“Inperspective Records makes a very welcome and long overdue return after a 2 year hiatus with a brand new single of unquestioned quality.
Macc & dgoHn have been two of the most prolific and original artists on the breakbeat Drum and Bass scene for a number of years now… Praised and admired by many the list of artists that love and respect their music has grown exponentially. Zane Lowe and Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1. Aphex Twin is also an admirer and his festival playlists feature them too. Along with Equinox, Code, Wilsh and Amon Tobin, they have never been short of outlets for their music and this release is no exception.
Enjoy!”

Profane Illisauga EP [DWREK002]
Back like he stole something is the mighty Profane with a fresh five-tracker. If you can find an intro for any project that can top the sunrise-soundtrack that is “Stoned Love”, bring it on. Those string-lead stabs pair perfectly with some boastful horns, all falling atop some drumfunk-y Drum & Bass breakbeat pressure, sure to be the intro track to any forward-thinking DJ’s set. We get a re-touch on his “Ever Since” cut, which takes us on a bass-driven trek through some blaxploitation-era city streets. Sounds like the theme music for a modern day vigilante. The “v.808” re-rub of “Something Holdin’ Me Back” maintains the original’s throwback sound, while tightening up on other areas – all the while keeping you in that state of sullen paranoia. “Poisonous Swordz” thrives on a hybrid sound, combining pulsating beats with ‘Fane’s intoxicating use of vocal loops and a sick guitar snippet. Rounding things out is the heavy amen-pressure of “Illegal”, which will satisfy ANY fan of DnB’s most endearing sound. The Illisauga EP is Profane’s signature blend of Hip-Hop-soaked sample usage alongside breakneck beats, and should be a proper showcase for anyone who is looking for those dusty but digital riddims and finding nothing but cookie-cutter cornucopia’s of corny fodder in their record shops. Do yourself a favor and buy two copies: one for personal use, and another as a treat to an unsuspecting friend.

BAD. Been waiting for these tunes for a minute after hearing it played a lot, especially ‘Samfie Man’. Morphy drops his signature style on each track from the amen tune ‘Hermies’ into the heavy dub influenced ‘Version’ and ‘Warren Dub’ with him live on the melodica. Definitely some original and fresh dubwise DnB not following any of the cliches of that style. Out now on Nerve Recordings.
