Mattik – Kick Mad Flavour
Whilst many artists were veering towards the comfy centre-ground of EDM-influenced big room bass, Mattik consistently impressed with his dirty dynamism.
Nikki Nair – step 2
An acid-electro-IDM-bass music hybrid…
Breaka – We Move EP
A truly modern dance music EP that embraces its eclectic influences, future, and past.
Otik – Soulo EP
A tasteful blend of moods and energy that, on the whole, defies categorization for all the right reasons.
Yoofee – Freak
Deliciously dingy and downright danceable.
Iti – Curvework Vol. 1: As Time Passes
A cosmic, progressive two-tracker with an arsenal of punchy percussion fit for a warehouse rave, “As Time Passes” is a hypnotic effort from down under.
Reso – Front Mission EP
Reso blends a number of bass music influences, welding them together with consistent industrial themes.
Chatta B & Liondub – Ganjabread Man (Remix)
A welcome rehashing of the original, choosing to recolor the song in a more ethereal hue. Expect pillowy, introspective listening and an effort as catchy as it is dreamy.
Shinbu – Nightmarchers EP
A riveting, pitch-black listen with a superbly chosen arrangement of percussive work. Demolishing kicks and nightmarish ambience feature in equal measure and the whole record is better for its frequent dips into eastern, warlike themes–one to be uncomfortably enjoyed at the back of a dingy basement rave or an industrial warehouse.
