5/ Jack's Lake.

Boomsha Recordings return to the fray with another monumental selection of intricately crafted jungle and drum & bass tracks from Brighton based breaksmith Movement, who introduces us to his Boomsha debut, 'The Bodyguard' EP. 

Taking inspiration from jungle's Golden Era of breakbeat manipulation and deep and atmospheric soundscapes, 'The Bodyguard' instantly evokes memories of legendary club nights such as Blue Note and Speed with it's precision crafted use of Apache breaks, Far Eastern string plucks and flutes and muffled movie dialogue. 
A gentle melancholic melody paired with whispered female vocals opens up 'The Tempest' next, before evolving into a slick liquid drum & bass number, albeit with a perfect moody edge.

'Kenjutsu' also wears it's Oriental influences on it's sleeve, utilising Japanese instrumentation and tense, cinematic atmospherics combined with razor-sharp break edits and sc-fi bass pulses. Up next the tempo drops to breakbeat tempo, but the format is strictly junglistic on 'Fragmented Forms'. A track which effortlessly blend together nods to 1992 hardcore (DJ Red & Alert & Mike Slammer), cavernous Reese bass throbs and ruff & rugged breaks to create a potent fusion of oldskool and new styles.

Bring the collection to a close we have the jazz-tinged 'Jack's Lake', a soulful jungle stepper which easily puts you in the mood for warm, laid-back Summer evenings with it's soundtrack of crisp Blowfly breaks, shimmering guitar licks and phat bass notes. 

On first listen to Movements' five track magnum opus, it becomes instantly clear that homage has been paid to some of the drum & bass scene's most pioneering artists mid-nineties output (Photek and Source Direct to name but two), however he has taken those influences and made them his own with this EP. One for serious jungle / drum & bass heads!!!
