Review: As one of Bristol's brightest dubwise sparks, it's always exciting to see Drone return to action, this time around unloading a full length album project, courtesy of the legendary 1985 imprint. In short, it's a masterful display of sonic development, from the slower, more grungy introductory squelches of 'Cyclone' through to the face-melting synth swipes of 'Burnt Lungs' and grime drum-skips of 'The Swamp'. From start to finish, this project showcases Drone's innate ability to to deliver high energy originals, both solo and in collaboration with the likes of Alix Perez, Deft, Snowy, Emz & Nah Eerto. Our highlights have to include the juke-driven carnage of 'Jugtown' alongside Hyroglifics, which packs an energetic slap, next to the euphoric embrace of 'Always' which sees Notion join the party for a lively link up. Overall, pure awesomeness!
Review: The enigmatic Drone touches base on Project Allout with a hot, ripping new single accompanied by a handsome remix package. The original "Skengman Mode" is a high-tech grime hybrid backed by a fierce percussion flex; among the remixes, you got Spooky's wobbled-out version, Mr Dubz's broken beat reinterpretation and a whole load of other low-end goodness by the likes of Moony, Notion and other label regulars.
