September: 10 drum 'n' bass releases you need to hear this month
Jubei, Redders, Rido and more
Rido 'Cut The Midrange' (Blackout)
Surly, waspish, surging tech bullishness from Rido, as a haunting, twinkly intro cuts away savagely into a knuckle-dusting tech thunk-up. There are elements of Hazard’s ‘Machete’ in there, as the scuzzed-up breaks clatter into each other, wrapped tightly around throaty knots of bass. Check the subtle arpeggios that creep up out of the mix, attaching themselves to the snares like strangling creepers.
