The Jungle Warfare Recordings label may only be one year into it's inception, but for their fourth outing, they are pulling out all the stops with the release of the 'Dark Force Rising' album destined to do some serious speaker damage. Featuring a stellar line-up of the most ruffneck, underground jungle and drum & bass artists this ten track collection will be an essential buy for all headz out there.
The album kicks off with Abstract Illusion who drops a double dose of percussion heavy, junglism with the heavyweight, break-fest that is 'Drums Of Bane' and 'Rock Darth-Unky Beats', a tearing fusion of expertly sliced amens, warped bass and classic, Chuck D vox.
Up next Rez takes things back to the oldskool with the dark, sci-fi inspired 'Strangers', which combines rolling jungle breaks with menacing rave stabs, whilst 'Esoteric Funk' evokes the spirit of late nineties drumfunk, as exemplified by the likes of labels such as Reinforced Records.
BattleDrone takes to the stage next with 'Lost Transmission', a track which could easily be mistaken as a lost dubplate from a Grooverider mixtape, circa 1996. On 'Obliterate', BattleDrone offers his his own unique take on the mutated bassline, techstep formula.
On 'Space And Time' by MAC-V, the listener is taken into a desolate, jungle soundscape with it's use of sweeping pads overlaid with rugged breaks, while 'Napalm You Tonight' follows a more traditional, jungle route with it's crashing breaks and punishing bassline.
D.K.Ritual brings the album to a close with his deep, yet razor-sharp, amen break workout, 'Amnesia' alongside production partner S.Kid, before going solo on the hauntingly, sinister Reese bass driven roller, 'John'.
If your musical passion stems from the rough and rugged sounds of of mid-nineties, jungle pirate radio stations and murky drum & bass events, then the 'Dark Force Rising' will tick all boxes for you. A must have purchase!!!
