So my label, Nightshifters, has a new release today, it’s by my boy Rampage, and you know I’ve blogged him here a bunch of times. Part of the Ghetto Division crew along side Rob Threezy, Charlie Glitch and MaddJazz, Rampage is out for blood with this second ep: War. Whether he’s taking on dubstep, putting a Bmore update on house, or making a stop at the rave, he’s always bringing new sounds to the party!
The Ep starts with the hybrid title track “War”, a rollercoaster of a tune swerving between rave and moody dubstep but over a skeleton of urban claps and kicks. “Loving You Is Easy” builds on the emerging house-Bmore style Rampage and his crew are known for, while “GTFO” is a stomper with thunderous synths and sampled shouts. “Southside Anthem” brings it all back to the neighborhood with Bmore trumpets and enough bass to shake the L Train.
We got some badass remixes too. The Italian duo Blatta & Inesha turn “War” into a galloping kuduro-fueled, rave-siren wailing beast of a track. While Manchester’s HeavyFeet drop 2 remixes- They add a bit more P.L.U.R to “Loving you…” and then push “War” over the brink with a full-on Drum and Bass remix! Whoa! Didn’t see that coming, eh?

Speaking of Twitter & Nigtshifters, how does one email you directly to get the tracks (you put that offer up on Twitter a few days ago)? Because I’d be well interested, unless it’s the tracks already on the blog, that is…
