Electrifying London-based label, Rhythm Labs, are back after their much anticipated second trip to the pressing plant. Carrying on from the success of their Polish House and UK Breakbeat fusion on RL001; the label now takes a deep dive into their home roots, as their sophomore release RL002 explores the sonics of both home-grown and international UK Garage.


Embodying the concept of Day & Night, the 6 track project journeys from AM to PM - wading through experimental two-step, right the way through to rough & ready 140BPM inspired rhythms from some of the most talented producers in the scene. Heywood Yorke’s Untitled kicks the record into gear with an ethereal, glistening, summer heater. Harry Felce then rips off the stabilizers on Wait A Minute - a bouncing, unrelenting chugger, guaranteed to make way for a screw-face or three. The A-side is rounded off by the prodigal man-on-the-ground, Toof, with one finger on Sweden’s dance scene pulse, and the others busy making the intricate UK dubstep-inspired Lost in Ritz.


Brighton-based producer Movement fills the role of Rhythm Labs family friend, with Angel 5 AM - a tenacious, brooding track that evolves into an effortless Grime-inspired Garage combination. Daffy - one of Bristol’s finest - further doubles down on the night-time mood of Side B, with Jamaican-UKG infusion Gunshot, driving the project into the intergalactic finale. Rudebwoy Marsl (AKA Dogpatrol) draws the project to a close, with a gritty, off-kilter representation of the genre. Experimental transitions and haunting vocal samples solidify the German native as a true innovator while handing listeners a preface to the ever-exciting future of UK Garage which Rhythm Labs will be continuing to champion in future releases.

As Motorist,  LA native Joe Rihn makes music which points in the direction of the soulful, jazz inflections of artists like Wax Doctor and Peshay.Time Is Now White Vol.20 pays testament to his dexterity in creating fully-immersive atmospheres, as well as his penchant for rhythmic experimentation.

The EP’s smooth-as-silk opener ‘Drip’ typifies this, luring you in with the psychedelic-funk tones of wah-pedalled guitar plucks, and the instrumental quality of percussion which cruises along at half-time before Amen breaks pick up the pace. ‘Balamb Garden’ captures D’n’B’s meditative potential, driven by a dynamic syncopation which swings beneath airy pads and piano tinkles before the harder-hitting raw club track ‘Caldoria’ brings the A-side to a storming close. 

‘Blast Route’ picks things right back up again, together with ‘Prism’, which nod more to the hardcore proclivities of the likes of DJ Die with distorted drum breaks and warped basslines. ‘Rover’ strips things back once more, boasting Motorist’s capacity for teasing out the slower, more mellow side of 160.

Time Is Now White Vol.2o drops 3rd June 2022 via Time Is Now.

Shall Not Fade: Coldpast (DJ Mix)

Doin' Bits (Frits Wentink Remix - Mixed)

Reach for the geiger counter - Park End comes shelling in the direction of Sneaker Social Club with some plutonium-plated, 2-stepping swelterweight gear for the grubbiest of dancehalls. All we can ascertain about the shadowy figure on the buttons for this latest release is that they’re clearly schooled in the lineage of UK hardcore, pirate radio culture and the sympathetic tenets of UKG, jungle and dubstep.

Opening up the A side, ’Same Dream’ is a claustrophobic, gnarly creeper with razor-sharp snares, growling low end and enough heads-down malaise to turn the most blissful sunrise set ice-cold. ‘The Immortality Of The Crab’ pays tribute to the fine tradition of illegal radio broadcasting and its importance for the development of rave, leaning on a staggered, mucky garage beat that smacks hard just how we like it.

On the flip, Park End turns attention to the synergy between RnB and garage with a refix of BBL Sound’s ‘BBS’, pairing the sweetest vocal chops with plenty of bitter b-line pressure, while ‘Rekt’ draws on an unnamed voice for another fission between human sensitivity and mechanised intensity. This parting shot borders on anti-anthemic by the time it reaches its peak while holding true to the pitch-black vibe creeping out around the edges of this rough diamond of an EP.
