Catch Sach in the evening, he got mental 'til dawn

| The Wrath of Kahn, Neek and Gorgon Sound | February 13, 2015 |
Kahn and his partner in crime Neek have unleashed a torrent of tracks operating in hyper-specific genre confines, thriving in the process. While both producers have released free-form material as part of the Young Echo collective, their Roots, Dancehall, Dubstep and Grime tracks under their principal aliases and as Gorgon Sound stand as some of the strongest sound system music in recent memory.
| Bloom’s Hydraulics: What the f… | November 11, 2014 |
Hindsight being 20-20, Belfast-based producer Bloom's Quartz EP was a major line in the sand for instrumental Grime. The Hydraulics EP, his first release in over a year, pushes his industrial aesthetic to its breaking point.

Born of the same mid aughts explosion that gave us Hyperdub, Tectonic, and Deep Medi, Keysound’s early records weren’t just left of center – they were left of everything. While future […]
| Parris on a mission | October 29, 2013 |
Everyone’s going to be at Fabric and Son Raw is just sitting here in Canada. Parris is a name I’d seen thrown around with Wen, Moleskin, Rabit, Beneath and other up and coming DJs at the periphery of Grime/UK music’s new wave, but without a release or even much completed work on his Soundcloud page, […]
