'Space' by KAM-BU

 

One of those tunes that have directly spoken inside us.

It's all about 'SPACE', one of the recent bangers off 'BUILT 2 LAST' which is the latest EP of the 25th Southwest Londoner KAM-BU

"Crisp drum breaks, driven basslines and his signature hooks, 'SPACE' is everything you want from a rap/jungle hybrid, slotting in effortlessly as a ripping club tune built for massive soundystems. 'SPACE' is a unique departure from the eerie ambient realms of his Leon Vynehall produced single ‘Are You On’, marking a new chapter in the growing artists repertoire of sounds."

Pillz 003

It's time for another instalment of mysterious Breakbeat Hardcore mash-up mayhem from the clandestine rave cut-up maestro simply known as 'Pillz.'

https://pillz1.bandcamp.com/album/unknown-pillz-vol-3

A long, long time ago, back in the days of giant raves in fields, there was a series of Hardcore Rave mash-ups known as the 'Energizer' series. If you know that series, you will instantly love the 'Pillz' series, now in it's 3rd instalment. 

'Cutting Up Samples' cuts up tunes like Yolk's 'Bish Bosh', Foul Play's 'Feel The Vibe' and Rhythm For Reason's 'Grand National' with countless other much loved tunes of the era. But the term 'mash-up' is perhaps a little unfair as each section of this track and indeed all the the 'Pillz' tunes have been replayed, not sampled and even then, tweaked and fine tuned. It might be better to refer to these tracks as originals, influenced by the oldskool. 

'Cutting Up Samples' is loaded from start to end with scratch samples, chopped up vocals and so many variations on the quintessential rave formula, you won't be able to keep up, but you will enjoy trying!!! 

'Listen To The Sample' chugs along with more of your favourites (and so many of them!). There's more of a Jungle/Jungle Tekno leaning on this one but there's absolutely no let-up! Five minutes and 15 seconds approx of rave lightning in a bottle!!!! Order your vinyl copy via the link above

Listen to Mark Archer's debut show on KOOL FM

Few weeks ago the living legend of Oldskool Rave the man like Mark Archer from Altern 8, made his debut show on KOOL FM. The result is totally outstanding as expected, moreover it's one more lesson from an established professor of the ravekind.

The name of Mark's show is 'Warehouse Days of Glory' and you can catch him up live every Tuesday on 13:00 (BST) on the 'reborn' and invigorating KOOL FM.

Dan Muteki is back: 'The Rot EP'

Newcastle based nu-rave don, Dan Muteki is back after a while with a new weapon comprised of two fresh bursts of breaks artillery fire. This is 'The Rot EP' and it's just...splendid!

'The Rot' is a 135 bpm drive and feels like a brooding explosive threnody for a crumbling cultural empire. Growling bass, a tortured choir and machine-gun breaks. Then comes 'Human Soldier' is a bittersweet plea for sanity on 131 bpm. Melodic and moody, underpinned with a heavy break and emotional vocal moments.

Definetely one for your digital library and if you're fancy to hit amy fresh sophisticated tune to your sets. Worth every penny!

Who is who
Dan Muteki is from Bristol (UK) but is now based in Newcastle upon Tyne. He's been making electronic music for nearly 25 years and has been putting out releases since 2010. He deals in detailed, hard-hitting breakbeat styles - rave-inflected, riff-driven and soaked in the sampling tradition.
As Muteki, he made a slew of releases in the Hardcore Breaks genre for the Cue Burn Digital label in the early 2010s, before moving to self-releasing via Bandcamp - starting with the thundering debut LP This Is Normal in 2017. A cascade of two-track EPs have followed, flying the flag for breakbeat rave but also making jolts into the underground Breaks genre.
