2/ Living In The 90's.
3/ Slammer.
4/ Uplifting Piano Track.
Continuing on with their non-stop mission to bring you the most uncompromisingly uplifting, breakbeat hardcore around, the 4 The Floor Recordings label are back again, this time with Japanese hardcore legend-in-the-making, Amaretto with the release of the feel-good 'Living In The 90's' EP.
First up to the plate we have 'Energy Flow', a track which expertly rewinds us back to the Glory Days of rave with it's euphoric fusion of rolling amen breaks, iconic vocal snippets, rush inducing pianos and a massive stab pattern which would not sound out of place if inserted into Slipmatt set, circa '93-'94.
Title track 'Living In The 90's' does exactly what it says on the tin by delivering an adrenaline soaked, retrospective rave-fest of thundering breaks and melancholic keys, before hitting you with a dark, manic stab section midway, which brings back memories of Vibes & Wishdokta's anthemic 'Obsession'.
'Slammer' see us return to the happier side of hardcore by utilising a plethora of diva vocals and pitched up hip hop samplage layered over a booming bassline, electrifying stabs ten-tonne breakbeat section to set your heart pounding!!!
Rounding the collection off, 'Uplifting piano Track' sees us immersed in an a melting pot of breakbeat, happy hardcore staples - thundering kick-drums, tearing amen drum-rolls, helium vocal samples hands-in-the-air piano sections and bubbling acidic squelches to boot. What more could you possibly ask for!?
While early and mid-nineties hardcore and jungle seems to be the retro go too at the moment, Amaretto and 4 The Core Recordings prove that the often reviled, yet fondly and devotedly loved genre of breakbeat, happy hardcore is effectively represented here. If you were a Slammin' Vinyl, Hectic Records and Kniteforce Records devotee, then this collection will be a must for your musical sensibilities!!!
Amaretto's 'Living In The 90's EP' is available to purchase now from the official 4 The Core Recordings Bandcamp page for £5 in high quality digital format (320 MP3, WAV, FLAC, etc), so if you love your hardcore on the euphoric side, then don't hesitate to picck this one up!!!
