FOREST DRIVE WEST Vinyl & CDs

Review: London-based artist Forest Drive West lands on superb Munich label Ilian Tape here with a new hand-stamped 12". He is someone who has mastered hi-fidelity minima bass music over the last few years, mostly on Livity Sound. This time out he offers four more of his intricate and masterfully designs cuts across two sides of vinyl as part of the ITX Series. As always there is a perfect balance between light and dark, physical groove and emotive synth work that pulls you in deep to his unique musical world. Do not sleep on this one.

Review: The first Various Artists release on Kynant, 'K.Y. Space'. Mike Parker's unmistakable modulations and the broken-beat, UK techno of Forest Drive West share the A-side.Korridor's ultra-deep sonic exploration leads into fellow Swedish artist Fjader crafting a downtempo beat in her signature ambient style. Mastered by Neel.
