Must Make Music
Played by: Juno Recommends Drum & Bass
Review: New Zealand new talent Azifm has blossomed in recent years, developing a powerful discography on Workforce's Must Make Music. This is his most accomplished dispatch to date, however, as he pays homage to his roots with 'Rakahuri Connection'. 'Easy 2 Love' breaks us in with a slightly slower tempo and far-away psychedelic keys, while 'Northside' goes full rural with mystical pipes over crisp rhythms. There's an added echo of NZ on 'Wasted Time' as the vocal sounds similar to fellow countryman Joe Dukie while 'Yeah Nah' looks more towards Azifm's newly laid UK roots with more of a bouncy old school Bristol bubbley vibe. All four cuts absolutely hit the spot, Azifm isn't messing around.

Review: Workforce was never sure if Must Make Music would release other artists' music besides his own when he first launched the label... Then he heard Azifm, an incredible talent from New Zealand who has a natural sense of groovemanship, musical contrast and jungle timelessness. One moment deep and reflective, the next slamming down with a gritty breakbeat vibe, his sound belies his young age and could appease young ravers and DnBoomers alike. And this is by far his best work to date. Highlights include the super springy snaps and pops of 'If Only' the rush-caked trance elements of 'Global' and the Breakage style bumpage of 'Actual Factual'. From darkness comes light...

Review: If you count his albums as Spectrasoul and his debut LP as Workforce ('Late Night Soundtrack') then this is Jack Stevens' fifth artist album. But in some ways it's more like a debut album as it's definitely his most considered and sculpted body of work. Featuring ongoing themes and samples of consciousness and the trippy sax textures of Leroy Horns, the album is able to explore the vast, sprawling D&B vista while remaining consistent. Working like a set or journey that's fully playable on the dancefloor yet whisks you into a unique universe, very few drum & bass albums dig as deep or are as articulated as well as this. Fifth album or debut - it's definitely his best, which is saying something.

Review: The remix EP to arguably the best album of the year is here, as Tim Reaper, Break and Halogenix step up to put their own spins on a triplet of tracks from Workforce's Late Night Soundtrack album. Break is the first and his take on 'Overnight Express' featuring SP:MC is a ghostly apparition of urban-edged, dystopian funk that slaps harder than a mule in heat. Its kick-heavy build amps up the suspense and the satisfaction on the drop is immense, a diving, bending track that carries serious weight. Tim Reaper has flipped the lounging liquid of 'Two Words' into something bubbing and Breakage-esque, a punchy track with an even punchier 303 bassline, all set adrift in a whispering sea of vocal melancholia. The best is arguably saved for last, as Halogenix takes 'Your Loss' and splices it into small, chunky sections that bleed into one another with stabby intent, a bright and shiny track with incredible drums and synthetic supremacy coming out the wazoos. Unbelievable.

Review: Must Make maestro Jack Workforce has presented slabs galore since activating his solo project last year with "Late Night Soundtrack" volume one. Since then he's delivered the absolutely huge "Your Moves" on Exit, collabs with The Upbeats and Rockwell and delivered two more EPs in this series. Now comes the full album. Every release in the "Late Night Soundtrack" series plus two dope new pieces; the grimacing, oily steps of "Really Obnoxious Rich Kids" and the sombre soul of "Heart Crossed". The final pieces in his late night puzzle, they wrap up an exceptional year for the SpectraSoul member. We're excited to hear what he makes next...

Review: More Late Night Soundtrack business from the Brighton workhorse that is Workforce. Hot on the heels of his unanimously supported "Your Moves" on Exit comes "Heart Crossed". Another springy but subdued cut, there's a tension in the lightness and a barb to the soul as at first we feel the breezes but on closer inspection get kicked in the goulies by the groaning bass. Another exceptional piece of work from Stevens, and hopefully the sign of more nocturnal nugs very soon...

Review: One half of Spectrasoul, Workforce is automatically a force to be reckoned with and his newest EP on his brand new Must Make Music imprint only confirms that. 'Don't Tell' is the first of four and arguably the best, with a huge drum sound that defines the tune from the offset, and which underpins a guttural sense of funk and power - jump-up influenced in all the best ways. 'Dotdotdash' is growlier and more stripped back, its gravelly lower end creeping all the way through the arrangement. 'Fragments' takes things a little lighter, whilst 'Setting Traps' is a steppy and precise depiction of the scene's breakier side. Love this one.
