Review: Yo, this is Ed Rush's debut solo album. We repeat - this is Ed Rush's debut album! Don't waste your precious time read this description, just mark our words, trust your own gut instinct and acknowledge the Virus founder's incredible consistency, influence and skin in the game... You already know this is going to slap. It's going to slap hard! Chances are you've heard some of it either in the sets of DJs such as Black Sun Empire, A.M.C and Mefjus or on Vision Radio. Chances are you've already bought the samplers and you've been waiting for this moment all your life. Chances are you've stopped reading and bought this already. Essential late night tackle from a genuine don.
Review: Feeling sleepy? Need a cosy little rest all cuddled up in your comfies? Well don't go asking GinX over... He'll sing you a 'Lullaby' so cold and deathly you might as well marry Freddy Kruger. Pure laser-infested grot, this vibe is carefully maintained throughout as GinX gets more and more twisted with his sound design and processed demonic vocals. Each cut painting from a similar sonic palette (think somewhere between Simula and Toxinate), there's a dark allure to the whole EP and a lot of great mixing potential. Rock-a-by me babbers!
Review: Following a slew of killer releases last year on the likes of Biological Beats, Program and Jungle Cakes, the currently unstoppable Jenks returns to Born On Road with two more addictive party-melters. 'Chimes' is one of those naggy tunes that are super fun to mix in over pretty much any blend and will always get a wild reaction while 'Frequency' gets even heavier with its ravey riff and drop into pure guttural gully. Power moves!
Review: It's that thyme again! Filthy Habits are off to Tescos and heading straight for the condiment aisle for a little spice and seasoning. First up is 'Herb Deal', a bouncy bubbler that nods at the mid 2000s dancefloor sound and stinks of oregano. Elsewhere the tarragon-tinged 'Right Here' gets all switchy with its tear-out drops and bleepy flips while the swaggering Hazardian 'Brain Functions' will batter you will until you swear everything smells like dill. Deeper into the spice rack we reach for 'Disconnected' and shake our hips to the rattling rosemary scented loose limbed breaks while 'The White Feather' is a much colder, almost electro-informed stepper. It also reeks of parsley.
Review: Word on the street is that there's going to be a YouGov petition to get DJ Hybrid to change the name of Deep In The Jungle to something more honest such as Absolutely Banging In The Jungle or Rinsing Hard In The Jungle. He's going to have to with cuts like these from Lowriderz or trading standards will be on to him... Each cut is a walloping floor-flattener! Highlights include the really sleazy dark feeling with 'Soundbwoy' (featuring Enek) and the raw funk fusion and snake-like percussion of 'Hybrid Skank VIP' but the whole EP totally wallops. Big love to Lowriderz and DJ Hybrid.
Review: Fresh off the presses of Jungle Cakes Records comes the "Survival" EP, a four-track journey guided by the skilled hand of Gold Dubs. No stranger to production, Gold Dubs leverages his years of experience and diverse influences - from bassline to DnB - to craft a dynamic and electrifying listen. The EP kicks off with the aptly titled "Survival," a collaboration with Kalum featuring the distinctive lyricism of Rider Shafique. This track hits hard, both sonically and thematically, with pulsating basslines, warped sub frequencies, and expertly layered FX. Next up is "Infinity" a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a distinctly 90s vibe. Think sharp sub bass, heavy percussion, and vocal samples and synths that evoke a bygone era. Offering a stark contrast, "Bliss" lives up to its name. Soaring, spacey risers and futuristic basslines create a sense of weightlessness, perfectly complemented by the mesmerizing vocal effects. The EP closes with "Too Late," a showcase of Gold Dubs' mastery of the bassline genre. Warped subs, pulsating basslines, and tastefully sparse synths combine with captivating vocal samples to create an infectious groove. This is a track that will leave you hitting repeat and craving more.
Review: Gino & Harry Shotta just dropped a fresh EP called "It's Mad / Punished" on Crucast. Kicking things off with "It's Mad," this track hits you with an instant surge of energy right out the gate. The thumping basslines and infectious groove just grab hold of you and don't let go until the ride is over. Moving to "Punished," and we're in a darker, grimier zone. The eerie melodies and nasty basslines create this tense, suspenseful vibe that keeps you on your toes. But as the track builds and builds, it just explodes into this intense barrage of hard-hitting bass and beats that leaves you feeling it deep down.
Review: Spreading the positive vibes for well over 20 years now, D&B solider Heist lays down pure gold with this epic spread on Logan D's Low Down Deep. He's in good company on the title track, too, as Inja brings the wise words on 'Good Over Evil' before Jim goes solo for the rest of EP, slamming down bubblers and bruiers alike. 'Beg For Your Lives' is a tremendous highlight with its big splashy drums and twisted vocal sample, elsewhere 'Drop The Gun' goes full-on stripped back and bumping and 'Light Speed' is all about that wobble. Evilly good!
Review: Submorphics on ThirtyOne! How cool is this? We could write a risotto recipe for the rest of this text because you already how this situation is going down. Supreme frequencies, silky smooth and starlit, surging up into the cosmos at 174pmh with a powerful sense of hope and futurism. Some trips are more vibrant than others, however. And forever bright leap and bleep of cuts such as 'Odanata' and 'Astroglider', there's a much darker Detroitian bite to the lead track 'Galattico' and the deeper, more belligerent 'Bluntnose'. Infinity thumbs up.
Review: One of Subway Soundz most consistent operators right now, Duece lets rip with another clutch of jump-up rib breakers. 'Shimmy Salsa' sets the pace with venom. Nagging and infectious, this one kicks hard for the doubles. Elsewhere other highlights include the rump shaking drama of 'Take Ya Time', the super grizzly face melter 'Nothin' To Worry About' and a very special VIP of 'Listen Up'. Shimmy shimmy ya!
Review: Buckle up for a high-octane ride with "Bomb Squad (Bou Remix)" on Low Down Deep Recordings. This remix by Bou injects fresh energy into the original track, taking it from jump-up territory to full-fledged drum & bass annihilation. The remix wastes no time in establishing its dominance. Gone are the original's playful elements; Bou slams the listener with a barrage of breakneck drumwork and a sub-bassline that will rattle your speakers. The signature jump-up sound is still present, but it's been twisted and contorted to create a more aggressive soundscape.
