the second outing from btg follows, in tradition, their 2 originals and 2 remixes format. this time round toyc creates a slower paced dance floor obliterator titled ‘kicks’ sounding like a wonky laser gun trapped inside a broken 808 landing somewhere between broken techno and bass. on the remix project mooncircle and 20/20 ldn affiliated deft deconstructs and reconstructs toyc’s track into a maximalist beast fusing the current sounds of 160 bpm 170 bpm and half­time dnb with the technical precision of amon tobin. up next the booty­shaking stormer they call itoa, known for releases on bad taste and being featured in storming 160­/170bpm sets by djs and tastemakers such as om unit and sam binga. ‘snake pass’ is a classic itoa track, playful bouncing subs and flickering percussion and shards of vocal, landing somewhere between footwork and booty bass. btg co­founder etch sets the pace with his remix of snake pass, coming through with a schizophrenic beats influenced sub heavy stepper that slowly evolves into a breakbeat onslaught.

misty conditions is a project that started off when henry collins and richard wilson met up in henrys studio a couple of years ago and jammed for a few days non-stop, enjoying the process thoroughly. the connection became so good in this period that the duo developed a fluent understanding of how each other worked, ending up as a project made across the internet, while henry was living in france and richard in la. they cross pollinated by developing what each did best, henry making and creating banks of samples and richard creating software and effects to cut up and re-sample, passing the tracks back and forth, essentially until they felt finished.

welcome to the first love sick recordings release brought to you by the likes of riskotheque, marchmellow and screen age & mudie (aka southbound hangers). a side >all alone< provides an exhilarating journey through heartbreak, loss and isolation. in the intro, delayed piano chords hint at distant happy memories but soon make way for stark 808s and womb-like sub frequencies that bring the listener back to bitter reality. insistent vocal snippets serve only to galvanize the tracks emotional content. truly a song to cry to as much as dance. in contrast to this is aa >you dont understand<. positivity and hope pervade this little beauty, its glistening synth hooks and intricate drum programming conjuring thoughts of joy and new found affection. perhaps the perfect sound-track to a summer romance.

the aliens dropped their first tune >exterminate< and >their here< to critical acclaim setting the dub step forums and dance floors alight. the guys now come with their second release and drop two brutal dub step bass heavy steppers on us. there is a lot of chatter about who the aliens are with names of a number of top dubstep artists in the frame. however it doesnt really matter who is behind this release as the music clearly speaks for itself. these new tunes have been causing chaos on the dance floor with their destructive basslines and nasty switches and being supported by the cream of the dub step scene including kromestar, skream, n type, hatcha, walsh, f1 and the aliens.

grime has been clawing its way back to the centre of underground uk music in a big way recently, riding a new wave of credibility in futurist iterations from terror danjah, hyperdub, and butterz. but with the rising profile of figures like slackk and the eski-aping sound of becoming real and sometimes jam city, theres been a pseudo-lionization and a growing mythology surrounding classic grime. honestly, its been a long time coming, the music is legendary for a reason. terror danjahs new(ish) hardrive label takes a bold step in 2011 with a sharp look back-ward, and in typically cyclical fashion it feels perfectly now. dating all the way back to 2004, p jams >anger management< is a minimal monster of a tune, slamming with the same slurred and blurred percussive elements of wileys essential >ice rink<.
