MG77 007.8EP
|
"This more melodic new release from Berlin-based label MG77 Recordings, reflects the label's versatility and transformability. Mastermind behind the label DJ Maxximus, this newest release since his 12" single 'Reason' feat. Soom T in 2004 shows it was worth the wait! The new release, including a Shackleton remix, pushes the label's usually more heavily bass-driven sound into a more percussive and profound melodic direction. 'Neo' has a dark and deep quality, combined with the silvery synthesizer sounds that simulate the sensation of an eerie walk through something futuristic. The remix masterfully captures this same specific atmosphere coupled with Shackleton's signature style of typically using ethno-driven percussive rhythms, enhancing and colouring the tune with a taint of garage. 'Israhell' has a more upbeat character with a tremulous theme. The wobbly bass lines give the Arab influenced melody and the UK dub drums the perfect backdrop in order for the track to become the highlight it undoubtedly is."

MG77 004EP
|
"After a wicked Planet Mu album, Milanese crushes the dancefloor on Frederic Stader's MG77 label. Employing a 4/4 steppers grimey dub framework, Milanese throws down one of his strongest tracks yet. One side of 4/4 grime with a severe electronic edge, and one side of broken grime variations -- this is the perfect accompaniment to any of the tougher 'Various' productions or any of MG77's rudeboy anthems. Essential."

MG77 003EP
|
"The latest release from central Europe's prime dubstep/grime imprint MG77 is the blistering debut 12" from Hamburg's finest, Phokus; a producer who cut his teeth on the burgeoning drum 'n bass scene before discovering grime and dubstep and seeing his true calling. It's obvious from the first squelch of synthesizer that the kid has styles unmatched in the scene -- this is heavy hitting music, designed for maximum impact and with hooks that are destined to stay in your head for far too long. Phokus is joined on these two destructive tracks by Ruff Sqwad veterans Dirty Danger and Tinchy Stryder who spit the most dangerous rhymes we've heard for a long time. Tinchy's cut 'Dem All Shot' is a neck-grabbing ride into South London's underbelly, with all the attitude you'd expect to come with it. Carried by Phokus' killer icy-cold production, this is a tune guaranteed to tear up dancefloors from Brixton to Berlin and beyond. Flip over for the real sickness though, an anthem to Dirty Danger himself as he asserts to nay-sayers that they shouldn't call him anything but 'Danger' -- as if we'd dare? Destined to be a scene anthem, this rounds up a perfect 12", and one of the heaviest debuts we've heard in years."
