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!
Review: Tyke's Holographic Audio heads to Sao Paulo for their latest release as One Mindz joins the fray with two ruthless underground jams. 'The Pressure' lives up to its name with a rising sense of tension and aggy, brutal sense of funk. It's backed by the deeper charms and more subtle dynamics of 'Very Soon' where the pads and chords wrap around One Mindz' tightly coiled drums with emotional and cosmic intention. Unique.
Review: Get your teacups out! Midlands rave OG Mugshot gets busy on Tyke's Holographic with four steaming filth-flingers. Each one stripped back to the bare essentials and laced with tension and plenty of grit in the grooves, vibes range from the sizzling futurism and stern tones of the title track 'Stoopid Filth' to the pneumatic industrial strength sludge of the aptly titled 'Darkness' by way slippery wriggling slugs like 'Winter Of Diss' and all-out tear-up treats like 'Over Turn'. Nothing stoopid at all about this collection. Fill your jugs.
Review: The hunt is on! Tyke's Holographic Audio sees the return of Brazilian roustabouts Basshunterz with two grizzly little rinse-outs. 'Deep Hollers' goes for the full tense and drama dynamic on the build up with a really sizzling high voltage bass texture while 'The Swarm' stings us hard with a sharp one note bassline and a curmudgeonly groove.
Review: Six sells... And so do gully bangers. Just as Tyke and the Holographic Audio as they invite Latvian lad Kenji over for some sonic sickness. Three tracks, three moments of chaos for your dancefloor; 'Six' is a slick, well-oiled machine, all steppy and sleazy, 'You Cannot Defeat Me' is a much grottier jam with all kinds of alien twists on the sound design while 'Mr Cowboy' corals the crew with a big bassline lasso. Yippy-kai-yay.
