Sunday, January 3rd, 2010Keep The Fire Burning
There is more than tinge of deep house about this winter warmer, but who’s counting anyway. Atmospheric synths, airy pads and an insistent build on the beats are going to carry you beyond any concerns regarding genre orientation. There is a move afoot within dubstep generally and dance music specifically to marry [...]
Review of Sex, Drugs & Rosenkohl by Stereofunk on Klang Gymnastik
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009The Only Rap That Bites
Furious, electro funk barn stormer, with spikes. From the get go S,D&R is all in your face, with a warped out synth riff and completely driven BIG beat drums, surrounded by the nutcase aura of just a full on, bonkers banger. Taken from the impressive Fools Planet album, this is just [...]
Review: One Note Samba by Slam on Paragraph
Saturday, August 1st, 2009Yeah, a review on a track by Slam? Do they still need their music reviewed? That was the thought coming in my mind the moment I used one of my tokens. But hey.. the harm is done, so here it goes.
Slam takes a kinda minimal approach on a samba rhythm but manages to keep it [...]
Review: Within Your Soul by Ross Couch on Body Rhythm Records
Saturday, August 1st, 2009This track is part of the new album by Mr. Ross couch and is one of the more soulful, if not the most soulful, track on this album “Night and Day”.

Review: U know 2 by Coffee Colour’s on Vector M Digital
Sunday, May 24th, 2009A funky groove, a sensual and hypnotic voice and an infectious rhythm are the ingredients this hip-swinging track takes off with. The base line makes the track stronger and doubles the hip-swinging effect.
The melody showing up after 2.40 minutes for the first time pushes the track onto the level of euphoria. From the start this [...]
Review: The Soul PtII by Craig Smith & The Revenge on Delusions Of Grandeur
Sunday, May 24th, 2009A monotonous and repetitve track which takes you by the soul from the start with it’s hypnotising and soft rhythm. A voice telling you to get “deep down” leaving the rest to make up to you in your own interpretation.
Monotonous and repetitive but yet soulful and pleasant. Deep down in your soul and that’s what [...]
