Review: Audio Addict returns with yet more freshness. Building up the troops with a whole new league of next-gen talent, once again we're treated to a wallop of futurism as each artist makes themselves known. Violition goes in on an late 2000s Ram vibe with huge switches and big splashes of breaks, OZ>One pays homage to the epicentre with some really interesting minimal bashment vibes, Bennie & Guest go for the trippy glitches and well crafted automation on 'Indistinct' while Nautik gets our hearts fluttering with his soulful intro and our faces flipping on the disgusting drop. For added filth Akas brings the collection to close with a ridiculous supersize bassline. Addiction never sounded so good.

Знаете, когда разговор заходит о том, что «будущее» уже наступило, то это звучит весьма приземлённо.
В 80-е и в 90-е танцевальная музыка окончательно завладела поступательным движением вперед, которое выровнялось и замедлилось в нашем «настоящем», когда всё и везде стало доступным.
С появлением 1992 году jungle музыки прямиком из танцевального котла, в котором варились house, techno и breakbeat, возникла невероятная вспышка новой энергии, о которой раньше никто и подумать не мог. Через пару лет, jungle сменила новая музыка drum’n’bass и с этого момента все возможности стали казаться неисчерпаемыми. На своем пике, вся эта музыка воспринималась как самая футуристичная из всех электронных жанров и стилей, существовавших в то время. Но потом «настоящее» буквально протаранило «будущее». Эта музыка растеряла силу поступательного движения. Будучи раздираемой внутренним конфликтом между некоммерческой сценой и ошеломительным коммерческим потенциалом, drum’n’bass, как стиль, сам захлопнул на себе капкан. Несмотря на глобальное музыкальное явление, дружелюбные связи с миром pop музыки и относительно хорошее состояние за эти 15 лет drum’n’bass стал сродни «паршивой овцы» на существующей электронной сцене. Музыка остается по-прежнему для не посвященных чем-то слишком сложным, а заполучив нового слушателя, drum’n’bass самодовольно наслаждается осознанием факта, что «массы врубаются в тему».

Review: Remix heaven! Hospital's quarter-century celebrations continue with these exceptional remixes of the label's classics. The Caracal Project turns Camo & Krooked's 'Set It Off' into a lesson in pure futurism, Kings Of The Rollers flip Spy's house hit from 2019 into the big old bruiser it always wanted to be while Think Tonk give Lynx's already awesome hyper-stepper 'Clap Track' a completely fresh (and very wobbly) perspective. Deeper into the EP we hit a powerful take on Q-Project's 'Computer Love' by Kessler before Villem brings us all to an emotional farewell with 'Harp Of Gold'. Seriously Hospital are putting out some of their best music in years right now.

Having showcased regional and international scenes from Cambridge to Tokyo via Budapest, Hospital's 'Future Sound Of' series takes on a whole new dimension; for the first time we take on the giant superpower that is Russia. Drum+bass has been thriving in mother Russia for a while now, with UK and international DJs bringing back reports of some mindblowing parties and clubnights.
With music flooding into the Hospital office from St Petersburg, Moscow and even further afield a 'Future Sound of' soon started becoming an exciting inevitability. 'The Future Sound Of Russia' is as diverse as you'd expect from the largest country in the world. The stylistic spectrum is broad - from the soulful sounds of Electrosoul System (featuring the voice behind Freak Power – Ashley Slater no less), to the experimental ambience of Bop and Dissident, via the awesome dancefloor minimalism of new Hospital signing Subwave - these producers are some of the most talked about in the scene.

Review: The beautiful thing about the ever-present Sentry catalogue is just how versatile it can remain, despite staying true to its dubstep roots. This time around, label-owner Youngsta welcomes the fabulous production arsenal of Substance inside for two system sizzlers, kicking off with 'Dreamstate'. As you can imagine, this is a floaty affair, jam-packed with organic drum textures and eastern-inspired melodic twists, all bolstered up by some ridiculously clean sub-work below. On the flip, 'Bitter End' focuses on some more minimal influences, with eerie melodic expressions and super-powerful bass manipulation playing the lead roles. Sentry have done it again!
