Compilation Spotlight: Talents LP Vol. 1

I'm not entirely sure how to introduce the Talents LP Vol. 1. On a factual level, it's true the compilation is made up of 10 neurofunk drum & bass tracks from up-and-coming neurofunk producers, presented jointly by major neurofunk label Ammunition Recordings and major neurofunk YouTube promotion channel NeurofunkGrid. And, to be fair, I could just leave it at that, but that doesn't encompass the whole scope of a fantastic neurofunk compilation such as this one - it's more than just another 10 tracks of techy, spastic drums and the same damn modulated synth line every time. On a more opinionated front, I could also say it's one of the best releases in the genre in a while. Which is true - sure, none of the producers quite have the skill or experience of the absolute legends like Noisia or Ed Rush & Optical, but all ten tracks here are quite impressive. They're at least forward thinking, not falling into over-trodden territory like a lot of recent neurofunk has.
