Monday, December 7th, 2009Mama Said Knock You Out
Top tune coming on all twitchy like wino in Threshers. From start to finish this little belter ROCKS. Pure energy underpinning excellent composition and precise placing of the right elements. The bass goes all over the place, but within the confines of the ultra pop sensibilities displayed here. Gotta love the [...]
Review of Here It Comes by Mischeif and Mayhem on Sound Solution Digital
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009Welcome To The Dream Arcade
Space and pace, the two key elements that lend this tune muscle. That and the fact that it sounds like the bastard son of a video game and a drum machine. Nothing dark here beyond a hint of substance abuse and a coin to slot mentality. The keynote features have to [...]
Review of Crazy Slut by Shufunk & Ken DMA on Code 46 Recordings
Friday, November 27th, 2009Working 9 To 5
Right let’s go. First off, this is a bang off tune, but you know when a sample raises a jam up from lovely to utterly terrific?, well that’s what’s going down here. Remember,” If your names not down your not coming in” ? that sample went bigger than the tune, people still [...]
Review of Interbellum by Replicator on Dnbart
Friday, November 27th, 2009No One Can Hear You Scream
Powerful, dark and painful. If you can emote to robot overloads on a destructo tip, then we got beats for you. I have a reasonably large vocabulary, but the closest I can come to describing this beast correctly, is absolutely and completely mental. The drum here is nothing short of [...]
Review of Big Skeleton by The Upbeats on Non Vogue
Thursday, November 12th, 2009I’m Not Fat, I’ve Just Got Big Bones.
Yeah, right.
Heavyweight musics, absolutely fired up and totally mental kick. Love the roll in there, nice touch. Strong, strong bass line, nutter drums and some off it cyclone on a monster build up raging away behind. I liked this track based on the minutes worth of play time [...]
Review of STREET LIFE (SELECTA REMIX) by CHASE & STATUS on ROYAL CHOONES RECORDS
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Redeemer Full Of Culture
Fucking monster track, and staying on roots tip. It’s no secret that I love this style of junglism, I’ve been bigging it up from the get go, and this is a perfect case in point. Going to start out with a bad song, proper vocals, pure street, throw in the wicked bass [...]
Review of I Am Your DJ by Truth
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009I’ll Take Your Brain To Another Dimension
Full on tune of the week coming at you. First class head-the -ball drum and bass. The b-line is all over the fucking place on this one, and there are some sweet background sounds to compliment the hardcore drum that underpins this monster. A serious helterskelter ride is in [...]
Review of I hear the symphony by Jonn Browne on 3 roots audio
Saturday, September 19th, 2009Don’t Sing It, Bring It
And bring it large. A top release this, rolling in like a thunder storm, pouring it on like rain. I love the way this thing get’s going, like a Rastaman loves Jah, almost like a DVD player rejecting a disc that synth stab riff thing, or is that a bass sound? [...]
Review of Soulless Human by Krone on Phonico Recordings
Tuesday, September 8th, 2009We Fade To Grey
Electrified beats, cool and remote with a bitter 80’s after taste. Like Snoop said, I’m fucked up now, but still poppin’, and never more so than right here. There’s a nice woof to the bass, controlled drums and sweeping synths combined to an icy blue finish. Not your standard dn’b tune, showing [...]
Review of 3 TIMES DOPE by DJ SAPPO on SAPPO DIGITAL
Sunday, September 6th, 2009Sit By The Radio, Hand On The Dial
Here’s a tune that can take a licking and keep on kicking. I’ve not been listening to dn’b much recently, or old skool hip hop either for that matter, but 3 Times is a remedy for that sorry state of affairs. Sumo phat and loaded for bear with [...]
