Sampler 1 taken from Hench's Mixtape Vol. I. "The explosion of dubstep in the UK (and Bristol in particular) has dictated that the standard of production and new ideas is fiercely competed. Nevertheless, Hench is one label that remains at the forefront of this ever-expanding scene. The 13th release from the imprint presents an outstanding 12" comprised of 'Rhythm' from label boss, Jakes, along with the debut release from Bristol's rapidly rising star, Mensah. 'Rhythm' is the name, and you can bet your bottom dollar that this tune has it. Immediately setting the step, a background siren gives the warning for what's about to follow. With Jakes' vocal defining the riff of the track, get ready for a bassline that's best described as 'underwater funk'. This tune's had a lot of love from all the right people, and it's not hard to see why -- with Jakes' innovative flavour stamped all over it, 'Rhythm' truly stands out in the crowd. Flip over for the bass-led rhythm of 'Pulse 80's'. Building the intro with a glitchy lead-synth and punchy kick-drum, nothing detracts from the simple yet effective pulse of the beat. When the bass drops, expect the dancefloor to be bouncing up and down in time. Showcasing Mensah's diverse influences, this is just one example of the various different styles of dubstep productions he's producing right now."
