Review: Dynamic Forces follows last year's Hardride release on Planet Rhythm with this firing four-tracker. "First Day of Life" is a Purposemaker-style dense groove, replete with insistent stabs and vocal snatches. Clocking in at the 140bpm mark, it gets the release off to a frenetic - but funky - start. "New Set Up" resounds to a similar tempo, but on this occasion, atmospheric synths lend the arrangement a deeper edge. In contrast, "Plague" is all about its bruising drums, utilitarian claps and a pounding rhythm. Returning to Millsian influences again, Dynamic Forces drops "Tango". This time, the focus is on a white-knuckle ride through grainy, relentless minimalism.

Review: Following releases on Be As One and Planet Rhythm, Dynamic Forces land on Hardgroove with a suitably club-friendly EP. "Glitter Skin" is uncharacteristic for a label that is synonymous with looped techno, and instead is focused on deep, ethereal sounds. The title track is more in keeping with the Hardgroove style as a repetitive stab is set to a lean groove. "Tempo" is tougher again, with the pair dropping robust drums, while a different approach prevails on "Raindance". Led by a loose groove and chilling synths, these elements make for a potent combination. "Invert" deploys darker musical elements, with ominous chords set to a rolling rhythm.

Review: Another day, another dollar... and another release from the ever-prolific Fokuz imprint. This time round it's a three-track EP entitled "There Was A Girl 2011" featuring two tracks from Flowrian and another collab between Intelligent Manner & Dynamic. The title track is all lush twinkling melodies, atmospheric sweeps, dusty breaks rattling and a breezy, distant vocal - a stunner from Flowrian here. Next, "So Sincere" (the collab track) is all twinkling, fairy dust showers and clicking, rolling breaks with gently humming b-line. "Rhino Lands", the concluding track, sees Flowrian back in the hot seat with pattering beats, quirky SFX and the occasional toot of a trumpet.

Review: Dynamic steps up with a couple of lush, liquid rollers on the Fokuz imprint; first up is "Memoirs From Neon City" with its fidgety background melody, reverberating vocal element, and firm, thumping drum kicks. It rolls along for the duration with warm sub bass shining through from below and little edits adding interest. Accompanying it is "And We Flew Into The Night" which builds from a shimmering intro full of triangle-like synth sparkles and humming harp strings, into a gentle little ditty with spaced out atmospherics and yearning vocals.

Review: Dynamic, Pixel and Blade team up for this four-track Soul Hypnosis EP which is full of mellow, feel-good vibes for the duration. Kicking things off is Dynamic's "Indelible" with its soft, breezy atmospheric sweeps, timid breaks and glistening melodies. Next is Pixel's "Doubt" with its tripping beats, swirling piano melodies and hypnotic glow, whereafter Dynamic & Blade team up for "Soul Hypnosis" which is a more sparse offering, dominated by pattering beats and echoing vocals. Then Pixel draws things to a close with the soothing sounds of grand finale "Sequential".

Review: A fun filled four-track EP on Fokuz here, with Dynamic heading it up and then a slew of collabs with Command Strange to finish it off. First up though is his solo release "Cotton Club Thing" which is a lovely, jiving slice of funk filled D&B with rattling breaks and oodles of soul. Next up is the eponymous track of the EP "Girls" with its swirling melodies and chiming beats; then there's the more serious sounds of "Jazzmine" with its jazzy beats and laid back allure. Finally "So Much Tenderness" rounds the EP off with a shimmying chirrup.

Review: Dynamic presents The Modal Lounge Sampler on Fokuz and the clue hers is in the title - laid back, lounging music with oodles of soulful sexiness. The four-track EP starts with an instrumental of "Inner City Love Affair" - a sultry, shimmying affair with twinkling atmospherics. We then move on through "Lovers Flight" which is all lapping breaks, cooing vocals and seashore SFX, to "Starlit Romance" with its insistent pattering intro, harp strumming and oriental allure. "Skyward Vibes" is the concluding cut and rounds things off in style for Dynamic.

Review: Dynamic brings us a truly enchanting album in the shape of Modal Lounge. "Feel The Way You Do" gets things started with a flurry of rattling breaks, chirpy instrumentals and muffled song, before we move through the lush, lilting rhythms of the aptly named "Fade Away" to woozy, soulful laidback loveliness in cuts like "Manhattan Love Theme" and "Softly Spoken Night". "Nighttrain To Montmartre" continues the romantic theme, with gorgeous, breezy atmospherics. Elsewhere we have the sultry "Modal Lounge" and concluding cut "Old Brooklyn Thing". A great album to unwind to of a summer's evening.

Review: A cracking various artist EP here from a range of artists new and old on the Fokuz label. Getting things started with its smokey, jazz-infused tones is Dynamic's "Up My World" which is all shuffling breaks and swirling atmospherics. Next is Sunny Crimea's "I Want It" which pairs iconic chuckling breaks with shimmying trumpet tones and warm, undulating bass below. After that it's over to Rowpieces for "Concept Of Love" with its low-slung humming and rattling percussion and cool swagger, before Kredit's "Captured Moments" rounds things off in style.

Review: A neat little compilation EP from Focuz shows us all what their latest upstarts have to offer to the world of liquid and Drum & bass. Kicking off with Dope's chilling switcher, it's got a stepper bounce but the smooth bassy vibe to pull off any mid-set breakdown. Dynamic plunges in next with a soulful sparkling roller, giving nothing away for the next few tracks which happen to be complete departures from his signature sound. Maceo & The Cracks pump junglist vibes into old school hip hop and James Brown funk, and Presents whips out a clean-cut techy sound perfect for slicing through the abundance of genres already heard along the way. A nice selection.

Review: Another day, another dollar, another treat from the ever-prolific Fokuz imprint. This time our dose of aural medicine comes courtesy of Dynamic, who serves up the Tokyo Blur EP, a gorgeous collection of tunes with a lush, atmospheric theme. First up is aptly entitled "Beautiful Moments" with its tinkling piano keys, sweeping melodies and gently shuffling drums. Then it's on to "Tokyo Blur" with its melancholy strings and more hollow beats, it carves a fascinating journey with twists and turns across its four-minute duration. "The Feeling's Right" ups the ante with terse beats and dreamy, sweeping atmospherics before "Midnight Sublime", a collab with Pouyah, draws things to a poignant close.
