Sam KDC – Ascetic – Sam KDC kicks off proceedings with a thumping, darkly roots-inspired track, a true understated dancefloor hitter sure to punish the senses. Heavy-hitting kicks & sub bass drive the message home. Punishing.
ASC – Symmetry – Slowing down the pace a little from the opening barrage, ASC delivers a smooth, deliciously intense track with crunchy analogue samples jostling with xylo melodies and wondrous atmospheric synths & vocals in ASC’s trademark, inimitably polished style.
Synth Sense – Trapped Within The Circuit – Vinyl crackles introduce this densely-configured exploration of raw scrapyard drum & bass. Tense and unrelenting with a tapestry of industry cavorting in the backdrops, Synth Sense show themselves to be a true bastion of moody leftfield music.
Method One – Under The Same Stars – Closing this issue, Method One serves up his own dreamy take on 80’s sci-fi in typical style with cowbells and space voice comms expertly woven around digital basslines and keys. Lovely.
