Review: Having wandered from label to label, relative newcomer Reagan Grey seems to have settled nicely with the Shifting Peaks crew. Here on his second consecutive release for the label, he presents two versions of sultry club anthem "Shadows Over None": a swirly deep-house pop cut and a sleeker, more stripped-back soulful dub. It's the title track though that really shines - a percussive acid-gurner with more 90s pads than a vintage Bodyform advert.

Review: Well, the UK's Shifting Peaks have really gone and done it with this latest leviathan of a compilation, an anthology of their best and most wanted from 2010 until now. Inside, there's talent and plenty of club antics bouncing off the wall left, right and centre; with over fifty cuts there's enough to go around and satisfy a whole artillery of bass-heads. Some of the stand-outs for us are Tessela's "Yes You Can", Hackman's "Always", "Put You Down" by Odessa, and OM Unit's remix of "Reach Out" by Nphonix. What a belter,
go forth and indulge!

Review: Fusing the best elements of garage and house (see what he's done with the title?) UK freshman Rad Bit lays down three distinctive dance documents: the title track is a fresh suckerpunch for all the cookie cutter wannabes as he joins the low-end dots between real jazzy deep house and silky rolling UKG skips and subs. Elsewhere "You Don't Clap" is so wonky it needs three legs to stand straight while "Never Work" is a straight up strutty bebop stamper that wouldn't sound amiss in a Carl Craig set. Beautifully diverse yet consistent.

Review: A battle-scarred veteran of the future wars some years back, Clueless has been enjoying a recent purple patch following a period of only sporadic releases. Here on the Shuttle EP he proves he's still on a roll, delivering four new sizzlers - the anxious, unsettled and speedy minimal garage of the title track, the dark steppy boom of "Leo", the skewed angular tech-funk of 'Synth Hits" and the infectiously skippy pop-step of "I Don't Know". Ghetto lovin' hero Rushmore also delivers a killer of a remix.

Review: Fresh from making his debut on Balans, the bleepy and linear techno offshoot from Darko Esser's Wolfskuil label, Nphonix touches back down in bassy territory with his second EP on Shifting Peaks following last year's Reach Out EP. Things sound full and electronic on the title track, which merges disjointed Detroit techno with muffled Chicago house. "Drifting in Barnard 68" is as dank as it is dub, hit by a flurry of breakbeats wrapped in a swirl of cloudy atmospherics. This release's third and final track has a footwork vibe of repetition, though slightly less frenetic, but still features a workout of drums and synth stabs that sounds like a UK incarnation of a slamming Kyle Hall joint.

Review: Shifting Peaks are slowly but surely carving out a niche in world of bass, and they're doing it their own way. Although Working Girl have a vaguely urban sheen, their heart is deep in the electro-pop world of the early '80s. No bad thing with us, as "Sailing West" sounds like Howard Jones as produced by M83. Elsewhere highlights include the '80s prom flick new wave of "Naomi", the fizzed-out Prince-isms of "Aqua Neue" and the totally awesome moody Miami Vice-ish instrumental "Breathing Sand & Glass".

Review: There's a celebration of all things immediate and soulful in the modern house fraternity on this latest release for Shifting Peaks, as Reagan Grey steps into the light for the first time. With Sandy Duperval bringing a mature vocal delivery to "Owl", the chunky production gets lifted to the next level with plenty of bass and swirling pads to satisfy right across the board. "Feel The Pressure" similarly benefits from Christie Nelson laying down some lines, while on the buttons Grey gets into a more bumpy kind of groove. "Not Afraid" sees the producer cut loose from the moody vocal numbers and soar into a dream-like reverie via a choice line in starry-eyed pads. Futureboogie's Lukas is on hand for a remix of "Owl" that keeps the rhythm section at the front and the rest of the elements simmering in the background.

Review: The one like Pixelord comes through in full effect with a nasty, thumping VIP mix of his previously released ripper "Drinky". It's a slow-tempo, bass pile-driver with some delicious synth work and Gillespy's remix is even nuttier - rimshots, snares, the lot. Highly recommended.

Review: It's the third instalment of the Nasty Rips compilations on Shifting Peaks and by hell have these guys got the right idea. Sweet house and garage shuffles from all corners, including some pretty special numbers by the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Hackman, Odessa, plus plenty more house bullets for you to twist your boots to. This one comes recommended for those infected with the house bug!

Gettin Run Down EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Nphonix, Juno Recommends Experimental, Juno Recommends Bass, Druid Cloak, Modern Ruin Records
Review: Russia's Nphonix continues his creative journey away from his D&B roots with this new action-packed EP on the mighty Shifting Peaks. There's four tracks from the dark side of bass included here plus some bonus mixes. "Getting Run Down", is dreamy, space-out footwork (also presented in a slower guise), "Reach Out" is doomy post-dubstep, which also appears in a more juked-up version too. "Quite Savage" sounds like a clash between acid and electro in an industrial wasteland and "Person Inconnu" ends things on a bizarrely cheery jazzed-out squelch funk note.

Review: No prizes for getting that it's house o'clock round Odessa towers (it's always house o'clock round there). This EP features five incarnations of the aforementioned house; all different but assertive in their own way. The three originals take in delirious, jackin', frenzied piano house ("Get Right"), filthy warehouse, bassline-y hip-house ("Put You Down") and (best of all) minimal and techy after hours darkness ("Tell Me"). Winning the best remix of the package award is Artefact who delivers a totally out there deep and brooding remix that features some the deepest sub bass we've heard in ages!

Review: Born into life kicking and screaming back in 2010, London via North Devon label Shifting Peaks has slowly but surely earned a killer rep in the world of bass and underground house. This is their second compilation and boy is it packed full of goodies. Highlights include the melancholic urban-tropical vibes of Mak & Pasteman's "Do The Same", the psychedelic Chicago vibes of Marshall Jefferson & Noose Heads' "Mushrooms", the heartbroken jukeisms of Cut Off! Cut Off!'s "Second To None" and the sublime King Of Arabs' "The Years Without Art".

Review: Upcoming UK house pairing Mak & Pasteman show a healthy respect for the best of Detroit and London on this new release on Shifting Peaks. The essential title tune "Do The Same" is smothered in strong dreamy pads a la Derrick Carter, but spiced up hugely by an addictive vocal hook that's layered perfectly over blunt kicks and Carl Craig-style arpeggios. "Lost" is a more withdrawn and haunted 2-step winner, while "Mode" takes a familiar Junior Reed refrain but frames it perfectly over some rough snares and tough, grimy bass. An excellent release and definite names to follow during the course of the year.
