New releases last two weeks: Bass

Review: Something very special here from Irish label Woozy as Carre makes her debut on the label with three beguiling works of dub. We're talking real subby, rich, ploughing dub that pushes forward low and slow. 'Meltdown' is more trad hypnotic dub with all the echoes and ripples while 'Crawler' stomps along with a technoid like wink while 'Season Seven' takes us into more broken beat territory. All springy and spacey. Throw in a really classy classic dnb remix from dBridge (which is a bit of a rarity from the big man) and an experimental twist from NVST and we really are melting down. What a trip.

Review: Cosmin TRG is a Romanian producer who crafted some of the underground's most innovative sounds a decade or so ago, before going off to work in other creative worlds. Here, for the first time, he links with countryman DYL for a special EP that is decidedly futuristic. 'Manevre' is Romanian for 'manoeuvres' and comes in three different parts. Each one is fluid minimal sound with deft rhythms, fizzing pads, eerie melodies, sub-aquatic motifs and always absorbing atmospheres. Tammo Hesselink also adds a remix that has more prominent drums, lurching loops and menacing dystopian energy.

Review: An album with a capital ALBUM, Henzo delivers the body of work he's been hinting at for the last few years with releases on the likes of YCO and Worldwide and many an edit. Never sitting still and always being incredibly playful with rhythms, drums and time signatures, the LP format is the perfect playground for H to really stretch his poem pencil. And boy does he scribe us some beautiful yarns... The gritty snarls with the Emby-fronted 'Worm Grunting' rep the heavier, clubbier side but you're never too far away from sudden jolts of euphoria such as the wonky house strutter 'Rustica Slump' or the springy UKG bubbler 'A Bouquet Of Clumsy Words'. Laced and spaced with all kinds of textures and moments that really frazzle the senses (or at least make you pause and go 'wait, what?') The Poems We Write For Ourselves is every bit as curious, compelling and delicious as the brilliant title suggests.

Review: Sunday down-toolings with Challenger Deep's Swiss favourite Luss, offering another slow-cooked 12" plumbing the dub genre's deepest trenches. The Challenger Deep operating base is still mysterious to us, and for all we know - and for all we hear - we could easily believe their HQ/packing house could be an underwater station on the abyssal plane. 'Natural Nature' collapses the old Darwinian binary with tube-shot, bubbly deep dubstep sound design and perimetric beats precision. 'Waves' clambers ashore, after a well-rested gangplank walk, to find deeper ricochets and molluscan shapes in the clouds.
