Review: Adding a wild card flavour to Livity Sound ever since appearing on its Dnuos Ytivil sub-label back in 2016, Forest Drive West has used the parent label as his more club-centric vibe. This EP follows his 2018 Aspirations album, and leading with the linear kicks and offbeat hats of "Dualism", Forest Drive West heads its production in the direction of misty techno designed to be heard in the woods - before turning toward a more classic Italian polyrhythmic sound and atmosphere via "Ritual". That saddles up next to some Leo Anibaldi-like basslines in "New Day" with something of a bonus track coming in "Scorpion" which sees FDW hook up with the live and acoustic drums of Australian instrumentalist Lucky Pereira.

Review: Released in 1999 by Lenny Fontana, remixed by Nu:Tone in 2005; 'Spread Love' is an absolute anthem in both house and liquid circles and has been a standard ever since. Now it's story continues into the new decade as Makoto and Pete Simpson cover it with total respect and charm. Still like sticking your head in the middle of gospel choir, still one of the most positive tunes you could ever play, this special cover to mark Hospital's 25th anniversary is faithful in every way. Comes complete with a rough and ready amen slap-about 'Contact'. Spread the word.

Review: Once again we take a dive into the latest offering front he Ritual Poison catalogue, who this time welcome the ground-shaking sounds of Escape Earth to the party for four tracks of original breakbeat goodness. We begin with the hardcore inspired drum slices and grizzly basslines of 'Dropping With The Force', which kicks us off with some serious impact. From here 'Solar Storm' lets fly a wave of acidic goodness with some audibly pleasing synth work, chased up by the tasteful distortion and glittering melodic twists of 'Blasting Rocks'. Finally, the party takes an unusual turn as the warbling LFO expressions and jumping rhythms of 'Universe' provide us with a corker of an outro.

Review: It really is hard to find words that hold Encrypted Audio is as high enough of a position of praise as we feel they deserve of late. Their catalogue just keeps getting better, with this latest four track delight being yet another bag of bombshells. We begin firstly with a dive into 'Untitled', a weird yet wonderful warbling behemoth of a stepper alongside 'Grawinke; before 'Manufacturing Defect' links together sweeping synthetic clumps and super groovy rhythmic arrangements. The party takes a much more experimental tone next as the epic arpeggiator drills and Edwardian string samples of 'Warning' alongside Scooped leap into action, closely followed by a killer closer in 'Sourdough', a closer that sees both DubApe and Xakra display their love for the darker side of steppers music. Excellent work.

Review: A new philosophy as time enters a radical history of our evolution. Being and nothingness in one, creatures of habit, the angels of nature, we can herald a new humanity. DJN4 enters in homage. Optimus Yarnspinner. Edification through music bends, but does not break the untameable lost voices. This dissolution of ego, where culture exemplifies the principle of innovation through excess, the nocturnal brain sees only what it seeks. The order of time is more than a conspiracy of the people, this enforced interlude does not mean culture's end. Our culture, music's culture, acts as a genome, a graffiti of society. The psy, the rave, the sounds, the species, the food of the gods. Alpha Juno, Cyclon 303, mutable instruments and ideas collated, N4's modern mysticism to harness the Earth as a being of sound. This occult features an anarchism, offering us a collective immortality, allowing us, showing us, how to be more humane. Across eight tracks, our DJ weaves a journey to the inner and outer digi sphere, a two-year search, in to steppas, out of dub, evoking legitimate synthesis and sensibility. Look beyond Zamonia. The lost Chord. An alien dreamtime. Tales of Z.

Review: One of the regular labels we feature are Sub Heavy Audio, a fantastic label that puts out a diverse sound ranging from techy rollers to jump-up steppers and even liquidy numbers. This week they've arrived with an EP from Damageman, who, across three tracks, spans various tones and styles, all of them rooted in a sense of dancefloor aggressiveness and all of them top-notch. 'What Doing' is a highlight, its rolling percussive line is pacey, loping and satisfying, whilst a smooth bass and sweeping low frequencies sit just above and inject all the force. 'War' is also a wicked track, with a lovely, stripped back drum line that's full of moody sonics. Top stuff.

Review: When you see the names Commodo and Sector 7 Sounds on the same page you instantly become excited as a 140 music fan. This latest offering is exactly what the doctor ordered as the A-side 'Scabz' once again explores the magnificent production mindstate of Commodo, linking distant, bubbly melodic plucks with grizzly sub-bass pounds below a shaker-heavy rhythm section. The flipside 'Guah' is a much more classic sounding Commodo original, with washes of unique percussion giving the track an instant level of depth between unpredictable high ended stabs and more subtle-subby goodness. Incredible stuff from two of the most consistent names in 140!

Review: There really seems to be no slowing the progression of the GS Dubs team, who alongside their parent label: Garage Shared, have continued to showcase the best in new school garage music with incredible levels of consistency. This latest two track outing from Chimpizm is another example of their fantastic ear for a banger, kicking off with the moody, low-ended bassline expressions and catchy vocal slices of 'Raggamuffin Biznizz', reworking a tried and tested vocal sample into a sizzling roller. On the flip, we dive down a much more delicate avenue as 'Your Time' links together aquatic chord delays and pleasing shakers beneath an array of heavily reverberated vocal choirs to give us something extremely refreshing. Yet another wicked display from the GS team!
