequencies!
Review: Manchester's Sola return to their massive debut album from last year with this equally hefty remix collection featuring a wide range of impressive, high grade names. ESKR, Guzi, Cliques, Plastmator, Shayper, Pyxis and Antagonist are just some of the top shelf names at play here as we're whipped across the dancefloor continuum relentlessly in a similar spirit to the original album. Every remix is a highlight but Cliques' devastating twist of 'Pico De Gallo', Clarkey's ultra-stomp twist on 'Trust Grit', Antagonist's deep rebuild of 'The Drift' the Perplex's BBK-level tear-up of 'Maintain Thine Hue' are some of the biggest stand-out bangers on here. Time to get starry eyed once again!
Review: The hardest working troupe to come out of Manchester in recent years, Grand Theft Audio bossmen Sola finally reveal their debut album. Proud champions of all styles and subgenres of drum & bass, their album 'Stars Align' brings together everything the trio are about... And plenty more. Highlights include the absolutely firing Latin banger 'Pico De Gallo', the glitchy Opiou-inspired cosmic beats piece 'Turncloak' and the absolutely firing 'Amazonia' which brings together pretty much every flavour of D&B all in one track. All this and plenty more, Sola have delivered something very special right here.
Review: Ready for the remix! Sola and Sammie Hall's massive 'Dreaming' EP gets the remix treatment from a whole slew of talents. Aries lights the fire with a killer twist on 'Close To You' as the euphoric intro drops into something very dark and foreboding. He's in good company as many other step up with fresh new versions: Rowney shows off his deep and uplifting side on 'Dreaming Of You', Grand Theft Audio's own Vektral adds a whole new level of electrified grit to 'The Stars', American rising talent Airglo takes us around the solar system with his take on 'Lost In The Moment' while Jfal closes the EP with a savage tear-up twist on 'Hangar'. Bumping.
Review: Following their belly-busting 'British Fry Up' EP earlier this year, UK duo Change Of Pace set the pace with this skin-rippling vocal anthem with Sammie Hall - 'Set The World Alight'. Comes in three powerful flavours. The original is a big dreamy breezy with springy breaks and subtle sense of the majestic while pyxis adds her bittersweet soulful signature. Looking for a little more dancefloor wallop and theatre? Head for Sola and Daida's twist and start setting the floor alight.
Review: Give us a signal! Rising filth merchant Jfal unleashes his inner naval petty officer and steers us in the direction of five big-chinned dancefloor bruisers on Grand Theft Audio. Laced with drama and a big Trex-style riff, 'Quartermaster' packs an unforgettable hook and sets the heavyweight scene for the whole EP. Other highlights include the classic rave blasts and wubbly bass tones of 'Here For You' and stark futurism and freaky spaciousness of 'Little Red Button'. Salute.
Review: Not content with serving up a massive album earlier this summer, GZ Audio boss and long-time GTA affiliate Guzi comes charge back into our collections with this humungous collab-fuelled EP. Featuring the likes of Freddy B, Zoner, Pyxis and Woolf, along with two killer originals, it's a full-flavoured experience that leaves no corner of D&B unexplored. Highlights include the acid thump of the title track 'Move On', the shimmering soul vibes of 'Be Strong' (with Zoner) and the deep house sensibilities of 'Finders Keepers' (with Pyxis). Get moving.
