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 Bloodclart by Caustik Tyrant on Red Volume
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Where Do We Go From Here
Deep, dark and f*cking stonking, Bloodclart steps with a heavy tread through empty rooms as blunt as lead. An insistent saw edged synth beavers away over the deep bass, while dubbed out snares vibrate soft in brainwave time, the understated cuss off a perfect counterpoint to the slow pounding of [...]
Review of Mon Machine (Original Mix) by Bone Loc on Savory Audio
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Let Me Roll It To You
All drive, axiomatic for the people and enuff old Skool dubwise elements to push your buttons. Wobble head on with melody and shattering synth stabs make for a smooth ride. Like a close shave Mon Machine leaves you feeling sharp edged and clean, bordering on channeled energy for it’s own [...]
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 You Told Me (Original) by CJ Masou on puuh records
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Riding High On A Windy Day
Bang off vocal dubstep, jacked up, whacked out and pumping. Gotta love the staccato, stop start edge to this beat, over ridden somewhere between an alto sax and a synth pad. Voxed out infusions and grinding syn bass claw the whole thing back from the edge of another dance tune. [...]
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 [...]
Review of Don’t Walk Away by Soft Wasp on Ultimate Ruler
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 [...]
Review of These Words (Roska’s Speechless mix) by Martyn Ft. dBridge on 3024
Monday, February 8th, 2010Fade Away And Radiate
Pure electro jacked up over a madcap clap beat, with a vocal that’s gonna take you straight down. Clean, sharp, punchy and highly infectious, These Words is that stand out tune that will stay with you. Stripped down to the very essence of what comprises a banging beat, pierced through with topline [...]
