Lightless friends, I need your comments! 🗣📝

Please check the audio file: it has short snippets of several DNB tunes by an artist you haven't heard much about but who, imho, needs to be heard.
Basically he makes some wicked, different DNB which I'd like to release. He's not much of an online type (he's a studio hermit!), and I feel he could use some words of encouragement about his stuff, so IF YOU LIKE this type of sound, do leave a comment here or on Soundcloud, and I'll let the artist know!

I want to get his EP out. 

Let's encourage him a bit…we all need some kind words every now and then.
(the artist didn't ask me to do this, and no, it's not my alias works)

It’s been a minute, but Sneaker Social Club is gassed to facilitate the return of the mighty House Of Black Lanterns, locking in for the dankest 2-step flex in a sincere ode to pirate radio culture. Dylan Richards has always displayed an affinity for low-end pressure threaded through his versatile HOBL output on Houndstooth and his prior work as King Cannibal, but he’s never dialled in to UKG with this much focus before.
 
The A side comes on strong with ‘Back To Back Special’, a dark garage creeper with negative space so vast it becomes all consuming — all the better for the ample MC toasting and spring reverb FX splashes to ping out around the skeletal, hard-knocking swing and snarling bass. ‘Out To The Private Number’ maintains the theme, flipping soulful UKG tropes into an ice-cold update for these malevolent times. 
 
On the flip, Richards pushes the formula further out with ‘Slew’, which deploys hardcore-minded bass hooks in a devilishly dissected rhythmic framework and amps up the yard intensity on the MC source material to create a deadly intersection of garage, rave and dancehall. ‘Summon Like’ dials up the eeriness and lets the growl of the bass take centre stage in a potent, unnervingly minimalist dance wrecker that simply confirms the crystal clear vision Richards is pursuing on this record. 
 
It’s a devout love letter to the edgiest of garage’s golden era without being limited to a simple genre study. Instead, a broad church of soundsystem exaltation gets expressed through the Richards’ elevated production vocabulary, capturing the shockout, mind-blowing spirit of the most trailblazing plates when they first got dropped on an unsuspecting crowd.

TRACKLIST –– https://www.dummymag.com/mix/dummy-mix-577-walton/

Manchester producer Walton has always had an eye for the darker spectrum of dance sounds. Starting out on Hyperdub before becoming a regular on Tectonic, Walton has been making shadowy records that bang for almost a decade. His most recent offering is ‘Depth Charge’, marking his first release on Munich’s revered Ilian Tape label and his strongest 12″ to date. Ahead of a 24-hour Ilian Tape takeover this weekend at FOLD, where he’ll be spinning alongside label heads Zenker Brothers plus Skee Mask, Stenny and more, Walton is the next in line in our mix series. Dark, heavy and rolling, it’s Walton through and through, pushing acid, breakbeat, pointillist techno and more in the mix.

Dummy Mix 577 | Walton

For the last two decades, the veteran junglist known as SuM or SUMONE has been mutilating dancefloors across the world with his vast array of sounds. Starting early on with a more dubwise, ragga, oldschool jungle, mashup approach, he quickly began to incorporate other styles into his productions, building a slew of timeless releases and gaining immense notoriety from the atmospheric, darkstep, drumfunk, experimental, and minimal/halftime drum&bass communities. Releases on some of the finest labels such as; PLANET MU, RENEGADE RECORDINGS, ALPHACUT, SYNCOPATHIC, DUBPLATELET, MOS-HI, JUNGLE EXPEDITIONS, SPRENGSTOFF and MASH to name a few.
When appearing live, SUMONE brings a whole other surprise to the table using Ableton Live in conjunction with midi hardware to give you the wildest beat driven ride you will experience. Known for pulverizing audiences with his live pa, be prepared for many different flavors and styles as you hear original jungle classics remixed and mashed on the spot, remixes of tunes by himself and others, and new material that is yet to be released.
