Review: Both behind the decks and in the studio, Joe Moses' sonic innovation has earned him a reputation as one of the scene's leading artists. One of the brains behind London's most influential club nights Soul In Motion (with Bailey) it expanded to create a record label/agency, as well as his own imprint - Zoltar. His next release comes courtesy of Germany's SUNANDBASS titled Ultra Violin. The title track is an expression in truly intelligent drum 'n' bass, that features an emotive string section playing centre stage to a backdrop of immaculately programmed rhythms. There's also the emotive roller "I Dip" and the fierce techstep riddims of "Refactory"

Review: Satl has smashed this one. Releasing on SUNANDBASS Recordings, Satl is the young Polish upstart who has been rolling out liquid gems for a few years now and turning some seriously heads while he does it, his ability to blend both light and dark is amazing and honestly every track he puts out is worth a listen. 'Bravehearts' is the highlight, featuring Dan Stezo on the vocals, this one just rolls and rolls, proving that you don't need a track to be complex for it to be amazing. There's loads of diversity on 'Acid Trip' and 'Maj', the two slightly more relaxed tracks, as well as on 'Low End Theory', which essentially is just a purely naughty minimal little roller. This EP is worthy of Satl and SUNANDBASS, so go check it out.

Review: Over a year has passed since he last appeared on SUNANDBASS Records with his "Serious" EP, FD returns to his spiritual stomping ground with three more timeless jams. As always with FD, the record covers the full spectrum; "All Yours" has a silky, soulful, Lenzman feel resonating throughout, "Second Villain" sounds like Randall in a basement at 3am while "Wah Wah Track" is a sunset reloader in waiting. Think Marky, think Patife, think Calibre. You know the drill...

Review: With a title such as "The Vibe is Coming", you'd expect this all-star excursion from the Sun and Bass Recordings camp to be chock full of breezy dancefloor positivity. DJ Patife and David WS deliver just that with the soulful reggae/D&B fusion of the title track, which features some wonderfully slick and emotion rich vocals from Fats. Alibi delivers two lilting chunks of audio sunshine: the hot-stepping dreaminess of "Feelings", where piano motifs and delicate horn samples tumble across the sound space, and the notably sub-heavy punch of Command Strange collaboration "Ahead of Me". Simplification and Translate join forces for closer "Don't Forget", a warm and attractive roller smothered in rubbery synth bass, whistling synth melodies and yearning vocals.
Review: Sun & Bass chief ARPXP doesn't release anywhere near as much as he should. But when he does.... Oh boy. "Fade Away"is Call To Mind era Commix style track.... Fava provides the soul but it's pinned by icy and chiselled precision production. "Fifth Step" is jazz in its nature as the linger pianos roam with a hazy looseness. "Dancers Of The Stars" tips a wry nod to Doc Scott with its Beltram bass thrusting with mid 90s edge. Finally, "Endless Summer". Check its breezy evocative textures and the name will make complete sense. Balmy army.
