The six-track : : compilation features familiar faces from previous : : releases, with some featuring artists new to the label. : : : : Freddie Baker, releasing under the moniker Bakey, got his : : first ever label release on Time Is Now last year and has : : been non-stop since, recently copping a spot on the Rinse : : FM Garage Hour. His offering for Allstars Vol.2 is a : : weighty stepper built on a growling bassline. æDismantleÆ : : knocks you off your feet, luckily the second track (a : : collab between Interplanetary Criminal and Hypho) lays low : : in the intro before hitting you with a deep, wobbling : : drop, chopped up vocals skipping across the staccato : : rhythm. While relative newcomer Interplanetary Criminal : : (Zachary Bruce) has specialised in pretty upbeat garage, : : Hypho (Louis Richardson) has been experimenting on the : : bassier side of club music for nearly a decade, and his : : dubstep influence shines through in the depth of æTalbot : : RoadÆ. DJ Crisps - Julio Soewandi - closes out the A-side : : with a comparably bouncy æReady SaltedÆ, dropping a warped : : bassline for added flavour. Soewandi is joined by South : : London singer-slash-producer Ell Murphy on æArms AroundÆ, : : Murphy providing soulful vocals on a slightly dubbed out : : instrumental - Murphy, one half of UKG duo NITEWORK, lends : : a proper garage classic vibe to this one. Joining them on : : the B-side is London-based Mark Ramsey (AKA Yosh), just a : : month after the release of his debut EP on Time Is Now. : : æOver and OutÆ uses adventurous sound design to build a : : cheeky roller. Topping off the star-studded comp is : : CopenhagenÆs own Main Phase. Adam Schierbeck uses this : : alias to put out high-octane breakbeat garage and homages : : to the 90s rave - æSpecial OccasionÆ twists and contorts, : : its monumental bass and MC samples an ode to soundsystem : : culture." : : : : - https://shallnotfade.co.uk/album/time-is-now-allstars- : : vol-2 : : : | | :| |: -:o-------------------------------------------------------------o:- :| .: Tracklist :. |: -:o-------------------------------------------------------------o:- :| |: : : 01.Bakey - Dismantle [04:26] 02.Interplanetary Criminal & Hypho - Talbot Road [03:42] 03.DJ Crisps - Ready Salted [06:45] 04.Yosh - Over and Out [05:42] 05.Ell Murphy x DJ Crisps - Arms Around [05:04] 06.Main Phase - Special Occasion [05:42] : : :| 31:21 min 63.47 MB |: -:o------------------------------------------------------------o:- :| .: Disclaimer :. |: -:o------------------------------------------------------------o:- | | : ATTENTION: this is a vinyl-only release. labels and artists : : have worked hard to create it. we are releasing it only : : to enable those who can't afford a turntable to enjoy : | the music. this release is for HOME LISTENING ONLY. if you | | are a lousy mp3 dj and dare to rinse these tunes at a | :| rave, may your hands fall off! |: :| |: -:o-------------------------------------------------------------o:- :| .: We Send Warm Bass Vibrations to :. |: -:o-------------------------------------------------------------o:- :| |: :| ...our old and new scene friends! |: :| |: -:o-------------------------------------------------------------o:- | ______________________ __|_ _|__ _________________________________\ ..
