Review: Flipping fire between Saucy and Low Pitched, Spekktrum is slaying the system right now with a sound that refuses to sit in any one genre: grime, breaks, garage, bassline. It's all in his pranged-out icy cold melting pot. "The Feeling" is a straight up riff-heavy 4x4 stomper while "G Force" takes a more frazzled, fractured approach while "Quantum" causes early 90s flashbacks before sucking us back into the present day by way of a dangerously grizzled bass drop. Serious feelings.
Review: Over the years, Joey Negro has delivered compilations focusing on a wide range of styles and sub-genres, including soulful disco, Italo-house, early U.S disco-rap, and Washington D.C go-go. Now he's turned his attention to electro, the style that did more than any other to inspire Britain's first wave of DJs and dance music producers. This "personal collection" contains a mixture of stone-cold scene classics - Aleem's Leroy Burgess-fronted "Release Yourself", Hashim's scene anthem "Al Naayafiysh (The Soul)" and Dwayne Omar's P-funk influenced "This Party's Jam Packed" - alongside deeper selections such as Kosmic Light Force's brilliant - and hard to find - L.A electrofunk classic "Mysterious Waves", and The Russell Brothers thrillingly intergalactic "The Party Scene".
