Review: Following his scene-shaking Metalheadz EP, the unstoppable Heist machine continues it demolition mission, this time on his own label Sumo. "Mancubus" all Doom, no gloom as a funk-coded jump-up arrangement is peppered with animated samples and squiggles. "Grotty Chops" is a much more traditional happy slapper with its sandpaper bassline shredding up and down the spectrum, pummelling drums and clear references to the women in your family. Heist is killing it even more than usual this year.

Review: Few men do it like Heist. In fact no one does... Especially when he's on a stripped back gully flex like "Pillager". It's the tune every jump-up track wants to be when it grows up; fat, simple, hooky but still classy and funky. It's an impossible combination but he's nailed it. "Egg Plant Mans", meanwhile, shows off Heist's jungle wizardry with iced out Headz-style textures weaving in and out of the robust breaks before another guttural bassline thunders your senses. Seven of your five a day.

Review: D Minus presents us with Hoes on Death By Bass recordings. Offended yet? If not; read on. Four nasty nasty darkside techsteppers on offer here. Obviously the affectionately titled title track with its vocoded vocals and tightly programmed beat that slaps you in the face. "West Side Grade" offers more of the same but its bassline is a right grating one! On "Sledgehammer" Traumatik proudly proclaims "I love my Cannabis/if you don't like me/drink a can of piss", right then. Finally "Another Planet" hammers the message home, a true stepper with attitude.
