Glume and Phossa have both solidified themselves in the dubstep in the past few years. Middle eastern samples, huge 808’s. Tusk is a tough tough tune, Pariah brings the creepy vibes, Hatchet brings in the bass long a rolling noisy track with some super nice strings.. The title track Buried is middle eastern business!
Mr K is the pinnacle of proper bass weight. Not many producers focus their entire track around the bass line. But Mr K has been doing and always does this. Old school sounds in the new school era.
White Peach return with their sixth "Bits" instalment where Peach pals old and new collide with their freshest, most vitamin-enriched cuts. First up label newcomers Neffa-T and Patrick Brian get rowdy with a space-aged grime stepper "Sabertooth".
All staccato fire and rubber-ball bass it sets the tone for Gundam & Jook's grimey snare-smacking hybrid "Tactical Espionage" and some obese bass ripples from Modelle, who was last spotted on the label earlier this year with the awesome "Paladins" EP. Finally ZHA makes a rare appearance with the wonked out melter "Running VIP".
Shudan debuts proper for White Peach with a real emphasis on showcasing his full sound palette.
Beatless opener ‘Fushidigane’ is a fitting start as hazy melodies collide and bounce off one another almost at will, before things completely switch up on the raucous, early-grime-meets-dubstep-circa-2009 production ‘TM13’.
Title track ‘Arctic Garms’ continues that trend, again referencing early grime but more defined by artillery-like bass drills, until ‘Flammie Riddim’ returns to a more melodic standpoint to finish off, this time spiked with some abrasive bass licks and glitchy arcade samples.
