1/ Obey.
2/ Soundscape Style.
3/ Stalker.
4/ The Calling.
Ruff Guidance Recordings present yet another fine selection of breaks and bass showcasing the deeper side of jungle and drum & bass, with the release 'Pressure EP' from the ever versatile Indigo Virus.
We are first introduced to the tense atmospherics of 'Obey', a track which builds up an ominous sound pallet with it's use of sweeping, cinematic textures and dissonant sounds, paired with stepping breaks and moody bass pulses.
'Soundscape Style' up next reels the listener in with it's stripped back, retro-junglistic intro, leading you to expect some dark, screwface sound business, before delivering an absolutely gorgeous, pad driven drop that's pure ambrosia for the soul.
The aptly titled 'Stalker' takes us down a darker path with it's use of noirish Rhodes keys set to a "live" percussive drum pattern, further accentuated by skittering piano notes that conjure up visions of hundreds of spiders crawling down your spine.
Reaching the EP's adrenalising conclusion, 'The Calling' first immerses us in it's haunting reverb soaked pad and and cavernous bassline driven intro, before unleashing some serious amen break choppage into the mix to get the heart pumping.
With his latest musical anthology, Indigo Virus easily dispels any accusation that electronic music lacks soul. If you love your jungle / D&B with a deep and ethereal aesthetic then don't let this one pass you buy.
The Indigo Virus 'Pressure EP' album is available to purchase now, exclusively from the official Ruff Guidance Records' Bandcamp store in any digital format for £4 (or more if you wish to support the label and artists to fund future projects!!!).
