Various - Keep Everyone Afraid EP

Review by Ahmad Nasir

Keep Everyone Afraid EP: A Drum n Bass Gem from 2008 Alright, let’s talk about Keep Everyone Afraid EP by Various. This little slice of electronic goodness dropped in 2008 under the UK label Temper D Productions. If you’re into Drum n Bass, this one might already be on your radar—but if it’s not, buckle up, because I’m about to drop some thoughts that’ll make you hit play. First off, the title track, “Keep Everyone Afraid,” is an absolute banger. It’s got that gritty, edgy vibe that makes Drum n Bass so addictive. The beat switches keep you guessing, and there’s this haunting synth line that sneaks in halfway through—it’s the kind of thing you don’t expect but instantly love. Honestly, this track feels like running through a dark alley at night: thrilling, kinda scary, but impossible to stop. I remember it because it’s one of those tunes that just sticks to your brain like gum on a shoe. You’ll catch yourself humming it hours later, even if you didn’t mean to. Then there’s “Patient River.” This one’s a bit more chill compared to the chaos of the title track, but don’t mistake “chill” for boring. It’s got this slow-building tension that feels like waiting for a storm to hit. The bassline is deep enough to rattle your chest, and the atmospheric layers give it this cinematic vibe. Like, if someone made a movie about wandering through a post-apocalyptic city, this would be the soundtrack. I can’t forget this track because it’s one of those rare songs that makes you stop what you’re doing and just listen. No distractions—it demands your attention. The other two tracks, “Save Me” and “Human Sacrifice,” are solid too, but they didn’t grab me as hard as the first two. That’s not a knock against them; it’s just that “Keep Everyone Afraid” and “Patient River” are straight-up unforgettable. Looking back, this EP feels like a time capsule of late-2000s UK Drum n Bass. It’s raw, unpolished, and full of personality—basically everything you want from this genre. What’s wild is how music like this still slaps today. Like, sure, production tech has gotten better, but there’s something about the energy here that modern tracks sometimes lack. Oh, and random thought: if this EP were a person, it’d probably be that mysterious friend who shows up to parties with crazy stories and leaves before anyone can ask too many questions. You know the type. Anyway, do yourself a favor and check out Keep Everyone Afraid EP. It’s short, sharp, and totally worth your time.
