Juno Download Review

Over the years, we have trusted Badman Studios to continuously unleash an array of fabulous new dubstep talent onto our eardrums. They are back at it again with this fiery new four tracker from Handsome Tiger, who unleashes a system ready collection of stomping sub-heavy beats. We begin with the blissful sub-textures and drum precision of 'Burn Babylon', combining subtle bass curdles with simplistic percussion throughout a wavy sonic journey, followed by the bulbous bass pulses and dubwise chord delays of 'Yardman'. Next, we dive into something a tad more tribal as lively rhythmic switches on 'Tus Suenos' laced together old-school bass manoeuvres give us a lively creation, with 'Jah Mi Seh' providing us with a minimal finale, calming down the outro of a powerful collection of dubstep originals.
