New Vinyl

Online Dubstep institution Get Darker - compilers of the 'This Is Dubstep' volumes - present two hard-edged and minimal halfsteppers from OG player, Cyrus. 'Hot Pan' layers brain quivering LFO bass oscillations under spooky theremin-style synths and sparse, pointed halfstep drums. 'Ears Lowered' offers more purified darkside vibes with a sharkeyed swagger.

Ultra-crisp, hard-bodied future flexes from Pangaea, dropping one of his deadliest singles to date. The man's hardly known for his high work rate, releasing only a handful of records since he started in 2008, but he's evidently born of a rare breed who exert exacting quality control over their music, hence one of the most definitive catalogues in the modern Bass music canon.

Hotflush presents the return of Sigha with a new EP entitled “Abstractions I-IV”, his sixth on the label. On this release he reaches into darker territory, beginning with a beatless, ambient suspension, drawing the listener in his submerged sonic sphere before dropping into a series of chilling compositions that seem to seethe and smolder at sub-zero temperatures, adorned with haunting electronic blips and synthetic machinations throughout.
