Monday, March 15th, 2010Drum And Bass Now Come In
Monstrously good tune, raising the dead like a re-animator. Can’t fault the rhythm track, samples to die for, a banging bass, sick pads, all formatted right and coming at you like an eighteen wheeler with a drunk driver driving. Let that warped wobble run you down in a sea of [...]
Review of Hit by d- Queque on Serious War Recordings
Thursday, March 11th, 2010You Gotta Ask Yourself, Do I Feel Lucky?
Ambient pads, a rocked out percussion section and some sick, phoned in bass patterns lift this one where it needs to be. From the stable of Dallas beatmaker David Quinones, Hit is that dark horse, a chilled tune with an obliquely sinister undercurrent. Reminds me of that scene [...]

Thursday, March 11th, 2010I Used To Be A Stick-up Kid
And I think of all the dubious things I did. Dark, twisted gun crime running head on into that dubstep nightmare that is this BB Bullet jam. Routine wobble goes seriously off the beaten track, nutcase elements waving firearms at drive-by shootings, windows down, speakers pumping.
Click, click, boom.

Review of Make Em Cum (Original Mix) by Richie August and Skope Diesel on Savory Audio
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Different Area Codes
Sweet soul in the fuck truck. A pure summer breeze of a tune on the back burner, and something for the ladies to hold on too. The vocal loop/chorus is a to die for here. I would have stopped right there, that’s a killer in it’s own right, but if you’re throwing in [...]
Bitches Be Hating (Loop Stepwalker REMIX) by RadioKillaz & Madam Queen on RadioKillaz Recordings
Thursday, March 4th, 2010Original Bad Boy Style
Cranked up gangsta strings, the bass from outer space for your face and the mega poppin’ kick, fucked up but still dropping science like bombs on friendly targets. I shy away from formula productions, but these guys have got the formula, all the right elements fired thru in all the right places. [...]
Review of King Tubbys submarine by Don Goliath on Dubstep Division Recordings
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants
Down, down, dragging me down. Natty dread on a sub mission. Effortlessly deep dub, full fathom five stations. Old skool in full effect, locked in underwater collision with fiercely subdued new style elements. This is everything I love about dubstep, respect for the architects but pushing forward, melody tinged with [...]
Review of Fuck by RDubz on Bass Punch Recordings
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Enjoy This Trip
Mechanized and dubwised this one will put two thru you. Top riff, a wow bass that is just plain off the scale and perfectly placed vocal sample are gonna move you and groove you. Not a roaring ruffneck steppa, but a definite bubbler none-the-less, Fuck is the pure diamond in an ocean of [...]
Review of Midgard by Ultracode and Streotype on Silk Recordings
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Different Colours Made Of Tears
Here is a tune to take you beyond the veil. Dreamy dub funk operating at the subliminal level, drifting through the inner layers of your consciousness. Something of Earthly pleasures and misty fjords hinted at on the one hand, an eternal serpent swallows it’s tail forever, deep sub and bubbling ambience [...]

Friday, February 12th, 2010Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You
Or indeed when your dubstep provider goes all BB King on your ass, chucks in a fat reggae b line, then finishes you off with the killer vocal hook ? Well let me answer that for you. First click play. Second click it again. Third buy it, and [...]
Review of Do You Remember (Original Mix) by Decree on Stupid Fly Records
Friday, February 12th, 2010Seven Brides For Dr Funkenstein
Monstrous cutting, chopping and restitching going on here. Nobody does it like this, I mean nobody. Staggered to fuck is the phrase that springs to mind. You are familiar I’m sure with tenets of broken beat, well forget that shit. Compared to this it’s child’s play. Start with the Earth Wind [...]
