YEEEEEPPP. Love it. Album cover is great, too.

By now a fabric of the Samurai Music sound, Tensor sees Sardinia's Last Life back for his fourth release for the label. The dive-bomb bounce of Offside opens the EP - hurling out laser-sharp mentasms over a searing groove. Elements adds pace with a driving amen tunnel, pinned down by a swaying half-step kick formation and a vocal insignia. Title track Tensor combines many of Last Life's signature talents perfectly - honed amen edits, a lush percussion loop, and kick drums sitting perfectly - a lesson in propulsion. EP closer Incubus has been receiving the most plays by DJs - a flexing groove, dripping in menace and raw power.

DROOGS013 - Holsten

A. Hidden Figures
AA. Strident

Not content with already laying waste with multiple exhibitions of villainy previously on Droogs and UVB-76, Holsten returns from the depths to inflict more destruction with his latest salvos for Droogs.
“Hidden Figures” blacks out right from the top with insidious pads, phantom force knocks, filthy Reece and a reverberating clock bell that signals the witching hour is upon us.

“Strident” shoots poison darts through the tree line with cascading breakbeats, soundman call outs, more nefarious Reece sweeps and chest out Junglist bravado.

DROOGS014

A. Tarot / AA. Detour

Release Date: June 30th 2023

DROOGS is back with more unfettered darkness from chief crew member Overlook. First up, we have ‘Tarot’; harnessing echoes of the St Albans’ amigos and laser pointing their unsettling dread into a burning sink hole of riddim.

Flip over for a metallic stepping lash out, ‘Detour’, with holes punched through the omnipresent fog by staccato bursts of jazz stabs penetrating the Jungle canopy from above.

Lights out.

DROOGS014 Overlook - Tarot

Pre-order: https://banshee.bandcamp.com/album/shee-punk-01

Banshee is the new record label from @btraits, aka Baby T, drawing “esoteric aggressive feminine energy” from the folkloric figure that gives Banshee its name.

Huge percussive blasts blow out the low end on 'Ultrafunkiller', filled with ominous electronic rumbles and insectoid synths that chirrup higher up the mix.

Presha - Sacrifice [SMDEE34]

“SAMURAI’S boss only released his debut EP ‘RATS’ in 2021 (after a quarter-century in the game), but his brutalist productions are already essential. Landing somewhere between Dylan and death metal, iron-clad breaks clash against the digital roar of techstep bass across opener ‘Raven’, title track ‘Sacrifice’, and the searing ‘Temple’. The dubby halftime ritualism that’s become Samurai’s calling card is never far away though, and the sinuous ‘Anaconda’ made with label regular Sam KDC is a prime example, providing a less hectic yet equally intense ride.” DJ Mag

Four tracks of esoteric and spatial electronica are served up on Quartz’s debut release for R&S Records.  

Via releases for Metalheadz, Hotline Recordings and Dispatch Recordings, amongst others, the ascending producer from Cardiff has impressed with his unique take on the drum & bass sound, and more recently via grime influenced dubstep.

A thrilling hybrid of sounds and rhythms are pulled together on the ‘Deity Spear’ release as Quartz deploys angular breakbeats, gargantuan bass tones, convoluted rhythms, and panoramic sound design across four mesmerising tracks.

A spellbinding and dense release from one of the UK’s most audacious producers.
