SBM Shouts - Face Melters and Bass Rollers

As usual there’s a nice variation of genres on this week shouts, although for the Dubstep listeners there’s a healthy dose of face meltage in store.

Kicking off with a teaser from the Section 8 Recordings new release the ‘ Split Mind EP’, Split Mind by iBenji is an engineered bass synth assault filled to the brim with massive relentless stabs – canned energy this one. It’s definitely worth getting an ear full of the rest of this dance floor E.P. as pieces from Oceania, Saint Rider and Tim Ismag all bring a rib busting offering to the plate.

Bringing up the pace and switching the mood is Lucas with the pacy house/breaks blend Prophecy. This piece features some classic sounds and a real nice sub-bass, keeping the track locked down. There’s something about this piece that means it keeps it aggression aswell as maintains a deep progressive feel.

Time to lighten the soundscape. Shifting from Zyblot rolls in with bells and a thick warm layer before unleashing a rushing Drum and Bass line and some reverse keys all underpinned by deeply anchored bassline. Zyblot is one of those liquid Drum and Bass producers to keep an eye on.

Now time for another gift from the boys and girls at Unjustified records. Slake from Devnik is essentially a Dubstep stomper of the face melting variety. However, as with most Unjustified records tracks it focuses on variation within the piece, which makes for a nice mid-section. Another feature of an Unjustified Record (not taking themselves too seriously) is brought out in other ways. Toilet humour anyone?

Subfrequency Shouts - The tamed the untamed and the strange

There haven't been any shouts for a while so finally here's a run down of tracks to get your ears on.

Kicking off with some Nu-Disco / House moods is the Clancy re-edit of Alec Carlssons 'Royal Lives'. Clancy goes for the big build on this one with a huge synth bass launching into a big stepping beat line and full layers rising and falling throughout.

Sticking with the House vibes for now and introducing the remix stylings of Enis.  This rework of Empire of the Suns - Walking on a Dream pays homedge to the orginal and refreshed with the loving workmanship of the man behind the 'Our Fathers Legacy' series.

 Bluemotions delivers a tongue check piece of Drum and Bass full of deep mechanical vibes, with 'Robots like to have sex'.

Now we take a visit into the realms of the strange with a new piece from Zabbo. This breaks number kicks off with a dramatic intro before resting into a minimal Dub styled breakbeat blend. Untamed, borders on the strange and challenging style as Zabbo focuses on sampling and effects, taking the listener on a varied journey to the other side. Packed full of different sounds this track achieves its namesake wonderfully.

Finally, its time for something from the Exit Records camp and if your wondering what all the images are about then now your questions are answered. A journey into the strange that will grab you for reasons your not quite sure of. A brilliantly crafted journey in to sound experimentation with an even stranger must vid http://www.binarycollective.co.uk. This has to sampled, its a dark dark place.
