New banging Vinyl EP by Zensation on Return Of The Vibe



 Without any doubt, Zensation is one of those acts that deliver absolutely quality and definitive Hardcore Breaks. His first Vinyl release on Return Of The Vibe went down a storm, hence it was a matter of time to prepare his next weapon of Hardcore.

A. All Night Long (ft. Carmen Naida)
AA. Higher (ft. AmeliA X)
Known of projects under the names of V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D. and Euphoria on Next Generation Records, Zensation return to the Return Of The Vibe label with two fresh slammers on the same tip as with their prior EP. Including original vocals by Carmen Naida and AmeliA X (who worked on ROTV002 too). 'All Night Long' and 'Higher' simply reppin the '92 year almost 30 ears after.
Slow bpm range but modern Hardcore, intensive breakbeats hit wild like a punch, and a sense of dancefloor hope is all you receive from these swell vibes.
And if you would like to know more about Zensantion, check this interview given to DJ Jedi here.
"Limited press (180 units only) on white vinyl, in the new Return of the Vibe/Def Star in house labels' printed house bags featuringartwork originally hand sprayed by Dare who did all the original Underdog/Burning Bush artwork back in '93-'95. The 12" vinyl comes with free Digital 320 kbps mp3s of both tracks which will be automatically delivered."

All in all the label doesn't rest on their laurel, so they're already in works for the next super 12" EP releases with the likes of the magic duet Vibes & Hattrixx and also DJ Jedi making his debut ROTV release.

DJ X-cess returns to Burning Bush Communications after 25 years!



The year 1996, DJ X-cess has collaborated with DJ Fade delivering an amazing 2-track EP on Burning Bush Communications. 'Feel The Rain' was one of those superb stompy Hardcore tracks of the label, something that would be an omen to the future...
Today, 25 years after this release, DJ X-cess (a.k.a. Matthew Harris) has returned to the same label with some new music! And why not... Things have changed; have evolved and there's an outstanding new breed of Hardcore out there with new ideas,labels and artists.

A. Music is Moving
AA. Rise Up

His new release is comprised of two tracks on a classic Hardcore Breaks tip printed on a catchy limited green 12" Vinyl (digital too when purchased) via www.defstar.co.uk
Just for the record, DJ X-cess used to be 1/2 of Organ Donors, UK hard dance act alongside his brother Scott. The producer is well chuffed of his new release, hence he posted a foto depiction of his excitement as he holds his first and his brand new vinyl on Burning Bush Communications.


"Releasing music on vinyl has and always will be a very special feeling.
On the top is my first ever release on Burning Bush Communications, a Breakbeat /Hardcore Rave label from the 90’s. On the bottom is my latest release and the first of many to come for the newly reestablished label almost 26 years later, under my old name DJ Xcess.
And pressed on green vinyl for a proper throw back.
It’s so refreshing and nostalgic to be making oldskool hardcore again but with a modern twist, and to be reigniting a name that was so good to me in the early stages of my career"
(Source)



In addition, check out above some exclusive words from Def Star to our Blog, about what's coming out from them:
"We have some material on the way as we try and push the '92 breakbeat hardcore sound on vinyl and will be focusiing on harcore tunes between 130 and 140bpm including forthcoming material on Return of The Vibe from Zensation, DJ X,-cess and Dj Jedi plus hopefully a 3rd release on the way from Vibes & Hattrixx - plus some jungle on our Underdog Recordings label from Dark Dean & Hankinson & Ghost Unit - Test Presses will and releases will always be available exclusively first at defstar.co.uk @returnofthevibe on fb"

Book recommendation:: 'RIOT' by Stephen Jaydell


'RIOT' is is set in London in 1981, the summer we remember the Brixton Riots, and loosely based on real-life event. Amazon would call it “fact-based-fiction”.




Words by Stephen Jaydell


'RIOT' is the eagerly anticipated pre-qual to the critically acclaimed 'RAVER' released last summer. 'RIOT' follows three inter-linked stories leading towards the night that changed England forever, the 1981 Brixton Riots.

We follow Devon, (hero/anti-hero from the 'RAVER' book), a mid-twenties part time scrap-yard worker and casual drug dealer who lives for dub reggae, nightclubs and girls, while avoiding the attentions of National Front anarchists. Ducking and diving his way through the south London underworld we see him inadvertently turning police informant on a city-slicker, white-boy-wanna-be-gangster, kicking off devastating chain of events.

We also follow John, a Cambridge graduate and recently graduated Police Officer who, after completing his policing course at Hendon, is mysteriously promoted and immediately posted to Lambeth Division. Tasked with resolving the growing ‘community issues’ in Brixton, he wrestles with the culture of the Metropolitan Police and machinery of Government and his own social construct. He discovers the inter-connected influences that would eventually result in the deployment of a stop and search strategy known as Swamp ’81, and eventually the largest and most devastating outbreak of public disorder the UK has ever seen.

Lastly, we follow Devon’s teenager brother, Marlon, struggling with girls, growing up, (fast), and fighting with rival gangs. His failed attempt at settling a long-running feud with a neighbouring gang ends with him fearing for his victim’s life and his own future. On the eve of the riot, his victim returns with horrific consequences.

If you remember seeing the riots on TV, or if you have watched any footage on Youtube, the story will definitely resonate with you. The soundtrack, (yes, as in 'RAVER', it has an iconic soundtrack), is a heady mix of dub-reggae, new romantics and ska.

Although based on real life events, (some very gruesome!). 'RIOT' is a story about life, and what it was like to grow up in London during the 1980s, which was awesome, but also overwhelming (personally I was 10 years old when the riots kicked off). Coming out if the 1970s, the 80s was a time of violent protest, or standing up for ourselves and fighting against the political elite, it was also a time when electronic music was created and hit the main-stream, giving rise to house, techno, drum and bass and hardcore – it was indeed a time for massive change.

'RIOT' is available on Amazon right now as a paperback and also Kindle.

The third book in this trilogy is called 'YUPPIE' and is set 5 years after 'RAVER' in 1994 New York City and follows the post-rave journey of Paul Devons best friend who features in both 'RAVER' and also 'RIOT', as he develops his career in high finance with money, women, money, hip-hop, money, sex-clubs, money and lots and lots and lots of crack cocaine.

'YUPPIE' will be released later in the summer.
