Review: A split release here, comprised of works from Morebeat on the figurative A-side and collaboration between NPhonix and Enei on the digital flip. "I'm Not A Monster" kicks things off with eerie, sci-fi sounding vocal snippet, rocket-launching va va voom and battering bass. Paving the way for a terrifying tear out slice of souped up D&B; it's an ear-splitting venture, which would no doubt have Ed Rush & Optical quaking in their boots! Flipping over, a rolling, spaced out intro to "Quicksilver" makes for an evocative entree to the tune which swiftly falls into a grouchy b-line roller with punishing reverb, hissing hi hats and rollicking rhythms a-plenty.
Review: Mad, bad and dangerous, legendary techstep German D&B-ster Tim Eliot, aka Current Value comes to the fore for part one of Guerilla Files Vol 1. Gird your loins as he goes in hard with the ferocity of a bull in a china shop - we're talking lacerating breaks, breathtaking tempos, pummelling drums and relentless and unforgiving energy in "Therapist", and much the same in flipside gem "Overclock". Gein then takes the reins for another supersonic venture into skullstep debauchery with techno informed beats, punching drums and merciless b-lines in abundance. Not one for the faint hearted.
Review: Two very cool D&B winners from Hungarian producer Zero Method, with "Show Me Your Face" tearing up a huge rhythm in a tight, techy style thanks to menacing hats and evil bass sounds, while "Mindstorms" keeps on a much more bleak and dubby vibe despite its 2-step rhythms.
Review: Fourward, who we've seen collaborate with Austrian duo Body & Soul in the past, steps up for a solo release in anticipation of his album on Citrus. It's souped up, high octane D&B all the way here, as Mindscape takes to the helm for his remix of "Wishes", which is synth-coated, rip-roaring tear out straight up. "Stuck" is a more tech-y number, with ticking breaks, industrial bellows and distorted synth lines all over the place. Approach with caution!
Review: A sweeping, crackling intro full of anticipation, beautifully enunciated beats and glitchy gurgles eases us into "Zebra's Crossing". A gorgeous murmuring bassline calls the shots from below in the slightly perturbing sketchy soundscape, in which downtempo, almost trance like atmospherics dominate in the distance. Up next, "Night Life" is a further existential exploration with a minimalist Perez/Rockwell style sensibility, with a deep, menacing b-line and glitched up beats shuffling round another in pared down glory. A nice release on the Dutch label.
Review: Austrian noisemakers TR Tactics and Phentix join forces for Citrus in this blistering duo of neurofunk destruction. The title track almost immediately unleashes a torrent of techy beats, rolling hard and crisp over deep, undulating bass. The other track offers no rest. As its name suggests, "Insanity" is relentless, hammering down hard stepping rhythms under minimal atmospherics and the darkest of techy basslines. Two tracks made for the dancefloor, this is after dark music.
