Review: Yatut's Vahue EP on Minor Notes Recordings is a nostalgic journey through early 90s techno and breakbeats, capturing the essence of a vibrant era. Side-1 opens with 'Vitamin,' delivering a classic UK techno sound that transports listeners back to the golden age of rave culture. Its pulsating beats and retro vibes set the tone perfectly. Following this, 'Learn The Code' continues the homage with melodic techno reminiscent of early 90s UK scenes, blending harmonious layers with driving rhythms. Side-2 begins with 'Natural,' a standout track that fuses early 80s electro rhythms with rave elements. This unusual combination works remarkably well, creating a unique and engaging soundscape. The EP closes with 'Yokamon,' an uptempo house track interwoven with breakbeats. Its sweeping, breezy melody makes it a perfect end-of-the-night anthem, leaving listeners on a high note. Vahue EP showcases Yatut's skill in blending nostalgic influences with modern production, making this a gem for fans of classic techno and breakbeats.

Review: Garage powerhouse Zed Bias is back with more old school garage brilliance with the new single 'Shell Them Again' featuring the vocals of Yung Saber and Brakeman. The original has plenty of retro signifiers from the low-end wobble to the withering synth effects, plus crisp hits and jostling drums. After the dub mix comes a remix from Zed himself alongside Safire which is much more dirty and raw. The beats are broken up so the track takes on a dubstep quality as the low-end oscillations bring the weight and drums hit with more force. Finally, the acappella closes out this fresh 12" on IFG.
