RamSkank Records deliver the new Big Beat raveolution

 



We're inclined to reveal that this must be the best release so far from the RamSkank Records.

SIR-VERE - Party Time EP - Remixed by Rory Hoy
In a few words, you know the drill. Milton Keynes based electronic punk band,
SIR-VERE, make their debut release on RamSkank Records with the kind contribution of the well-known Big Beat prince, Rory Hoy. It's basically the one out of many future releases coming off this mighty label. It's already announced that there's one more EP and an album in the works from the boys.
In regards with this fresh digital weapon, Rory takes over couple of the original
SIR-VERE tracks off their 'This is my Life' , 'Psycho Ballistic Funk' & 'Singulus' albums. This release has been all around for 3 years and finally sees the light offering tough and intensive beats covering fair enough the style of SIR-VERE. Fusing all things around nu-rave, breakbeat and funk housey vibes on a top level, Rory Hoy seems the most appropriate producer to accomplish a mission like this one.

"The EP creates a feel for the fun party time vibes Rory brings to every event he plays which instantly helps create a dancefloor feeling, coupled with the stylistic vocals and sounds from SIR-VERE this adds a whole new dimension to the party that is sure to get everybody up and dancing and having a great time!"
The EP is out now exclusively via Junodownload and it's totally recommended to everyone out there. In the end, it's the no.5 on 'Best Selling' Breakbeat Charts of Juno, so that says it all.

Kniteforce Prime goes back to square one

 


If we see what's happening the last couple of years in the evolution of the underground rave music, the result indicates a fusion of tracks of 120-140 bpm range, bass & breaks, hoovers and oldskool pianos. Advocates would claim that we're living in a contemporary '91. Life is a circle, so it's with music. With all things considered, the legendary Kniteforce Records have set up a brand new sub-label called... Kniteforce Prime.


The word 'prime' stands for 'original' or 'first' as the KF header, Chris Luna-C, has stated on one of his recent blogs. It's the new hub that will embrace the sounds of the early 90s kind of bleepy techno as well as the slower piano and breakbeat vibes. Also, it's the indispensable sound that inspired a lot Luna-C to set up his Industries of Blend moniker and an era that he's very familiar with from back in the day.

 

The label aims to follow the ethos to represent the early rave sound and cause a wordlwide massive '91 interest to the fans out there. There are amazing forthcoming releases with acts such as Children Of The Sun God, Liquid, Sunshine Productions, Rise Of Empires, Alias 303 and many others. However, the priming 'Prime' release has just unveiled with a very well-known UK act, a great talent. Innercore, is more than proud to debut these 'Prime' releases with his personal 'Alpha Junk EP' drive full of synths, breaks, pianos, hoovers...
"The ethos of KF Prime is something that is going to be so good for this scene. Like Chris has mentioned before, there is alot of (New)Old Skool being made which focuses more on the faster up-tempo side of things. KF Prime is all about stripping things back to basics, slowing down the tempo, and really experimenting with original synths and sounds. And giving a nod to the producers of yesteryear that started this amazing music for us back in the late 80's / 90's (to many to list here!). Back in the early 90's I started listening to rave music, however I was just a bit too young to actually go to the raves. I always thought it will be too late by the time I'm actually old enough and writing music (which at the time seemed an impossible task), so I can't say how exciting it is to be actually putting this music out for the next generation. I also think the KF Prime sound will blend in perfectly with the older rave tunes, so they will be a good DJ tool and 100% get the plays they deserve. And I have to quote this which I heard MC Robbie Dee say on a rave mix from the 90's - "and they said hardcore, would die.....hardcore will never die" - Innercore

Apparently, Matt from Innercore doesn't lose his Hardcore substance at all, on his new work. 'Alpha Junk EP' is simply monstrous and you could easily tell that it could be placed somewhere in a 1991 capsule and flourished to something bigger. From the self-titled track that's filled up with prodigized energy to the big piano of 'Back 2 Da Top', and the euro-friendly 'Hard Wired', which is a proper Oldskool Techno track and the closing 'Music From Within' with its big hands-in-the-air pianos and acid lines.
"I can remember sending this EP (or the first couple of tunes anyway) like it was yesterday. I was on a caravan holiday in 2020 with my Wife and child in Devon somewhere during the coronavirus lockdown. One evening I was sat in the club house (at social distances!) and Chris popped up in my Facebook messages, saying "these tunes are exceptional, and I'm starting a 'slower' label"....anb that was that really, I'd locked in the first release of Kniteforce Prime aka KFPrime. It is such a huge honor to be the first release of this label and kicking it off, and I know Chris already has a back log of tunes in these styles for the label." recalls Matt, as he has already submitted his next Prime EP sharing his excitement for this type of sound.


"Chris will message me sometimes asking, "can you do a KFPrime style remix of this" and I instantly know what he is looking for. Keep an eye on this label, and get your ears ready for some amazing tunes!" - Innercore

Order now the new 12" Vinyl EP of Aeon Four


The boys are back, putting hairs on the chest with an outstanding new material.
It's all about Aeon Four. Based in Turku of Finland, Matti and Heikki Sato-Hunsala is a duet mostly known off their release through Straight Up Breakbeat, the oldest Drum & Bass Finnish label. On a recent note, the mighty and very talented brothers from Finland have sealed the deal with Silent Force Recordings and their new 12" Vinyl record is about to land very soon...

"We heard about Silent Force via their releases with Redshift & Problem Child and also Acid Lab a while ago. We liked the label's approach to combine classic jungle sounds with modern techniques. That's what we were about too. We sent a demo to Mark (who runs Silent Force and Sonic Force) and he liked our sound. That's where the 'Soul Promise EP' developed" - Heikki 
Sato-Hunsala.

'The Soul Promise EP' comes out on a limited edition o 200 copies only and it's available to pre-order now. All in all, this one's strictly for the fans of atmospheric amen breaks, fans of the golden days of Reinforced and Moving Shadow. A top notch work of soulful (mostly) Drum & Bass and Jungle piece of sound. "We were very much inspired by Japanese enviromental music and also 90s ambient and electronic such as Future Sound Of London and Aphex Twin during the making of this EP. We also wanted to go vibe first and keep the music as soulful as possible. To create a somehow dreamy atmosphere withour forgetting the Hardcore junglism" recalls Heikki about the duet's inspiration of this new work.
Not to be miss this one out. You won't regret it cos it's soul-promised by the boys.

Vibena returns to Endor Recordings

 


The son of 'Positive Energy' is finally back to a well-known place.
Much to our amazement the man like Vibena (a.k.a. Tim Cant) returns to Endor Recordings with brand new material and his well known stompy happiness.
Not just a regular producer but more than meets the eye, Vibena is a music tech persona covering also bits and pieces as a journalist. A hard working legend that's been one of Dave Skywalker's favorite producers; hence this great deal.

'Euphoric Rush' is the title of his brand new 6-track digital EP coming through Endor Recordings Bandcamp page.

"You may remember him from way back in the early days of Endor, or perhaps if you're old enough from the 90's happy hardcore scene thanks to his incredible "Positive Energy" releases on Universal, but here the spirit of '90s happy hardcore comes raring back with six amazing hardcore tracks!

Whether it's hands in the air happy hardcore, the darker stuff, or a foray into bouncy techno, you'll have something you love here. And not only that, stay tuned for the VIBENA RAVEHEART EP coming next!

We're stoked that we can offer Bandcamp releases again directly to the fans, thanks as always for your support. Keep it hardcore!"

Check out now DJ Nee's Bandcamp page




A message from the almighty DJ Nee, who has set up a Bandcamp page where you can find a great amount of Hardcore Breaks treasure of his own arsenal of tracks. Plus his massive collabs with Stu in Stu & Nee project.

"I've been getting asked a lot lately if any of the DJ Nee / Stu & Nee tunes are available anywhere digitally. Me and Stu have been talking about this for absolutely ages so i decided to put something together on Bandcamp. I think pretty much all of the released stuff i've played a part in is already uploaded, plus i've been finishing off a heap of unreleased bits that have sat on my hard drives for ages that are either already up there or will be up there soon. There's a few freebies already there, and a lot more to be added...mainly the remixes of oldskool artists tunes.
Anyway, if there's anyone after HQ downloads head over to https://deejaynee.bandcamp.com/ "
