[KLPR005] DJ Monk - Stick Em Up / Gimmie Some More - Part 1 / Get Raw [Available To Purchase Now From KLP Records!!!]

A - Stick Em Up.

B1 - Gimmie Some More - Part 1.

B2 - Get Raw.

After a slew of rock solid, contemporary jungle, digital releases, DJ Monk takes another look into the K.L.P. Records D.A.T. archives to unleash another selection of Golden Age, mid-nineties jungle for the vinyl massive. Rewinding back to 1994-1995, DJ Monk presents his latest limited edition, three-track 12" single 'Stick Em Up / Gimmie Some More - Part 1 / Get Raw'. 

The EP opens to some ruffneck, gangstadelic junglism with the Paris sampling 'Stick Em Up', a track which effortlessly fuses together a rugged Think and Amen break percussive backing with a head-nodding bassline, rugged rap retorts and soulful female sighs to devastating effect. 

Up next we are introduced to the jazzy, saxophone led opening notes of 'Gimmie Some More - Part 1', which soon mutates into a tear-out, amen roller packed full of iconic oldskool female vox flavoured with turntablist scratch FX

The collection is brought to a close by 'Get Raw', a track packed full of scuttling breaks, massive Reese bass notes and Big Daddy Kane's no-nosense rap vocalisms to create a perfect marriage between rave culture and East Coast rap.    

If the turning point from ragga junglism to rap flavoured, dancefloor orientated  jump-up brings back fond memories to you, then you cannot pass up on this piece of K.L.P. Records jungle history.

DJ Monk's 'Stick Em Up / Gimmie Some More - Part 1 / Get Raw' Limited Edition 12" single is available to pre-order now from the official KLP Records Bandcamp page for £11.99 (plus postage & packaging).

[KLPR005] DJ Monk - Stick Em Up / Roll On [Unreleased Oldskool Jungle - Limited Edition 12" Vinyl Pre-Order!!!]

A - Stick Em Up.

AA - Roll On.

After overseeing a slew of rinsing, nuskool jungle anthems, DJ Monk returns to the KLP Records vaults to dig out some more unreleased oldskool jungle gems with the forthcoming release of the Limited Edition, 'Stick Em Up / Roll On' vinyl single remastered from Monk's personal D.A.T.s.

We kick off with rabble rousing 'Stick Em Up' on the A-Side, which features a tearing Think/Amen break backing coupled with pummeling bass hits, soulful female R&B samples and the infamous Black Panther civil disobedience message. 'Stick Em Up' proves to be a perfect example of rowdy, rudebwoy junglism with a few touches of musicality to smooth things off nicely.
On the flipside, 'Roll On' sees a mellow, G-Funk melody flow into rugged, stepping breaks and a rumbling bassline complete with a sprinkling of classic oldskool scratching to create a minimal, yet expertly crafted slice of head-nodding jungle.

On listening to 'Stick Em Up / Roll On' and previous KLP Records unreleased vinyl releases, it makes me wonder why on earth these D.A.T.s were left gathering dust for so many years, yet overjoyed by the fact that DJ Monk has been able to bring them back to life 20 years on from their creation for a new lease of life on wax.

Limited to only 100 copies, the DJ Monk, 'Stick Em Up / Roll On' 12" vinyl single is available to pre-order now from the KLP Records Bandcamp page for the bargain price of £9.99 (plus P&P). So if you're an oldskool jungle, vinyl enthusiast then you better get on this one quick before they all go!!!

[KLPR004] DJ Monk - Hold Me / Dreams [Unreleased Oldskool Jungle - Available In Digital And Limited 12" Vinyl Formats Now!!!]

1/ Hold Me.

2/ Dreams.

Jungle veteran DJ Monk has dug into his DAT collation once more to unearth two more unreleased and remastered KLP Records jungle gems, circa '94-'95. 

The bouncy basslined 'Hold Me' kicks off the proceedings with a chunky, stepping break interspersed with rolling amen edits accompanied by a combination of rugged rap and soulful R&B samples to create a classy slab of jump-up jungle. 
'Dreams' opens with languid, jazzy guitar licks and seductive female vocals on the intro before dropping a massive, hard-stepping breakbeat pattern peppered with choice Public Enemy samples and an all enveloping, booming bass-throb melody to the mix.

Despite the term 'jump-up' receiving a lot of negative commentary from some of the more chin-strokey members of the Jungle/D&B communities, DJ Monk's 'Hold Me / Dreams' shows exactly why such well-crafted jump-up was such a huge success in terms of creating dancefloor devastation back in it's 1995-1997 hey-day, and deserves the attention that other elevated forms of high BPM breakbeat based music receive.

DJ Monk's 'Hold Me / Dreams' is available to purchase now in a variety of digital formats from the KLP Records Bandcamp page...
