It's been quite a while since Martin Mefjus last treated us to a full release, but boy have him and Vision-owners Noisia more than made up for it with this seminal release. Particles is a six-tracker with features on every tune: Camo & Krooked, Skeptical, Phace, IMANU, Break & Noisia. What a lineup that is, and it exceeds expectations as the Austrian trio of Mefjus and Camo & Krooked smash things to pieces on 'Sidewinder', a deeply unique track with a stepping, featherweight drum line, funky synth work and a seriously track structure which moves from hardstyle-esque sounds into drum & bass and back again. IMANU's feature on 'Transit' nails the neurofunk vibe (emphasis on the funk), whilst things get minimal on Skeptical's 'Amber'. Unbelievable Jeff.

Type Album
In 2007, DJ Hidden released his first album entitled "The Later After" on the now defunct label Ad Noiseam. This is the remastered edition of this album: all tracks have been revisited and perfected as much as possible.
"This is what the scientists at CERN found when they started the Large Hadron Collider in 2008. In predictable Lovecraftian style they opened a gateway to a dimension of pure eeeeeeeevil and let out a massive amount of dark forces that was somehow (don’t ask me about details, I only heard this from my uncle who worked there as a janitor) concentrated into an exclusive first copy of The Later After before the singularity transported the album one year back in time to it’s release. At this point MacGyver miraculously showed up and managed to turn the machinery off. In the chaos that ensued the scientists finally concluded that they had witnessed a wild card scenario only RYM reviewers could have foreseen, but at least it was more satisfying than the “destruction of the universe” scenarios everyone had been fearing up until then."

Cre8 DnB Music are regular appearances here for two main reasons. Firstly, they release a hell of a lot of music. Secondly, it almost always hits hard and in good order. So, with that in mind, let's take a look at Magenta's collaboration ep, the next instalment in a Cre8 DnB special of huge sounds. '10G' featuring Forest Animal is without a doubt the highlight of the EP, with an infectiously funky arrangement that's grounded in a glitchy sense of progression and movement. It goes hard, but in a way that's not off-putting or over the top. That's the general impression of this EP: jump-up, but not trashy jump-up. Just the way we like it.
