BLACK BARREL レコード& CD

Review: Russian polymath Black Barrel continues his incredible vein of form with this stunning (and highly limited) Dispatch Dubplate edition. Flexing his full range and style, each cut tickles a different corner of the dancefloor. Highlights range from the uncompromising drum thunder on 'Mental Kiss' and the sensual, heartfelt sounds of 'Orgasm' by way of the purring, subdued soul of 'Exactly This' and the powerful finale cut 'Ocean'. Time to take a deep dive!

Review: Zero T, DLR and Black Barrel all together on a super limited dubplate run from Dispatch. We don't really need to say much more about the high levels right here do we? Zero T's 'Sonic Bionic' gets the VIP boost it's always deserved while DLR tears up Black Barrel's 'Fabric' and tailors us a whole new suit. Meanwhile on the flip we're treated to some Irish/Russian fusion as 'Deep Inside' takes us to some woozy places before another VIP finishes the set and 'Fabric' gets another twist from the gun-toting, leopard-loving Black Barrel himself. What a crucial 12"!
