Review: All gully on the Western front; Dead Man's Chest's label begin to present a brand new Blunted Breaks compendium. The last one, released 2018, did serious damage with the likes of Coco Bryce, Thugwidow, Earl Grey and Tim Reaper in the blend and there's no doubt this collection will do the same as friends old and new collide to celebrate the broken beat in all its blunted and deeper forms. Response & Pliskin set the scene with big breezy pads wrapped up over classic rave breaks. Serious 6am business. They're followed by The Dreamers affiliate D'TCH with the sublime halftime exploration 'Re-reparation' before Coco Bryce sends every single hair on your body on end with his twist Double O's 'God Is A Woman'. Last but not least Eusebeia closes the deal with a nod to the old Moving Shadow days. Keep it blunted.

Review: Emerging drum and bass producer outta Bristol Crypticz has impressed in recent years with an opening bevvy of releases on the labels like Chris Dexta's Different Music and most recently Rudimental. Granted a debut record on Alex Eveson's Western Lore imprint (think Deadman's Chest, Thugwidow and Sonic) Between Dust & Time finds its passage through deep storytelling and wild production techniques. At 12-minutes long, "Broadcast Feeling" ventures through a soundscape of ambient bliss and liquid drum and bass rhythms punctuated by snippets of jungle and soundsystem culture. A hugely atmospheric release, the beatless arrangements on show here are as blissful as its rhythm sections are body moving, just like tracks "Journey Through The Rings Of Saturn" and "Nightshifter's Groove". Always dubby, Between Dust & Time focuses on high end rhythms, submerged basslines, and special kick drum design. The way liminal dub, drum and bass should be; frenetic and tribal that spans an ocean of ambiance.

Review: Coco Bryce is a jungle wizard unlike any other, he has such a specific and recognisable sound that you can recognise one of his tunes from a mile off, he's an absolute master at using samples to maximum effect and is just generally an all-round badman. Where does that leave us with his new EP? Well, it means that, unsurprisingly, it's bloody brilliant. A masterclass in spacious, atmospheric jungle that packs a punch but stays true to the roots of the genre. It's the sort of release you have to own on vinyl to truly appreciate, it's wax-worthy, that's for sure. Just check it, yeah?

Review: As always with Alex Eveson, a release is all or nothing at all; from audio to artwork to quality of the materials, everything is true to the craft. Behind the EP's striking skull of tron come three sublime slices of jungle: "High Noon In Cotham" is unhurried, wrapped in atmospheres and armed with a divine switch while "Darkness At Dawn" rattles with heavy rave references as a subtly euphoric arpeggio plays a lead role. Finally we're brought back down to earth the rolling halftime dub funk of "Hangman Posse" where a textured riff ebbs and flows over a deliciously spacious break before dropping to some stone cold blues. Crafty.
