Review: Putting a whole new twist on the concept of liquid D&B, Need For Mirrors splashes down into 2025 with four oceanic oddities. Following on from his 'Orca' EP a few years back comes 'Whales'. 'Aqua Lung' kicks off and takes us 20,000 leagues deep with just a bassline bubble and heavy pressure textures, 'Boogie Bomb', 'Whales & World Peace' takes things to some pretty cosmic and introspective places while 'Goggles' takes things to a soft and solemn close, all twinkly and dreamy. Beautiful business: you'll have a whale of a time with these.
Review: Slowly piercing his way into the frey is one Kusp, a producer out of Poole in the UK delivering a mixbag of drum and bass hybrids. For this Sim005 for Soul In Motion the artist goes deep into drum and bass territory, most overtly in "Oracles", next to some classic, albeit, collapsing rhythms in "Run 2 U". Super crackling, future ambient drum and bass bliss! And should you need that little bit of samurai edge, look no further past the cherry blossom bloom of "Bushido".
