Cryptograms EP by Various Artists
After its last 4-track release - the "Dark Psalms", Eternia Music is back to the classic EP format with this meticulously selected compilation of pitch black beats entitled "Cryptograms". So if you're tired of no-concept-whatsoever-random-track EPs, which have become a dnb staple nowadays, this old-fashion style release is for you. We do it for the sake of minorities, who are still down with the real art of drum'n'bass.
The gloomy EP is kicked off by the man, whose deep'n'dubby riddims have been haunting the scene for nearly two decades. Yes, it's the UK's finest Loxy, back to our imprint with the enigmatic "Masenko Attack". If you dare to try headbangin' to this slowburner - you're a brave, brave human.
The second track welcomes the one liable for the best drum & bass record this year so far. Overlook hails from the South Coast of UK. He is always sure to deliver cosmic yet organic depths to anything he touches. His "Circuit Loop" is a warm and delicate drum & bass power ballad that shall not fail to astonish.
Manchester's own Antagonist is a real deal - that's for sure. Anyone with a slightest doubt of the debutant's skills and musical attitude, must listen to his dark-as-fuck "Lucifer's Calling", which is a prime example of how devilish origins meet high intelligence to create perfect synergy, turning the track into a dancefloor bomb.
The whole journey ends with the inauguration of the new member of Eternia brotherhood. "Beings Of The Wicked Ocean" is a genius track, sticking to the 170BPM mentality, complete with an industrial background one couldn't resist. So, all yer devout dark-heads, would you show some love for Poland-based Erkiu and his sublime vision of future dnb.
