Review: Next up from the Section 63 Recordings team, we take in a very high energy drop indeed as Woolf & Guzi join forces for a very solid display in technical know how and junglist understanding. We kick off with the title track 'Firelighter', a drum heavy system smacker, constantly alternating between stripped back, sub-heavy phrases and more intense reese-lead breakbeat laydowns, giving the overall track a really well flowing feel. On the flip, 'Soundboy' allows us to tap into our nostalgic brainstems as the hardcore melodic sampling and intense, almost satanic sounding breakdowns give us something very different indeed!
Review: Man like Guzi returns to Sub-Division with newcomer Woolf. They're howling and it's full moon ever single night. Six cuts deep, each one laced in tension and drama, highlights include the Noisia-like rises and falls on 'EMP', the dreamy, Detroit techno flavoured arpeggios of 'Balance' and the two solo tracks; Woolf's 'Voices' is a rave echo hurricane with lush harmonics while Guzi's 'Floating' brings the EP to an emotional conclusion with its driving liquid purrs and barbed, restrained creepiness. Sub-Division have always laid out a fine spread, but this one is extra generous. Don't delay, don't betray.
Review: Sub-Division have absolutely bloody killed it with this one. Featuring 5 cuts from Guzi, Mains, Sam Harris, Sinexia and Woolf, The Division Vol. 1 is a collection of pure, gully rollers that all sit comfortably within the scene trends at the moment. All 5 of these could be talked about it in detail, but 'How I Feel' by Sam Harris stands out for the sheer audacity of its sub-bass, a wobbling, pulsating wall of energy that pushes out into all corners of the range. 'HND' by Sinexia is also top stuff, with a wonderfully solid percussive line and a grungy, gargling back end that'll have any head screwing their face up. Bangers!
