  • Blocks & Escher are two of the most underrated artists in drum & bass. With their Narratives Music label, they've developed a sweeping, cinematic style that makes their vintage synths sound futuristic. (Their 2018 album for Metalheadz last year is one of the genre's best recent records.) More than a year later, they return to Narratives with a track that highlights everything they do right. On "From The Ashes," they set the mood with synths, woodwinds and a sense of space before the drums arrive. And when they do, they're not the main attraction. In fact, there's an even better beatless breakdown around the corner, which is when the duo really sound beautiful. It shows Blocks & Escher are still growing the gorgeous world they've spent years building from the ground up.
