June: 10 drum 'n' bass releases you need to hear this month
Kasra, Mikal, Dawn Wall and more
Dawn Wall 'Twin Falls' (Integral)
The guessing game on d’n’b’s longest-running alias saga continues – but frankly, who cares when we’ve now come to expect regular slices of Dawn Wall goodness? The sumptuous piano and dizzyingly warm bass pulses on this new EP’s title track are intense and absurdly rich: the luxurious deep-end tones of an Ivy Lab, the glistening breaks of a Calibre and the artful melodious tinkerings of a SpectraSoul, perhaps? See, it’s more fun to invent one’s own hybrid conclusion. And it’s simply not possible to not adore this kind of enveloping quality. Game on.
