Review: Next up on Breaks 'N' Pieces, we are back with another killer four track display, this time welcoming the futuristic yet industrial tastes of Bolam inside to deliver an array of outstanding originals. We begin with 'Thunderclap', a monstrous combination of creeping bitcrushed sub-lines and murky percussive stutters, giving the track a haunted vibe right from the off. Next, The jungle influences become a lot more apparent as 'Hype Shifter' delivers more belting 808 bass pulses, this time in combination with skippy breaksy sampling, followed by the aquatic synthy drifts of 'Indecipherable' for a bit of a switch in pace. Finally, the legend that is Al Wootton arrives to give his unique twist on 'Hype Shifter', morphing the track into a swampy speed-garage fusion, finding a truly unique sonic pocket to play with. Lovely stuff!

Review: Gr8 scott! High R8 are celebrating 10 years of being at the forefront of dnb, grafting at the future talent coalface and we're in for a treat of a trip down memory lane. Featuring early cuts from modern day donnies like Guv, Spaow and K Motionz, the collection takes us back to 2011 then pings us around the last decade by way of crucial cuts from the likes of Damage Report, Dub Bezerker, Nu Elementz, Sub Killaz and beyond. Highlights include the still-raw 'Blood' from Guv, the stripped-back vibe and grungey bass slaps of Diskize's 'Rain' and the haunted cries and sense of tension in Filthy Habits' 'Hidden Secrets' but to be honest the whole collection slaps and really highlights how consistent and ruthlessly gully High R8 have been since they began.
