RECORDS OF THE WEEK - JULY 7th

I’m obviously very late to the whole dubstep/funky party, but the latest 12” by Untold might just pique my interest in the genre a little further. It is rooted in ‘95 garage, but as Hardwax put it, there is an element of the unique vision of Anthony Shakir buried somewhere in this release. If there’s one criticism of the genre, I think it’s probably that there’s yet to be a record that can define it yet - Burial came close - but with each month the odds are shortening.

I’ve been a little slack on this front recently, so there’s a bumper crop of releases for you to pore over, from Jeff Mills to DMX Krew, Lory D, the latest Minimal Rome, Pepe Bradock, Reggie Dokes, Jared Wilson and I recommend the Bas Ror record when it hits the shelves.
