F1nk (5:31)
Sudoeste (feat Bim Sanga) (4:54)

Review: Bristol's Addison Groove is back to get well funky! The Groove boss and 50Weapons staple gets some low slung party vibes in full effect on "F1nk" which is a wicked tool that's looped to perfection. On the flip, he goes deeper into the night on the well hypnotic and very exotic polyrhythmicity of "Sudoeste" and features good mate Bim Sanga - it follows up their excellent Where Are The People EP ?on Bags Inc. last year. This one was our pick of the two and is perfect for those heads-down or 'get weird' moments on the dancefloor. Tip!

War On Venius (3:46)

Review: Mysterious subversive beat/bass meddler Amduscias makes his debut with this dizzying four piece on Space Hardware. Coming on strong like a post-apocalyptic theme tune, the self-titled "Amduscias" opens with twisted technoid bubbled and strange gluey halftime beats while "She-Witch" gets its Tim Wright on with warped alien bass lasers and a mutating jacking beat. Flip for even more stark designs as "That Nonsense Beat" bends time beneath heavy warped chord blankets and "War On Venius" gets its grain on with heavily textured, switching drums and vast paranoid pads.

Outsource (6:07)

Review: It's been a while since Blackest Ever Black turned the key in their A14 machine but it's clearly in working order as Beneath takes us for late night drive through the murkiest of bass/techno/breakbeat hinterlands. "Cloudy" is a sludgy, warped jam that would sound just as good in an Om Unit set as it would a Radioactiveman selection. For a little more grunt flip for the stripped back and rolling "Outsource" where the industrial strength drums suddenly get wrapped up in a short series of pure chord uplift. Hardboiled just as A14 likes to cook them; let's hope both parties don't leave it so long next time...

Review: Previously spotted on Nomine's Nomine Sound and Fox & Hound, Berlin's CPE gets his fractured jig on with Georgian label Transfigured Time. Weighing in at six tracks it's near-album sized, too. Highlights include the brittle neck snaps and alien charm of opener "CTRL", the grainy decays and paranoid ghetto funk of "Projects 32" and the physical rabbit punch beat blows of "This Is Science". And that's just the half of it...

Review: Tropical bass music specialists Dengue Dengue Dengue have released some stellar music in recent years, including two fine albums on Enchufada and, more recently, a highly limited, carnival-themed 10" via On The Corner Records. Here the Peruvian duo returns to that label with a sizzling new EP. There's plenty to enjoy, from the doomy, trumpet-sporting 21st century electro-cumbia of opener "Pua", to the loose-limbed, slipped tropical house percussion and trippy electronics of "Dileke", via the sparkling melodies, traditional South American instrumentation and soft-focus rhythms of "Eye Acucho". They also join forces with Brazilian producer Joutro Mundo to remix Ayani Huni Kuin's "Habu Raminibu", cleverly turning it into an atmospheric chunk of languid South American tropical house.

Cat: FTD 009. Rel: 26 Sep 18

Tallarita (5:45)
3.6 (5:24)
Everlasting Legacy (Functional mix) (4:52)

Review: Loic Berger's previous releases under the E-Unity alias have seen him shun easy genre categorization, instead fusing elements of techno, electro, breakbeat revivalism and guttural house. This EP for FTD is similarly hard to pin down. A-side "Tallarita", sits between a four-four beat or hardcore era breakbeats, with the curious selection of musical elements atop - creepy stabs, chiming melodies and pulverizing analogue bass - only enhancing Berger's thrillingly mixed-up mood. Over on side B, "3.6" brilliantly mangles a two-step rhythm and combines it with all manner of weirdo electronics and weighty bottom-end pressure, while "Everlasting Legacy (Functional Mix)" is a hot-stepping blend of super-spacey synthesizer melodies, chiming ambient motifs and bustling, dub-wise dancefloor riddims.

Iskeletor - "Afromax" (1:52)
Iskeletor - "Afromax" (Gantz Seytan remix) (3:53)
Grup Ses - "Mimar" (Iskeletor remix) (1:49)

Review: It's been a while since we last heard from Kerem Sevincli AKA Iskeletor, an Istanbul-based beat-maker and bass-loving experimentalist who last featured on Tektosag way back in 2013. His return to the imprint boasts a trio of tracks on one-side, with an attractive, etched illustration on the other. He begins with "Afromax", a two-minute flurry of chopped experimental hip-hop beats, mangled bicycle bell and nuts-and-bolts percussion and wonky, shape-shifting electronics. Gantz Seytan remixes, cannily emphasizing the wonkiness of the beats on an outer-space excursion that's near hallucinatory in its twisted, slow motion approach. To round things off, Sevincli offers up his rework of Grup Ses cut "Mimar", re-casting it as a dystopian, ever-changing experimental beatscape rich in redlined sounds and epileptic drumbeats.

Cat: VERSION 010. Rel: 17 Oct 18

Life Gamble (4:46)
12:09 (6:54)

Review: As a DJ, promoter and producer, Version boss Orson has been championing dubstep in Germany longer than almost anyone else (fact: he made his production debut way back in 2010!). These days he's an established figure internationally, releasing music that's every bit as good as that made by the sound's British pioneers. "Life Gamble", which opens his latest EP, is something of a peach. Built around a headline grabbing, digi-dub style bassline, the track is deep, dreamy and melodious, with ambient sound washes offering a neat contrast to his ricocheting dubstep beats and blazed audio textures. Flipside "12:09", meanwhile, is a far more straightforward proposition, with the German bass-head serving up an intoxicating dancefloor stepper rich in stabbing bass and echoing electronics.

Und_92 (5:44)

Review: Bristol bass fusionist Peverelist looks back a decade to the heady hurly burly of 140 music in 2008 and his intrinsic role within its development. "Bluez" remains as timeless and breezy as it ever did. Lightly touched and clearly inspired by the Goodlooking chapters of jungle, it's now been remastered to stand up against today's productions. Meanwhile on the B we have the long lost dub "Und_92". A much dubbier technoid piece that, in hindsight, was a key stepping stone en route to his respected position in techno today. Ageless.

Review: Irish producer Ruff Cherry has so far left a small trail of breadcrumbs for any seekers switched on enough to follow, from an early 12" on A Sagittariun's Elastic Dreams to a pair of singles on Midgar, but now the mysterious artist lands on the increasingly intriguing Well Street label and the results are fantastic. "Siren" is an ear-snagging trip through driving but non-standard beat formations shot through with a dubby melancholy, while "Innocent" heads into weirder territory with more audacious sound design and plenty of voluminous bass swells. "Carousel" keeps things fractured and bleepy, while "Keeper" focuses on tribal percussive intonations and a brooding atmosphere to get fully immersed in.

Review: Following up great releases by EVA808, Epoch and V.I.V.E.K, American bass imprint Innamind returns with some deep dubstep - courtesy of Utrecht's Tomas Roels, better known to us as TMSV. Moody low-end pulsations permeate the powerful opener "No Sleep", while "Temple" gets off on a more uplifting vibe with its ethereal pads, creative rhythm arrangements and hypnotic melodies. Lastly on the flip, "Maniac Mansion" proudly wears its U.K. influence on its sleeve. Following up great releases for labels like Cosmic Bridge. Artikal Music and Black Box, Roels is, well - on a roll!

Review: Ten years after his debut solo album Gemini Principal, Exit bossman, D&B sage and ardent futurist Darren White tells us where he's at with his sophomore A Love I Can't Explain. Taking us several thousand leagues into his abyss, the vibe is heavy, moody, pensive and synthetic. Created on a whole arsenal of outboard machines, and not a sample in sight, this is dBridge in his most creative and narrative; political themes can be felt in the slo-mo autonomic purrs and glides of "Monitored Meanings", tension, pressure and hope combine somewhere in the distant future on the Lewis James collaboration "Violent Circuit Autonomy" while "Nachtlus" takes us even deeper into the machine where the distortion and textures are so strong you sense you can feel the circuits throbbing around you. Closing with his regular set opener "UR A Star" (a cover of his brother Steve Spacek) he leaves you writhing in the sudden twist of light at the end of a long dark tunnel. Immense, perplexing and built to last... This is an album we'll keep coming back to for years to come.

The album is a wonderfully full-throttle and mixed-up affair, with the shadowy bass lieutenants giddily flitting between quick-fire sections focusing on South African gqom, footwork, Juke, vintage hardcore, early jungle and more contemporary dancefloor experimentalism, each broken up by typically blazed and paranoid ambient interludes and the occasional surprise selection. There's a lot going on throughout, but that only adds to the fun. In other words, it's a triumphant finale to a landmark mix series.
