Review: Young Mannik tears into 2024 with his biggest, baddest release so far... 'Imperfection' on OnlyDrums. Featuring the likes of 10AD and Zootie, this six track shredder session is a full-strength attack of the senses with nothing but the dancefloor in its targets. Highlights include the sheet metal slaps and scrapes of 'Scatty Bro' (with Zootie), the cold, tense build-up and savage drop of 'Bitch' and the lower, gravelly dirt blasts of 'Guardian'. Perfect.
Review: What a cracking year 2023 has been for the OnlyDrums collective. Wallop after wallop, smash after smash, every release from the label has been check-on-sight and this VA of brand new originals is definitely no exception. Representing the new-gen to the max, cuts like NTG & Masson's high voltage 'Last Vice', Decrypt's addictive low-slung mischief-maker 'Everything I Do' and the wild rasping laser bass of Zootie & Masimba's brilliantly titled 'Daddy's Got A Gun' all fire with a fresh unruly energy and that's barely scratching the surface of this exceptional collection. We can't wait to see what OnlyDrums bring in 2024!
Review: Another wicked selection makes its way to the front of the store here from the Onlydrums team, welcoming both Foe & Kensei inside for six tracks of raucous original energy. First up, the pair combine their productive talents on the hellish soundscapes of 'Demons', followed by the twisted backdrops and syncopated drum slides of 'See The Love'. Next, Foe arrives on solo duty as 'Flying Kick', firstly providing us with a bulbous bass slap, focussing on stripped back drum designs, followed by the audacious synth ideas of 'The Immortal' for a nice contrast. Finally, Kensei delivers two additional heaters with 'Territory' being a nuclear weapon, ready to detonate lethal synth designs on any dancefloor, alongside the more roller-driven arrangements of 'Feeling Lucky'. Top work from both!
Review: Released 18 months ago, Decrypt returns to his monstrous "Too Dutty" and gives it a serious VIP lick of paint. Big reeces, cut throat breaks and a drop into the springiest of riffs, it's a hurricane of savagery hurtling at you at a speed of 174BPM. Need even more drama? Get busy with Smuggler's remix. Barking basslines and swooping strings on the breakdown, this really is so dutty you need a wash after dropping it.
