MOTIV VS REHALIBITAION UNITS PATTERNS EP-WHITE TOWER DIGITAL

White Tower returns,today with a blazin EP!
Motiv brings the familiar quality Greek sound while White Tower newcomers Rehalibitaion Units back Motiv up
superbly!I look forward to upcoming releases from them!



1.Motiv,After Your Blue Eyes

Nice crisp and punchy drums with classic breaks accompanying slide into a lush piece of early millennium trance.
If you go back to early 00's John B,this would not sound out of place in one of his epic sets.
Sliding more modern influences into the tune,this is as hard as it is nice,lush and musical.
Beautiful pads and synths do not take away from the growling bass thats underneath!
DJ's do not sleep on this!This needs to be in your sets! - 7/10

2.Rehabilitation Units,Final

Nice mellow intro builds nicely into some rolling DnB beats with the pads swirling and building.
Reminds me of the 80's and some old movie soundtracks,again sounding like that good ol John B style.
This ones not so much for the dancefloor but would be lush on a long car journey or games console session.
Really nice use of arps and synths! - 5/10

3.Rehabilitation Units,Monday Morning

More great Trance & Bass from this EP,this one starts with great synths and keys slowly filtering in a half
tempo drumbeat before dropping a dirty,spitting bassline,then the synths return but at the same time feel the
sub that accompanies it!more filtered drum breaks and spitting bass,
this is a great track that will grow on you the more you hear it! - 7/10

Overall,this EP is pure quality,pushing a sound we don't hear enough of!
This is musical Drum & Bass and if you're a fan of John B or Camo & Krooked I suggest you check this out!
I'm going to give this EP overall - 7/10

[KODE 075] Silent Force - 1993 (Out Now On Kode 5 Recordings)


1/ Silent Force - 1993.
 

Athens based producer Silent Force makes his debut on the infamous Kode 5 Recordings label, and he's not taking any prisoners with this dark amen assault. Taking cue from breakbeat hardcore/jungle tracks from 1993, this single is all out darkcore, tear-out vibes. With a cinematic sweeping string intro and half speed breaks, '1993' shifts up a gear with the introduction of a huge rolling yet expertly chopped-up amen section. Further breakbeat splicing continues further into the track along with well incorporated 'Bride Of Frankenstein' dialogue samples. If you like your hardcore dark and oldskool sounding then '1993' delivers the goods.
 
'1993' by Silent Force is available from the following digital music stores...

Silent Force - Silent Force EP [Limited To 200 Copies Vinyl Out Now!!!]


 
A1 - Tiger Feeling.
AA1 - Afterlife.
AA2 - In The Groove.
 
Brand new oldskool sounding, Jungle/Drum & Bass label Silent Force Recordings from Greece based artist Silent Force steps into the fore with it's first vinyl , 3-track EP. Opening track 'Tiger Feeling' features soothing flute sounds and ferocious breakbeat choppage over a lively, bouncing bassline to create an intensely energetic track. 'Afterlife' follows next with tearing amens and gorgeous harp twangs before a twisting synth stab is introduced. Last but not least, 'In The Groove' rounds up the EP on a soulful groove with stepping breaks, chilled bass throbs and soothing synths.
 
The 'Silent Force EP' on a whole is steeped in classic jungle styling and wouldn't have sounded out of place on classic labels like Reinforced and Whitehouse, or even on more current labels like Scientific Wax and Foundation X. A pure Jungle/Drum & Bass EP where breakbeat manipulation is has been a fore running factor.
 
Mastered by jungle/drum & bass/future jungle legend Bay B Kane, this is an essential release for all vinyl heads and junglists.
 
To order your copy at the UK & Europe price of £9.99 per copy (plus P&P) follow the link below...

[KFA62] Doughboy – Heartbreaker E.P (Executive Edition) [Kniteforce Again - Out Now]


1/ Heartbreaker.
2/ Bass Is Kickin.
3/ Pump It.
4/ Holiday.
5/ Chill (Executive Edition Only).
6/ Hardcore Sirens (Executive Edition Only).
 
 

 
 
Kniteforce Again returns onto the scene once more, this time introducing label newcomer Doughboy's debut release the 'Heartbreaker E.P'. featuring 4 full on, pumping, euphoric, bass driven tracks (6 if you get in early for the Executive Edition release).
From the trance-tinged title track 'Heartbreaker', a pounding piece of upfront hardcore with clever use of vocal edits and it's trap/bassline house influenced companion 'Bass Is Kickin'. It becomes clear that Doughboy has spanned his EP across several genres whilst keeping a similar ecstatic vibe throughout.
'Pump It' adds a touch of modern drum & bass to the mix, whereas the excellent 'Holiday' takes us on a moodier and unexpected hardcore-ragtime romp (trust me on this, it works a treat!). There's piano-infused, acid hardcore on the cards for Executive Edition exclusive track 'Chill' and to round things up Doughboy bookends the EP with some classic, breakbeat happy-hardcore with 'Hardcore Sirens'(just check the oldskool rolling breaks on this one!).

All in all, a future classic 6-track EP packed with energetic dancefloor bangers.

The Doughboy 'Heartbreaker E.P' is available from the Kniteforce Revolution link below...
