[BF327] LIQUID vs AK1200 - The Rave Revival Vol.1 [BROOKLYN FIRE RECORDS]


01. The Light
02. The Dark



Brooklyn Fire Records go ahead to their 400th release providing tons of energy and quality modern vibes for the dancefloor and your pleasure. Till then, there is a seriously remarkable collaboration right in here with two Rave dons, one's based in UK and the other in US.
Namely it's all about the very prolific over the last 2 years, Eamon Downes from Liquid and the almighty and one of the longest Drum & Bass runners, AK1200 from US.

Liquid, well known off the '92 chart topper "Sweet Harmony" has returned stronger than ever with a second personal album released last year, entitled "Energy Flows" as well as various stuff coming out on Kniteforce Records & Music Mondays.
Currently living in Rome but his blood is still pumping with the infamous UK rave revival spirit, thus allowed him making this fresh collaboration with OrlanDON AK1200, offering two fresh gems on a digital release called "The Rave Revival Vol.1".

BigRiddim Recordings head honcho, AK1200 skips a little bit of his D&B roots and delivers something very nostalgic ('The Dark') & uplifting ('The Light') alongside Liquid on two Rave Breaks similar tunes that differ only to the emotions they can give you while listening to them.


"The Rave Revival Vol.1" is out now. A DJ friendly weapon of a good set, a highly recommended release for your digital collection, moreover when being fan of those two iconic heads & this great label run by Tommie Sunshine.

[DCLS002] DJ Style 90.6 - Dark Power / Trans-Elevation [12" Vinyl Single Available To Download Now From Hardcore Vinylist Records!!!]


A - Dark Power.
B - Trans-Elevation.

Following through after the success of the 'Alirght / Satisfied' 12", DJ Style 90.6 and Hardcore Vinylist Records makes a welcome return and brings with him yet another vinyl exclusive slice of contemporary junglism, with the 'Dark Power / Trans-Elevation' single ready to set your SL1210's on fire.

The collection kicks off with the deep, dark and atmospheric 'Dark Power', which deftly combines luscious pads with thundering bass pulses, rolling Amens and Soul Pride breaks and ominous movie dialogue snippets which sets a perfect tone of unease before destroying the listener with a devastating, stab fuelled drop.

On the flipside we are presented with an adrenaline soaked piece of jungle-tekno with 'Trans-Elevation', a potent blend of relentless kick-drums layered over crisp breaks and an uplifting synth riff, flavoured with swirling mentasms and ragga sound-clash vocals which perfectly captures that pivotal point when jungle, techno and hardcore merged together late 1993-1994. 

Whether your rave flavours veer towards the dark or lighter side of hadcore, the 'Dark Power / Trans-Elevation' single has all bases covered. This one is  recommended for all fans of Dark Horse Records, Tango, Pascal & Sponge and Unatural Light!!!

The DJ Style 90.6, 'Dark Power / Trans-Elevation' 12" vinyl single is available to purchase now for £9.99 (plus P&P) from the official Hardcore Vinylist Records Bandcamp store, and is vinyl only. So if you wish to own a copy you better move fast as limited copies are available!!!

[4TCR-EP02] Beeno, Stammers, Thibor - 3 Peas In A Pod [4-Track EP Available To Download Now From 4 The Core Recordings!!!]


1/ Beeno - Trip Dem.
2/ Beeno - The Ghostbuster.
3/ Beeno & Khyzer Zuke (Stammers) - In Heaven.
4/ Beeno & Thibor - Thanks.

Hot off the heels of the slammin' DJ Revive EP, 4 The Core Recordings are back with another quartet of breakbeat hardcore belters to set the rave alight, with the release of the '3 Peas In A Pod EP' from Kniteforce Radio regular DJ Beeno, alongside fellow K.F.R. cohorts Khyzer Zuke (aka Stammers) and Thibor

The man like Beeno opens up the collection with the tearing 'Trip Dem', a contemporary update on that 1992 breakbeat hardcore template which combines 180 mph, D&B amens with hardcore sampleadelica with nuff pilfering from the likes of classic house diva vocals right through to Ennio Morricone's iconic 'Chi Mai' melody.

Beeno follows up with a madcap, four-to-the-floor hardcore mashup of classic '80's paranormal comedy movie clips and uplifting, Jackie Wilson samples with... 'The Ghostbuster', which comes jam-packed with contrasting happy and dark jungle-tekno elements to catch out the unwary raver.

'In Heaven' sees Beeno join forces with Khyzer Zuke for a thundering slice of 1992-style breakbeat mentalism, complete with chunky beats, booming bass notes and a plethora of exhilarating stabs and rave riffs, as well as expertly implemented borrowings from vintage child safety ads and 'Everything Is Fine' vox from 'Dr Adamski's Muscal Pharmacy' LP.

Rounding up the collection we have Beeno & Thibor's 'Thanks', which takes us on a fill-on hardcore/('90's) jump-up jungle assault, where rolling amens do battle with thundering kickdrums, monstrous bass 'whoomps', ragga chatter and Dido (!?). Which despite sounding nigh on impossible to gel together effectively, it works a treat!

The 4 The Core Recording camp comes up with yet another inspired selection of genre-defying tracks from breakbeat hardcore's up and coming elite. If you seek the very best in boundary pushing hardcore, then you need this in your collection!!! 

The Beeno, Stammers, Thibor '3 Peas In A Pod' EP is available to purchase now from the official 4 The Core Recordings Bandcamp page for £6 in high quality digital format (320 MP3, WAV, FLAC, etc).

[SFR007] Redshift & DJ Problem Child - Stepping Stones / Hegemon [Limited Edition 12" Vinyl & Digital Pre-Orders Available Now!!!]


A - Stepping Stones (featuring Man Parris).
B - Hegemon.

Silent Force Recordings welcomes Redshift and Problem Child to the fold with the release of the 'Stepping Stones / Hegemon', 12" vinyl and digital single. Ushering in a new era of dark mid-nineties themed, tech-step drum & bass. It's time to batten down the hatches, as we prepare for a full-on audio assault...

We are first introduced to the moody, sci-fi futurism of 'Stepping Stones' which drops crisp, 2-step breaks over thunderous bass notes, ominous industrial drones and subsonic rave stabs, complimented by legendary MC, Man Parris on vocal duties. 'Stepping Stones' instantly brings to mind the very essence of those infamous Blue Note Sessions by delivering no-nonsense, headstrong drum & bass.

Flipping things over we are once more plunged into the darkness with the pitch black  'Hegemon', a track which unleashes desolate atmospheric tones set to a punishing, layered amen break, rib-cage shaking, 808 bass booms and eerie movie dialogue snippets. If your D&B appreciation falls within the realms of Renegade Hardware/Dylan/Droppin' Science/Twisted Anger, circa 1996, then 'Hegemon' will tick all your boxes.

With this heavyweight slab of wax, Redshift & Problem Child present an essential selection of tech-step cuts for  anyone who considers themselves a lover of headstrong, drum & bass. 

The Redshift & DJ Problem Child 'Stepping Stones / Hegemon' 12" vinyl is available to pre-rder now from the Silent Force Recordings Bandcamp page for £9.99 plus postage & packaging. Quantities are limited to only 200 copies and also include a free digital copy. Digital versions are also available to purchase for only £2.00.

A1 - Morning Drums (Dubplate Mix).
A2 - Ohh Oh.
B1 - Moments So Dark (Remix).

After the resounding success of the previous Bay B Kane release, Spandangle Selection are back once more with yet another collection of rare and unreleased oldskool hardcore and jungle gems on vinyl only. This time featuring four rare and unreleased tracks from D.J. Wax, who earned a place in jungle history with 1993's legendary 'Moments So Dark'.

We are first presented with the exquisite 'Morning Drums (Dubplate Mix)', a lush piece of atmospheric jungle which was only ever made available on dubplate to a very select number of DJ's back in the day, and delivers frenetic drum-programming layered over luscious pads.
Up next we have 'Ohh Oh', also from D.J. Wax's unreleased D.A.T. collection, a string driven slice of uplifting jungle comprised of rolling breaks, booming, descending bass patterns and ecstatic female vocals to get all hands in the air.

The flipside offers up an undisputed and remastered oldskool anthem in the form of the 'Moments So Dark (Remix)', which was played out by many a rave heavyweight back in the day. Adding even more elements from the Art Of Noise classic to create an intoxicating, rush inducing, hardcore jungle classic. 
Rounding off the collection we have 'PD-21', which also appears courtesy from D.J. Wax's very own personal dubplate archives, and features soaring strings layered over thundering breaks and a bouncing, 808 bassline.

With the D.J. Wax 'Spandangle Selection Volume 5' 12" vinyl, the label has once more excelled itself in unearthing and remastering some lost jungle gems, so make sure you grab yourself a piece of rare and unreleased jungle history before they disappear!

The D.J. Wax 'Spandangle Selection Volume 5' EP is available to purchase now from the official Spandangle Selection webstore for £9.99 plus postage & packaging.

[INVSN019] Grinder - Fake Fear EP [Available Now From All Good Invasion Recordings Digital Stockists!!!]


1/ Fake Fear.
2/ Lost Echo.
3/ Blur.
4/ Silence.

Invasion Recordings return to spread their trademark, pitch black neurofunk sound with the release of 'The Fake Fear EP' by St. Petersburg based D&B producer Grinder

We are first launched into the darkness with title track. 'Fake Fear', which layers atmospheric horror/sc-fi samples over thundering 2-step breaks and rasping bass heavy growl. The tension is further increased by scuttling, sound FX which emulate the aural sensation of cybernetic spiders crawling up your spine.

The tech-step onslaught continues with the darkly atmospheric 'Lost Echo', which expertly combines ominous, atmospheric pads set to a steppin' drum pattern and a deep, cavernous bassline that's guaranteed to get your subs rattling.

Opening up the second half we have the unnervingly sinister 'Blur', a track which instantly evokes a sense of dread by layering industrial synth riffs over a relentless drumbeat, locking the listener into punishing, yet perversely irresistible groove. 

Drawing the quartet to a perfect close, 'Silence' rewinds us back to the late nineties, when the likes of of RAM Records, Renegade Hardware and Virus Recordings ruled the airwaves with monstrous bass pulses locked in eternal conflict with twisted, technoid mid-range riffs. 

If you consider yourself a serious neurofunk connoisseur, then the 'Fake Fear EP' will be a must to have in your collection!!!
