Review: The Next Level Dubstep crew have delivered a real box of treats with this one as Noclu touches down with four awesome original creations, delving into the deepest depths of what 140 can offer. First up, 'Fuku', a gritty swing through gnarly reese textures and mind-boggling atmospherics, before 'Twentyfour' flips the script with heavily syncopated rhythms and another system-busting synth lead. The energy levels continue to rise as 'Swarm' fuses eastern-sounding string plucks with an apocalyptic bass lead that engulfs all around it as it rages forward, before the title track 'Undeaded' calms the overall energy with unique drum processing and aquatic percussive jingles, closing the project with an unexpected but welcome feeling.
Review: Next up from the Next Level Dubstep crew, a tidy box of fun indeed as they welcome the explosive sounds of Mikrodot inside, unveiling four tracks of original 140 heat. We begin our dive with the dripping textures of 'Telepathic', a vibrant title track that combines wonky synthetics with sliding subs and moody atmospheric delays, followed by the dubwise processing of chord progressions of 'Babylon'. From here, more wicked bass work as the scrunching synthesiser curls of 'Hypnotoad' deliver a swampy backdrop, with the subtle thumps and dizzying atmospheric layers of 'Wartime Dub', closing us in a typically dubwise march.
Review: Next Level Dubstep have delivered a delightful box of weaponry with this latest compilation, unloading seven original steppers from some of the seasons heaviest hitters. We open up with the crunchy reverberations of 'Tribez', a dizzying display from Noclu, which then gives way to both the squelching supremacy of Bukez Finezt's 'French Hideaway' and the system-busting sub bulges of 'Infinity Chamber' from the ever-ready Roklem & Sebalo. Next up, the choppy synth slaps of Mikrodot's 'Unconscious Mind' then awaken, followed in their slumberous state by 'Chatter' a convulsing box of distorted rhythm and urgent string work. Finally, 3WA arrives with a typically dizzying design on 'Consciousness', with the lethal synthetics and breaks-like drum crunches of Wolf'd's 'Run!' closing off the project with a serious smash.
Review: It's been a monstrous year for the Ternion Sound trio, who here return for one final dosage of dubstep delight, welcoming three experienced sonic-surgeons inside for a set of tasty 'Dovetail' remixes. First on the list, we take a look at Kursa's electronic overhaul, focussing heavily on grizzly electronic pulsing basses and scattered breakbeat-style drum switches, giving the whole track a truly shocking feel. Next, the infamous Bukez Finezt delivers a system-busting recreation, showcasing the pure genius of Bukez' synthetic thought process and abstract rhythmic ideas. Finally, the legendary Reso makes his return to give 'Dovetail' a jungle-inspired overhaul, focussing in on industrial bass sounds and scattered drum designs to unleash a seriously potent original, rounding out the EP with a splash of high-tempo finesse. Excellent work.
Review: It's always an exciting time to see new music from Hebbe, who for us, remains one of the most underrated producers to emerge from the newschool dubstep wave. This brand new two tracker shows exactly why as we first dive into the stunning percussive displays and super-crunchy sub arrangements of 'Quiche' which are then greeted by some seriously regal melodic twists further down the line. Following this, the pace slows significantly with 'Looters', which deploys swampy bass drones and choppy drum slices to give us some really cool variation. Amazing work!
