Review: Adelaide's Strict Face is a rising concern in contemporary grime circles, dealing in nutty, daring sounds that stretch the genre to its limits. Following a killer single for Gobstopper earlier this year, he lands on the sublime Tuff Wax with an immediately recognisable set of tracks. Using the genre as a rough guide for his broken, clicky percussion sounds float among dreamy pads and cosmic melodies, he creates tracks like "Slow Fields", an airy, ambient tune backed with some raucous gunshot-like sounds in the distance. Similarly, "In Evergreen" is a shimmering tune contrasted against a darker, more brooding two-step structure. All in all, a singular bunch of sounds which will tear any floor apart. Hot!

Review: Re-issue alert! Tuff Wax headmasters gave us this schooling over a year ago. But in case you missed it, they've re-upped this epic remix package of their 2010 smouldering 808 fusion piece "Black Diamond". Each rub takes the original in whole new directions... Rewrote gets lively with crazy vocal pitching and an effortlessly funky swing to the drums, Chrissy Murderbot gets busy on an old school jungle flex, Zubuntu gets clap-happy with an insistent trap jam, Lockah gets emotional with some poignant chord structures and delicate piano tickles, Strict Face gets moody and spacious with sparse drums and iced out old Metalheadz synth styles. Finally Moist Ghost gets ghetto with a loopy, infectious ode to jungle sentimentalities... Both old and new. Over a year old but still sounding wholly future, this is why Tuff Wax are respected in the way they are.

Review: When it launched back in 2011, Tuff Wax's Aberdeen Truth Series of 7" singles was an attempt to put the Granite City's blossoming bass scene on the map. Three years on, that aim has been accomplished, with the ultra-limited singles becoming collector's items. This digital compilation tells the story so far, collecting together tracks from the first four EPs. Musically, there's plenty of variety amongst the big basslines, fuzzy synths and quirky rhythms, from the lo-fi hip-hop oddness of Lookah's "Tonkl Fongrs" and post-dubstep atmospherics of Grobbie's "Grounded", to the aquatic footwork heaviness of Bones & Money's "Black Diamond" and crystalline "Footage 4 Days". Bass-heavy, eccentric and imaginative, the Aberdeen Truth Series is a fitting tribute to an often-overlooked micro-scene.

Review: The latest release to get the Tuff Wax treatment finds fresh talent Moist Ghost sidling up alongside Donky Pitch mainstay The Range with a slick modern jam each and a respective remix to accompany it, dealing in warm melodic tones that fuse a whole host of styles in dextrous fashion. Moist Ghost's "Call Me Up" has a deft skip to its 4/4 groove, while the synths come on in rich strokes evocative of 80s soundtracks. The Range takes a fractured approach to R&B processing that sports flecks of drum & bass in its glorious technicolour make up. Jaw Jam's remix of Moist Ghost works brooding industrial textures and smooth chords into a half step version of the original, and Grobbie turns The Range into an emotive dubstep behemoth.
