Spinline - Made Guy

Spinline are a trio of Hungarian producers whose deep glitch & bass has been popping up in mixes all over the place, and right now I'm really digging Made Guy. Must be the way it switches from light and airy right down into a snarling stepper and back out again.

Lovely stuff.

Original Sin & Taxman - Penamana

In Penamana, Original Sin and Taxman have produced a work of such challenging complexity as to defy conventional critical observation. What on the surface appears to be a standard piece of grinding jump up gives way through further inspection to reveal deeper layers of social analysis, drawing together themes as diverse as Zen Buddhism, proto-Marxist commentary and mathematical constructivism, built around a central foundation that questions both the listener's dependence on and rejection of anonymity in the modern age of communication.

A stand out composition indeed, and one that highlights the fascinating and increasingly prevalent dichotomy between jump up dubstep and modern drumstep.
