Beatcamp Vinilo y CD

Review: After joining forces with Beatcamp to release a digital-only cut last year, Trends returns to the imprint with an EP of weighty, floor-focused grime mutations that should appeal to a wide variety of bass-loving DJs. Title track 'Industrial Injection' is particularly potent, with the Oxford-based producer opting for stabbing sub-bass, hissing cymbal sounds and an up-tempo grime rhythm so tough it's probably made out of granite. The cowbell-sporting 'Jitterbug' is a drum machine hand-clap heavy number that sits somewhere between post-dubstep UK bass and mutant UK techno, while flipside 'City Lights' is a moody, head-nodding grime cut featuring dark strings and crunchy percussion.
