Drive

Fucking amazing. It's a neon noir thrill ride with beautiful cinematography, the camera work has a hazy malaise about it like the LA smog except clear and crisp, added to by the frequent use of slow-motion and sparse dialogue. Ryan Gosling's brilliant performance is stripped back, laconic and raw, the violence is visceral and it's all scored by a sexy-as-fuck synth soaked soundtrack. Plus it benefits from casting Brit Carrey Mulligan and Christina Hendricks who's body rolls like the hills of the English countryside and has a role that's all too brief. What are you still doing here? Go watch it now.

Mosca - Bax

Mosca's latest has a bouncing bassline reminiscent of 94's 'Show Me Love' by Robin S, which gives the skittering 4x4 a classic rave tinge. Released on Numbers its A-side 'Done Me Wrong' also has a lovely little garage beat, skipping along over an eliptical wub that resonates into a wonky whistle when the female vocals cease to be clipped and come to drop.

Order it over on the Numbers site.

Camo & Krooked - Run Riot

This was played on the Hospital Records podcast last night and tore my kitchen down. The huge, whirring breakdown drops into a spiraling bassline of "pure and utter filth" as Hospital head honcho London Elektricity calls it. Camo & Krooked are delving deeper into dubstep with their furious and unrestrained style lending itself well to the rawness of the genre.

The two Austrians burst onto the scene with their Play It/Hidden Edge/Drop It EP on Basswerk in 2008, they were signed to Hospital Records back in December 2010 after they played on Grooverider's show and he called them "one of the biggest talents in drum & bass". In July they provided a proper boisterous mix for Annie Nightingale's Radio 1 show. which is well worth a look before hitting the club.

Vice Party @ Green Door Store

Went to the launch party for Vice's figuratively and literally LARGE Photo Issue. See how they do with the full review up on Brighton Source, yeah.

"The photo issue is one of the most highly anticipated of the year and the launch party was suitably raucous. Ain't no party like a Vice mag party."
