giggle riddim stands out in the bassline scene as one of the biggest tunes of the year. piddy py is a master of the signature northern style with his ghoulish bell tower leads and extra terrestrial bass. combined with giggles wind up kicks that bully dancefloors into submission and the terrifying baby cackles that give the riddim its name, piddys arsenal is unstoppable. utter havoc ensues with every drop. the title tyrack has already played by the likes of toddla t, sinden, herve, hudson mohawke, rustie, drop the lime, plus bassline heavyweights dj q, rossi b & luca and too many more to mention...
a seriously heavyweight plate from twisted, a member of germanys acclaimed dutty dubz crew. erratic is a grimey monster of a tune, the subtleties of the intro with its pattering bongos and stealthy pads giving no indication of the carnage to come. dropping harder than a ton of bricks, the filthy buzzsaw bass comes swooping in beneath slamming halfstep beats, squirming between the enormous bashy snares and sinister electro riff topline. on the flipside twisted goes a little more leftfield, tapping into the chiptune flavour thats currently permeating the dubstep scene via the likes of rustie and zomby.
