Calibre is a name known to all in Drum & Bass as one of the pinnacles of the genre. It's impossible to venture into a club and not here one of his seminal tracks being played, and with this latest addition to his Innerground repertoire the good times are still coming. Kicking things off with "Typical Things", we go back in time to the iconic sounds of the Musique Concrete album. The track switched quickly after opening with a drizzle of cascading keys and minimal percussion before launching headfirst into a pulsating and invigorating basslines and breaks. "Simple Sa" is more deliberate in its advances and spares no time in getting to the heart of the matter after some truly deft piano work and vocal sample layering. "Simple Sa" is almost tailor-made for a DJ Marky set as it ebbs and flows with an undeniable funk and deep vibe throughout. Calibre's attention to his craft is what makes him one of the most sought after producers on the planet, and "Typical Things / Simple Sa" is a testament to his enduring abilities. Smooth, sultry and truly of the highest Calibre.
