'Tear My Heart':: The new 12" record by Club Glow


Let's focus on Club Glow.

Call it a label or rave night; it's something extraordinary to draw your attention and gain your support. You can tell that it's actually the result of the new breed of rave hailing from different places and music cultures such as Sheffield, Bristol and London. In simple words, one of the UK's finest and brightest crews at present.

The team consists of Borai, Denham Audio, Mani Festo and LMajor who's the key player to launch their first release for 2022. London based producer, DJ, one half of Local Group and essential stalwart of the Club Glow collective, the man like LMajor is working his socks off the last couple of years and a good row of tracks have shown the safe way to this great new record.


'Tear My Heart' EP reminisces the good old days of 1992, as noteworthy to mention that this year we're running the 30th anniversary of the UK Breakbeat Hardcore eruption. A sound that's still resilient and you can simply have a listen to this impeccable 4-tracker of freshness in case you're at crossroads.

We're dealing with the third 12" Vinyl release from the Club Glow imprint and it's a fair introduction to this '92 contemporary revival. A great amount of infinite breakbeats all around will tear your heart from happiness. In addition to that, the title track is known off the Club Glow takeover shows on Balamii Radio - fans that stand next to this gang are already aware of this aspiring new dish.
Also, not to sit out on tracks like 'Energy', that's premiered through DJ Mag Soundcloud page. Drawing on sample vox from Cutback and Federal’s ‘Rock To The Rhythm’ coming among his dominant rave stabs, LMajor has put the greatest highlight of this record in our humble perspective. And there's even a great collab between himself and Decibella joining forces for a heavyweight and hot breakage.



'Tear My Heart' EP is out on 4th February via Bandcamp and selected physical stores.
Make sure to act fast and grab your copies now from the link above:

Introducing:: BINO (UK)


Focus on BINO (pronounced Bin-oh)

The alias of Gary Binden from UK. One more proud addition to the prolific British Hardcore scene and a wizard of exquisite tunes. Not young enough inside the game, you can get that 90's feeling easily off his tracks." I've been producing Hardcore non-stop for the last couple of years or so, I did put together a couple of tunes way back in 1994, but they never saw the light of day, I think I still have them on tape somewhere?!"

His project name derives from his surname Binden as well as his nickname BIN or BINO at his school years back then. It's also his graffiti tag as he's also an active graffiti artist for more than three decades. As most of our friends producers, he's got into music from a very young age because of his Dad. "The first record I bought was 'Jack Your Body' by Steve Silk Hurley, that would of been 1987-88, so I would of been 11 years old. At that time I was into Hip Hop, but I soon changed my allegiance to House & started listening to any Pirate Radio that played House/Dance. I was born & raised in East London, so tuning into Pirate Radio wasn't a problem." - remembers BINO as he rewinds his memory back in the day. 
"Around 1990, breakbeats were becoming more & more common, which I loved! The birth of Hardcore for me was 1990, people used to describe the new breakbeat House sound as Hardcore House & by the summer of 90 the House part was dropped & the rest is history. The two tunes that absolutely blow me away at that time & still do were Meat Beat Manifesto - Radio Babylon & Renegade Soundwave - The Phantom!"

BINO started raving in 1991 at the age of 15 and his first rave was the legendary Raindance. Showing a mad respect to the era between 1990-1993 and labels such as Reinforced, Suburban Base, Moving Shadow, XL, Shut Up & Dance and J4M, the man like BINO has recently released a smashing 12" Vinyl EP through Hardcore Vinylists Recordings. A joint EP alongside Zhute, which is his first official vinylized work and you can grab your copies on the link above.



"I loved every aspect of the scene - listening to only Pirate Radio - Fantasy Fm, Pulse FM, Kool FM, Impact FM Unity FM to name but a few. Record Shopping - Boogie Times, Music Power, Black Market, Unity! Flyer collecting & of course raving - Raindance, Fantasia, Roller Express, Tasco Warehouse anywhere we could dance we were there! 'Flatliners' by Nebula 2 is probably my all time fav tune"


 

For more inside his Hardcore Breakbeat, Jungle and even Techno majesty you can follow his Bandcamp page as there are countless of tracks in there. Of course one of them Nuskool soldiers to watch, sign and play out...
BINO reppin it!

Introducing:: KEEF (UK)


As aforementioned, when it's about the new year it's also the 30th anniversary of the established UK Breakbeat Hardcore that took over the planet in 1992.
The golden era of 90s Rave that a great amount of 'secret' and unknown talents were also experimenting with production, but never grabbed the chance or were lucky enough to release anything. "I've been producing as a hobby since 1995, never released anything to label and always kept to myself of mates" says the Kent based producer KeeF. 
He's a good example that has been shining since the lockdown days productionwise, taking the right inspiration from the Oldskool scene. "I was lucky enough to be around the rave scene since '93 and I think most of my influences are from raving at Elevation/Reincarnation, Desire, Dreamscape and of course World Dance at Lydd Airport. I like to produce old skool style tunes that I think bring that vibe back - bit of hardcore, bit of darkside and done also a few jungle tunes."

"I've started on Cubase, Atari ST and a Roland sampler. I now only use Reason 12. I like to stick to the one DAW I know and learn it inside out. Don't have much hardware apart from the midi keyboard, I'm a VST aholic."
Suffice to say that it was a matter of time after a good row of releases on his Bandcamp page to get a massive remix for Sonic Fortress '91 Remixes compilation, doing a banging rework on 'Dancehall Dangerous' by Hackney Hardcore. Same time (not in 1991 though) came Section 63 Recordings and signed his first official Extended Play release.
But the action doesn't stop here. There's also a forthcoming EP of him on 459 Recordings early of this year and couple of other tracks featured on various compilations,


The Section 63 Recordings crew have a knack for digging up new school classics within their release catalogue, with this brand new four tracker from KeeF being a perfect example of that metric. We begin with the catchy vocal reloads and hardcore melodic jitters of 'Brainstorm', a fitting title track, laced with original breakbeat flavour. Next, the hardcore piano stutters and sweeping bass tones of 'Believe' keep the energy levels high, before the more shaker-driven drum slaps of 'Double Trouble' give us a more more organic feel, still of course uitilzing those classic spacey pad textures to maximum effect. Finally, 'Newson Knows' switches between lo-fi drum sampling and higher ranged vocal slices to give us a pretty outstanding exploration of the original breakbeat sound, with the constantly switching drum designs rounding off this EP with a smash.


Keef is very excited with the whole feedback already received from the community of Nuskool Hardcore and he can only promise massive bangers for the near future. Beware of that.
"The current scene for Nu Skool tunes is fantastic at the moment and I have to give a big shout to all the djs that suppport my tunes on their radio shows, a lot of them are not massive named DJs but they have been representing the scene for years, without these home DJs we'd be nothing. Shouts to : DJ HAT, vers-e-tyle, DJ Break Doctor, Dj Deluxe, Brent @ Vinyl Fanatiks, Robin @ MPS, Hardcore Vinylists Team, Guzi @ Section 63 Recordings, Ollie at 459 Records and of course GLOWKiD and the team at Strictly Nuskool Blog for doing such a great job of representing this fantastic scene."
His brand new EP is out now under the title 'Brainstorm' and you can buy/stream it on the link above. We can assure you that you will be very stoked listening to these smashers inside! One for your collection from a man that came to stay with us all delivering more releases and highlights.

Four Jacks Vol.2 [12" Vinyl & Digital]

 



If there could be any last signature of the successful Hardcore-ish 2021, be it with this record..


In days of instability, the creativity within the scene has never failed productionwise.
A great example is the South Londoner DJ and producer, Boca, who has returned with an ultimate new arsenal of dark slams. And to be precise, the second installment of Four Jacks is arguably the strongest ever release by this great talent.
Loads of emotions floating around when you play this record. Boca is one of those artists that can easily capture the ecstatic vibe of British Breakbeat Hardcore. Hands down!

It's an ode to the darkness with massive breakbeats and rave stabs, as it speaks deep inside your soul. We cannot set any higlight track from these 3 big hardcore breaks plus the good surprise of 'Cracked Kids' burst on a Juke/Footwork style. On the latter, he experiments on a style that's been on the front of the underground and you should be aware of that.
The 'Four Jacks 002' Vinyl EP, evocates the best times of the oldskool and the vibe is so intensive that will set up an optimistic new year, which is the 30th anniversary of British Breakbeat Hardcore.

All in all, we're very honoured and delighted getting records like this one and spinning tracks like these. 'Four Jacks 002' is available on a limited run of 12" Vinyl plus digitals on the link above and soon in other major stores. Worth every single penny to this great label.
