opener getting run down loops up a nagging hip hop sample over skittering dukey beats and washes drifting pads and spacey keys over the top for a hypnotic late night groover. reach out goes at a calmer pace, but revolves around intense builds, insistent polyrhythms and detroity riffs for a bit of hypnagogic drama. on memix duties, om unit does what you hope hes going to do, injecting reach out with seemingly infinite swathes of space and bottom end, looping about at his own pace, but with that constant sense of om unit purpose. nphonix closes out proceedings with a tweaky, rubbery acid style workout that will find friends in bass and house camps.

nice price deal !!! a powerful 3 tracker from moscow based fedor stepanenko aka nphonix, pressed on purple/lilac marbled vinyl and housed in debossed audio culture sleeve.

after their enormous release on bad taste recordings, new drums/double thinking, the teddy killerz return with nphonix for another dose of some of the hardest, underground drum and bass around. with releases on the likes of fokuz limited, icarus audio, citrus recordings, caliber music and bad taste recordings between them, the deadly pairing bring two tracks of cutting edge dnb for bt027.

nphonix is celebrated as a paragon of stylistic diversity, constant progression and engineering craftsmanship amongst producers and listeners alike, with a sound and discography spanning everything from drum n bass to hard techno. his latest release on the prestigious lost soul imprint is no exception to this standard. the a-side,>third eye<, descends like the bellow of some unfathomable machine coming to life, as frenetic techno stabs ride a ferocious shockwave of bass driven by bristling percussion. the flip, >false flag> beckons with signature lushness and beautiful harmonies before propelling the listener back into a maelstrom of speaker destroying furor, with a stunning second drop sure to blow minds and rattle ribcages. both pieces are tied together with the gritty yet crystalline production quality fans have come to expect from this stalwart innovator. this record is a testament to an artists uncompromising vision and a labels reputation for impeccable taste.

for the label’s 40th anniversary, r & s records presents a brand new installment of their iconic in order to dance compilation series.
