[INVSN018] Mayel - Apache Remixes [Available To Download Exclusively From Beatport Pro!!!]

1/ Apache (Alerstorm Remix).

2/ Apache (Maniatics Remix).

March's devastating 'Apache EP' by Mayel receives two storming makeovers from Spanish drum & bass Titans, Alerstorm and Maniatics for the brand new release from Invasion Recordings, the 'Apache Remixes' single.

Looming over the horizon first we have the 'Apache (Alerstorm Remix)', a deep and deadly slice of razor-sharp, sc-fi style neurofunk, backed by crisp, 2-step breaks and pumping bass pulses. Conjuring up images of some kind of sleek, yet lethal Japanime mecha laying down laser-fire over a war-torn, future battlefield.

Coming in for reinforcement, Maniatics delivers his industrial, tech-step reinterpretation of 'Apache', which immediately hits you full-on with a punishing series of ten-ton breaks before blindsiding you with a monstrous, twisting mid-range synth riff that'll get your neck-hairs standing to attention.

If you consider yourself as a purveyor of dark and heavy neuro D&B, then you need the 'Apache Remixes' in your collection!!!

Mayel's 'Apache Remixes' single is available to download now as a Beatport Pro Exclusive before going on general release. So get on it quick before everyone else does!!!

[BOOM00057] Bay B Kane - Future Destination Exit 5 [Boomsha Recordings 2 Week Beatport Pro Exclusive Release!!!]

1/ On Your Mind (feat. Sam Serenader).

2/ F. Society.

3/ Care For Me (feat. Kyra).

4/ Fly With Me (feat. Lily Garcia).

5/ Ghetto Yout.

Undisputed jungle veteran Bay B Kane alongside Boomsha Recordings presents the fifth installment of Kane's long running series of 'Future Destination' EP's. Featuring five intricately crafted jungle tracks, spanning all styles from vocal driven, liquid funk to deep, dark and heavy amen rollers, 'Future Destination Exit 5' is set to deliver a diverse set of breakbeat workouts to satisfy even the most discerning of junglists out there.

The lazy, soulful and jazzy sounds of 'On Your Mind' kicks things off, with the sultry vocals of Sam Serenader manipulated into an hypnotic series of repetitions set to a relaxed liquid backbeat with an amen break sting in it's tail. 'F. Society' rolls in next and contrasts trance inducing, atmospheric pads and choral motifs with rumbling bass thumps and an aggressive, pitched down amen break roll out.

The immersively exquisite 'Care For Me' blends together the classic, 'intelligent' yet dancefloor friendly elements of vintage jungle, tinged with touch of melancholia which is further enhanced by the deep and yearning vocals of Bay B Kane's daughter, Kyra. Lily Garcia lends her lyrical 'call for freedom' to 'Fly With Me', which fuses together a gentle guitar lick and piano melody with rugged, hardstep breaks and thundering bass booms.
The EP is drawn to an impressive close with the rambunctious 'Ghetto Yout', a blend of sliced, diced and pitch manipulated jungle choppage driven by a massively, infectious bass rhythm and rebellious, ragga chatting.

After over two decades entrenched in the jungle music scene, Bay B Kane proves that he is still isn't done with showing the world what wonders he can do with a breakbeat.


The Bay B Kane 'Future Destination Exit 5' EP is available to purchase now as an exclusive Beatport Pro pre-release for before going on general release to all digital download stores in 2 weeks time...

[BOOM 00055] X-E-Dos - The Book Of X-E-Dos [Boomsha Recordings Presents 11 Track Album Exclusive To Beatport Pro!!!]

1/ The Book Of X-E-Dos.

2/ Relentless.

3/ Science Fiction Future Tech.

4/ This Is Your Future.

5/  Born Old.

6/ Axis Of Revolution.

7/ Dub Objection.

8/ Feel.

9/ The Abyss.

10/ Ode To History.

11/ Those Eyes.

Boomsha Recordings welcome the return of veteran  drum & bass producer, Ex-E-Dos, who previously appeared as a member of The Collective, Serve Chilled and Ice Minus groups and on labels as diverse as Hard Leaders, Tech Itch Recordings, Bacillus, Audio Couture and Rebelscum. 'The Book Of Ex-E-Dos' marks the release of X-E-Dos' debut solo album with eleven works of intricate drum programming and deep. It's time for the Strictly NuSkool Blog to open the book...

The album's self-titled epic opener, 'The Book Of X-E-Dos' sets the pace with a frantic barrage of layered Apache breaks and amen inserts, humming bass notes and brain-searing mentasm riffs, before being joined by the warped bassline and rapid-fire breakbeat percussion of 'Relentless'. We are next introduced to the deep atmospherics of 'Science Fiction Future Tech' which layers classic Soul Pride breaks with ominous, sighing pads and electrifying oscillations. 'The Warriors' sampling 'This Is Your Future' steps up to the plate next by incorporating a militant succession of drumwork before unleashing a filthy bass drop in the latter third of the track.

The pace relaxes a touch with 'Born Old', which features layered techno/trance synth notes over a minimal beat pattern which is soon succeeded by the ominously moody and vintage tech-step sounds that penetrate 'Axis Of Revolution'. The classic dub vocal sampling 'Dub Objection' features next  and is propelled by a heavyweight, stepping breakbeat and deep bassline growls before introducing the frenetic, clattering breaks, panic alarm synth pattern and deep bass throbs of 'Feel'. 

'The Abyss' takes us on an exhilarating ride where high energy, 2-step beats do battle with a massive, grimy bass riff to get your feet moving and head nodding. We are then treated to a veritable homage to classic rave tunes with 'Ode To History', which expertly blends together elements of classic oldskool anthems from the likes Holy Noise, Mental Overdrive, Sonz Of A Loop Da Loop Era, Tone Def, DJ Blatant & The Master Programmer, Krome & Time, 2 Bad Mice, Orbital and many others for the spotters to identify. To round off the album we are taken by X-E-Dos for one more trip into dark and moody territory with the amen break and monstrous bassline infused 'Those Eyes'. Which ensures that 'The Book Of X-E-Dos' ends on an energetic note.

X-E-Dos succeeds in his goal to implement the use of classic breakbeats into modern drum & bass productions to create an essential collection of bass heavy tracks for both the mind and the feet.

'The Book Of X-E-Dos' is available to purchase exclusively from Beatport Pro for 2 weeks before going on general release to all digital download stores...

[BOOM00053] Darkhalf - Forged EP [Exclusive Beatport Pro Pre-Release Available To Download Now!!!]

1/ Wage War.

2/ Forged.

3/ Your Mind.

4/ History Repeats Itself.

5/ Uncle Frank.

Taking a quick break from my usual reviews of 170bpm junglistic/D&B breaks, we have the latest release from Darkhalf, the 5-track 'Forged EP' from long established fore-runner of the future jungle/140 jungle scene, Boomsha Recordings.

From the very start it appears that we are going to be taken on a deep and darkly atmospheric journey with the 'Forged EP', with the cinematic opening track 'Wage War' fusing ominous pads with confrontational movie dialogue over rugged, stepping breaks and enveloping Reese bass notes. It's closely followed by the 1993-style darkcore infused, 'Forged' which interlaces dark and menacing pads and 'Ansthasia' stabs over a rolling, down-pitched amen break and thunderous bassline to create a real neo-darkside anthem for 2015.

'Your Mind' strips things back to provide a frenetic, junglistic breakbeat workout set to a dubbed out bass pattern and accentuated with sci-fi soundbites, while 'History Repeats Itself' once more leads us into into darkness with a menacing, descending synth notes accompanied by a 'tin-pan' percussion and growling bass throbs.'Uncle Frank' sees Darkhalf close the EP in spectacular style through the implementation of haunting film score and dialogue from my personal favourite S&M-themed, demonic '80's horror flick. Before we are introduced to a raucous breakbeat and thumping bass melody. A perfect combination of ethereal wind instruments and roughneck drum breaks.

Darkhalf expertly weaves together a deliciously sinister, yet equally atmospheric collection of tracks to satisfy both the mind and the feet with the 'Forged EP'. But be warned, it is not for the faint-hearted. Strictly for the true darkside warriors only!!!

Darkhalf's 'Forged EP' is available to purchase as an exclusive Beatport Pro pre-release, before it hits all major digital download stores in 2 weeks time. So jump on this quickly before everyone else does!!!

[MR002] Liam Taylor - Break It EP [Beatport Pro Exclusive Pre-Release Available Now!!!]

1/ Break It.

2/ Hells Bells.

After the release of their debut release last month, the Music Rascals label strikes while the iron is still hot with their second release, the 'Break It EP' featuring the very talented Liam Taylor.

Liam sets the ball rolling with the hypnotically atmospheric drum & bass number, 'Break It' which incorporates contemplative yet slightly ominous pads alongside stepping breaks, down-pitched bleepy bass throbs and a wicked, oldskool repeated 'Break it down time' vocal.
It's companion piece, 'Hells Bells' utilises a classic chiming melody instantly recognisable from an Invisible Man anthem and overlays it with a frenetic, yet simplistic break and manic amen combo complete with expertly timed reversed edits. 

Both tracks capture the essence of 1993's hardcore/jungle crossover perfectly by contrasting soothing atmospherics with intense breaks and booming basslines whilst at the same time effectively introducing modern production techniques to the mix. Liam Taylor is one to watch out for!!!
