Review: When it comes to all things bass-related, you can safely count on the Lowup imprint for good vibes and absolutely all sorts of flavours to get the dancehall going! Usually, they're the masters of the EP format, but this various artists compilation couldn't have come soon enough; thanks to the diversity of artists that they have on their catalogue now, it was only a matter of time before the likes of DJ Mellow, Tommy Kid and Klan Guru got together under one roof. There are fifteen killer cuts on here, all showcasing something different and equally explorative, form the Arabic-inspired sounds of Gan Gah's "Violons", to Kid Cala's quirky house oddities, and Jowaa' creole club sounds. Outernational music for extraterrestrial people.
Review: Having infused dubstep with a taste of Angolan Kuduro music as well as other global influences, Estonia's Bert of Beats has his excellent "Antenna of Tallinn" remixed by an equally global cast of producers on this new release. Munchi eschews his trademark moombahton sound on his huge, juke-tempoed mix of "Bone Dat" while epic German mentalists Schlachthofbronx create a rich tech-kuduro version of "Alemao" - sounding plenty like Buraka Som Sistema in the process. Daniel Haaksman also turns in a breathtaking mix of "Bone Dat" which gets a footwerk treatment thanks to some unrelenting claps and punishing sub bass.
