Review: The Straight Up Breakbeat team have undoubtedly pulled a seriously cool collection of originals out of the bag with this next mini-compilation as they unveil the first edition of 'Flatliners', featuring four potent breakbeat bangers. We begin with the nostalgic drum designs and powerful bassline action of Aeon Four's 'Ruffer' before the high energy, hardcore throwbacks of 'Immersion' deliver a second punch of good feeling. Next, 'Lift Off' from Infekto pushes together scattered drum breaks and powerful sub-lines below but this time with a spacious pad gracing the high end, followed by one heck of a finale in 'Hypnotic Hardcore', a slower, more ambient creation which brings the project to a gentle close.

Review: It's time to dive into something super experimental next as Special Request joins forces with the team over at K7 for a three track adventure in sound design and retro-flavours. We kick off with a real throwback anthem in 'Vellichor', a fantastic display of synthetic bliss, moulding electro-like synthesizer pulses with shimmering rhythms and sweeping pads, before 96 Back joins the party for 'Petrichor', another solemn sweep through stunning soundscapes and synth design. Finally, the title track 'Compassion' unleashes a more hard hitting feel, driven primarily by the grizzly bass instrument we find lurking beneath a wash of pleasing melodies and minimal percussive plucks. An unusual selection, but oh so satisfying!
