Off to the Long Island now and the Japanese based zot!k who is credited to compile this banging new weapon of Nuskool Jungle. 'Communal Spirit' is a 7-track mini album, which came out originally in cassette format yet is out digitally via Bandcamp. It aims to showcase some of the elite producers in Japan (e.g. SHaKa-iTCHi, ennnn or Twisted Souls) plus Jon Tetly from UK. It's described as Vaporjungle and it's surely something that has to be added to your collection. Strong bassline, chopped up breaks and rhythms strictly for the heavyweight ruffneck soldiers!
Our recommendation for this weekend is this exquisite podcast paying homage and tribute to the only and only Keith Flint from The Prodigy. The original and first of all Firestarter.
Sources and archives are taken from BBC, The Face, Q Magazine, Select, Guardian and a few others. All in all, the narration presented is top quality and it takes you from Keith's oldskool days to the last days of his personal 'escapism' for a legend who was quite different from the rest. About a man you think you know, when you barely knew him...
"WARNING: this episode includes references to suicide. He was maybe the last pop star who could scare grannies and make kids cry. Keith Flint looked like Johnny Rotten mixed with Freddie Krueger. He snarled rather than sang. The tabloids wanted his records banned. But the real Keith was a very different man - and the story of this lost kid’s life and sad death are both endearing and deeply moving."
Spandangle Selection returns with a new vinylized weapon by Hired Gun, one of the plenty side projects of Kniteforce big daddy, Luna-C. This record is reissued right after 25 years including two new remixes that play fair enough to the original double jungle ruffness! And the remixers behind are the very talented Danny Styles and Hornchurch Hardcore.
This record is a great chance to be added to your collection in case you missed the mid-90s copy. It has that quality mastering and those two new remixes as well. Nothing else needed...
Putting the needle on the Vinyl and getting things started with 'Dem Gun Mad' kicking as a '94-'95 full on gunshot amen breaks spinner with a resonating bassline, while on A2 it's the mighty Danny Styles adding an alternative heavyweight ruffneck manner! On the flipside 'What Goes On' will surely reminisce the original Jungle of '94, melodies and drum grooves that will take you high on that unique oldskool trip. No doubt this is one of the most sensational productions by Luna-C, escaping from his usual Breakbeat Hardcore character. On the remix duties, Hornchuch Hardcore giving a slight take over to the original track closing this amazing record as deserves!
You may grab your copies now via Spandangle Selection webshop and Bandcamp pages!

One of the sections that really stands out on our Blog is this one, aiming to introduce new acts, labels & producers to the world of Nu-Rave. This time we got a producer 'born' in yesteryear's late days with a smashing digital debut single called 'Terminatah'. His project is called ESPR and he's based in UK. We got in touch with him for some more extra information about his project, which is very aspiring and much promising. Label managers, you better keep an eye on this machine please.
"I produce other styles of music but I wanted to make rave/hardcore music when I began producing but didn't know how. I sometimes listened to artists like Prodigy and SL2 and other rave music from that era when I was young. When I started out producing I was going to raves but couldn't quite get the sound I wanted to make. Once I got closer with the production side of things...it was like I'm not really at raves these days but still wanted an outlet to vent all my dance music haha. I want to make something with that same energy but try and make something new."
ESPR has already released two EPs, available on Apple Music, Amazon and Spotify characterised by the element of energy as he says above and tough breakbeats that evoke Oldskool memories.
"This may not be interesting but I didn't really have any special gear that I used for this - it was mostly my computer, headphones and a little keyboard. I used a larger piano/keyboard for some parts I actually wanted to play live, such as the piano on 'I Fly' - I played it at a slow tempo, layered and mixed with another piano plugin then sped it up to the actual tempo of the track. I will try and get more ESPR releases done now. Thanks to everyone supporting me so far."
