Review: Experimental noise and drum and bass producer outta Hong Kong (but currently based in Bristol) Gyrofield arrives on London's Inspected label with Title Card, a three-track solo EP featuring the one extra collaboration with little known act, Latesleeper. With all matter of ripped, torn, screwed and chewed rhythms coming out of "FYDB" and "23nd", a very melodic and synth heavy "Silk" helps balance the EP alongside the glitchy, syncopated and minimal grooves of "Rosequartz". Clocked.
Review: Next up on the innovative sounds of Inspected, we see them welcome the wonderful sounds of Skope across five depthy originals, exploring everything within the deep and dangerous realms of dubstep in 2020. We begin with 'Jaded', a truly mind blowing piece of sound design, from the shimmering reverberations and emotive atmospheric melodies to the organic drum snaps that follow. Next, 'Circuit' sees us visit a more tearout realm, dripping in reesey sauce throughout, before the wonky, funk-inspired bass melodies of 'Low Focus' deliver a goliath-sized bite of half-time magnificence. Finally, the lethal bass experiments of 'Hoops' make ready to turn dances to dust before the skippy, UKG-inspired drum textures of 'Wanderer' sees us out in style. Excellent work!
Review: Sorrow makes a long-overdue return to Inspected with his first EP of the year and he's not left anything to chance. Taking every soul-arresting aspect of his work we've fallen in love with over the years - from the breath-taking ambience to more pumped clubbier beats - he's laid his whole soul to bare...Both "Reverie" and "Want U Back" shuffle and switch on pensive sci-fi UKG twists, "Frumoasa" touches on the Balearic with its shimmering guitar, "Sheol" reminds us of Sorrow's darker side with its tubular ruffage bass textures while "The Twelve" points us in the direction of triphop's most sumptuous mezzanine. Twelve out of ten.
