February: 10 dubstep & grime releases you need to hear this month
Biome, P Jam, Jook and more
Biome 'View From The Edge' (On The Edge)
Biome returns with a bubbling new three-tracker, tapping into a sound that marries influences from dubstep, funky and UK techno as well as various other strands of hybrid bass abstraction. ‘Run’ is deftly laid out, with tribal drums underpinning rumbling bass and blaring purple synth sounds, while ‘Remembrance’ continues on a similar tip, only tenser. The jittery ‘Niagra’ is rooted in angular bass tones and classic breaks, but leans more toward footwork and juke than dubstep stylings.
