Review: New World Audio have come at you with a single that includes a remix of both sides, turning this into a sick little EP which crosses a number of genre boundaries. 'Taser' is a dark, dubstep cut that features a rattling percussive line, slick background detailing and a suitably warm yet moody sub-bass line. DJ Squarewave is on remix duties and doesn't do a complete overhaul, yet injects a new sense of rowdiness with some additional kicks and a few new synth lines. 'Midnight Club' is heavier, for sure, grating basses sweep away the subtelty of the last for new pastures, Arkwright's remix then taking it in the opposite direction, back to the lands of space and contemplation. A very cool EP - don't miss out dubstep fans.
Review: Two releases in as many months, the Grandmaster ain't messing around in 2016: "Interstellar" takes the deep, swinging halftime swagger and sends it into the furthest echelons of the cosmos thanks to its alien bass lasers and general sense of weightless restraint. "Hustlerz", meanwhile, takes us right back to the mid 2000s with its funky, early Rusko swagger. All bouncy and full of character, with its Next Day Air sample it hits harder than ten bricks.
Review: There's a serious 2010/Hench vibe to Sukh's latest doublet. Two sermons in the dark art of badism, both "Ported" and "Talisman" dig deep into the original dub psyche that caused dancefloor riots over half a decade ago. The former is a Jakes-style snapper, all metallic, angular and unrelenting. The latter is more of a jump-up style with kung-fu samples so well executed they could give DJ Hazard nightmares and a siren-surged bassline that's so ugly it makes your mum look tasty. For reals.
Review: The New World Audio regulars team up for a collaborative effort and produce a startling 2-tracker that's bound to turn more than a few heads. Sukh Knight goes for a deep and meditative ninja slasher on "Pai Mei Technique", aligning shredded, minimal bass tones with stuttering, flexible percussion stabs, whereas Shandy and RDG's "Fate" takes the samurai slashing to the next level thanks to their inimitable, stop-start motion approach - sublime and heavily recommended.
Review: For this third release - their first of 2012 - bass music upstarts New World Audio gather together a selection of tunes from a quartet of little-known producers. Sukh Knight's Bhangra-inspired "Shutdown" is probably the highlight. It offers an exotic stroll through dubstep's more melodic pastures, with sampled Indian vocals and Bollywood melodies offering a decent contrast to the sub-heavy bassline. Shandy's aggressive and intense "Jogi" isn't far behind, though, thanks to some punishing rhythms, spangled rave synths and dubwise effects. For those seeking pure dancefloor thrills, look no further than the eyes-closed dubstep-skank of Trex's murky "Mad Mother Dub".
