Monday, June 29th, 2009Blistering dub beats, high grade lyrics, big time summer night tune, bubbling against oppression. The word that comes to mind is timeless. I (and I) have been checking for music of this calibre all my life, and that’s a good few years, so believe me when I tell you Rusko has knocked out an instant [...]
Review of Animal Logic by Decibel Brothers on Atomic Zoo Recordings
Friday, June 26th, 2009A heavy duty opener to this four track remix album. Take it from me the bass ain’t shy as this bad boy jumps off. You can feel the music is taking you somewhere, and then it really kicks in. Hugely dirty, with gritty hats underneath, and monster soundbite cut ups by way of a vocal. [...]

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009An Itch You Can’t Scratch
Keeping on a full on tip, check this disjointed banger. Like an allergic reaction this dirty electro groove will get under your skin and stay there. Hot summer night music, you can sweat one out to this, no messing. There is a stripped down feel to the proceedings, a jaded minimalism [...]
Review of No Money For Guns by High Rankin on Cheaper Thrills
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009Boom Bye Bye
Shock out rude boy, and don’t shoot the d.j.! More serious monster vibes coming out of the bd umbrella. This time we are chatting big dubstep, armed and extremely dangerous. Gangsta elements threaded together over original nutta basslines and fired up dirty beats. An absolutely blistering track this, and begging for inclusion on [...]
Review of Part of Hell by Satan on Monstersound Recordings
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009Easy Tiger
Or slow down, you fucking nutter. This is turn it up, heavy load mentalness, coming at you full tilt. Definitely one for the boys, don’t play it Granny, she’ll have a funny turn, and you better make sure that you are standing up, because you are going to J-U-M-fucking-P when you here this. I [...]
Review of War and Culture by Click Clone on Ultimate Ruler
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Everyone Out Of The Pool
Heavy duty, hardline grime on f*ckin’ bonkers tip. This is a serious collision of extreme dance elements, from the wibbly bass to the pumped drum breaks, to the sexed out saxaphone to the messed up timing of the tapped out rhythm track. Put it all together and what have you got? [...]
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 [...]
Review: Route by Uncou on Subton Minsk
Sunday, May 24th, 2009Here’s a soul techno track with a catchy, repetitive melody with a slow build up. It especially caught my attention as the track’s arrangement gets more emotional as it evolves from a rather monotonous tune into an emotional and kinda mysterious, spacey sound scape.
This atmosphere only gets stronger by the vocal sample brought in after [...]
Review of This Shit’s So Real-Hooliganz by Various unsigned
Friday, May 22nd, 2009Never Try To Tax Me Or Follow My Taxi
Top backing track, and the lyrics getting real. Buckle up for this, homegrown but powerful like skunk. Fresh, in that no-one is fronting here, and that comes over large. Everyone spits there bit right, but what makes this track for me is the first class music underneath [...]
