SCOTTISH BASS SVBCVLT ZINE

Paul Reset and Pyro ran the show with their infamous Nerve Recordings label in the early 2000s and although they both had releases on the label, they also joined their formidable DNB forces on a number of collaborations for other imprints. As these were only ever pressed on vinyl if you wanted to play them out it would mean pricey digging on discogs, and maybe finding the odd dusty footprint on the grooves or a skip in the intro just before the first break... But, fret not, a

Knowing that Hex's latest offering was written in the heady days of summer lockdowns last year, I'm wondering if he found the heatwave over in Glasgow too hot for DNB tempo as he drops 6 halftime slices on the aptly titled "Half Cut EP" on the FreeLoveDigi Label...

Fuck... It's hard to put into words the impact Paul Reset has had on the Scottish and International DNB and breaks scenes; from his own production work; his hugely influential label Nerve recordings and Nerve Breaks; to the seminal Glasgow night LiveVevil he co-ran with Morphy (which was coincidentally my own first outing to a DNB night back at the turn of the millennium - changed my life!); and his work as part of the Phuturelabs blog/label it could be fittingly said that he
