Another new week marks another new entrant in the Cargo Hall of Flame, this time in the shape of the mighty Roska Kicks And Snares label, helmed by near-legendary Rinse FM DJ and production-don Roska (Rinse, Tectonic, Hotflush, numbers etc). Delivering a tidy vinyl-only third installment of the Roska Allstars EP series to showcase selected stormers from the label’s recent download offerings, ‘RKS Allstars Volume 3’ brings on more vital sounds and flavoursome movements from three stalwarts of the funky-grime-bass-garage-house-polyscene currently conquering tasteful UK floors and speakers. Holding down the A-side is 'Selecta' by the prodigiously-talented Champion, peppered with bad boy vocals and rude wheelbacks that serve the dancefloor vibe generously. Champion's masterful use of bass is to the fore, serving as sturdy groundwork for a tune whose main hook switches from low rumbles to higher-pitched shakes to keep heads nodding and feet moving. On the flip, MA1's 'Bassbox' continues the ecstatic vibe with an increasingly hyperactive and modulating synth which swaps and chops throughout the track to dizzying degrees, whilst the bass and drum claps keep it masterfully steady. Finally, funky hardleader DJ Naughty applies the polish on 'Unstoppable', an equally rude workout. Starting off with vibes galore in the form of a crucial drum pattern which urges movement from the get up and go, the cut’s progression continues a-pace with added dramatic melodic intervals and a lightheaded and ecstatic top-end tone which gradually moves on to darker territory as the track develops. All three contributions represent the many sides to the label and cap a crucial hat-trick of unsurpassable rhythms coming from Roska Kicks And Snares right about now.
