V.A. - Trancework 2.0 [23track compilation]



South London electronic label, We Buy Gold has recently released an immense and intense compilation comprised of 23 tunes, furthermore this album could be easily described as 'The Juke Release of the Month'.

This time the label 'elaborate display of wealth' heads over its 3rd release, which is a digital combo of absolutely mental and exquisite modern captured tunes that all remix and reminisce some of the oldschool or even better Trance classics. The result is fair & square by all producers involved, in a time when good old trance means new techniques under a deep or euphoric juke & bass umbrella.
'Trancework 2.0.' is the compilation you need to fulfil your desire with good music and indulge yourself to the max.

[BPR010] Opius - 3.142 LP [Available To Download From All Good Digital Download Stores!!!]


1/ Heavy Hearted (feat. Anthony Greninger).
2/ Red Admiral.
3/ The Green Room VIP.
4/  Doin' It.
5/ Dusty Needle.
6/ Time To Ride. 
7/ 3.124.
8/ Sound Crew VIP.
9/ Walking The Planets (Rollerz Mix).
10/ They're Real.
11/ Primitive Savages.
12/ Spirit Weaver.

Veteran drum & bass producer, Opius unveils his latest magnum opus with the release of his brand new '3.142 LP' on Ballpark Recordings. Featuring twelve storming D&B tracks spanning a range of styles from the rough to the smooth, it's time for us to delve into this musical adventure...

The album sets off with a collaboration with US piano maestro, Anthony Greninger on 'Heavy Hearted' which expertly blends together crisp rolling breaks and gentle bass notes with a gorgeous, uplifting piano melody before being succeeded by liquid jazz and bass fusion, 'Red Admiral'. Up next 'The Green Room VIP' ramps up the smokey blues flavours to maximum with it's live instrumental elements and laid back saxophone notes, to create a proper head-nodder of a tune.

On 'Doin' It', the laid back, live grooves continue, but are enhanced with the addition of a monstrous, growling bassline overlaid with steppin' breaks. 'Dusty Needle' takes us back in time by dusting off old bebop LP's and melding them with a rolling breakbeat and positively joyous bassline that will not fail to get people moving on the dancefloor. 'Time To Ride' then steers the album onto more tear-out territor with it's melting pot of spaghetti Western movie dialogue and heavyweight breaks and bass combo. 

The album's title track '3.142', sees Opius continue on with the big, bad and heavy D&B formula with it's rubber band bassline and vintage Flava Flav/P.E. samplage and is soon joined by the equally bombastic 'Sound Crew VIP', which tips it's hat to the vintage jungle sounds of the mid-nineties whilst giving it a meaty 2017 update. We are next introduced to the deep and atmospheric amen workout, 'Walking The Planets (Rollerz Mix)' which serves up an exquisite soundscape of space-age speech samples , soaring pads and razer sharp amen edits.

'They're Real' takes us to the darkside of drum & bass with it's tearing fusion of hyper-kinetic breaks, dirge like synth drones and horror flick dialogue and is followed up in a similar, ominous fashion with the trippy, sci-fi, psychedelia infused 'Primitive Savages'. The album is then brought to it's conclusion by 'Spirit Weaver', a track which pays homage to those classic Blue Note, tech-step sounds of '96-'97' with it's ten-tonne amen edits and sinister bass heavy synths (a la Dillinja's 'Unexplored Terrain'). Providing a perfect close to an altogether richly texture drum & bass album.

If your tastes in drum & bass span all sub-genres of the scene, then the '3.142 LP' is guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning headz musical appetite. Get on this one, now!!!

The Opius '3.142 LP' is available to purchase now from the following Ball Park Recordings digital stockists...

ANDREW JUKE - RAVER'S COMPLAINT EP [4track digital EP - out on AERONEMA]


01. Remorse02
02. Consumed
03. Block Tech 
04. Zanzibar


Czech based electronic label, Aeronema has just released the 'Juke of the Month' due to our preferences.
It's all about 4 ravey belters coming out from the versatile brain of Toronto based Adrew Juke.
Not just a name but a genre that Andrew has been exposing throughout the years and via his own imprint Hood Records and various firing mixes of him.
All in all, 'Raver's Complaint' is the new weapon of 160bpm raving profusion. An answer just before ravers complaining for anything negative. An ode to the rave revival under a modern approach drawn on Andrew's skills and Hardcore conscience.

Kudos!

[INVSN009] Laabreeze - Stratch Thing EP [Available To Download Now From All Good Digital Music Stores!!!]


1/ Stratch Thing.
2/ Bugs.
3/ Time.
4/ Sirius.

The Invasion Recordings crew are back again with another firing selection of high octane drum & bass, this time showcasing the talents of label newcomer Laabreeze who presents the 'Stratch Thing EP'.

We are first introduced to the sci-fi sounds of title track 'Stratch Thing', which expertly blends together sweeping synths and gnarly mid-range riffs with crisp breaks and organic bass notes to create what could easily be mistaken as a soundtrack to an imaginary futuristic anime series. Up next 'Bugs' adds some twisted, neurofunk synth pressure into the mix, layered on top of a relentless 2-step breakbeat and bubbling, industrial bassline.

On 'Time', we are taken on a deep, cinematic journey with it's combination of dark, cavernous atmospherics and near orchestral swells set to an adrenalising percussive backing. In contrast to the futuroid sounds of it's predecessor, 'Sirius' takes us back to the present/past by interlacing rolling drum & bass beats with smooth, jazzy liquid textures to provide a perfect conclusion to the collection.

Once again, Invasion Recordings pulls off another premium quality release that should be a welcome addition to any drum & bass connoisseur's music library. Make sure you pick up your copy now!!!

Laabreeze's, 'Stratch Thing  EP' is available to download from all the official Invasion Recordings Bandcamp store...

[Bandcamp] Master Mash - Hardcore In Darkness EP [Available To Download Now!!!!]


1/ Hardcore In Darkness.
2/ Afraid Of The Dark.
3/ (I Know What's) In The Basement.

As the seasons have drawn ever deeper into the Winter bleakness Master Mash unveils the perfect darkside, junge tekno soundtrack to accompany the glacial climate with the release of the 'Hardcore In Darkness EP'

We are firstly introduced to a sinister slice of acid-techno flavoured darkcore with title track 'Hardcore In Darkness', which expertly combines relentless 4/4 kickdrums with rolling breakbeats, hardcore stabs and brooding  acid bassline to devastating effect. 

Up next we are presented with 'Afraid Of The Dark', which ramps up the feelings of unease by dropping a creeped-out, off kilter piano melody into the jungle tekno mix alongside a series of electrifying, rapid-fire 'Anasthasia' stabs. 

To complete the darkcore triptych we have '(I Know What's) In The Basement)', a veritable dark hardcore symphony which interweaves eerie synths and pads with adrenalising stab patterns, pounding kicks and militant breaks.

Master Mash once again proves that he is one of the undisputed 'masters' of neo-darkside jungle-tekno, and with his latest collection of tracks, he has guaranteed that the spirit of 1993-1994 dark hardcore is far from dead. A must for any darkcore fanatics!!! 

The Master Mash 'Hardcore In Darkness EP' is available to purchase now from the official Master Mash Bandcamp page for a "Name Your Price" deal. So if you are enjoying the tunes then support the artist to make future releases!!!

[VMRDT099] Hektic - Taken EP [Available From All Good Viral-Mental Records Digital Stockists Now!!!]


1/ Taken.
2/ Nah Dead.
3/ Dead Leg.
4/ Selecta.

Viral-Mental Records and label mainstay Hektic take you deep into the jungle with the 'Taken EP', featuring four heavyweight, contemporary jungle tracks which give a tip of the hat to those Golden Era sounds of '94-'96.

The collection is kicked off by title track, 'Taken' which fuses together crisp, stepping breaks and moody atmospherics coupled with a deadly reversed Dead Dred/Reese bass combo and iconic 'Predator' vocal snippets to cement that oldskool feel.
Up next 'Nah Dread' drops ruff and rugged ragga and haunting dub vox over a minimal 2-step break, evocative pads and bouncing bassline to deliver a powerful stepper, dripping with menace.

'Dead Leg' captures the very essence of mid nineties, classic jump up wih it's layering of obscure vocal samples, orchestral swells and rolling breaks, brought together by a massive, electrifying sine wave bass riff that would put the likes of Mampi Swift to shame.
Perfectly rounding off the EP we have 'Selecta', a potent blend of classic ragga vocals, bubbling bass notes and snappy breakbeats that's guaranteed to get your heart pumping, you head nodding and your feet moving. 

If vintage Tru Playaz, Dread Recordings and Trouble On Vinyl were your bag back in the day. or have inspired your musical directions today, then look no further than this fine selection of moody, jump-up junglism from Hektic here. You'll be glad you did!
