[WJEP014] Raket - Winter 2018 [Wicked Jungle Records, Beatport Exclusive Available To Download Now!!!]

.

1/ Raket - Sacred Vine.

2/ Raket - Bangarang.

3/ Self Aware - Da Bronx (Raket Remix).

The Strictly NuSkool Blog catches up with long running digital jungle label, Wicked Jungle Records, which unveils it's brand new 3-track EP, the aptly named 'Winter 2018' EP by long running contributor Raket.

We are first introduced to some spiritual jungle flavours with 'Sacred Vine' which weaves together an infectious blend of rolling breaks, jittery percussive elements and a full on, near 4/4 bass pattern alongside snippets of mystical chanting. You wouldn't be forgiven for assuming that 'Sacred Vine' is in essence, the 2018, evolution of early nineties jungle tekno with it's relentless energy equally balanced by it's languid elements..

Up next we have 'Bangarang', which delivers a deep and airy, pad driven intro before hitting us with a potent combination of dreamlike, descending/ascending synth melodies, booming bass pulses, and snappy, layered breakbeats, culminating in a hypnotic blend of electronica and D&B. 

Finishing off this triptych of forward thinking beats and bass, Raket takes on fellow Wicked Jungle label mate, Self Aware for a mean and moody refix of 'Da Bronx' by effortlessly welding together snippets of gangsta-delic, rap from the original mix onto an ominously atmospheric, drum & bass backdrop.

With this release both Raket and Wicked Jungle Records prove that they are not afraid to push the very boundaries of jungle and drum & bass with his ability to create unique music that isn't afraid to stand out from the crowd. 

The Breakbeatscientist's top pick... 'Sacred Vine'!!!  

The Raket 'Winter 2018' EP is available to download now, as a Wicked Jungle Records Beatport Eclusive for 2 weeks before going on general release to all good digital download stores...

Heavy herbsman vibes permeate through 'Roll Mi Joint' which utilises Rastafari vocal snippets combined with deep, cavernous bass pulses and 2-step breaks creating a truly immersive and ominous jungle/tech-step hybrid.

Bringing the EP to a close, we have 'The Struggle', a deep  stepper with a message, which deftly interweaves relentless 2-step beats with an enveloping, subsonic bassline set to an inspiring snippet of social commentary dialogue which perfectly reflects the strife generated by the political climates of today.

The original Jungle Warrior, Bay B Kane is back with another selection of deep and atmospheric, jungle breaks with the release of the sixth instalment in his long running series of 'Future Destination' EP's on Boomsha Recordings. 

The B.B.K. sets the mood with the sweepingly, sub-aquatic 'Clearly Obscured', which expertly weaves deeply undulating, synth melodies with rolling two-step breaks and a mammoth bassline. 'Dimensions' up next delivers a series of soulful, female vocalisations which are soon joined by a punishingly heavyweight amen break and rattling percussive elements.

Bay B Kane joins forces with JahKillin to "resurrect" an iconic, millennial trance riff on 'Don't Ask Me Why', and gives it a stepping, junglistic makeover creating a perfect blend of the rough and the smooth. We are next presented with 'Overlock', which places ghostly, female vocal repetitions over increasingly frantic breakbeat layers and monolithic bass notes.

The EP is book-ended by the melancholic blues meets boombastic jungle fusion that is 'Visions', where a mournful piano melody and soulful male vocals clash with rugged beats and bass, which culminates in an all-out amen assault.

With over 25 years of junglistic musical experience under his belt, Bay B Kane shows no signs of slacking when it comes to pushing the boundaries of breakbeat and bass exploration. So make sure you grab your copy of 'Future Destination Exit 6' to discover what the master has in store for 2017!!!
