Drum 'N' Bass

Kasra, Mikal, Dawn Wall and more
Forbidden Society 'Outlaw' (FS Recordings)
If there’s a screwface moment to be had this month, it’s three minutes into Forbidden Society’s full-throttle tech howitzer ‘Outlaw’. Balanced between snaking neurofunk and hardstyle d’n’b batterage, the thunderous synth wave suddenly finds itself alone, naked, released from all background noise. Pinioned by unforgiving metallic snares and little else, the effect is jaw-dropping. On a big rig, this sounds like being dragged through a sonic wormhole to a very, very excellent place.
