[FDXBLKSR006] X-Nation - X-Nation EP [Foundation X 3-Track 12" Vinyl Available Now!!!]



A - Infinite Waters.
AA1 - 9 Digit Roots.
AA2 - Kiss My Neck.

The mighty Foundation X label has long been known for interweaving deep jungle dub aesthetics with cavernous basslines and heavyweight breakbeats, and it's latest 12" vinyl release, X-Nation's 'X-Nation EP' does not fail to deliver the goods on that front.

Dubwise, sound system vibes form the backbone of opening track 'Infinite Waters', which comes steeped in delayed FX, subsonic bass booms and filtered, rolling amen breaks accented with a smattering of trumpet blasts, evocative, reggae vocalisms and if I am right, a sneaky 'Star Trek' sound sample.

Paying homage to reggae icon Eek-A-Mouse's sing-song classic, 'Long Time Ago', '9 Digit Roots' hits you with rich tapestry of electrifying synth flourishes set to a skanking bassline and tearing Amen and Think break combo that'll get all heads nodding on the dancefloor.

Rounding off the selection we have 'Kiss My Neck' which delivers a potent blend of rapid-fire, layered 'Scottie' breaks, thundering 808 bass pulses and soulful Frankie Paul vocals combined with spine-tingling Richard D. James, arpeggiated synth riffs borrowed from a 1992, R&S classic.

The 'X-Nation EP' comes recommended to anyone who considers themselves a connoisseur of serious jungle with a focus on breakbeat manpulation and deep, bassline pressure. This one's strictly for the headz!!!

X-Nation's 'X-Nation EP' is available to buy for £9.99 (plus p&p) and is ready to ship now. So be quick before they fly out the door!!!
