DJ Firmeza – Ardeu
The vocals leap and slice around the room, chased by truly banging drums. Each section lulls you forward, while police sirens chase you throw the crowd dancing in the street.
Bass Clef – Zamyatin Renumbered
Exploring garage, kuduro, UK funky, Squarepusher jungle, itchy IDM, and shimmering, disorienting ambient… It’s an extremely thick 43 minutes of music but a rewarding listen, end to end.
Naughty – Dom 877 + Killa P
The warning sirens and deep toms keep pace perfectly with the rugged vocals of Killa P. So good.
JOJV – Concrete / Signal
Sparse yet complex, it hits hard and takes no prisoners.
Various Artists EP (3024-FYE4)
Each track might paint the same open field, just at different times of the day. And each painting is beautiful and deserves study.
Kingdom – EXTERRA (Vol. 1)
The speakers nearly melt from the next-level production.
Club Djembe Vol.1
The track selection and arrangement of this EP are great, amplified by the expectation that any sort of collection like this is usually a bunch of disconnected songs.
Smoove Kriminal – Benimussa Bass EP
Both light and dark, it feels like you’re traveling through a tunnel, headlights and fluorescents streaming by. It’s up to you if you’re looking forward or back.
DJ Whitecoat & Jae Elle – Riddim (DJ Polo Remix)
Little effects and ambiance, forward and backward, create and release tension like a yo-yo.
