Nurve’s short detour has proven fruitful as he comes back right with two serious drum & bass cuts. Jumping straight in with the high energy levels is ‘Mic Drop’ featuring a rugged vocal from the legendary MC GQ. A clash of amens rain down with sharp bass hits and expertly worked filters and tones – wrapped perfectly together to ensure maximum effect on the biggest sound systems. On the flip side is the gnarly ‘Apocalypse’. Filthy bass tones are strung out, twisted and rinsed with rolling drum works akin to the Digital & Spirit sound. Both tracks highlight Nurve’s love for the whole spectrum of drum & bass, and his ability as a producer to be diverse whilst creating music for the heads. ‘Mic Drop’ and ‘Apocalypse’ sit perfectly within the catalogue of Backlash – proving that the imprint is returning for good, and doing so with the full power of their expertly trained signees.
