[PCDS1] Pursuit ‎- Dark N Light ‎[Limited Edition CD Single Available Now From This Is Nu-Rave!!!]


1/ Jungle Karnage.
2/ Just Another Piano Track.

This Is Nu-Rave makes a long overdue return to bring you another of the label's exclusive, CD only release, with Pursuit's Limited Edition 'Dark N Light' single dropping now to deliver some top quality breakbeat hardcore and junglism.

Pursuit hits us up with some 'Jungle Karnage' first by blending together a smooth, string and bird-call led introduction straight out of 1994 which merges with rolling amens, booming bass, ragga vocal snippets and brain searing mentasm snarls.

Heading over to the light side, we are introduced to the appropriately named 'Just Another Piano Track', an uplifting combination of  crunching breakbeats, phat stabs and an infectious "hands-in-the-air" piano melody that's pure unabashed euphoria.

Once again Pursuit has delivered a top notch selection of authentically oldskool sounding hardcore and jungle tracks which will be a must for any lover of the nuskool rave genre. But you better be quick, as limited quantities of this are available!!!

Pursuit's Limited Edition 'Dark N Light', CD single is available to purchase now for £5 including postage and packaging from Pursuit himself - send payment to krspursuit@yahoo.co.uk via PayPal Friends & Family, and leave your Name & Address in the comments for delivery.

[XHR013] Deadly Nightshade - The Virus [6-Track Digital Mini-Album Available To Download Now!!!]


1/ Ghosts.
2/ The Virus.
3/ Event Horizon.
4/ Lucifer.
5/ The Haunting.
6/ A.I.

After unleashing a slew of upfront rave bombs with 'The Entity' and 'Sound Of Summer 3' albums, Xtrahard Records label boss Deadly Nightshade returns once more to take you on a trip to the darkside with the release of 'The Virus' mini-LP.

Our first entry hits us full-on with a barrage of manic breaks, ominous synth melodies and snippets of menacing movie dialogue to give you a moody, 1992 style slice of dark hardcore with 'Ghosts'. A track which ramps up the tension with it's rich tapestry of cinematic, orchestral stabs and brain scouring mentasm riffs to present a perfect taster for the hardcore mayhem that follows. 

Album title track, 'The Virus' opens up to the sound of tribal drumbeats before morphing into a furious melting pot of twisted hoovers, thundering breakbeats and swirling synths overlaid by a pumping, 4/4 jungle-tekno kickdrum.  

Taking us even deeper into the album's dark core, 'Event Horizon' pilfers sinister movie snippets from it's namesake, sci-fi horror flick and combines them with  a series of ruff and rugged breaks, multi-layered stab melodies and a devastating Renegade Soundwave style bassline that'll get your head nodding in an instant.

Things get positively Satanic with the positively demonic 'Lucifer', which expertly invokes doom-laden bass patterns and monstrous rave riffs set to a monstrous hybridisation of rolling oldskool beats and crunching tech-step, breakbeat edits. 

'The Haunting' up next goes all out 1993 style darkside-jungle by utilising sinister, Euro-hardcore rhythmic elements and interweaving them with tearing, 180 mph amens and Beltram-esque mentasms, which are then expertly contrasted by an immensely powerful drop to die for.

We are brought to spine-tingling close with the sci-fi flavoured, techno-hardcore crossover track, 'A.I.', which lures the listener in with it's richly textured opening third which builds itself up to a positively euphoric drop to shed a shard of light to break all the darkness, before descending back once more.

If your darkside hardcore leanings veer more towards the 1992 end of the rave spectrum, then 'The Virus' will more than satisfy your pitch black audio cravings. 

The Breakbeatscientist's pick of the bunch is the lushly sinister 'A.I.'. 

'The Virus' mini-album is available to download now from Deadly Nightshade's Bandcamp page for £7.00, or more if you wish to support the label and artists to fund future releases.

A - Trippin On Beats.
AA - Terminal Velocity.
B - Stay Tuned.
BB - Feel So.

After the overall success of 'Innercore Project Volume 1', the Music Preservation Society is ready to take crowd-funding pre-orders to deliver a second helping of authentic, oldskool hardcore sounds with the forthcoming release of 'Innercore Project Volume Two'.

We are first hit with a manic slice of breakbeat hardcore with 'Trippin On Beats', jam-packed with all of the required elements to get you moving; euphoric stab patterns, uplifting pianos, bubblin' 303 acid riffs and chunky breakbeats coming straight outta 1992.
Up next Innercore takes on a trip to the darkside with 'Terminal Velocity', a heavyweight, amen break fuelled jungle tekno number infused with brain searing mentasms, bouncing Tango & Ratty-esque bass throbs and razor-sharp stabs to put the 'fear' right into you. 

The flipside sees 'Stay Tuned' drop an ecstatic piano melody on the intro before hitting you with a juggernaut of rush inducing riffs, overlaid with rugged breaks, booming bass and a choice selection of oldskool hip-hop scratches and vocal snippets.
We are then brought to the EP's conclusion with 'Feel So', a track which raises the E-lation bar to maximum with a flurry of rushy, female 'Oooohhs' set to an emotive piano section that's guaranteed to get all hands raised in the air, or your money back!!!

The Innercore Project proves that hardcore is well and truly alive and well with this stellar selection of upfront, contemporary rave tracks. If the spirit of 1992/1993 rave flows through you then you will need this 12" in your collection!!!
