Review: Once again, the System Music crew have touched down with the dubstep flame alive and well, welcoming the innovative production mind of V.I.V.E.K to the table for a fiery three track display. First up, the title track 'U Dub' delivers a spatial exploration through floating synthetic soundscapes and moody sub textures, followed closely by the more creeping sounds and clunky sub stutters of 'Voices'. The atmosphere continues to expand as we then roll into a highly memorable finale, as the grizzly LFO squelches and hypnotic synthesiser slides of '108' give us a vibey finale.
Review: Adam K. Roll first got to know the Echo Inspectors through a chance encounter, but it took another 15 years before he made his debut on Primary Colours. Not that this is a deterrent for Kroll, the label and the listener. On The Final Call, he delivers a unique take on dub. The title track features slivers of Jamaican toasting. Remaining in abstract territories, both "Into The Ocean (Reborn)" and "Kassiopeia Dub" have echoes of Pole's digital dub pathos. It's not all introspective sound scapes though. "Heliospheric" is a wonderfully woozy deep house roller. Echo Inspectors also impress with an evocative, gently chugging take on "Into The Ocean (Reborn)".
