Club Labrynth - Once Upon a Time - 36th Birthday (12th October 2024)

 

The legendary Labrynth turns 36 this year and they celebrate an enormous anniversary at 93 Feet East on October 12th from 2pm until 12am.

"On this very special day we intend to present every type of “Rave” inspired music from Club Labrynth days gone by, Oldskool, Hardcore & House inspired. A true and accurate day of choons from back in what was an unbelievable and amazing time, You really had to be there to understand exactly how good it was, A movement that changed everything for the better, from those days early days of securing warehouses and then followed by our almost 8 years of residence at the four aces club in Dalston Lane, alongside many a night at various other London venues.
The party will be our last event of 2024, And our aim will be to fill your soul with the music that inspired a whole generation of change in British culture, Banging choons that just made you want to get up and dance the night away, Expect Oldskool heaven for those that know and appreciate the past." -

SUBB SELECTIONS Vol.2 | Ark X & Duburban, FFF, Dj Sofa, Aeon Four & Esc [SUBB9610]

 




Helsinki based Straight Up Breakbeat present their brand new and second in a row 'SUBB Selections'. The second volume delivers another round of bass-heavy, breakbeat-driven jungle tunes. This 4-track LP picks up right where the first left off, showcasing some of the best in contemporary bass-bin-rattling, tweeter-breaking sounds.

Aeon Four’s seminal 'Respect', gets a fresh, bouncy rework from Ark X & Duburban, injecting new energy into the duo’s jungle classic. Not to be outdone, the Finnish brothers, Aeon Four, return the favor to Esc with their remix of 'Black Tiles,' giving the track a new twist while staying true to its roots.

However, the energy doesn’t stop there. The prolific DJ Sofa steps up with 'Step Up', a dark and heavy homage to the mid-90s jump-up style reminiscent of The Ganja Kru. Meanwhile, the Dutch don FFF cranks things up a notch with 'The Limit,' a fast-paced, rave-ready anthem that’s destined to dominate dance floors.

With four slices of jungle packed into a 12" vinyl, 'SUBB Selections Vol. 2' is a must-have for fans of modern jungle, blending the raw, nostalgic sounds of the past with a fresh, forward-thinking edge. Get your copies now, while's hot!

Jerome Hill-Looming Large EP



Jerome Hill drops a raw four track EP of Jacking Techno.'All my Friends' is a ruff slice of Ghetto/Baltimore infused House with a freaky, funky bassline.'New Beat' is quite literally a track in the style of Belgian Proto-Rave with pleasingly dark riffs. 'Dog Booty' is bumping Techno with distortion and yes, dog woofs and it's an absolute beast of a tune. 'Blip Trick Track's is a rather naughty slice of Electro with a dash of innuendo. All in all, a great EP that fits nicely into a wide variety of DJ sets.

Sempra - Set Me 3 / Dance With U




John Bass Scoops needs no encouragement to rep the sound of any Bristol (according to BC) UK based artist working in the bass n breaks arena . So what a proverbial gift from da gods to get an early listen of Sempra’s latest release - now out on his Bandcamp via  link below and of course on various streaming options.

LINK HERE!

It’s a self release on his own Bandcamp . An artist like Sempra has the stones/credibility/fanbase to pull this off “sans labelo Rodney” …as we say in the trade. (Editors note  - watching only fools n horses reruns doesn’t constitute modern music journalism Scoops). This two tracker is  described by the man himself as "paying a big large and in charge  homage to 90s piano rave and happy hardcore! "

 

With a good size back catalog  across jungle, UK Garage, DnB and  breakbeat genres dating back to 2019 Sempra is  no flash in the pan, he has a  certified proper repertoire to draw on. Releases on quality labels and support from big name DJ’s provide a reputational quality kite mark to the standard of his work, so I opened the promo with high expectations. 

 

So, to the tunes, well first up we have Set Me 3. It is  a 90’s piano driven breakbeat  leaning hardcoreesque smasher. This tune ticks a lot of boxes for you all dear breakbeat’rz. We are treated to "almost" chipmunked vocals (this is a nice touch in terms of production over pastiche) ,with a refrain that gives the tune its name, skittery breaks, 4x4 kick, big piano chords and lead riff; and a catchy bass line. Nice stuff indeed.

 

Dance With U, on the “virtual” flip starts off as a more full on affair, just the right side of donk kick, heavily phased/akai’d breaks and a vocal hook that evolves from a pitched up take to the downright soulful. After a few listens , this was the releases tune of choice that drew me back in with its lovely almost indiscernible morph from a bit of a donk’y affair at the start  to a quite delightful and emotionally uplifting tune by the end. I could imagine this being a beautiful set closer to a fully luv’d up night dancing with friends somewhere sunny.

 

So there you have it, well recommended bizness, do check it out.

 

Until next time dear breakbeat’rz. John Bass Scoops.
