Ever since ravers were first teased with exclusive dubplate mixes and low pressed rarities, there has been a huger for fans of breakbeat hardcore, jungle and drum & bass to identify and track down these rarities. Now more than twenty years on from the Golden Era of hardcore and jungle, those lost classics are now even more sought after. Thankfully, due to the endeavors of labels such as Keeping Vinyl Alive in collaboration with Parallax Recordings, these seemingly lost in time, oldskool gems now get their chance to get their chance to shine.

For Keeping Vinyl Alive's sixth release in conjunction with brand new official, rare and unreleased oldskool hardcore, jungle and drum & bass label, Parallax Recordings, the two labels present the On 1 Crew's 'On 1 Crew EP'.

Opening with the LTJ Bukem caned 'Bad Dreams', a hugely atmospheric 1993 hardcore/jungle track which appeared on the elusive 'Let Em Ave It EP' on Bump Records and features the now infamous Newt from 'Aliens' dialogue sample. The 'On 1 Crew EP' then introduces the first of three previously unreleased tracks, starting with 'Bad Dreams (The Lost & Found Remix)', also from 1993, which introduces more junglistic elements to the mix with it's darker opening section and focus on rugged, stepping breaks, to create an excellent alternative version to the original.

1994's 'Dreams Of Java (Different Story)' takes us into deep jungle territory, by combining lush soaring pads, rattling breakbeat percussion, booming bass alongside classic Candi Staton vocals. 'Looking 4 Love', from 1995 closes the EP in an equally atmospheric fashion fusing sweeping, jazzy synths over a restrained, stepping break and soothingly seductive female vocals.

The 'On 1 Crew EP' lovingly collects together one lost classic from yesteryear alongside three previously unheard and unreleased tracks to get any vintage jungle enthusiast frothing at the mouth. As well as proving to be a taster of what is yet to come from the two officially licensed, oldskool repress labels Keeping Vinyl Alive and Parallax Recordings.

The On 1 Crew 'On 1 Crew EP' has been remastered from the origianl D.A.T. recordings by the legendary Beau Thomas and Ten Eight Seven Mastering and Cutting services, and is available to pre-order now for the price of £10 (plus postage & packaging) from the Keeping Vinyl Alive webstore via the link below, with an expected release date of January 2016. So get your orders in to get your hands on some ultra rare and unreleased pieces of jungle history!!!

[HCRD026] Billy No Mates - Until Morning EP [AVAILABLE FROM ALL GOOD DIGITAL STORES NOW!!!]

1/ Until Morning.

2/ No Choke.

3/ The Count.

4/ Black Magic.

 

HC Recordings are back again to tantalise your eardrums and get your feet moving, and this time they have recruited the junglistic talents of new signing, Billy No Mates for the brand new 'Until Morning EP' 4-tracker.

With the namesake track, 'Until Morning' opening up the EP in a deep jungle fashion and featuring eerie pan flutes on the intro, stepping breaks, a killer bassline and classic vocal samples. 'Until Morning' is a perfect blend of darkness and light and for the dancefloor and the mind. Up next is the contrastingly lush and ruffneck sounding 'No Choke' which evokes memories of 1993-1994, as if the combination of atmospheric and rudeboy production styles had never died. To close off the EP, 'Black Magic' takes us into a trip to the darkside with ominous synths, bone-chilling breaks, monstrous bass throbs and horror movie dialogue samples.

On 'The Count', Billy sends us on a more rave-tinged trip with the infamous 'Terminator' break, classic rave riffs and a massive dub horn section. Sample spotters will be in ecstasy discovering historic vocals as used by the likes of Skanna in here. 

Heavily steeped in 1993-94 jungle and dark hardcore influences, and blended with current production techniques the 'Until Morning EP' is essential listening for all oldskool and nuskool hardcore junglists and is available from the following digital music stores below (and more)...

After an absence of around fifteen years, the original oldskool hardcore and happy hardcore label, Kniteforce Records makes a long awaited return after being defunct from producing single releases since 1998. No that label owner Chris "Luna-C" Howell has been keeping quiet all that time. Chris has since revisioned and rebranded the label's musical philosophy as premier breakbeat hardcore, breakcore, jungle, gabba and freeform hardcore providers as Kniteforce Again in 2001, alongside the Kniteforce Digital and KFA labels. As well as writing his own autobiography within the rave industry and producing an excellent (and unexpected) folk rock album under the moniker of Reeve.
 
Chris explains that the reason for revitalising the Kniteforce Rcords brand is to release new music in a similar style to the previous incarnation (to "be as Kniteforcey as possible!"). Which means loads of rolling breakbeats, kick drums, booming basslines, ravey stabs, euphoric pianos and helium diva vocals. The label also hopes to encourage some of the artists from back in the day to make a return with new music and has already has releases from Luna-C and Kingsize & Vibena in the works.
 
The 'No New Ideas E.P' features 3 brand new Cru-l-t tracks (the man Chris Howell himself) which will be available for sale digitally and as a 3-track MP3 download.
 
KF61 is also available as a specially extended and limited edition 11 track CD album featuring 8 remastered oldskool Cru-l-t classics from Kniteforce's back catalogue in addition to the 3 brand new tracks. This includes [KF004] 'Krull EP', [KF009] Poosie & Cru-l-t's 'Knite In Paradise / Hear Me Hear Me' from 1993 and [KF013] 'Latch The Door / I Can't Take The Pancake' from 1995.  Making the CD edition an essential purchase for oldskool enthusiasts. Purchases of the CD edition of the 'No New Ideas E,P' album come with a download link for WAV copies of the album as well as some "other stuff' to be disclosed at a later date.
 
The album is available to purchase for $9 from the Kniteforce Revolution Webstore link below as are clips from the 3-track E.P.
