Noisia - 9/10

'10 Years of Vision Recordings' (Vision)

Groningen production kings Noisia emerged triumphant from the high-octane dancefloor wars of the mid-00s: the first d'n'b supergroup since Bad Company, and a widescreen, underground counterweight to Pendulum's big-label bombast.

This was a trio that inspired real fear in the dance: witness the pulverising bass-weight of 2005's 'The Tide', a neck-snapping tech ruckus that channels The Prodigy's raw breakbeat energy, or the wonky squelchings of bounce-around anthem 'Diplodocus', which still sounds as muscular as anything being made today. Twenty back-catalogue stompers plus two new tracks are here, so go get 'em.
