PRPLX’s entitled Fabric Of Space explores the deeper side of the Breakbeat spectre. Clever drum programming as well as going in a bass shakin’ direction, it reminds us of early Bluenote & Speed days but definitely with a modern touch. These tracks are another testament to PRPLX’s love for the Breakbeat. Also included here is the roadtested Taiga track which starts of deep and hypnotic but surprises you with the harsh amen drop, raw synth and dark male reggae vocal.
Calibre returns with his enigmatic dub influenced drum and bass sound, smooth piano stabs with silky rolling beats. His sixth studio album does nothing to dispel this belief and signals a return to his early noughties heyday when he knocked out sublime and understated but fully formed musical gems for fun. Standout tracks “Who’s Singing” and “Mirage” are both haunting lessons in liquid and the tougher edged “Garbage Man” and “Schlager” are built for maximum impact.
Phaeleh steps up to Disfigured Dubz with the atmospheric roller ‘Falling’ b/w a junglist rework from Kulture. Phaeleh’s signature feel for rave-yearning, tranced-out melodic arrangements and cleanly produced dubstep rhythms are fully intact. However, the Kulture remix takes that diva vocal where it really needs to go, arming her with an undercarriage of heavy junglist rollidge.
