Iggy Dope’s EtherwerkZ label continues its higher assembly of bass futurists with the third Ascension compilation. Volume 3 scours the globe to find Mulholland, Mercy System, Flaty, Oyubi ,Warzou, NirBorna, Young Muscle and noRecall in finest form, cross-examining variations on the theme of broken club rhythms and meticulous sound design.

Mulholland opens with the whirling psychedelic chug of Skab_t, gurgling wry with the faintest dembow touch. Manchester’s Mercy System goes deeper with Pressure Changes, cloaking a neatly sound designed redux of hardcore inclinations with a gentle bruk’d rhythm and light dub touch. Moscow’s Flaty goes proper wayward with Moth, a chromatic half stepper that wobbles weird into the furthest lucid interzones. Tokyo’s Oyubi swings a disassociated 2-step lurch on ALEXDUB, locked-in to its hypnotic core. Lyon’s Warzou bounces looser with Phantom Currency, a tight LFO’d jaunt of ghoulish dynamics. Tokyo calls again with NirBorna, Antenna Helix’s sleek broken beat building taut around skittering drums and atonal melodies. Detroit’s Young Muscle goes large with the industrial-sized breaks of Hard Rain Falling, an ever-evolving kinetic bass romp through the tough and pump. Seattle’s noRecall snarls quicker with 972024, a mutant half time future-shock of alien textures that typifies the feeling present throughout

Ascension Vol. 3’s duration; one of an upward trajectory in motion through experimental sound but certified sub-club feeling.

V/A - Ascension Vol. 3 [8ther-003] Previews

The third release on Dubrunner's Menace label finds the soundsystem stalwart continuing to refine his distinctively modern club twist on dub sensibilities. Drawing elements of techno, trance, amapiano and dubstep into his lean and mean digi-dub workouts, Blackheart arrives as a laser-focused selection pitched at forward-facing DJs working the dance at peak time.

For all the weight powering the likes of 'Protocol', Dubrunner's distinctive style is rooted in minimalism. The tangible breathing room in the mix leaves plenty of space for every subtle synth flourish and spring reverb splash to shine while maintaining a seductive tension throughout, all the better to hold the dancefloor energy on a tight leash.

There's an even stronger sense of pressure bubbling under the surface on 'Blackheart' thanks to the looming low-end which purrs away underneath the crooked-but-driving drums, leaving the lead lines to add an emotive flourish as a foil to the introspective dub chords which shimmer through the track's latter stages.

'Bad Mind' is a precision-sculpted throw down shaped out by delicate percussive intrigue and snaking groove, leaning further into a dub techno palette to set the mood and offset by flickers of auto tuned vocals that nod to amapiano.

To round the EP off without easing up on sheer soundsystem impact, 'Night Shift' carries some of Dubrunner's most assured production work to date. The ramp up for the drop is undeniable, letting the bass snarl and the drums roll without losing that sharply-rendered restraint we've come to expect from one of the most inventive producers in the broad expanse of contemporary bass music. 

Dubrunner - Protocol

Athens wonder-kid Poor J’Darr unleashes ‘Power Strike’ —a high-pressure, percussion-heavy transmission that carries the torch of the label’s legacy into a new era of rhythmic warfare. 

Passed down from the baton of Walton and Silas & Snare, the signature style of percussion and pressure is alive & well in Andreas Nikoloulias’ KAIZEN debut.
