Hyph Mngo is one of the bass tracks of the year

Love this guy's stuff - so simple and more housey than dubstep in feel. Both these tunes are monsters and work magic barrelling out of a big system.

No mention of the vocals on 'Hyph Mngo'? Seems like a pretty large oversight.

I swear 'Wet Look' has a very different feel from 'Hyph Mngo'. I much preferred the A Side!

Some more Joy Orbison tracks circulating in sets - BRKLYN CLLN, Tentative Bidding - seem to indicate that this guy's just getting started, though!

Nopaininpop.com are hosting an incredible mix from Joy Orbison, featuring tracks by, Pearson Sound, EFDEMIN, Carl Craig & unreleased stuff from Joy Orbison himself. Check it. http://nopaininpop.com/2009/06/that-doldrum-joy-sound/#more-2051

Is the 12' out?

Great!

Oh my Godd Big !!

Should be out later this month.

Another killer from Hotflush

is this really that heavenly??

don't hear it.. seems regular 2 step driven affair here...I mean when i heard Adam F's Circles in 1998 THAT blew me away..

why is there soooo much hype surrounding UK music these days?

Another stunning Hotflush release. Label of the year for me, no question.

Because the UK are leading the way in innovative dubstep. This is way fresher than most thats put out. Its not hype,its fact!

Thanks for the tip off - that mix looks like its got some sweet tracks on it - looking forward to giving it a listen!

its simply because one producer like Pangaea or Joy Orbison has much more potential than 100 boring house producer copycats, i think there should be given much more credit cause those uk producers are the only ones breaking boundaries at the moment whereas house is totally stuck to the past ;-9

- yup maybe Dubstep...... but this is a general electronic podium.... overall dubstep isn't breaking any neu ground really... sorry man I just don't hear anything special here... sorry if i break your heart homie..

Hey listen to instramental watching you ;-) and please tell me which tunes you think are sounding fresh if not those ones ??????

this tune is ridiculous, big up hotflush and the mgno crew

Pretty cool although I think I'm digging 'Wet Look' more that 'Hyph Mngo'. Admittedly only heard it on utube so far but might try and get the 12'' when it drops.
Is this going to spawn another UK genre of music? Deep-2-step-tech or something equally ridiculous?

its great they go more and more into just making music no matter what ;-)

what else is new, this guy only reviews dubstep basically. and rarely gives below a 4.

ok we know you like dubstep.

ra find another person to review dubstep please.
or its going to start looking like you are standing back while this guy push's his agenda.

not saying this album doesn't deserve a 4.5 or whatever, but c'mon lets have some disparity.

marsyas cmon what is wrong about reviewers reviewing records which stand out in a genre they like ???!!!! We are not at work we want to feel good here so comon..

Can't think of one review that Oli has done that I haven't agreed with. I for one am very glad that he's lending his writing talents to the site. I also know that Oli loves plenty of music outside of the dubstep scene, but many of our reviewers only tend to write about techno or house, so he fits in to the writing team perfectly.

good. i really do.

Hyph Mngo knocks my socks off

thanks, t/l looks amazing

it even sounds amazing ... dope mix (thanks joe) & fantastic record

if a dubstep track makes it this far (a review on RA!) well obvious, its broken out because it a killer track so yea they tend to get high marks. There are TONS of dubstep releases these days and if you follow the scene what ends up on RA is not surprising, these are the standout tacks, the ones people blog on and on about, are featured in loads of podcasts, on the airwaves, at the dance, etc,,,it just shows you RA is on it-

KILLER!!!!

anthem

sick sick sick
doesn't need any back up by any reviewer and no dude it ain't dubstep it's bass music and a $%^&* anthem of the highest order too. As it says, 'when dropped in a dark room'. that's it..

waiting for Tentative Bidding Clip and the other tunes too!

Joy Orbison is KILLIN IT at the moment>>>

From what I remember of Freerotation, Hyph Mngo was the tune of the festival. It's a stunning piece of music, dubstep or no dubstep.

hadn't really been too impressed by all this new intelligent dubstep stuff till i heard this. amazing track.

Bring back the 2 step !! best party music ever ;-))

if you like this then go for Brackles - LHC , pretty similar and just as good

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't rate this tune?!

total sickness, just what i needed to hear

"Am I the only person in the world who doesn't rate this tune?!"



Yes !

No, I don't understand the hype tbh. I don't see how this is "pushing boudries" at all.

is this not very similar to loads of ish that has been released before in the uk?

Its simply an anthem theres nothing much to understand ;-) Just go and join a party where this tune is plaid the see the crowd reaction and you will understand. Pushing boundaries is about the whole Uk thing like Ramadanman, Brackles, 2562, Brackles, martin kemp all experimenting with sound rhythms and tempos whereas House and Techno got stuck to the past in certain formulas( i wish it would be different i love house)

it's a well produced track... that's about it.. nothing that fresh about it.

Well, thats what you think i thought the same about john roberts mirrors and everybody else hyped it but si it may be different music for different people with different opinions ;-)

Now I'm more convinced than ever that the dubstep hype, and this example in particular, is just a matter of arbitrary and lemming-ish attitude on hyping. Which doesn't mean that these are a pair of wonderful tracks

IMO, john roberts isn't hype, he's very good at what he does and has a very unique sound.

Anthem is not a word I use often and tbh I don't look for anthems, I look for shit that'll move me 10 years from now.

And i still listen to all those Rave Anthem after 15 Years ;-))))) Cmon dont take everything too serious on this forum. Its just a matter of taste. But Deep House definately has the biggest Lobby on this forum i think ;-)

dub techno has the biggest lobby here.

The remarks here justify my belief that there is as much traditionalist defensiveness in dance music as there is at an Eric Clapton concert.

Dubstep isn't here to take over the world, but it is the most exciting and forward-thinking music out there right now, like it or lump it, particularly the infectious new synthesis of Berlin and London sounds.

Check out Shackleton's Sonar set, or Joker's blend of West Coast g-funk with London beats or any one of Scuba's dynamic, power-packed mixes on Hot Flush. The electronica tilt to Mount Kimbie. The soulfulness of James Blake and Pangeaea. To deny this music's inventiveness is to bury your head in the sand.

However, the fact of the matter is this track is more of a guilty pleasure. It isn't dubstep. It's two-step UK garage and far from frontier-defining but within those parameters it's a stunning piece of production. To try and paint dubstep as lacking in innovation by association is not just wrong - it reeks of fear of the new.

SPOT ON MARZIE

I love house and Techno but im bored with its traditionalism, its just looking back, was the same when Drum and Bass came up all my " Techno and House friends" were just like nahh too fast and so on....Its like a fear that something new exciting is coming up very conservative if you ask me ;-))

This is what I was referring to in my first post, it isn't really dubstep, it's two step (I learned something new today). certain producers within dubstep are producing forward-thinking music, I don't know if anyone is denying that. I think it was more, why all the hype with a track that is really just so-so. sure it moves along nice enough, doesn't offend anyone but it hardly grabs my attention like people say it should.

mount kimbie is a producer pushing boundries, crossing genres, making something worthy of all the hype.

I'll check out james blake and pangeaea.

yes some of it is traditionalism and nothing is wrong with that. some people don’t like other types of music or just like to comfortable with what they're used to. if someone is calling something shit that they wouldn’t like anyway, that's different.

you can call it conservative as well but it's not really that either, it's more what move someone. I never liked D & B as more than faze because it never fully interested me. if you're bored with house and techno you're not looking in the right places, look at the dutch techno/electro/house stuff, legowelt, syncom data, stinkworx, very cool stuff. they may not be pushing boundries but they're miles more interesting than the cookie cutter, latin, bongo, tech house made in ableton.
