Axle

Axle pairs “Snooker Effect” with “Last Orders” on PIVOT002, dated 28 September. The Bristol producer’s page spans dubstep, garage, grime, breaks and techno, making this two-tracker a natural stop for the bass-music side of our weekly listening. Start with the supplied A-side, then give its partner a turn.

Axle returns with a rhythm-heavy Bristol bass cut shaped by breaks, garage and dubstep pressure. Tight drums and restless movement keep it locked to the dancefloor.
