Akov - Shapeshifter EP (Eatbrain)

LISTEN NOW >>>>

He fled without words from his workplace, the other labourers around glancing quickly up at their fellow worker tearing across the derelict site of their toil. Ducking between the scaffolds, his hands clawing wretchedly at his heavy form, as his insides churned and wave after wave of pure violence washed through him. He found the entrance, gasping with relief and pain, before dropping swiftly into the cave beneath the foundation and falling starkly into the dim blackness of the tunnels below. Writhing on the cold stone ground, he felt it ripping through his back and up the side of his face, his eyes glazing then filling with the fire of a pure primal energy as he arched his head back and let out a tearing sound of unleashed psychic tearing and the breaking of his mind. It had him in its grasp, claws ripping through his hands - its presence overtaking him and unveiling his true SHAPESHIFTER nature.

AKOV follows up his recent initial foray on the label with a solid step into the EATBRAIN fold in the form of the SHAPESHIFTER EP. Comprising 4 tracks of exquisitely dynamic neurofunk and experimental beats that dares to dive between tempos and deliver an entirely fresh take on the genre. From the outset with title track SHAPESHIFTER, a curve ball hits swift, as a straight intro leads into a drop that stretches reality and deviates between spacious reese action and busy percussion, before heavily reglitching itself into a deliciously wonky form. ABRAXAS leads a more epic path with a shimmering, beautiful intro infused with ethnic aesthetics that gives way to an entirely punishing machinegun drop that only pauses to reload and issue a heavy staccato bass cannon. With GAMES WITH GOD featuring THE CLAMPS, the metallic nature of the drums edges up a notch and the vibe leans toward a more sinister but rolling edge. FIRST CONTACT turns the tempo way down to 128 but elevates the attitude to a new level, delivering a chugging and brutish stepper of a tune that carries its neuro core effectively to the vein.

The range of ideas within the Shapeshifter EP serves as a technical breath of fresh air to a genre that's build on the concept of progression and experimentation. Akov delivers the manifesto of an artist intent on pushing the sound further, delivered on a label at the forefront of futuristic d&b.

Drumsound & Bassline Smith - Wardance (Album Sampler 2)

LISTEN NOW >> hhttps://soundcloud.com/drumsoundandbasslinesmithttps://soundcloud.com/drumsoundandbasslinesmith
Drumsound & Bassline Smith are one of the most significant acts in drum ‘n’ bass. Their foundations were built in the very earliest days of rave, and their productions have never lost that pioneering spirit. Bridging the gap between the underground and mainstream, able to smash the biggest festival stages while still able to rinse it out for the a cionados, they’ve proven their status time and time again. And, now, they’ve got a a brand new album for us, Wardance. The first single, Come With Me, is already shutting down dances everywhere and stormed to the top of the DnB charts, so the follow-up comes loaded with anticipation.

This time, we’re being treated to the LP’s title track, and it’s clear that Drumsound & Bassline Smith aren’t playing. Wardance opens in a dark, forbidding landscape of unsettling scythe-swings of synth-brass and dissonant pads. It all blatantly signi es approaching danger. As gritty, grimed-up orchestral stabs ll the atmosphere, and chest-crushing sledgehammer kick drums build, it’s time for ravers to nd their space on the oor. We already know this one’s going to be weighty.

The drop has Drumsound & Bassline Smith’s name written all over it. Whiplash strikes of kick and snare, supported by the rolling breaks that have always featured in their work, keep it moving. Insistently sustained waves of bassline, and those electric-charge modulations to mark out the ends of phrases, drive the energy onwards. This one’s going to be a deejay’s weapon of choice across the sub-genre divisions. Tech, rollers, jump-up, however a selector classi es themselves, they’re going to want this on their USB for when it’s rave-destruction time.

It might only be the second taste we’ve had of the Wardance album, but this release, combined with Come With Me, demonstrates that Drumsound & Bassline Smith are at the top of their game. Of course, there’s the scienti c production technicality born of long years of experience, but that’s not all that’s on o er. These producers add an intimate understanding of how to bring vibes to a dance oor. Essentially, these singles tell us that the album is going to be absolutely lethal
