I'd heard stuff by Kid Lib before and there was no doubting what a talent he is, this most recent LP is by far the best I have heard from him and when I say it's the best, I mean this really is good. I dropped a few tunes from the above album on my most recent radio show and the listeners in the chat were loving it!!!! Dark twisted sounds collide with some incredible beat manipulation, you must hear this. If, like me, you are a bit of a jungle purist at heart and felt that the genre was at it's finest way back in 1994 when producers were chopping the amen break to pieces and rearranging it in all kinds of ways, then this is for you and at £5, its a bargain, take a listen for yourselves below, junglists get ready, have your lighters at hand because this will make you brock out!!!!
Anything about the hardcore present in an oldskool mode.. Njoy my latest glowmix (celebrating 300 followers on my Soundcloud page) including hardcore/rave breaks/breakbeat hardcore and few dark riffs, nu-rave/nuskool mix with some of the most talented names of the scene!
Tracklist: STRANGER ROLLERS - Bring Me A Fat 9ty One DJ GOMY & DJ COTY - Kickin' In The Beat UNISON - In Hell Breakbeat As Well DJ WISLOV - Criminal Beat HYPER MOTION - I Miss You DJ SEDUCTION - On My Own (BFresh & DJ Slim remix) OSCAR TG - Twisted by Nature (Champion Breaks remix) ALEXBREAKO - Duck & Jelly MOBY - Go (Nicky Allen remix) DJ FLOW - Oldz Kool CZECH 1_2 - I'm Chucky And I'm Fucking Infamous DJ NEXUS - Weba's Wax DJ MARK C - In 2 The Groove DJ PURSUIT - Mind Controller VOCATION - Equilibrium (RyKennon 2012 remix) LANKYMAN - Epicness (rave edit) PAUL CRONIN - Raver Come Alive

TRACKLIST:
AVRO ft. DEBBIE SHARP - I Can Live Without You (DJ Twista Something Good remix)
GIZMO - Night Drive (Nefti 2013 Hardcore Breaks remix)
- Hello Timo! First of all I'd like to introduce yourself to Strictly NuSkool Blog fans, and tell me few things about you and your project, when did you first start making music and what inspired you to catch up with it I first started messing around with music in 1990 with an Amiga 500, it was such a rush to hear breakbeats, bass, pads and pianos coming out of an Amiga 500, from there i moved onto the Amiga 1200 and created in OctaMED until 2002 when i moved onto a Mac. I would have continued with the Amiga but i found Renoise for the Mac, which is very similar to OctaMED. It was nice to have the 16 bit sound and more than 4 channels. Mainly i was writing hardcore, happy hardcore and downtempo breaks, when hardcore went away and it was only happy hardcore I countinued to create tracks with the oldskool sound and when i found out about the hardcore breaks scene I jumped onto the bandwagon in 2006. It was around this time that I had to moved to Japan and it became harder to follow the scene in the UK. - Checking your Soundcloud page & your website, can someone see a variety of genres on your productions, such as future jungle, hardcore breaks, oldskool hardcore. Tell me few things about your productions and which genre is your fav one I like to experiment with different styles, back when i was doing my production on the Amiga I did house, garage, drum & bass, jungle, hardcore, happy hardcore and downtempo. When I moved onto the Mac I steered more towards the hardcore breaks sound and drum & bass, however over the last few years I have been doing some 80s style tracks. I would have to say that the oldskool hardcore sound is my favourite but it changes depending on my mood. - Let's play a game now..Oldskool VS Nuskool anthems.. Choose please, 5 of your essential gems and 5 nuskool gems that you like mostly 1. Neuromancer - Pennywise (This tune has to be the ultimate oldskool tune!) 2. Fat Controller - In Complete Darkness 3. DJ Vibes - Sing It Loud 4. DJ Red Alert and Mike Slammer - Slammer 5. DJ Red Alert and Mike Slammer - F*cking Hardcore (The slammer boys are the definition of what oldskool hardcore is) --- 1. Amiga Junglism - DreamBench WIP 2. Sike - Bongo Bongo 3. Anything on the Paranoid Recordings label 4. Luna-C - piano progression remix 5. SL2 - On a Ragga Trip (SL2 & Modified Motion Remix) - Best rave memory that you will never forget? Hmm there are many that I am sure were good nights but I can't remember, probably the best that stands out was the Dream All Nighter events, but I can't remember where it was lol - Few things that you want to say about your Guest Mix on Strictly NuSkool Blog Please excuse the quality of the mix, it has been a while since I have been on the decks but these are just a few of the tracks that i liked to rave out to in the day - Is there anyone you want to thank, send your greetings, or mention anything else extra? Yes I just want to give a massive shout out to Renegade Genious over at Paranoid Recordings, Amiga Junglism, Tari Ziyad at NuRave, Glowkid, Nicky Allen, Leonized, Paul Cronin, Exit Point and finaly my wife and family, sorry to the people that I did not mention.

Too many good tunes & releases are about to come out in the near future from class nuskool labels and acts... Let's focus on rave/hardcore breaks genre... Starting withGood Times Recordingsnew signing from USA, Beat Squad, who's about to release a 4 track EP, called "Beats a Treat EP" (release date TBA) " Free Your Soul " looks like the top hit of this hardcore breaks release with an epic piano break!
KODE 5 Recordings didnt miss the opportunity and signedAlexBreako from Greece and his sweet emotional breaks tune "Deep Love pt2 " and as my bro Tariq says by listening to it "..the first drop at 2'40'' is phenomenal, a classic Basement Records sound, the pads-the melody towards the end are sublime.." (release date TBA)
dj fLow is one of my top producers on this scene and every single tune of his work, shows you his complete talent! Rave Stylee knows this one very well, so they are about to release an EP later this year.. "Energize " is an ultimate rave anthem from this forthcoming release, with full of energy and Flow's known 'recipe' !
Never too late to blog a class release like this one by Whistla, been out during this summer from L2S Recordings.. It's his second L2S release following a future garage EP, and is totally dedicated to oldskool rhythms!
Whistla has gathered few of his unreleased productions in 90s with a variety of genres such as jungle/breakbeat/oldskool rave/drum & bass & hardcore sense and made this 15track album.
It's an album for oldskool heads & the nuskool blood, totally worth to be placed on your collection!
Kode 5 are leading
the way for NuSkool darkcore bangers right now and they have unleashed a beast
of a tune here, Alton X-‘Choices’ samples my favourite horror franchise and
moulds it around all kinds of twisted mentasm nastiness replete with skull crushing
amen breaks in true 93 style, we find your lack of bass disturbing, we suggest
that you invest your money into this utter filth and shun feebleness, embrace
the darkside, get on this!!!!!
Pinky & The Brain (a.k.a Andy Wilson and Tom Parr) bring you the sound of classic piano rave/hardcore breaks!
Following the success they had on their first release on GTR, "Thinkin' About You", this nu-rave duet, is serving you now 4 massive fresh 140bpm rave/hardcore breaks tunes on "When Mice Ruled The World", which is out now from Good Times Recordings.
Starting with "Acid" , a 303 soaked Skippy funky rave breaks tune with soaring pianos, which took quickly NO.6 in the first days of the release, and it's now raised to NO.2 from yesterday on the Top100 Breaks Charts on TrackItDown.
Then you may enjoy a melodic house feeling tune "Before Tomorrow", a sweet melancholy of "Missing You" and closing up with a sweet piano anthem like "Old Memories".
For those who do not know, Good Times Recordings is a master label on this 140 rave/hardcore/piano breaks sound and its very important if you respect your nu-rave ears, to follow directly this label & its stuff!
Friday the 13th today.. but no need to get anxious with it cos we have a great announcement on the surface by Manix. The mighty Mark Clair from 4Hero is back to our minds, our hearts and our feet again with a release "return to Hardcore/Jungle Rave roots"
Reinforced Records presents Manix new stuff on Living in The Past release keeping the 90s oldskool pianos, breaks and big basslines!
You can pre-order the Living In The Past and download 2 tracks in format of mp3/flac or others..
The releases will be out on 14th October and make sure you will grab it, so save the date!
Here's a lost gem by Sanxion under his Sparky alias, can you believe this was made in 1998? a distinctly old skool sounding tune even for that time period with an instantly catchy vocal from a well known house tune, anyway, if you didn't have this and we doubt you did, grab it now!!! Its free and its a b b b BANGER!!!!!

Pursuit goes in raw with this 95 style hardcore beast of a tune!!!!!!! As always, his drum edits are superb, the subs are low and heavy and at 170BPM, this is one who likes their hardcore on the tougher side, no cheese here, just tough, speaker crunching pads and hip hop vox to get you bouncing around like a rabbit with a rocket up its rectum!!!!! All this and its frrreeeeeeee!!!!! You know what to do!!!!!!!!!
Paul Cronin is back with a fresh EP of his quality NuSkool bangers, he goes in hard with the opening title track, a tough hip hop influenced breakbeat hardcore banger, next up is my pick of this great EP and quite a few others are feeling this one too, ‘I Get Hype’ wraps the well known vocal sample from ACEN’s ‘Trip II The Moon’ into a banging NuSkool/140 roller. Paul gets a bit classical with the lively ‘4 Seasons’ giving Vivaldi a hardcore reboot!!!!!!!!! ‘Y’All In The House (Say Yeah) is a rushy, uplifting number with awesome trance like pads and a drop that will melt your mind and make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck!!!! ‘In The Morning’ continues in this melodic vein but more on the bad bwouy junglist tip with rolling amens and gunshots with a nice dubstep style drop. Another quality EP for you lovers of the NuSkool so once again, support this scene, support the artists and go and grab this!!!! Buy links can be found in the soundcloud set.
Kode 5 has gone from strength to strength in 2013 with No1
releases in the download stores from the likes of Stormski, Scotty Breaks and
many other new and established producers in the NuSkool scene, we caught up
with DJ Mystery to have a chat about music and life in general......
Your first taste of the rave scene was back in 89, the
'Summer Of Love', was it really the way people say it was?
I will be honest with
you it indeed was a special vibe that lasted only a few years from what I
remember.
What was the greatest year of the rave scene in your
opinion?
I would say it was
for me 1990-91 this was the start of the Belgian techno scene and I really got
in to DJ’ing with this genre, I was hooked instantly.
Fast forward to the present and you have, along with 4 other
like minded people, started Kode 5 recordings, what was the inspiration for
this?
It was from a night
out with Max MC, he was really set on the idea so it was time to get the wheels
in motion, Gaz Pritchard was also really happy to set up a label so we decided
to go for it and set it up as the vibe we wanted was old skool so we teamed up
together and created Kode 5....5 members Dakoda, Mystery, Max MC, Disrupta
& Kosine.
Although Kode 5 caters for a variety of genres, its fair to
say that it is a 'NuSkool' label. A lot of the releases to date and forthcoming
offer a 2013 take on the 90's rave/hardcore/jungle sound, how are the
'oldskool' heads taking to it and can it be as good as those classics from the
golden era?
Indeed we are a 91-94
vibed genre brought back up to date with the present scene, as I’m an old skool
DJ it’s sort of in my blood to know a good old skool tune and a good nuskool
one. I also started to play this nuskool sound out in my sets with DJ Timeless,
the nuskool vibe really started to grow on us both and it also showed as the
old skool crowds were liking the nu sound we were playing. So I would say if
you like your old skool then you’re gonna like the nuskool its a no brainer for
me as some really serious tunes are appearing in this nuskool breaks/future
jungle scene at present.
Not wishing to put you on the spot but which releases on
Kode 5 have stood out for you so far?
Ha ha!.....tuff
question....that would be the ones which I’m always playing then between
Stormski-‘Dream Of Heaven’ & Mastergroove-anialite....Seriously love all
the tracks on Kode 5 but these 2 have been played the most from me.
And you also run regular events, what can an attendee expect
and anything coming up soon?
The night is called
Conception it’s a Kode 5 based night which is run by various members of the
group and a few very good south coast DJs in the team. Basically our nights are
all about the old vs the nu you can expect some seriously awesome tuneage on
one of our nights out its basically a very varied night of not just old skool
we aim to cover the nu skool scene as that’s also where the new ravers are.
Thanks for taking the time to chat with the Strictly NuSkool
Blog, just to round things up, what’s coming up in the near future for the
label? Also, any shout outs and big ups?
For the label we have
a new nuskool album ‘en route’ for September called Conception...some very big
tracks from most of our artists on board the kode 5 label...defo one to keep an
eye out for if you’re in to your nuskool/future jungle breaks.
Shouts out to all
involved in the Kode 5/Conception family & friends for helping us keep the
scene alive..
Check out this Kode 5 recordings set by DJ Mystery and follow the link to their soundcloud page where you can hear al of their back cat and forthcoming tunes too....
