Label: XSSR Music
Release: Aug' 10

XSSR Music proudly present their 15th release, a stomping original track from Andrey Mute who is quickly coming to prominence with his recent string of excellent releases backed up with superb remixes from heavyweights Mars & Karton.

The original track is a rocky, driving number that mixes storming guitars and bass with powerful beats and twisted synths to create a peaktime monster. A heavily effected vocal leads us into the track with those stomping guitars coming into play as soon as the track drops for the 1st time. A short 2nd break builds things up even further with a swirling, powerful synth overlaying a relentless drum roll before the lead slams back in. As the track continues to evolve a bubbly, bouncy lead plays off the main riffs carrying us through before the guitars and bass come back in an even heavier fashion than before. Andrey Mute is already one to watch and this track cements his place as an up and coming name that can produce diverse beats which always sound fresh and original.

Karton use the bubbling lead from the original to great effect in the intro alongside the guitars from the original and some lush, evolving pads. The main bass slams in as the track drops for the 1st time and is guaranteed to have everyone jumping around with it's filthy, typically Karton power and poise. The vocal is cut up and glitched out to super effect as some almost oldskool stabs take the stakes even higher. The 2nd breakdown is a proper hands in the air, musical and epic affair with a superb rise building things up before the bass slams back in with even more components weaved around it. The vocal features heavily once again and has been used to superb effect once again as Karton remind us why they are widely considered to be on of the best new acts in the Breaks scene today.

Mars has brings his talents to this excellent package with the third and final remix here. A relaxed and stripped back intro does little to prepare the listener for the assault that is coming as the initially calm beat turns into a skippy, broken beat that is packed full of energy and intent. The bass here is some of the best we've heard from Mars and twists and turns brilliantly around the vocals and other snippets from the original. As we come into the 2nd break a dubtep esque breakdown sees the already manic bass wobble and work it's way to even great heights before a short build takes us back into the heart of the track. Those wobbles and wicked drums take us to an even higher place now as snippets of the vocal fly around the listener. As the track nears it's end an eery, massive synth slowly takes over from the bass and drives the track to it's conclusion.

XSSR Music remain Russia's hottest export when it comes to Breaks releases and this release is sure to help them continue that record. With 3 of the best included there's sure to be something for every discerning music lover here with all the artists involved showcasing some of their best work to date.
