nice price deal !!! second drop from grievous angel this week, making a huge impact with a shockout vip version of naphtas soundclash 1, backed with his supremely odd grime stepper harpy. in whats turning out to be quite an immense week for releases from the grime/step scene, grievous lords it up high with his mix of naphtas junglist soundclash, forging the sort of darkside bass lick that sends shivers down your spine, and welding it into a hard stepping garage framework indebted to the legacy of steve gurley and el-b. absolute bomb track! on the flipside gas wicked harpy sees the light of day, making nods to wileys early grime/post garage reductions with a splintered percussive palette and agitated synth stabs balanced by a powerful dubstep bassline.

nice price deal !!! this second release from glasgows fortified recordings is a departure in sound from their first acclaimed ep by dundees loops haunt, but all the same in attitude. iranian born, texas residing garagesmith vvv uses his late night musical tests to forge and perfect his sonic output, and deploys a range of techniques not normally found in the often formulaic world of garage and dubstep. this patchwork quilt of laced beats, field recordings and intensive sample editing has made manifest a four track ep that simultaneously references the work steve gurley, todd edwards, carl craig, my bloody valentine, the cocteau twins and roy davis junior via the bastardised strains of 2-step and house practiced by the likes of ramadanman, untold and joy orbison, peppered with that magic elusive el_b swing that only the greats are able to achieve. at the same time familiar yet different (how many times have you heard that?), the four tracks on projects kick with the intensity of the best club music and invokes the cosmic spirit of classic motor city techno with an uplifting and deep soulful vibe that reveals layers of orchestrated natural sound upon repeated listens. in other words, its sexy as fuck. slated for an official release early march , one can only assume this limited 12inch will fly off the shelf much like fortified s inaugural release did
