4/ Star Key.
It's all about the "BASS!" when it comes to the latest release from Viral-Mental Recordings' stalwart, Hektic. The 'Boltron' EP wears it's 1996 era, dancefloor orientated jump-up jungle influences proudly on it's sleeves. With clear inspiration from classic labels, such as Tru Playaz, Trouble On Vinyl and Intalex Productions running through each of the four tracks's featured.
'Full Ten' is first up to the plate, and it does so by teasing the listener with an organ riff and rugged breakbeat driven intro, coupled with vintage movie samples, before diving into a mammoth, pulsating bassline that'll get your head nodding.
The hazy, smokey sounds of the frankly trippy 'Boltron' follow next, and strips things back by introducing us to a skippy, stepping break flavoured with Wu-Tang vocal snippets and psychedelic pads.
The junglistic 'Tell Dem' drops a moody, dub guitar skank over stepping, layered breaks and earth-shaking bass drones, whilst dropping delay-soaked reggae vocals - imagine Burial's 'Broken Home' set to a jungle soundscape if you may.
Last but certainly not least, 'Star Key's concludes the EP in full-on, bassline driven style that would have pricked up the ears of the T.O.V. crew if it had been unleashed 20 years ago prior. Perfectly concluding a retro themed, yet thoroughly current collection of upfront jump-up belters.
If you love your bassline's chunky, your breaks rough and rugged and your jump-up jungle with it's feet firmly rooted to the dancefloor, then Hektic's 'Boltron' EP will be just the thing to get you brockin' out!!!
