Review: Despite not being a name on everyone's lips, Belgium is, actually pretty freakin' awesome. They've given us lots of cool clothes, food and architecture, but in terms of music? Unbelievable. The previous two volumes of The Sounds Sound Of Belgium were mind-blowing excursions into uber stylish electronic music from disco to EBM to techno. Now we have Volume Three. We 56 examples of awesomeness here to get through but highlights include the punky creep-funk of "Poison" by The Weathermen, the staccato electro of "The Voice" by Telex and the techno on steroids mayhem of "Horsepower" by Ravesignal. This album is gold!
Review: Rewinds don't get any mightier than this: Plastician dusts off some of his oldest project files and shares them around some of the most exciting names in contemporary bass possible. The result is a flashback of stark futurist proportions. AWE throws down some of the deadliest kicks ever to be squeezed from an 808 on "Safari", Starkey chows down on some serious spluttering cuts on his ghetto gritty take of "Pump Up The Jam", Mr Mitch subverts "White Gloves" into a dreamy mesh of cascading melodies and sludgy halfsteps, N Type and Surge slurp directly from the dubstep geyser on "Hard Graft" while Inkke gets jiggy on his upbeat jitterbug flex of "Section 7". The first of three ace remix packages lined up from his album, you're guaranteed to be rewinding these all summer long.
