Review: Diving into the heart of modernised techno heat, we see the Keysound team back in action once again as they welcome a wicked combination of Krypsis & 9TRANE for two explosive new heaters. First up, we enter the dungeon as the glistening delays and mind-melting reese textures of 'Hollow Point' are ushered forward, giving us gritty subs to wade through, atop clicky percussive perfection for a wild introductory original. From here, we then explore the depths of 'Box', another haunted creation, fusing eerie atmospheric pad textures with ghostly harmonics and hard hitting drum work, all glued together with some of the most hard hitting sub work we have heard this year. Sonic excellence as per!
Review: Bringing forth fresh talent at a dizzying rate, Dusk & Blackdown's imprint steps up with another sterling four-tracker of forward-thinking bass music that keeps the vibe of dubstep alive just as it points to new avenues. Etch is fearsomely limber on "Scattah", wielding rudest jungle tropes on a half-step lurch with a wonderful injection of horror soundtrack tension that brings all the darkside incantations you could hope for. Walton has a touch more pep in his own collage that drops a snappy garage mentality with a breakbeat roll, while the bass rub cries out for a powerful stack of subs to test. Visionist taps into the exotic climes that the LHF collective explored so adeptly, clashing melodies against each other without hesitation, and Fresh Paul takes the creatively maligned purple sound and runs it into a far more inviting cocktail of emotionally ambiguous and devilishly produced fare.
