SumOne - Oblivion


A Oblivion
B Hide Your Faces
C Sad Spirits Meditation
D Hell Is...


Planet Mu welcomes US junglist SumOne to the fold with a sinisterly affected single of refried Burial style steppers and Breakage shaped forward D'n'B. 'Oblivion' makes no bones about it's influences with a Burial styled dark and ethereal stepper, all clocking woodblocks and grimy textured atmospherics with serious darkside overtones that will sit perfectly next to your S.Y.N.K.R.O records or the brilliant Spatial 10". 'Hide Your Faces' is one for the clandestin warehouse crew, with an electrified revision of Breakages junglist reductions formed from staggered snares and liberlally applied delays, while 'Sad Spirits Meditation' combines melancholy Mu-ziq - alike IDM melodies with tricky percussive rolls for intricate stepwork. Final track 'Hell is...' reminds us of the brilliant Amit, with a mean halfstepped D'n'B roller displaying some impressive subbass prowess and frankly evil atmospherics descending into voodoo junglisms. Fans of Breakage, Amit, or Burial will adore this record...www.boomkat.com

dBridge - The Gemini Principle



01. Seven Year Glitch
02. Blush Response (Feat. Instra:mental)
03. A Lost Cause
04. Ponderosa (Feat. Calibre)
05. Creatures Of Habit
06. Mr. Malcontent
07. The Question
08. Desire Line (Interlude)
09. Pure Elegance
10. Cast A Cold Eye
11. The Yearning
12. Mourning Dawn
13. Mana's Lamen (Outro)

What's going on? Two utterly sick D'nB releases in one week! With the sort of credentials some producers would kill for including releases for everyone from Trouble on Vinyl to Soul:r, the man like D-Bridge counts none other than Burial amongst his biggest fans and it's clear to see why when you've listened to this album. Initiating itself as the best D'n'B album since Breakage's 'This too shall pass', 'The Gemini principle' comes laden with eight cuts and not a duffer in sight, certainly a hell of a lot more than we could say for a recent comeback album from a certain celebrity jungle producer. The mood is brilliantly uncompromised by any commercial factors here, instead just cutting straight to the chase with a selection of certified dancefloor heaters sounding like the best of a massive range of our favourite hardcore/jungle/D'n'B heads from Paradox and Dillinja, to Breakage or Foul Play, but never once slipping into feeble imitation or homage and instead forging a headstrong and highly effective sound. Fans of any of the aforementioned producers must check this out, it's proper corker. Essential Purchase...www.boomkat.com
