Birmingham-based record label, Chronos Records, are releasing their first compilation featuring four exciting artists: Pseudonym, Arttu, Amernez and Half Cab. Following on from their last release back in July with a two track EP by Amernez, Chronos Records are back to share some of the damage they’ve been cooking up.

In four tracks, although the intensely dark and some-what sinister undertones remain dominant throughout, there are many angles and corners of the drum and bass spectrum that are being explored here. Take Arttu with his track, Shameful Ting, bringing the straight up ragga elements to the table. It's amazing how jungle influences can either provide such a joyful atmosphere or a heavy and rude skanking vibe, here it is the latter. 

​

Whether it’s the enormous rolling basslines from Amernez on Vanguard, or the quicktime, punchy bass stabs of Gangster by Half Cab, each track has their own individually styled factors that amount to the dark and murky atmospheres they all emit. Gangster takes my prize for filthiest track on the project, it is unruly to produce something of that calibre.
