Review: Russian roustabout Pruf returns to Tyke's Holographic Audio with four more heaving slabs of high voltage bass wizardry. Each cut hits hard in its own unique, skin-melting way as the EP title track 'Spectrum' sets the benchmark with a drop that seems weighted with extra lead and gristle. Elsewhere 'Advantage' sizzles like it's been super-charged with 1.21 gigawatts, 'Dragon' looks back to classic early 2000s Bad Company vibes for inspiration while 'Red Zone' goes a little more futuristic and sci-if in a manner that's not dissimilar to Current Value. Comparisons don't come much higher.
Review: Dust off your WD40, dig out the oil, grab some lubricant; DJ Rusty is squeaking like crazy right here on this killer Holographic two-tracker. 'Get Out' sets the scene with its wide armed, rolling drums and incessant high voltage bass buzzes and gruff barks. 'Illusion' meanwhile goes for that mischievous early 2000s Bristol ruffage vibe with added dreamt vibes on the breakdown. Squeak if you're peaking.
Review: Feel the burn! Sam Pyro is back again and he's got another box of matches and an even bigger can of petrol to pour on the flames. 'Take Me Up' is the spark the inferno needs. Crisp rippling basses sizzle and slap while soulful vocals surge over the top for dramatic effect, it sets the scene for the rest of the heat; 'Gunshots' goes full laser blaze while 'Feel It' closes on more of an emotional note - pianos, vocal stabs and a bassline so disgusting it'll make you quit your job, become a fireman and dedicate the rest of your life to putting out Sam's arson attacks. Woof!
Review: Holographic welcome the return of young London talent Future Shock with these two heavily emotionally charge work-outs. Both flexing on the dancefloor side of things, 'Think You're Better' skips with a hypnotic vibe and urgent but soulful vocal and dreamy arpeggios while 'All In' takes things much darker and ravier but still carries a lot of mainroom space and drama. Go All In!
Review: Debt... One of the most popular pastimes in the UK right now, Jando captures the austerity zeitgeist with this crucial collection of Tyke's Holographic. 'Debt' makes us all pay the piper with its stripped back venomous aesthetic. It's backed up by plenty more dancefloor heat 'Speed Of Light' is a rasping physical weapon, 'War Dubplate' is all about those high voltage grizzles while 'Mario Riddim' takes us back to our childhoods when Debt was when our pocket money ran out. Man like Jando!
