BOXCLO10 TMSV- Myth/Flow

Myth has been doing the rounds for the last year and has been one of his most in demand dubs and is sure to appease his sound cloud following.  Myth has been one of the flagship tunes for DJ Youngsta on his Rinse FM show.  The eerie Moroccan flute flows across a backdrop of sparse percussion and low frequency bass (inaudible on my laptop speakers); 5 minutes of music that will take you a million miles from your troubles and provide you with audio bliss.  On the other side there is the equally impressive track Flow.  A more scattered beat structure yet retaining the hypnotic rolling quality of Myth; paranoid releases of piano chimes, chattering bongos combined with powerful sub bass create a prime dance-floor banger.

TMSV is one of the fresh talents of new bass music; hailing from the Netherlands and relatively new to game he began working as a DnB producer, he names Burial as being an important influence in his music and you can hear this along with his DnB background express itself through his tunes.  Check out this interview from last year on knowledge magazine's website, pretty nice mix included to http://www.kmag.co.uk/editorial/blogs/dubstep/introducing-tmsv.html.

MS005 Cry Murda - JingBong Ting Ft. Ziggy Moonshine Recordings

This one comes from a duo known as JingBong: Jacky Murda and Max Powa hailing from Barcelona.  On this release we have the original with a remix on flip side from Hot; a badman ragga jungle remix that exhibits the influences of the original track combining dark bass lines with killer guitar plucked breaks.  In the original track JingBong make a lot of space allowing the vocals to create the flow, whilst breaking down with an equally spacey bass that bounces across your ears.  Gonna have to buy the vinyl if you wanna hear the whole thing, definitely leaves you wanting more.

LFR003 Sigma- All Night and Day/The Jungle (Sub Zero Remix)

Bit of random record from Sigma; All Night and Day stays true with the chilled vibe that we have seen in recent years from the duo whilst expressing an upbeat element making sure you'll get your feet moving on the dance floor.  All Night and Day follows the trend of recent releases that we have heard from Life; the tune rolls through an array of piano chords, wooden percussion and uplifting synths.  The euphoric sound of Ikay's vocals and the type of building block production dressed in sparkling synths creates something which is soft sounding but still retains the energy of a bass driven banger.  The Jungle (Sub Zero Remix) is completely different; jump up madness.  The bass takes the role of melody in this tune and is coupled with equally robust synths; the tune has so much energy its bursting at the seams.  Not one for me.  It begs the question why on earth have these tunes been put on the same record?  The two could not be further apart.  If you like one your definitely not going to like the other.  For me All Night and Day is a sick tune but it goes against logic to buy a tune if ur only going to play one side.

Forthcoming Hab32- A. Indivision & Livewire (feat. Tasha Baxter) - Won't You Stay AA. Subclash - Sunburst

This is a two track release on the artist MOW's Nuremberg based label have-a-break recordings (Hab).  This label has really made its mark on producing beautiful melodic liquid drum and bass music and after the success of its 2009/2010 liquid soldiers series and releases with Command Strange, L.A.O.S and Cammo & Krooked it is firmly on the liquid dnb radar.  Both of these tracks come from lesser known producers but express an accomplishment in their form that should be renown.  Indivision & Livewire's track "Won't You Stay" features amazing vocals from South African born Tasha Baxter (Check out her other work http://soundcloud.com/tashabaxtersa, listen to her amazing vocals in Feed Me ft Tasha Baxter- Strange Behaviour).  "Won't You Stay" reflects the coming of autumn and the fading summer; the scalpal sharp percussion and fairy dust synth fx create the perfect end to the season.   Subclash - Sunburst is another brilliant tune; it is less forthright in its creation and there is definitely a greater sense of repetition, this coupled with building bass create its liquid roller feel.  The tone is somber and again it feels as though it has been created for an autumn release.  The vinyl is set for release in October 2011.

Little Jinder- Without You - Various Remixes

Little Jinder hails from Sweden the track "Without You" is something very special, with perfect production from Drop The Lime the track tells the tale of a world that exists after sunset.  The menacing uber bass line in this track contrasts the soft tones of Josephine Jinder's voice creates a chilling sense of other worldliness.  The original dubstep paced track is undoubtebly the best, with such spot on production it is difficult to find fault with; also there is a dnb track from Seba and an electro house version from Myd.

EIO16- EVOL INTENT CRUISE CONTROL EP

I don't know when the entire EP is out but the Promo for Cruise Control/Ghost is available in all good record shops on the 29th of August or digitally now http://beatport.com/s/r1DQTf . Evol Intent never fail to bring the dark n dirty side of drum n bass music. Unless your home is somewhere under a rock then you'll probably have heard of the powerhouse that is Evol Intent. For all you rock dwellers Evol Intent are a three piece drum n bass collective from Atlanta; Knick, Gigantor and the Enemy. In the past five years they have been at the forefront of the reinvention of drum n bass, Cruise Control and Ghost don't fail to please along with the roster of tunes from their aptly named Evol Intent Recordings. With this promo the trio bring us two ear splitting drumstep tunes. Ghost kills it. You never see the switch up coming and the level of production on this tune is intense; for ever changing and evolving over the entire 5 minutes creating something aggy with depth. Cruise Control is less impressive but makes use of a classic quote from Tropic Thunder.  It's full of warp infused bass lines and mechanical pistons; the relentlessness of this tune is sure to make it a dancefloor banger (though its not to everyone's taste).

MODULE 008- D*Minds a.Subcrate aa.Stone River

From the new arm of Critical Music (Modulations) comes some more musical badness from Bristol's D*Minds.


Subcrate intros gently creating a dark atmosphere in preparing us for what is about to be unleashed.  D*Minds lay it down with a deep throbbing bass; you are gonna need some good speakers to appreciate this (laptop crap just isn't going to cut it).  The tune creates endless energy through its pulsating bass line and snatching kicks.


D*Minds - Sub Crate - Critical Music by Dminds


D*Minds Stone river is a tense roller.  There is a sense of rigidity created through its structure but it flows fluidly through its syncopated breaks.  Amidst a soundscape of slashing swords and quivering arrows D*Minds create a fresh interesting tune and definitely paints an audible picture.
