Bluetoof

By now everyone knows Time Is Now is a sure bet when it comes to the freshest new garage, breakbeat and all-round smart, headsy party gear, and so we pay attention when a fresh name crops up. Bluetoof has been spotted here and there, on a split 12" with Soundboy Cookie and on an Accidental Meetings compilation, but this marks one of their biggest releases to date, which kicks off in style with the big, booming and spacious roller 'Alakazam'. 'Perilous' takes things into gnarly, darkside 2-step, while 'That Got Dark' goes to town on the cool and deadly breakbeats. Interplanetary Criminal steps up with a hollering remix of 'That Got Dark' that opts for bashy 4x4 as the rhythm of choice, and makes an absolute monster in the process.
