Continuing the ever successful New Blood series into the year 2013 and beyond is the next installment of fresh cuts from a whole new generation of Med School undergraduates. Featuring the undiscovered stars of the future, New Blood 013 brings together a collection of sounds from the underground and presents them as a compilation album that will impress drum & bass specialists from across the board. New Blood 013 boasts a diverse tracklisting and although it is predominantly D&B, there are some half-time tracks, dubstep, downtempo and experimental rhythms which makes for an expansive and genre-crossing listen. From the blissed out soundscape and whispering in Unfolding by Etherwood through the glitchy experimentalism of Bakai s Kaikaki by Bakai and the moody murkiness of Plasticity by Minor Rain to the incredible textures of Frozen Sound by Joe Ford, there is plenty to discover across the 14-track album. Featuring some more familiar names such as Anile, TwoThirds and Barefoot, tech-heads Optiv & CZA, the elusive Mr Sizef from St. Petersburg, the ever-promising Etherwood and Joe Ford, there are, as always with a New Blood album, a host of lesser known artists who are names to watch for the future.
