Review: Whenever Macabre Unit land, we know we are in for a treat, as they unveil a truly spicy collection from Kampah, delivering five tracks of pure 140 abandon. We open up with the destructive reesey textures and ungodly choral backdrops of "Knocked", coupled with the aquatic melodic pops and shuffling low ends of "Multiply" to kick off the EP with some serious flair. Next, "Disgruntled" focuses in once again on some lethal bass design, electrifying everything in its path, with the syncopated bass marches of "Choker" and the the otherworldly LFO work of "Carnie" then providing the final two puzzle pieces to close off this monstrous collection. Awesome stuff!
Review: We have come to expect a high degree of quality whenever a new Macabre Unit Digital drop happens to land in the store. We most certainly haven't been disappointed here as with BEAR joins the party for a four track womper. We begin with the swampy woodwind and squelching bass tones of 'Christian Devils', a proper raucous rattler, perfect for kick-starting the EP into action. From here, the shimmering percussive pressure and gnarly bass expanses of 'Before Humans' switches the feel of the EP, before the more spacious designs of 'The Creator' give us a look into the more delicate side of with BEAR's production arsenal. On remix duty Ammon-Ra gives 'Christian Devils' a dramatic overhaul, deploying a lethal synthesizer line atop some incredibly punchy drumwork to see us out in style.
Review: The levels have been set very high in recent months by the Macabre Unit team, who continue to provide the 140 scene with the highest quality dubstep originals on a regular basis. Lampa and Volume A are the latest to join the roster, giving us four spicy originals ot play with, kicking off with the raucous reese slaps and tidy percussive influxes of the title track 'Talkback'. Lampa is then joined by the magnificent Monika Emat, who provides some sumptuous vocal work over the haunting sounds of 'What's Mine', before 'Today' sees Volume A return on collaboration duty for a super spooky soundscape. Finally, Volume A takes up solo duty on 'Sound Effect', a more stripped back yet intense dubstep design, putting the finishing touches on a great selection!
Review: We love to see new music from the Macabre Unit team, a solidified imprint with dubstep and grime who very rarely seem to get it wrong. They've hit the nail on this head with this three tracker from Inertia, who kicks us off with the almost satanic, choir-like pad textures and choppy drum structures of the title track 'Stronghold', before 'Parasite' leads us down into the subby depths for a dungeon-ready roller, jam-packed with writhing reese tones from from start to finish. Finally, 'The Infected' lets loose a much more punchy set of drum sounds in combination with swampy bass tones to rund this one out in style!
Review: We always get excited to see a brand new JFO release hit the shelves, so when we saw he had teamed up with the ever-ready Macabre Unit team for a two track special, we were absolutely over the moon. This one is a perfect showcase of what JFO is all about, as 'Bodom' kicks us off in style, channeling incredibly clean bass synthesizer processing, spacey pads and punchy drums to provide us with an absolute heater. On the B-side we welcome 'Virus', dripping in a more classic deep dubstep flavour as growling synthesizer rolls run riot amidst delicate percussive leads and smooth atmospheric textures. Another job well done for both Macabre Unit and JFO!
Review: With the team at Macabre Unit always looking to expand the label and sound into new and exciting areas of electronic dance music, this latest offering from Lampa fits perfectly into their mantra. We firstly examine the title track 'Dubious', which combines metallic synth growls with crisp, bouncy drum punches to give us a dungeon-esc vibe from the off. This is followed by potent sub pressure and minimalist drum designs of 'Black Wax', before 'Convenance' lets fly some seriously grizzly synth work, alongside a wash of eastern vocal exerts. Finally' the pace is slowed with the more stripped back melodic bliss of 'Nowhere To Be Found' providing the outro credits.
Review: Macabre Unit Digital certainly know how to set their standards high, a theme in which they continue to dazzle as they invite RUFUS! Inside the camp for a four track smasher. We begin with a dive into the title track 'Battle Groove', a well structured original steppers gem, driven by rolling chord movement and subtle yet grizzly bass textures. This is then followed by 'Inertia', which combines super punchy drums with swampy synthesizer designs, before 'Holographic' strips everything back to basics, combining skippy grooves and catchy melodics with incredible results. We finish up in style as the Eastern soundscaping and writhing bass tones of 'Pandemonium' cause exactly what they say on the tin.
Review: When it comes to releasing original dubstep, there are few who boast such a forward thinking catalogue as the Macabre Unit imprint, continuing that trend here as they invite Ammon-Ra in for five tracks of pure heat. We kick off with a look at the title track 'Shamanism', a writhing, gnarly beast, patterned with super clean drum sampling and a real punchy feel. This is then chased up by the trap-like tones of 'Way Back When', the big room emotive synthesizers of 'Gaia' and ferocious feels of 'Fire Blazing'. We then finish up with the hard hitting basslines and crunchy percussion of 'Afterlife', again showcasing the Macabre talent for finding real original heaters.
