Review: After breaking through a couple of years back via a much-lauded EP on R&R Records, Sam Interface has spent much of his time producing tracks for an impressive roll-call of grime MCs. Here he returns to the More Time imprint he founded a few years back with an EP of weighty, peak-time ready club cuts. He first joins forces with Van Basten and soca superstar Bunji Garlin on the kudoro/dancehall/UK bass fusion of 'Plenty Wine', before dropping the percussion-rich, carnival-ready hedonism of '146', where a pulverising bassline catches the ear. 'Let It Go' sees him channel the polyrhythmic techno sound of his home city of Bristol with predictably and mind-mangling results, while 'Just Having Fun' is a pleasingly bouncy blast of soca-UK funky fusion built around another notable bassline.
Review: By now, we should all be familiar with the work of Sam Interface and Ahadadream's More Time Records, a largely digital-only imprint whose boundary-blurring, bass-heavy take on dance music draws on the many disparate styles popular in London. The label's latest release sees Ahadadream return to the fore with a pleasingly hard-to-pigeonhole four-tracker. He first joins forces with Mxshi Mo on the polyrhythmic, mind-mangling Afro-house weight of 'Rain Fall', before whipping his shirt off and heading for the rave on the sleazy, muscular and twisted rush of 'Piano Skank' (all grime bass, bouncy beats and surging electronics). 'Spaceship' is like a mutant take on UK funky with added dancehall sounds and bowel-melting bass, while 'Peak' adds dark string stabs, chopped vocal samples and trippy noises to a similarly elastic groove.
