HiHat, dj sweet6teen, Arno and Revival X are the DJs/promoters behind this aspiring team, repping the 90's UK Rave, being also loyal vinyl lovers and devotees of fierce drumbeats.

New joint by Rory Hoy & RamSkank



We're dealing with a music friendship for almost a decade, that's been incarnated to many quality tracks for us all out there. The UK multi award musician, Rory Hoy collabs again with his good friend, and Breaks/House producer RamSkank and the result is one more fantastic new single release, by the title 'Bring Out The Love'.

An original funky track that's revisited in a contemporary wide disco stage by Rory Hoy, followed by a dark acid clubbish weapon taken from RamSkank's magic touch.
All you have to expect is some Trance style electronic stabs, sweat-soaked female vocal samples and aggressive stabs combining giddily with slamming beats and raw, rave-era bass.

Rory Hoy's version thrillingly re-casts the cut as a steroid-powered disco-house stomper rich in Chic style guitar licks and cut-glass strings, while the Ramskank revision is a thumping, acid-fired slab of mind-mangling peak-time insanity with the weighty bassline known to humankind.”

This EP is a Juno Download exclusive.

Ultra-Sonic & Dream Frequency for the first time in history

 



Two very good pals and absolute legends within the scene, join the forces in order to deliver the most powerful album you've heard in the last couple of years. A concept that it's been tripping inside their minds for almost a decade, is now set to become true. Driven by their passion, big skills, modern techniques and most of all love from and for their fans, Ian Bland and Mallorca Lee or even better Dream Frequency and Ultra-Sonic, are calling you all to enter their Kickstarter campaign in order to make it happen.

"Our intentions were to make a track that sounded exactly like Dream Frequency & Ultra-Sonic would in your head. We had so much fun working in the studio together and loved using recording techniques from back in the day to get the best out our old synths, drum machines and samples. Straight after we wanted to write even more tracks, but we were just too busy touring"

So right after the successful experiment of their collab in 'Take Me Away' (with Sherill Hartill vocals inclusion as well), the big gents of Oldskool have announced a 13-track album to come out in limited hardcopies of CD and Vinyl with various pledge options.
For every fan of them and every '90s raver who's still supporting and breathing the oxygen of Rave.

"Now with your help we can deliver a limited edition, Ultra-Sonic & Dream Frequency album direct to your door, giving Ultra-Frequency the release it truly deserves. You know our love for the scene, our credentials, discography and if you backed either of our previous Kickstarter's you will agree the quality of the final products we delivered, the strength of our music, the time and effort put into every aspect, from its concept to completion, was second to none. We have also learned a great deal from our previous Kickstarters and know how to make this one even better, from the time it all takes, postage, proper packaging, printing, to even sending you a digital copy of the finished album to enjoy while waiting for your limited edition, signed digi-pack CD and Gatefold, double Vinyl to arrive."

Mutants are back! Grab now the new EP by We Rob Rave

 


The teenage mutant ninja..Junglists from Poland are back in town.
We Rob Rave. The infamous badboy duet of PZG & Dubsknit among their profusion of dirty basslines of wizdom, improvise again to showcase some unbounded mutant jungle bits and pieces.
For those who are famished and have a little gap right after the WRR 6 album. For anyone who's still not aware of these Polish nutters. And most of all, for any new producer who has a life-long dream to make tracks like these.

"Welcome to a new electric EP!
Starting out with "Almodovo", footwork influenced dancefloor puncher, hitting hard with classic LFO bassline, you wish you knew We Rob Rave earlier.
Switching in the mood a little, "Surrender" brings more ambiental, more storytelling vibe to the mix. While not the ruffest track on the EP, definitely not the one to dismiss.
After emotional adventures, we go right back to leg-breaking tracks. "Ice groove" kicks off any party that needs fast breaks and classic stabs, even more, classic polish 80s samples.
Finishing off, "Mutations" brings balance to the force with hard hitting 'Think' break and gnarly bass sliding through deep atmospheric melodies.
Mutation started, come with me, come with us."



'Sweat Like You Mean' is the title of their new digital weapon and as you've read above it's the beginning of the mutation. What shall we expect for WRR 7 then??

Rory Hoy & RamSkank EP 2021


The UK mighty nuskool hero and author of the amazing book called 'The Little Big Beat', the man like Rory Hoy, returns with a new digital release collaboration with RamSkank. And to be fair, both of these two producers made an astonishing work in here.
The illustrious 90s powerful house buzz is back!

'Butter' by Rory Hoy is a quirky funky house and full on nostalgia track reviving the warehouse good old days, while RamSkank's takeover reminds a lot of the power of eurotechno vibes (2 Unlimited, Cappella etc.). The third track from this EP comes from RamSkank and his original 'Gonna Let You Go', an early 90s house-y vibe reminisching Nomad style, while Rory's takeover finds him blending a bit of acidity into a speed garage tip. Marvellous!

All in all this one's a great EP, charting at the moment over Junodownload.
A good suggestion for your sets if you're a sophisticated DJ playing out some 4/4 bangers and wanna cause shivers on the current dancefloor resurrection.

SIMI. [Producer Mix] on Solid Sound FM




Kushti brings another great guest on his Solid Sound FM.
This time, get to know the Ravecore don by the name SIMI from Lodz, Poland. A good friend of this Blog, plus a crazy producer and headstrong underground goer!


"He's an ex-folk-dancer, enthusiast of amen breaks, chiptune sounds and cheesy, chipmunk vocals. He's one of founders of Eudetek - freetekno crew from his hometown Lodz, Poland - and member of SKRD!!! crew. His releases are heavily influenced by happy hardcore - piano riffs, rave stabs, amen breaks, you name it. He started DJing over 10 years ago and has been active around Poland and Europe since then. Recently exploring new, slower musical areas. Expect an EP anytime soon."

Right after his debut over Marusha's imprint Club Arrest in the late days of last year, the man like Cabeabel has just exploded a startling brand new album.
The Sweden based producer introduces to us to his remarkable and powerful tracks on a pack entitled 'Neurophonique'. One of those new entries that should be supported by every single Drum & Bass fan.

An album where Opera hugs the Bass,
and Bass absorbs Opera...

A fundraising for Orestiz debut personal Vinyl release




Our good friend and one of the most talented Hardcore Breaks producers, the man like Orestiz is about to launch his personal debut Vinyl EP, thus he decided to launch a small fundraising.

Here what he says about it:

"I'm considering starting my own label and releasing my music on vinyl. If you know me a little bit then you know what my music is. A lot of unfinished tracks lurking, wishing to reach some ears. If you feel you'd enjoy listening and dancing, then i'd appreciate the contribution. Getting started and especially pressing on vinyl can be a considerable cost. This is not kickstarter, you don't get packs or special shiny stuff. You'd just help out and i'd be really glad about it. It's my birthday after all :) And i wanna dance. Take care of yourselves / Orestis"

UK ravemeister and top charter from back in the day, Liquid, return with a brand new studio album. The 4th Liquid album is entitled 'Lethal' and it's released via the legendary Kniteforce Records, following 'Spacemonkey'.
What instantly gains our attention is the versatility of this new album, which seems like a continuation of 'Energy Flows'. Hardcore breaks, dub reggae, crispy breakbeats, dark amen breaks, and many elements of emotional electronic bits - as usual from Liquid. Eventually, a musical ravey emotion is the right Liquid trademark over the years.

This new LP features special guests with the likes of Earl 16, Rachel Wallace, Echo Ranks, Niki Mak and if you grab the bundle there's some exclusive offerings (e.g. a 10" Vinyl with Acen and Ray Keith remixes). Noteworthy to mention that Kniteforce do work hard for a bundle that won't disappoint any Liquid fan!
We're dealing with a top album, either you're into hardcore or jungle or an average electronic music lover. Kniteforce Records tries this transcendance to their Hardcore roots offering a quality album by a top player in the game.

All in all, you can tell that the year 2021 Liquid is..Lethal. Simple as that.
