Review
Align your chakras for Akas. A new name to many but actually a total legend who's been involved in D&B for years and was responsible for signing early releases from a whole class of modern day headliners with his label Talkin Beatz. Back to the future, he's flexing some serious muscles with this debut on DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict. Two tracks, two reasons to tear-up the dance; 'Mini Roller' is a rasping, wasp-like work-out with a bassline that stings and buzzes in all the right places. 'Eurostar', meanwhile, goes into hyperdrive with a bassline that's so naughty it digs its own tunnel to France. No passports necessary!

After guesting on Damageman’s Juno Download chart smash Revenge on Murky Digital last year, Ipswich producer Conrad Subs now makes his full-fledged label debut with the varied four-tracker Dark Sets In.

Known by various monikers for his contributions to the D&B and jungle scenes over the past two decades, the Suffolk native and MAAD TING! head honcho has hit the jackpot since adopting his latest alias, Conrad Subs, in 2017. Making strides with an unfaltering work rate and a flurry of high-profile signings to labels like Soulvent, Liondub and RAM Records imprint Program, he impressed with his critically acclaimed debut LP Tides last summer and has continued to ramp up his output ever since.

This new project finds Conrad further deepening his signature sound, finding the sweet spot between immersive atmospherics and unadulterated grit. Its title track, “Dark Sets In”, is the first up, setting nostalgic, soulful vocals against an intoxicating backdrop of swooping leads, grainy basslines and decorative cowbells to make for one of his most distinctive productions yet. Staying true to this essence, the ensuing number “Expansion” is an equally punchy cut with ambient sensibilities, with its stop-start breakbeats and snarling sucker-punch synth work interwoven with echoing patois vocals, dub sirens and sparkling arpeggios.

Dabbling in an unconventionally pared-back style on “Sketchy”, he distils the D&B recipe down to its base elements, holding back even the sub-bass he gets his name from and opting for a barebones combination of frantic, pounding percussion and coarse, suspensefully infrequent helpings of bass. Last on the menu is “ILLA”, a uniquely wonky and similarly minimal concoction centred around bold, warbling leads, serving as a timely aural reminder of the veteran craftsman’s sound design prowess.

The Dark Sets In EP lands exclusively via Juno Download and Spotify on 17th March 2021, arriving elsewhere a week later on 24th March.
