This has been an interesting year for London based producer, Four Tet. He’s had an obsession with remixing Madlib tracks and collaborated on an acclaimed release with influential dubstep producer, Burial. Now at the culmination of this year, a new track, “Love Cry”, has been released. It’s a preview of the new Four Tet album [...]

Hark thee! Who goes there?! Why it be Round Table Knights! There is no denying the capability and skill of Questionmark and Biru Bee, sworn together as Round Table Knights. It’s not just a play upon words mates and maidens, this Swiss duo is equipped with an impenetrable armor of technical finesse and steely remix [...]

This is a massive 12″ follow-up to One of Us, Kryptic Minds’ latest LP. The title track, “Life Continuum” is an atmospheric dark-step track with big bass and a heavy beat, something of which I missed on the LP. The flip side, “Wondering Why” is an extremely warm tune with plenty of depth, ricocheting beats [...]

Kryptic Minds, a production duo hailing from London, have contributed to the deep drum & bass scene since 2005, but It’s no surprise that they’ve slowed things down for their latest LP. One of Us is a welcome departure from the heavy hitting antics of songs like “More Like You” and “Blue Print,” in which [...]

Whatever floats your boat, this may not be it. Really, a large part of me is surprised that this particular boat belongs in part to Portishead’s Geoff Barrow at all. If there’s one phrase I definitely don’t recall popping into my head while listening to Dummy it was “krautrock noodling.” But there’s been a lot [...]

Try and Imagine pure evil as a living force that feeds on life, death, murder and pain. This evil infiltrates a city, tainting the air, water and streets. As its power grows, so does fear, corruption, agony and hysteria. For all those unfortunate enough to live here, death is imminent. Let the Night Roar is [...]

Scars, the fourth full length album by vintage UK house music duo Felix Burton and Simon Ratcliffe, leads the listener down a familiar and sporadic trail of buoyant breadcrumbs towards destination unknown. Scars‘ journey starts remarkedly fresh, with an ethereal and operatic promise of modern twists upon their trademark upbeat sound. Sadly, it quickly veers [...]

Phace, Misanthrop and Noisia released their latest Neosignal 12″ on September 9th. In my opinion, this release crowns these guys as the new trailblazers of deep drum & bass. Phace & Noisia collaborated on the A side track, “CCTV,” which takes drum & bass to a new level. Loads of atmosphere, distorted bass, percussive sound [...]

Finally The Big Pink have released their debut album, A Brief History of Love, through 4AD records. Recipients of the much revered NME Philip Hall Radar Award, The Big Pink have spent much of 2009 seeing their names being pedaled throughout the UK music press and now attempt to serve the hype with this debut [...]

Make no mistakes, in the world of dubstep, this track will be remembered alongside “Anti War Dub,” “Purple City” and “Midnight Request Line” as another track that helped move the underground genre ever closer to the mass audience that it inevitably will succumb to.
Though, it must be said, this is not selling out or watering [...]
