Drum 'N' Bass
October: 10 drum 'n' bass releases you need to hear this month
Noisia, Lenzman, Dawn Wall and more
Cirrus 'No Matter' (Terabyte Records)
Terabyte is only 28 releases old but the label is snaking up the echelons with solid cuts from similarly burgeoning artists like Cirrus. This tough, spacious, hypnotic stepper from the Washington DC-based producer is in no hurry to go anywhere, its muscular, loping intro of clattering snares and looming atmospherics dropping almost imperceptibly into a fuller, more luxurious version that takes the listener by surprise. There’s no straining to add to the intensity here: just a cavernous broadside of low-end bass hits, which steadily envelope the moody industrial rumble above.
