RDG
Tiger Style EP
Circle Vision
Danish bass expert RDG steps into the grimelight with this new EP for the dread Circle Vision imprint, and "Tiger Style" is the first gunshot of the four-track bombshell, complete with a buzzing bassline worthy of any true dubstep rave; "Sky Pulse" follows up nicely with its sparse beat structure and 3D bass frequencies worthy of some sci-fi animation. "Dagobah", taken from the Star Wars ecosystem, rattles forth with an almighty dubwise feel that would surely go down a storm in any serious ode to Jah. Causa's remix of "Tiger Style" is a slower, more lingering stealth weapon with plenty of menacing sub bass. YES.
Jd Reid
Calibrate (Explicit)
Rinse
JD's melting pot is frothing over right now, come take a sup. Stage one: we exercise our tastebuds with the global twangs and prangs of hip-hop beats "Calibrate". Stage two: we get charged up by the rapid-fire bars of crayon-pushing spitter Kojey before dropping into a sublime slime Manuva-style chorus. Stage three: we refresh ourselves with last month's teaser as 808INK spray our faces with new bar designs. Stage four: we chow down slowly on "Chef" as Reid and Hodgy lick the vibe plate clean. Stage five: we end on a bang as Novelist confirms his readiness over a tripped out reverse head-bending riff. Heavy future.
Vexxe
Island Of Ys/U155
EXCLUSIVE
Sure State
Would it be fair to tag the Sure State imprint as being the most consistent outlet for deep, cerebral dubstep nowadays? We like to think so. The hedonistic UK label simply will not stop pushing new artists through its doors, and the present Vexxe, a mysterious producer from the outer fringes of the scene, bursts through their catalogue with a fearlessness that has been lacking from the scene since the days of the post-dubstep fallout. To give you an idea, "Island Of Ys" is a dread march made up of militant drum rolls and strange, off-kilter melodies from outer space, while "U155" bursts its machine-gun percussion about the place like it's a free-for-all - the essence of the gnarliest, most skeletal grime available on the market.
D-Operation Drop
Wrong Dosage
EXCLUSIVE
Surfase
After a pair of bruisers for FatKidOnFire and Moonshine Recordings, respectively, D-Operation Drop land on Surfase with four intoxicated bass experiments that give a new step to the term 'dub'; it's worth mentioning that this is the first time that we've heard the genre mix so naturally with industrial shards of noise. "BabylonAB" runs its distorted quasi-beats over sea of cacophonous sonics, while "Know Yourself" most certainly belongs to the two-step side fo the equation thanks to its sharp percussive edges. "Lowkey", as the name implies, takes a much tamer approach to things by landing a dreamy, subtly dubwise riddim that ends up on some dutty bashment vibes, whereas "Wrong Dosage" offers a mechanical stance in what is surely the most tech-heavy moment in this assortment of dub experiments. Large up!

Various Visions 01
Circle Vision
RDG's Circle Vision creeps up from behind and surprises us with their first V/A EP. Satisfaction levels remain fully flexed as the whole collection is a shoes-off, brain-blown and hair-raised affair throughout: Causa bends minds with a really tripped out bass drone and drum arrangement, Taiko gets all snarly, slimy and similarly illusionary with weirded-out reverse textures and resampled. Deeper again Dark Tantrums devil up the dance with tightly coiled tension while the bossman shoots us to the stars with the spacious space-bound sub stepper "Galaxy Run". Visionary to infinity...

Sun Of Selah
Lost On Earth Vol 1
Circle Vision
Dubstep's dissonant soundtrack usually leaves us floundering in deep space but Circle Vision bossman RDG and his phantom mate K Man have composed a darker trip much closer to home... "Lost On Earth". RDG scores the first two movements: "Rise" spurts danger with the demonic tones of Sun of Selah over a jagged dubby riff while "Against Us" fuses car horns and a paranoid atonal bass riff. K Man provides closure: "Metaharmonics" takes us back to 2008 with its scuffed chrome hook while "Lavender Sky" finally takes us off this gosh-forsaken planet with rocket pads. Due to the squiggly nature of the bass our destination, however, is unknown. Happy travels.

Piezo And Bisweed
Ironman Remixes
Circle Vision
We've got two trips to take back in time to understand the true gravitas of what's going on here... First we head back to 2012 when RDG released the bee's nest rattling original on All Out. Then we leap to 2014 when these remixes came out on limited edition vinyl. Back to the future and each one of the rerubs still sounds way ahead of the curve. Bisweed trips us out with his seasick sonics, D Operation Drop keep the 80s stabs but add a silky funk to the subs, Piezo gets the sledgehammer out while Server gets his loopy techno flex on. Trust- This will still sound future in another 2, 22 or 222 years time.
