Review: Okay, let's get this straight... Anything that uses the nostalgic 8-bit tones of Pacman deserves rather hefty props. Especially when it's been incorporated into a blistering breakbeat track as M2J has showcased here on "Pacman's Revenge": it's rave central and, if we're honest, a nice little dewy eyed moment for the older dancing crew. Elsewhere you'll find the classic angular electro vibes of "Roller Convention" (which don't sound too dissimilar to Radioactive Man if we're honest), you'll also find the endless rises and whooshes of "First Of The Summer Vibes", a track that sounds like a rocket taking off. Finally there's "Grime8", an undiluted filthy rolling breakbeat romp. Hefty props a-go-go!
Review: A neat remix swap here between Fused Forces and M2J on L2S Recordings. First up is the M2J remix of "Skuffle Shuffle", which is all warping, swirling atmospherics and tripping beats underpinned with razor sharp snares and disorientating SFX. It's a superb effort from M2J which is guaranteed to light up the dancefloors til the early hours. Then it's on to the Fused Force's interpretation of "Silent Running" which focuses on chopped up, reverberating vocal snippets with hollow, pattering breaks and distant groaning atmospheric sweeps. A classy couple of cuts here.
Review: London producer M2J returns to Whistla's L2S label for this hugely classy set of crisp future-garage and bass beats. The opening title tune sets the tone perfectly - ushering in a robotic 808 groove over some languid and deeply textured synths. "Downer" keeps things on a creeping and moody vibe thank to some descending bass notes and echoed tech-clutter, while "Eden" switches styles by sporting a Skream-esque slowed-down jungle beat over chunky bass shots.
