Review: The Hardcore Energy crew have once again delivered us an absolute treat as they welcome the combined sounds of Subbreak, D-Region & Code for two tracks of futuristic flames. We begin our dive with 'Catch You Breath', a jittery swing through breathy chord progressions, throwback drum sprinkles and moogy bass melodies to match. The energy level is therefore through the roof when we move onto 'Sanction', a weighty follow up indeed. This one features violent LFO sweeps and droning synthesiser punches, topped with eerie vocal layers to give us a truly sumptuous B-side, rounding off another top quality two tracker from the Hardcore Energy team.
Review: Codebreaking, body-shaking, earthquaking sounds: Bristol's D-Code make their debut on Boylan's On Point Audio with two super-slamming bassline cuts. "Trouble Makers" is all about the vicious sandpaper funk on the bass textures while "Infidel" has a great twist in its tale as it breaks down from a rough distorted bassline into an arm-raising ravey signature before dropping back into the chaos. Killer business.
Review: Bristol bass man D-Code comes through with a devilish debut EP: "Popshow" sets the scene perfectly with its switches between wild breakbeats and gruesome bass tones on the main riff while "X-Rated" lives up to its name with a toxic metallic bass hook. Bringing up the rear are the radar-style ping-pong riot "Prolong", the guitar-strumming soul switch-out "Quicksand" and the straight up and physical feverish jump up funk of "Impossible". A highly accomplished debut EP.
