June: 10 drum 'n' bass releases you need to hear this month
Drums, bass and vibes
Dub One 'Babylon System' (Foundation X Black)
Skitty’s Foundation X project relaunched in 2015, and its Black Label editions are pure vinyl-toting magic. Dub One bludgeons and mesmerises in equal measure, and his intense old-skool Amen workout is a thing of geometric beauty. Sirens wail and rasta intonations hum at the contours, while a Rubik’s Cube of breakbeat fury hammers away with countless infectious rhythmic switches. Check Nolige’s heavyweight stepper ‘Sekkle VIP’ on the other side for more vintage breakbeat wizardry.
