Review: Mampi Swift's Charge Recordings don't release regularly, but when you have a name that renowned at the helm of things, it's inevitable that the music is going to be fantastic. That's very much the case with this single from Atom UK, who is landing on Charge with a brilliantly diverse two-tracker. The A-side, 'Tearout', does what is says on the tin as a punishingly heavy back-end spins out of control amidst a flurry of breaks and club-friendly low-frequency pressure. 'How We Do It' takes a chill pill in comparison but doesn't slip down that road too far, as a floating vocal sample nonchalantly sits above a belching, stabby bassline. Wicked.
Review: Mystery Manny badmen Think Tonk undergo the remix treatment with two of V's most consistent and forward-thinking artists. L-Side takes "What A Ting" apart and flips it into a brutal steamroller, continuing the high-grade uppsettery he's been doing with his remixes of Dillinja and Krust. "How We Do It Tonight" meanwhile gets boosted by Command Strange. Another V don who's yet to deliver a bad jam, he gives the original a super-tasteful treatment maintaining all the soul and heart of the original while adding a little extra weight. Thinking man's crumpet, thonking man's trumpet; everyone involved in this release can do no wrong.
