[SCR006] Krave - Revenge EP [12" Vinyl & Digital Pre-Order Available To Purchase Now From Sub Code Records!!!]


A1 - Part 4.
A2 - Revenge Remix.
B1 - Run It... Cos Dis Is How We Roll.
B2 - Untitled.

Up and coming producer, Krave has seen his distinctive, authentic jungle works grace a plethora of labels over the past two years, including the likes of Amenology, Dark Til Dawn, Phatt Bubba, Supercharger and Switchblade Digital. This November sees the his debut vinyl and digital appearance on the mighty Sub Code Recordings, with pre-orders for the 'Revenge EP' available to purchase now.

First up we are introduced to a heavyweight round of hip-hop flavoured junglism with the Biggie Smalls and KRS One sampling 'Part 4', which combines crunching breaks with '90's rap vocals and jazzy sample flourishes set to a booming 808 bassline to get your head nodding in appreciation.
Up next Krave drops a punishing barrage of rolling, sliced and diced amens on the 'Revenge Remix', a 1995 style jungle belter jam-packed with ragga vocal snippets and cavernous, Reese bass drones that'll get any sound system shaking.

On the flip we are hit with a hard hitting Soul Pride meets 'Scottie' breakbeat workout with 'Run It... Cos Dis Is How We Roll', a frenetic slice of expert level drum programming interspersed with Cypress Hill horns and spine-tingling diva vox to inject a little of soul to balance out all the ruffness.
'Untitled' rounds off our quartet of jungle gems with a veritable 21 gun salute of rapid-fire Think breaks and machine-gun amen snares, paired with soothing pad washes and an infectious, bubbling bassline.

Over the past few years Krave has proven himself to be a producer to keep your eye on, and with the 'Revenge EP' he shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. An essential purchase for anyone who loves their 1994-1995 jungle!

The Krave 'Revenge EP' is available to purchase in both vinyl and digital formats from the official Sub Code Records Bandcamp store, for £11 and £5 (vinyl orders come with a free digital copy also), and are expected to be ready for postage around 01/11/18.

[BOOM00065] The Ad-vanc3d - Threshold For Peace [Available To Download Now From All Good Boomsha Recordings Digital Stores!!!]


1/ Below The Threshold.
2/ Peace Mission.
3/ Reconnaissance.

Boomsha Recordings and The Ad-vanc3d take us on a musical journey back in time taking inspiration from the Golden era of atmospheric jungle, with the release of the exquisite three track EP, 'The Threshold Of Peace'. 

We are first introduced to the soothing sounds of 'Below The Threshold', which expertly combines a succession of soaring strings and intricate piano melodies with gentle, undulating bass notes and heavy, rolling amen breaks to create a perfectly balanced track of both light and dense textures. 

On 'Peace Mission', the mid-nineties "artcore" vibe is well and truly alive with it's mesmerising blend of stepping Apache breaks and uplifting, future funk elements resulting in an unique fusion of vintage Metalheadz and Good Looking flavours.

To round off the EP, The Ad-vanc3d takes us on a deep 'Reconnaissance' mission into drum & bass territory, capturing that pivotal moment in jungle's history when the music developed from being throwaway dancefloor fodder into a true art form.

With the 'Threshold Of Peace' EP, The Ad-vanc3d delivers a superb contemporary snapshot of atmospheric jungle/drum & bass at it's 1993-1994  cusp of musical maturity. An essential pickup if the likes of early Peshay, DJ Crystl, J. Majik appeal to your musical sensibilities.

The Ad-vanc3d's 'Threshold For Peace' EP is available to purchase now from all good Boomsha Recordings digital stockists.

[Dark Til Dawn Records] Msymiakos - Liquid Gansta E.P [Available From All Good Digital Music Stores On 20/05/15]

 
1/ Wannabe Gangsta.
2/ Danger Zone.
3/ Liquid Metal.
4/ Era 1994.
5/ Liquid Metal (Rad Rods Remix).
6/ Wannabe Gangsta (FOTH Remix).
7/ Liquid Metal (XIVIX Remix).
 
Thundering junglistic breakbeats fused with booming sub bass is not the first style of music that you'd associate with Norway. However resident Norwegian junglist, Msymiakos has been a staunch supporter of roughneck drum & bass sounds since he first began producing music back in the mid nineties. Preferring to keep things as close to the sounds of the Golden Era of jungle as possible, Msymiakos continues to use Amiga-style tracker software to this day to retain that authentic feel to his music. Which is all too evident with his first release on the Dark Til Dawn Records imprint, the 'Liquid Gansta E.P'.
 
Containing four original works from Msymiakos himself and three remixes, the 'Liquid Gansta E.P' opens with the ragga and gangsta rap vocal-tinged 'Wannabe Gangsta', which combines soothing synth washes with tearing chopped up amen breaks as if it was still 1994. Using some cheeky modern, animated comedy sleuth samples, 'Danger Zone' follows on in a similar fashion by upping the percussive elements on the breaks to create  stepping track for those who love their edits.

The first of 3 mixes of 'Liquid Metal' drops next, fusing mellow jazzy flourishes in the intro into a veritable barrage of breaks, culminating in a guaranteed hardstep anthem. Watch out for the 'Champion Sound' vocal sample! 'Era 1994' does exactly as it says on the tin and recreates 1994 jungle's obsession with mashed amen breaks, rudebwoy vocal snippets and bass throbs to a tee.

Rad Rod (one half of  Conquest Recordings 2Brainz) steps up to the plate to give 'Liquid Metal' an overhaul, welding on manic, fractured breaks to manufacture a drum-funk heavy remix. 'Wannabe Gangsta' sees FOTH at the controls with his lushly atmospheric yet rinsing, amen based remix. Lastly comes the 'Liquid Metal (XIVIX Remix)', which draws the EP to a close with a bassline which would make Dillinja, circa the mid-nineties, acknowledge that he has serious competition.

If you had serious love for the oldskool jungle sound of the '90's then the 'Liquid Gansta E.P' comes highly recommended.

Quantum Progression Audio's Bright Lights provides an excellent taster of Msymiakos' 'Liquid Gansta EP' to whet your appetite...
