Review: Next up from the ever-ready Liondub International, a throwback filled to the brim with lethal flavours as Conrad Subs touches down to deliver four tracks of pure dancefloor fire. We open up with the unpredictable synthetic twitches and reesey rumbles of 'Rave Report', setting the tone of the project nicely before 'Dough' gives us a more minimal fusion of growling bass notes and sharpened drum designs. Next, 'Big Chungus' opens up the roof for an even harder hitting sub-line, upping the ante even further as we move forward, with Speaker Louis providing some additional work on the well thought out rhythmic arrangements of 'Shots Fired'. Another tidy collection from the Liondub dynasty.
Review: Given that Divine Who is a gospel-disco rework project helmed by Greg Belson (one of the world's most renowned gospel diggers) and Midnight Riot chief Yam Who, you'd expect this second volume in their ongoing 'Altared Disco' series to be packed to the rafters with killer revisions of dusty and obscure gems. It is, of course, with the pair hitting the mark straight away with 'Dance' - a thickset disco-house affair in which soaring gospel lead and backing vocals rise above chunky beats, infectious piano riffs and swirling sonics. 'Never Turn Back (Jaegerossa Remix)' is another peak-time ready house-style revision of a piano-powered, hands-aloft gospel-disco treat, while 'Feel' puts a new spin on a slap-bass sporting chunk of early '80s gospel-electrofunk.
Visages & Monty - "The Most" (feat Killa P - original mix) - (3:31) 140 BPM
Review: Whenever we see the 1985 Music banner sailing into port, we know we are in for a good time, especially when it carries goods of the level of these from VIsages, who continues to impress with another killer 4 track drop. We open up with the title track 'Dol Guldur', a gnarly fusion of metallic bass tones, neurotic drums and spiced up vocals, followed by Snowy's high energy vocal performance on 'Evidently', a serious grimey throwback. Next, the more ethereal vocal slides and mind-melting synth pads of 'Panacea' flip the themes of the EP right on their head, with a killer vocal appearance from Killa P on 'The Most' giving us the final dash of juice to round this EP off in serious style.
Jay Jay & BlckHry - "Black Smoke" - (3:43) 175 BPM
Atomic - (3:51) 175 BPM
Rejected - (3:46) 175 BPM
Radiation - (4:26) 175 BPM
Review: The crew over at Subway Soundz have packed a serious box of weapons into this new drop, welcoming the enigmatic production abilities of Jay Jay inside for five rave-ready rollers. First up, 'No Drama' takes a high pitched synth screech and fuses it with gnarly LFO slides to match, before Blackhry arrives on 'Black Smoke' for a more abstract link, focussing on unique drum designs and super choppy rhythmic twitches. Next, pure jump up heat as the belching synth crunches of 'Atomic' and speaker-jamming subs switches of 'Rejected' provide back to back punchers, with the slapping drum arrangements of 'Radiation' bringing us to a cool finale. Nice!
