Here's the press on them both....
"SILVAH BULLET"
Sick sublow dubwonk business on a brand new label from a mysterious camp we have much love for, with four brilliantly executed versions on the deeper bass vibe. 'Silvah Bullet' may initially cause a bit of 33 or 45 (???) confusion but once you've settled into the sturdy halfstep swing you'll be swallowed up whole by the claustrophobic bass undercurrents. From here on in it's a mission deep into the echo chamber, with 'Let it slide' and 'Mi eyez' working on a King Tubby-meets-Disrupt in Chapeltown kinda vibe, proper dark wobbling dubs with fine cut double-time percussion alleviating them from the pits of wobble hell. This is a unique take on a sound that it seems everyone is taking a crack at, and succeeds far better than most. Seriously heavy.
"NO IDLERS"
All low-end fiends need to cast their hazy minds back to last year and the release of a special vampire slaying release from Yorkshire bassgeist a.X.X.o on 'Silver Bullet'. Seemingly dropping out of nowhere with a heavy blend of LFO tweaking subbass licks and stone cold dub techniques this was an unexpected release involving a character not normally associated with this particular scene, but nonetheless someone who has enjoyed huge success as part of another outfit - one that would startle you if you knew. Anyway, him and his crew are back again to drown your summer in sweltering subs with the second release on Killtone and it's an absolute killer. Lead track 'Hell Plate' bears the resonance of bass soaked-up from dances attended at Leeds' West Indian centre with a blend of strictly dubstep styles, mixed with authentically rootsy FX. Our favourite cut 'Pritti Myce' ramps up the tempo to an urgently darkside and double timed swing with tuff subs and DMZ influenced percussion, while 'Thugg Step Empress' could be a Various Production offcut and 'No Idlers' does a mean half stepped dub techno thing reminiscent of Andy Stott's dub productions. Murky, dubby and lethal, just how we like it.
