Drum 'N' Bass
October: 10 drum 'n' bass releases you need to hear this month
Noisia, Lenzman, Dawn Wall and more
Need For Mirrors, Digital & Spirit 'Cool Vibration' (Interactive)
The sight of these three names on a release together is enough to turn heads, promising the modern low-end sonics of the excellent Need For Mirrors and the cold, creative steel of the old masters. ‘Cool Vibration’ nails a stop-start dancehall vibe with aplomb: a stepping percussive head-nodder, all springy snare punches and a repeated, one-note synth line that bewitches the senses as myriad drums rattle around behind. This is clever, hypnotic skank-out fare from a seriously experienced collaboration.
