[VMRDT101] Jaguar Paw feat. Yush - Ready To Roll [Available From All Good Viral-Mental Records Digital Stockists Now!!!]

1/ Ready To Roll (feat. Yush).

2/ Slow Down Frankie.

3/ Davis.

4/ Who Dat.

As 2017 nears it's conclusion, Viral-Mental Records sees the year out in style with a quartet of upfront jungle numbers from the infamous Jaguar Paw with the release of the 'Ready To Roll' EP. 

We are first introduced to the title track, 'Ready To Roll', a melodic amen jungle track featuring conscious lyrics from the mighty Yush paired with a bassline that will get your speakers shaking. Up next 'Slow Down Frankie' drops a skeletal 2-step breakbeat over a series of sister bass blasts, dub reggae FX and smatterings of gruff, Cockney dialogue samplage.

'Davis' continues on with the moody atmospherics by combining ominous synth notes with breakneck speed breaks, pulsating bass notes and East End gangster-isms. To bring the collection to a close we have the cheeky Princess Nokia sampling amen roller 'Who Dat', which deftly combines contemporary US rap vocals with ruffneck UK jungle to devastating effect.

If you are looking for a selection of heavyweight nuskool jungle tunes to see in the New Year, then look no further than Jaguar Paw's latest offering here. It's destined to do some serious dancefloor damage!!!

The Jaguar Paw 'Ready To Roll' EP is available to purchase now from all good Viral-Mental Records digital stockists...

[BLKR008] DJ QT - East Coast / Oh Yay [Available From All Good B-Lick Records Digital Stockists Now!!!]

1/ East Coast.

2/ Oh Yay.

Just in time for the Festive party season, DJ QT and B-Lick Records  present two devastating jungle rollers to get all crews on the dancefloor with the release of the massive 'East Coast / Oh Yay' single.

'East Coast' is first up to the plate and takes us on a frenetic, junglistic journey with it's potent blend of rugged breaks, bubbling bass and moody, mid-nineties gangsta rap flavours. The track perfectly captures the very essence of vintage jungle labels circa 1996, and revamps the formula with a 2017 overhaul to create a killer, jungle anthem to be.

Up next 'Oh Yay' delivers more of a 'feelgood' vibe with it's use of skanking dub reggae elements and vocals overlaid with a head-nodding, rubber-band bassline and relentless, 2-step breaks. 'Oh Yay' also sneaks in gorgeous shimmering pads and delayed synth twinkles into the mix give it an extra layer of 'niceness' in order to further tantalise your eardrums.

To sum up, DJ QT drops another quality pair of upfront jungle cuts that'll energise any self respecting jungle DJ's set. So don't hold back on adding this to your collection!!!

[BHM075] Mindtransit & Soft Wasp Ft Styrmonix - Josh (ft. Nefti Remix - 4track digital EP - BAD HABIT MUZIK)

01. Mindtransit & Soft Wasp Feat. Styrmonix - Josh

02. Mindtransit & Soft Wasp Feat. Styrmonix - Josh (Nefti Remix)

03. Mindtransit & Soft Wasp Feat. Styrmonix - Josh (Mindtransit Remix)

04. Mindtransit & Soft Wasp Feat. Styrmonix - Josh (Soft Wasp Real Deal Remix)

Canadian producer MindTransit is the recent signing of UK based eminent bass label, BAD HABIT MUZIK, on the brand new 'Josh' and at a first glance everything looks seriously attractive. With regard to it, a new addition to the Bad Habit arsenal and quality remixes with diversed styles.

A very good combination of intense Breakbeaks & Dubstep versions of 'Josh' coming out now on digital format with personal highlight the mind-boggling remix by Nefti, who has been progressing his beats more and more every year, leaving his Nu-Rave well-known character to some hot dancefloor shots!

All in all, for those who don't know about it, MindTransit is not fresh in the game. He has already released one of the greatest Hardcore Breaks/Nu-Rave EPs ever and that is '1992 And All That' and additionally it's more than pleasure having him again in the surface of production. 'Josh' finds himself collabing with Soft Wasp and Styrmonix which achieves what Bad Habit stands for. A modern sense of Oldschool Breaks.

[SNBEP023] 7J - Hot Thing [Free 8-Track Mini-Abum Download @ Strictly NuSkool Blog!!!]

1/ Travel Inside.

2/ Dorothy.

3/ Awake.

4/ Red Pill.

5/ Let's Go.

6/ Call Me (Tweet Remix).

7/ Try It Before You Die (feat. Phil Saul).

8/ Hot Thing.

For the twenty-third Strictly Nu-Skool Blog release we are honoured to present to you the brand new mini-album, 'Hot Thing' from multi-talented producer 7J. The album features eight heavyweight drum & bass tracks spanning a variety of sub-genres and styles whilst paying tribute to those mid/late nineties, classics that formed the foundation of the D&B genre.

The album first introduces us to a trio of the dark, futurist jazz and bass tracks with 'Travel Inside' setting the tone with it's combination of moody Rhodes notes and hard hitting 2-step breaks, closely followed by 'Dorothy' which layers monstrous synth growls contrasted by smooth liquid elements. 'Awake' completes the jazz and bass trilogy, dropping languid piano melodies and freestyle vocal snippets over harsh bass notes and stepping breaks to devastating effect.

The pace soon picks up with 'Red Pill'  which pairs frantic and relentless, live-style percussion with deep bass throbs and ominous, processed male speech. The epic 'Let's Go' takes us on a hyper-kinetic, tech-step trip where militant breaks do battle with a rasping bassline and repeated vocal refrains. 7J then showcases his remixing skills with his heavyweight overhaul of R&B diva, Tweet's 'Call Me', by adding a deadly fusion of 'Humpty Dump' breakbeat backbone and low frequency Reese notes.

'Try It Before You Die' re-injects some soul to the album with it's incorporation of Phil Saul's deep baritone vocals over a rolling, funk flavoured drum & bass backing. The album concludes with the title track, 'Hot Thing', which tips it's hat to Blue Note era, techstep pressure with it's frenetic, battering ram drum programming and oppressive industrial atmospherics.

Whether you are a fan of organic, yet nonetheless hard-hitting jazz flavoured drum & bass, or unrelentingly harsh techstep, 'Hot Thing' will satisfy all your musical needs!!!

7J's 'Hot Thing' mini-album is available to download FOR FREE! from the Strictly NuSkool Blog link below. Big respects to 7J for presenting this release for the S.N.B. label.

[KFA078] AUDIO X - Procrastination Makes Perfect EP [Out on Digital & Limited CD - KFA]

01. Set Your Feelings Free

02. Move

03. The Hero We Deserve

04. The Only Way Out Is Through 

05. Move (Second Movement) 

06. Spider Pig (KFA Mix)

This new release has an abundance of reasons to be assumed as quintessential for a prolific child of Kniteforce movement, like KFA (Kniteforce Again).

First of all this is the official first release with Shane Saiyan on the managing board, as already announced few months ago. Canada based UK Hardcore dog comes into the right place on the right time to offer his passion for music, his new ideas and aims to keep in step with times while renovating a bit KFA into a bright new era.

And who's the man behind the brand new KFA78? Well, it's Joel Wright, namely Audio X and the title of his EP, 'Procrastination Makes Perfect' should help you avoid making a spectacle of yourself by not missing the golden time of grabbing the CD version of it. According to this CD version, it's something newish in the KFA family that hopefully will go the right way, on the grounds that as I'm typing this blogpost there are only a few of them left...

As for Audio X... Well he's a prominent producer over the last 10+ years, standing for different aspects of Nuskool Hardcore, therefore his personal EP on KFA achieves that as well.

Four stunning tunes is the original ruffness flavour alongside 2 executive edition tunes and what stems from that EP is the melody of 'The Hero We Deserve'. A melody where it all begins and ends with rupture. An impeccable tune, personal favourite from this release apart from the other relevant slams of Joel.

14/ Jaguar Paw - The Kings.

15/ SkorpZ - Chaos Theory.

16/ Laydee Virus - Reverse Dimensions (VIP Mix).

After four years of delivering the very finest in dancefloor friendly drum and bass Viral-Mental Records present their 100th release, and have pulled out all stops with the 'VMR Team Vol. 1' album. Featuring sixteen brand new tracks from Viral-Mental Records' artist roster, and spanning everything from ruffneck, jungle rollers to razor-sharp neurofunk. It's time to join in with the celebration!

We are first introduced to Uzi's amen infused, 'i Captain' which gets the album off to a tearing start with it's infectious blend of rolling breaks, smooth sax licks and grimey bass drones. DROMA up next takes us on a deep and moody trip into drum & bass with 'The Search' which expertly combines soothing pads and neuro bassline pressure. 

The inimitable Jaguar Paw offers up a filthy slice of heavyweight, steppin' junglism with the P.O.T.U.S. sampling 'It Duzn't Exist' and is closely followed by Hektic's darkly hypnotic 'Room Service', which easily conjures up vintage bassline rollers from the Golden Era of D&B.

SkorpZ steps into the arena next with his epic amen break driven 'My World', a rich soundclash of frenetic breaks and tension steeped atmospherics. Oz's premier mistress of darkness, Laydee Virus introduces us to her latest stripped back neuro flavoured stepper 'Shadow Cover', a precision crafted exercise in ominous soundscapes and clockwork percussion. 

Dredillah unleashes his deep, dark jungle/drum & bass fusion, 'Ay Ay' which merges together crisp, 2-step breaks and grime encrusted bass riffs with classic, jungle drum rolls before Inphekt drops yet another trademark, neo-darkside bomb with the menacing, Reese bass riff fuelled 'Army Of One'. 

DROMA returns for another stab at the action with 'A Gun', a track steeped in pensive, orchestral swells, sinister movie dialogue and robotnik synth riffage which is closely succeeded by Dredillah's razor-sharp slice of neurofunk, 'Katana', with it's deadly blend of relentless 2-step breaks and harsh Reese drones. 

Those machine-like, neuro sounds continue on with Inphekt's 'Phualius', with it's heavy industrial D&B flavour underlined by a subtle Euro-harcore undercurrent. Uzi switches things up in a junglistic fashion with the dub-reggae skank fuelled 'Fire Burning', an intense amen rinse-out with one hell of a catchy vocal hook. One for the 'Lighter' crew!!!

Hektic return's to the fray with 'If It Bleeds', taking vocal elements from an iconic, '80's sci-fi/action classic layered with steppin' breaks and a deadly twin-bass combination. Up next we have 'The Kings' by Jaguar Paw, a moody, minimal jungle piece which expertly combines, crisp beats, killer bassline and cheeky "Inglorious" move snippets.

SkorpZ delivers yet another deep and atmospheric, yet hard-hitting cut with the symphonic 'Chaos Theory' which utilises sweeping strings alongside tearing breaks and bass to utterly devastating effect. Bringing the album to it's conclusion, Laydee Virus drops another tech-step bomb with the 'Reverse Dimensions (VIP Mix)' perfectly capturing that classic pre-millennial dark D&B sound.

With this diverse collection of drum & bass and jungle cuts, there is no better time for you to sample the Viral-Mental sound. Grab yourself a copy of this and join the VMR Team!!!
