New dreamy tales by Motivbreaks

 


Greek musician Motivbreaks launches 2021, giving away a superb new personal digital weapon. Our good friend Stam keeps in steps with the times within the sophisticated underground Electronic Music, inspired mainly by the UK-Rave air playing out the last couple of years.
A posh result of euphoric and dreamy tracks made by the indispensable sovereign on this type of sound around Greece.
'Tales of the broken Glostyx EP ' portends as an inner expression born out of this 10-month lack of events and parties covered under a musical landscape of hope for the future. Three absolutely inconceivable tracks that you should not sit them out, and in personal thought they had to be released through a label.
If you like Chrissy, Maruwa, or Denham Audio, then this is the new addition to your collection.

Super new Vinyl with remastered Ozone Recordings oldies



Swiss label, Mental Groove Records have just unleashed their brand new offering, which is a superb collection of some highlights from the early days of Sheffield's legendary Ozone Recordings.

"It would be fair to say that this snapshot of Ozone Recordings’ excitement-packed back catalogue is well overdue. The Sheffield-based imprint’s contribution to British dance music’s creative boom of the late 1980s and early ‘90s has long been overlooked, with much more focus naturally falling on the Steel City’s other key imprint of the period, Warp Records. (...) Looking back, they offer a good snapshot of the time, just as this tighter, more stripped-down compilation of highlights does." - Matt Anniss

This quality release is one more Vinyl that should be added to your collection. It includes some proper Acid House from the late days of 1989 (by Count Zero and Success) a tradermark of a bleeps & bass track like 'New Age Technlology' by the self titled act evoking the first days of 90s with its futuristic vibe. Finally worth to emphasize on the 'For This II' by Trak 1, taking Techno to the next level with some sampling wisdom of hip hop and rave aesthetics.

This release contains extra words by Matt Anniss, author of the highly recommended 'Join The Future' book and all of the tracks have been remastered by Rob Gordon a local hero known of his act, Forgemasters. This 6-track EP is available on digital and limited trioxygen blue Vinyl edition featuring the infamous The Designers Republic logo.

Available to purchase now and make sure to act fast cos there's only a few Vinyls left on the Bandcamp.

Rustem Rustem boosts his ... 'PROMISE'

 



Not a newbie within the scene at all, this new solo music project by the name Rustem Rustem has hit the doors recently, unveiling his new digital work called 'Promise'.
This 2-track EP consists of two versions; the original mix and the 'radio edit' of the track. 
It marks the new direction that the producer would love to follow, inspired by his Hardcore Rave, Jungle, UKG roots. Actually an amalgamation of Breaks, House and Techno, using tough beats, heavy baselines and soaring synths.
Noteworthy also, the amazing vocals for this track! Maybe the highlight of this release...

"The vocal is from a live Gospel singer I found on youtube. So all the choir and cheering you can hear is real! I was looking for something different that would work with the sound I want to make and thought gospel would be perfect!"
- Rustem Rustem (Interview @ ThatDrop)


Top notch vibes and even greater promises for this new year. Beware of the upcoming arsenal of releases by Rustem Rustem.
He's made his right promise and won't take it back...

Maxee Gee - Me And Ma Flava EP

 


Moscow based GWR returns with a super weapon of contemporary Junglistic inspired vibes.
Four new tracks by Maxee Gee on a personal EP that closed 2020 with even more hot prospects for this brand new year.

"Tune “For Real” was banging around for some time pleasing people with its intelligent vibe and easy footwork flow. “Gyal” is a way more powerful footwork-jungle tune with heavy amen drop and mystical brain-cracking synths. Tunes “Junglist Girls” and “Kotorayashot” are straight forward good old style ragga-jungle business to make the crowd go wild and smash the dancefloor."

Available to grab it now and get familiar with the Russian underground vibes!

The essential History of Jungle/Drum & Bass on a new book by Velocity Press



UK's hard working publishing independent company in music books, Velocity Press, have just announced that they aim to publish six books this year, having already lined up the first two. So, their first installment of 2021 is called 'Who Say Reload' and it's specified on the essential history of Jungle and Drum & Bass including exclusive words by Goldie, DJ Hype, Roni Size, Andy C, 4 Hero. Plenty of interviews credited to Paul Terzulli, who's the author of this new book, analysing also the influences, equipment,samples that took this movement to the top with the amazing contribution of legendary Artists and apparently great records that hold still a golden value.

Photography is provided by Eddie Otchere who has an extensive archive of images, having been the photographer at Goldie’s seminal Metalheadz nights. His previously unseen visuals capture the essence of the music in a way that only someone who was fully immersed in the culture at the time could, and are the perfect accompaniment to the story being told.



QUOTES

J Majik

'Nice to see a different take on DnB’s history as Who Say Reload captures the early productions that laid down the music’s foundations.'
LTJ Bukem

'Jungle is the most unique and influential musical movement to come out of England. It’s important that the pioneers get to tell their stories like this. It’s great to see underground legends represented and put on a platform that highlight their contributions to a music genre that has become a worldwide phenomenon.'
Mampi Swift



The book will be 25cm x 25cm, including 160 pages and won't come out until March 2021 but if you pre-order it now, you’ll receive first, signed by the author and with your name in the credits. The postage & packing is charged separately.
