Proving yet again that Program pedestals versatility and musicianship, the
imprint returns with another record which shows it’s here to stay.
Featuring the renowned tastemaker Crissy Criss, who has premiered some
of the bigger drum & bass anthems across the radio airwaves, as well as
budding newcomer Malux and Brighton Maestro Erb & Dub, these fresh
cuts feature three artists that demonstrate a winning combination.
Up first is the dirtier dancefloor slayer ‘Blizzard’. Epitomising the darker
sounds these three bring together, it’s a techy slice of distorted bassline
and snappy stabs which roll you deeper into its directly thick
composition. Peddled on kick drum with tinny percussion filtering
through the mix, prepare yourself to be drawn into the murkier depths of
dancefloor’s globally. Switching up midway, the trio take you to a depth
they master ingeniously.
You’re then introduced to the brooding, rolling number ‘Wonky’.
Described perfectly within its own name, this lumbering yet dynamic track
provides a switch up in any set. Setting out on a funky undercurrent, its
falling arpeggios and bouncing subs take you across a production line of
carefully crafted beats. Fiercely different from its predecessor, you’re
provided with a glimpse of the producers’ capabilities. A set of skills sure
to see them appear on your playlists this summer.
So once again, it’s time to get with the Program… a label front lining the
genre’s shadier side.
