I've had this EP on my hard drive for nine months, but only today I managed to sit down and give it a spin. Zheng is the alias of UK-based musician Jamie Walker, described by the label (Curses' Ombra Intl) as "dungeon-acid grunge punk artist". But this description may fool you a bit, because "Zero Time" is a curious mix of dubby trip-hop and industrial punk (in the vein of Nexus_0). Its dark and brooding basslines will get you nodding along.

New batch of club gems from the ever-amazing Ombra International crew. "Love Never Dies" brings together Rotciv, Facets (ft. Alpha & Necromante), Stockholm Syndrome and Astroloop, all delivering vastly different yet so similar tracks that will please anyone who's into new beat, ebm or dark wave. All hits, no fillers.

New 5-way split from Ombra International, featuring some serious gems from Shubostar, Unconscious, Astroloop, Sugar Rody and Aural Trace. New beat, new disco, new italo, all new and punchy with a synthwave gloss. Sugar Rody's track here is my personal winner, fantastic jam.

Four new bangers from Ombra International. Taking a break from their awesome series D'Oro Unlmtd, Ombra is back with their "regular" compilation of mutant new beat hits. Volume 23, entitled "Passion Incarnate", features singles from Rotciv, Agle, John Parsley and a collab track between Jorkes and Nikkname.
