Review: The second in the BLE-EP series is another nostalgic trip back to the early days of rave. It's jam packed with six of the best breaks, bleeps and bass tunes, prickly analogue drum programming and future leads that immediately place you in a room full of smoke, lasers flashing by and strobes going mental. Bohm's 'Trouble' is a textbook take on this style, while Neil Landstrumm layers up bright melodies and refracts them around a punchy techno framework on 'Body Popper.' Meat Beat Manifesto's 'Destroy Dub' is a wild furry of drums and another gem on an EP full of them.
Review: Urban Tribe hooks up with Veteran producer Sherard Ingram, perhaps best known as the mysterious Drexciyan DJ Stingray. Here they drop an new long player on Rephlex, entitled "Acceptable Side Effects".
Review: Utopia Cloak's Tears & Heartbreak Beats is the coming together for the first time of two EPs the artist made around the same time. That said both channel very different vibes. The first, Tears, is a moody and introspective with that was penned while the artists was going through some hard times and personal tragedy. Heartbreak Beats has been put put previously as 'Raw breakbeat tracks 2019 -2020') and was catharsis for the artists. They were written quickly and have a focussed energy that really connects.
