Origin – Nasty Tune
Some tracks really live up to their names. This is one of those tracks.
DJ Sofa & Tim Reaper – Helsinki To London Connection (Cheetah & Janaway Remix)
An absolute belter of a remix that does an excellent job of honoring the original version.
Aerbreak & Krash Dubs – Me N You (The Moment)
London-based label Militant Music’s man of the moment, Aerbreak, strikes again in collaboration with the head honcho himself, Krash Dubs.
Phatworld – Kelvin Phlats EP
The effortless way that Phatworld play with atypical sounds and incorporate them into bass-heavy dance music is truly a marvel.
Secret Agent Gel – Stay Up Late
I feel sexier for just having listened to it and, if that isn’t a glowing enough recommendation for you, music like this probably wouldn’t be your thing anyway.
Gantz – Ruff 4
Known for his unapologetically leftfield excursions, Istanbul’s Gantz is an enigmatic presence in electronic music.
Silva Bumpa – Hard 13
Full of fun, loaded with to-the-point party starters from a promising talent in the 4×4/garage space.
207 – Koto EP
Rustling chimes and twisted vocal/horn interplay become a sticking point throughout, alongside the tried-and-true combination of a busy rhythm section anchored by a monolithic bass.
DJ Q & Todd Edwards – Sweet Day
Overall the composition feels like the two have managed to mediate a tight partnership… an authentic love letter to garage.
