A1. Etch – Scattah A2. Walton – Homage B1. Visionist – From A Place B2. Fresh Paul – Sunblazed Building from the impact of their debut compilation "This is how we roll," Keysound Recordings proudly present the second volume of their 12" series "Keysound Allstars Volume 2." Following on from where the compilation left off, the EP presents four fresh tracks from this emerging collection of new producers. Leading off the EP is the first release on Keysound from Etch. Pitched somewhere between garage and dubstep, "Scatta" draws from the elastic b-lines of mid 90s jump up jungle, littered with touches of Metalheadz' noir city-soundscapes. It looks backwards to go forward. Like - but distinct from - Wen, Visionist and Beneath on Keysound before him, Etch has seemingly found a new dark flex to explore. Equally looking one way to go another is Walton's "Homage," except this time the Hyperdub protege has found deadly deep subs in a different context: the skippy swung funk of 2step garage - with a deft nod to hardcore. After his contributions to "This is how we roll", Visionist returns to Keysound with perhaps his most developed creation, "From a Place." Like much of his work, "From a…" rethinks grime from an increasingly abstracted position, blending noir textures with threatening vocal missives, only to litter it with traces of bitter-sweet melodies. The inclusion of a Visionist track on Kode9's forthcoming Rinse FM mix CD suggests he's moving in the right direction. Finally the 12" is concluded by a longtime Keysound fave, "Sunblazed" by Fresh Paul. Alongside track "Blaster" on "This is how we roll," Fresh Paul shows a completely different take on grime to say, Visionist or Wen. Characterised by neon, synth-lead colour and ripples of emotional waves, Fresh Paul's sound hints at the bright future that awaits him.
