Review: "Time Travelling" features deep conga hits over swirling atmospherics and fluid bass and drums. The relentless arrangement keeps the energy up right to the end. "Soul Sauce", on the b-side, is a trip to Cuba for some bossa nova inspired beats. Emotive and energetic, the arrangement keeps this one simmering throughout.

Review: The man with the most challenging name in drum & bass, DgoHn (pronounced 'John'), makes some of the most challenging beats too. "Elle" starts off serenely enough but suddenly builds into a crescendo of crashing beats, reverberating bass and chiming chimes! This is a rip-roaring Subtle Audio release.

Review: Immaculate drumfunk right here as Subtle Audio and Opposite Recordings buddy up for a trip back to some of both label boss's classics. First up is the evergreen jazz mystique of Dissident's "Universe Eat Universe". Haunted woodwind, epic spacious drums; this is the Russian enigma at his deepest and most Subtle. Code's "Dark Nights" follows on a much more paranoid, fast-lane vibe. Creepy arpeggios over ever-mutating, rolling breaks and eerie tension textures; Code had his eye on the future when he wrote this.

Review: Subtle Audio release number 6 is here, where Equinox makes a welcome return to the fold. Two different styles here, "Retroism - Where Are You?" harks back to the old days, and rolls out an amen reminiscent of the mid-nineties Good Looking style. What sets this one apart is the combination of the beautiful atmospherics with a subdued vocal "Don’t Know Where You Are". Simmering somewhere between uplifting and melancholic the master of beat manipulation shows he can orchestrate too. Just in case the A Side dazes you a little, the AA Side should snap you right out of it! "Roy Ting" opens with stark atmospherics and someone telling of a vision they wish they hadn't seen. The drums crash in, not too busy at first but once the brooding bassline sinks it's a different story. Suddenly you're engulfed by a veritable whirlwind of snares as a maniacal drummer lets loose!

Review: Subtle Audio welcomes Fracture & Neptune back to deliver a sumptuous slice of space age drum-driven melancholy with "Apollo". Drifting and intense all at once, this melange of symphonic funk has found favour with the likes of Tony Coleman of Hospital Records.

Review: There's something pleasingly inventive and unusual about this EP from Kyam, a Cardiff-based producer who has been making his mark in drum and bass over the last few years. Check for example opener "Sigh", where delay-laden, indie style guitar motifs and thickset sub-bass catch the ear over a tweaked, jungle-influenced breakbeat. He continues to dub-out distant rock riffs on the creepier and arguably heavier "Fernweh", while closing cut "Trinket" does a terrific job in joining the dots between early '90s cut-up jungle business (complete with booming sub-bass), dub and more jazzy D&B flavours.

Review: Stark jungle dynamism from Subtle Audio boss Code as he finally unleashes his collaborative EP with Mecca. Coming on strong like a Paradox record, "In Cold Blood" is all built around the galvanised steel breaks and eerie sample work. Unpredictable neck snappery, the drum work is nigh-on immaculate right here. "Ice World" has an early Moving Shadow feel to it; all weeping and wailing FX over another barbed drum arrangement, as with the title track it's joyously unpredictable. Bloody marvellous.

Review: Now nearing their 10th year in the game, Code's Subtle Audio imprint continues to push the creative limits of drum & bass without compromise or confusion. Treading a fine line between experimentalism and excitement, each of these five cuts will enthral the heads while entertaining the larger crowds. Highlights include the mad jazz freneticism of Nebula's "Untitled Soul", the stirring shards of unfettered euphoria on Naibu, Traxx and Biggins' "All Is Silent" and the raw organic drum swing of Psycho Mantra's "Sing To Me". Taken from the epic album, this double 12" is as limited as it is recommended.

Review: Firesome fractured beatwork ahoy! Nic TVG pushes and processes the breakbeat template as far as it will go across each track. "Timelapse Of A Tuesday" is all stuttering edits and insane fills while "The Clown" takes the minimal two-steppy breakbeat flavour and gives it a trippy sheen where the concept of time no longer seems to matter. Flip for remixes; Dgohn gives "Friday Nights With Heather" a classic jazz jungle swing while Anstam warps "Then I Disappear" into a distorted, muffled pattern of soulful scariness. Unique.

Review: "Pressing Buttons" opens with punchy kick drums and snappy snares before hard-hitting subs and an incessant looped vocal drop together to create a raging storm. Stop! The chirping synths signal a respite, but it's only temporary as the momentum builds again. All the while there's an unknown life-form trying to communicate through a static polluted intercom system. Dancefloor - but not as we know it! "Failspan", the first track on the AA side, is a wedge of itchy fidgety robot-insect breakbeat. It's probably the quirkiest piece of drum & bass you'll hear in a long time! Finishing off this 3 tracker is "Bouncing Octagonal Fragments" - this is drum & bass but with a lot more space than usual.
