Review: Next up on Coyu's label is a compilation that really lives up to its title. _Power starts and finishes with tracks from GLIA - the grungy, vocal-led "2x Gola" and the eerie, stepping "Laws Of Physics And Karma" - while on "External Body" Marina George lays down a tough acid track. The compilation moves a few notches in the intensity levels with Ana Lilia's pounding "In Too Deep" and the wild ghetto stomp of Zaphy's "Wein". However, _Power never strays into senselessly banging territory and Rouge delivers a superb, ebm-style workout on "Prism" and Cora's "Exit" is a linear tribal track that resounds to lean, steely percussion.
Review: Blooming inside of a French scene bursting with house, rave, electro, juke and footwork flavours is Hyas who makes his debut here on Chat Noir ! It follows previous records with Trusted Meds and Light On Earth. For a quicker, hi NRG take on house elements check out the looped twang of "Jesus Pierre" while get your electro and Italo fix from "Too Much Zbrif". Chicago ghetto house hits the fore in "This Bitch" with Hyas bringing the EP back to a sweaty clubzone in "Trauma Post Traumatique" that throws in a pinch of UKG, partaaay!
Review: With the exceptional re-emergence of garage in the UK over the last twelve to eighteen months, we are seeing people get more and more creative with it. Higgo is an artist who breathes creativity, holding such a unique sounding production style in his fingertips at all times. This brand new project with Rare Supply kicks off with the title track '95', a nostalgic skippy groove, driven by super bouncy drum and sub infusions. Next we land on the jazzy riffs and soulful harmonies of 'Meet Me In The Middle', before we finish up on our personal favourite 'Work', again driven forward by some immensely sidechained drum designs.
