Review: Hot Mom heaviness: Distal's massive summer EP gets ripped for winter as an equally massive remix EP. Rosko applies the breaks in a typically spacious fashion Vjaun Allure really works the detuned synths and skippy drums of "Wave Runner" while Carpainter takes a Detroit sentimentality and turbo charges it with future vibrancy on "Flowers". Distal himself and Scottie B dismantle and rebuild "Tokyo Nail Salon" into the ultimate gated hype raiser to end all gated hype raisers while GRRL close the show with a ghetto-ravaged D&B riot piece. Rave on.
Review: The first time D Dots appeared we got the impression that he'd be delivering computerised digi roots by the dubful. We weren't totally correct, if this new single for Hot Mama is anything to go by. "War Child" features the vocals of Rider Shafique, and the tune is basically bassline house with a hint of something gloriously tribal, less constrained to traditional electronic sounds. "Lightning & Thunder" is more of the same, another blistering punch of cascading beats, supremely hummable bass rhythms, and and Caribbean vibe that perfectly distinguishes these tunes from the heap of other bass material.
