« Previous EntriesReview of Colditz by Zed Bias on Aquatic Lab Records
Thursday, July 30th, 2009Dutty now for the future.
I’ve been waiting on a Zed Bias release ever since purchasing the blistering Deadly Dub Constructor sample pack, and Colditz delivers. This is a beat that bites, the mental keys knock out the theme and the drum and bass kick off big style in back. A serious tune, that will have [...]

Review of Super Dub Stylin’ by DJ Gnome and Sub-versive
Sunday, July 26th, 2009They Do It In A Rub-A-Dub Style
Big on the melody, big on the bass, sweet on the joanna. DJ Gnome rolls it in full package style. A right banger from start to finish this, with winning elements throughout. Everyone knows dub is a summertime thing, open windows, volume up and join the party, and no [...]

Review of Gettin’ Harder by Nick the Kid, Lee H on Drizzly Records
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009I Am Your Automatic Lover.
Teched up house vibes, lent a disjointed edge courtesy of the Gettin’ Harder refrain laid over a most insistent rhythm pattern. Minimal and hypnotic, this is a beat designed to get you on your feet and keep you there. An atmospheric edge keeps things on the right side of repetition, and [...]
Review of Consept-Subculture by Consept on In Da Jungle Recordings
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009This Ragga Is A Must
Sweet, sweet music. Soulful jungle, served up like it should be….extra cool. Like a flower they gave this one room to grow, and like a flame they gave it air to breath. Reggae elements drift around a chilled drum backed up with monster fills. A bow wow bass sound and dreamed [...]
Review of Radio Beat by Marc Mac on Omniverse Records
Monday, July 20th, 2009Delightfully off the wall, this is my pick from Marc Macs recent Between the Lines album. I’ve gone for the instrumental version, others may prefer the Radio Heroes vocal track. Both tracks represent the off centre flavour encapsulated throughout the larger release. Check out Take a Trip for mellow vibes. In every case here the [...]

Saturday, July 18th, 2009Dj Hypnosis brings us an addictive vibe with a warm jazzy base line and a groove which has the stamp “cosiness” written all over it.Just give it a listen and you’ll understand why it’s called The Harmony.
Lounge bars, radio’s and restaurants fond of this kind of music, shouldn’t hesitate on this one. Your audience will [...]
