It's been a while since I last checked out Dark Til Dawn Records output and man have I got lots to get caught up on, and that's not even touching on Dark Til Dawn's brand new footwork sub-label, Broken Soles (be sure to check that one out all footwork freaks!). To get things started here's a rundown of the latest four Singles Of The Week...
1/ Deadly Nightshade - Predator.
Kicking off with this weeks' release from Deadly Nightshade (aka hardcore breaks supremo, Abzolution), who brings you you a serious slab of deep, dark and nasty nuskool jungle tekno with 'Predator'. Chock full of frenetically layered breakbeats, ominous synths and a bassline straight outta hell. 'Predator' is destined to provide the perfect sinister soundtrack for Halloween this weekend!

1/ DON4LD - Rain Dance.
Now if Deadly Nightshade was too hectic for you, then DON4LD takes things down a notch with his atmospheric drum & bass with footwork overtones track, 'Rain Dance'. Featuring lush, soothing pads that wouldn't sound out of place on a Good Looking Records track accompanied by rolling amen breaks, heart palpitation inducing bass and half-speed claps. DON4ALD exemplifies the perfect merging the two genres with 'Rain Dance' here!

1/ BC Rydah - Cliq Claq.
BC Rydah up next flings down some future, jump-up, tear-out junglism with 'Cliq Claq', where he incorporates smooth and soulful vocals (including the late and great Barry White) alongside classic rap snippets, intricately sliced and diced amen break edits and deep subsonic bass.
Rydah successfully melds modern production styles with oldskool jungle attitude on 'Cliq Claq' without ever devolving into the stale 'wobble-bassline' debacle that hip-hop themed jump-up did back in the day. Rinsing tune!!!

1/ FOTH - Stone Hill (Sky's The Limit).
Last on the list for my long overdue Dark Til Dawn Records' Single Of The Week update is FOTH's sublime 'Stone Hill (Sky's The Limit)'. A celebration of manic amen breaks and basslines set to the soundtrack of lush, ambient electronica pads and and melodies (as well as a legendary PS1 purple dragon!). 'Stone Hill (Sky's The Limit)' is a highly effective amalgamation of I.D.M. atmospherics and jungle percussion, as well as being an intensely uplifting tune in it's own right. Gorgeous track!!!
