[KLP012] DJ QT - Rock Dat E.P [Forthcoming On KLP Records 22/02/16!!!]

1/ Rock Dat.

2/ Pleasant Surprise.

3/ Jungle Riddim.

4/ Sugar Coated.

For the latest KLP Records release, the label welcomes DJ QT to the KLP artist roster with the presentation of the 'Rock Dat E.P'. Featuring four solid slabs of nuskool jungle and dancefloor orientated drum & bass, it's time to get the sound systems prepared for sub bass devastation!!!

'Rock Dat' takes us back to a time when jump-up reigned supreme, and junglists and drum & bass heads alike would loose it to the sounds of cheeky hip-hop samples, rolling amen breaks and thundering, funky-assed basslines in murky night club basements or massive rave arenas. Bringing that classic 1995-1996, jump up formula right up to date, 'Rock Dat' is sheer unadulterated and unashamed, dancefloor joy. Up next, 'Pleasant Surprise' opens with a trippy combination of retro movie dialogue and a hypnotic, chiming melody, before unleashing a barrage of breaks and an unrelenting, bouncing bass. 

We once again go back to the oldskool and drag it into the present with 'Jungle Riddim', which introduces a series of off-kilter, disorientating effects before that stepping, 'Jungle Riddim' of phatt bass notes, clattering breaks, dub FX and airhorn blasts hit ya. To round things off we are then presented with 'Sugar Coated'. A track driven by a relentless breakbeat pattern, sweet, female vocal sighs, soulful guitar licks and an infectiously huge, 'twanging-rubber-band' bassline to get yer feet jumping.

Altogether, there may not be much 'chin-strokey', 'my sub-genre is more clever than your sub-genre' show-boating going on in the 'Rock Dat E.P', but DJ QT achieves exactly what he set out to do, and that is to get people brockin' out!

DJ QT's 'Rock Dat EP' will be available from all KLP Records digital stockists from 22/02/16, so if you're wanting to keep up on upfront, dancefloor orientated jungle then get on this one before everyone else does!!!!

[KLPR011] Various Artists - Sound System Culture EP [Forthcoming From All Good KLP Records Digital Stockists 23/11/15]

1/ DJ Hybrid - Dubplate Sound.

2/ DJ Monk - Gotta Rock.

3/ DJ J.T.M - Squeeze.

The legendary jungle veteran, DJ Monk presents the Strictly NuSkool Blog with an exclusive promo of the forthcoming KLP Records release, 'The Sound System Culture EP'. Featuring a trio of heavyweight, junglist anthems from DJ Hybrid, DJ J.T.M and KLP head honcho, the DJ Monk himself.

The 'Sound System Culture EP' opens in a stepping fashion with DJ Hybrid, who brings out the 'Dubplate Sound' with reggae trumpet flares accompanying Reese bass drones, militant 2-step breaks,  and a ragga vocal that will soon become the next junglist 'call to arms' shout out!

DJ Monk then follows up next with 'Gotta' Rock', which fuses together menacing bass growls over a hypnotically moody bassline, all set to a massive rolling breakbeat. 'Gotta Rock' is further accentuated by hip-hop samplage and ragga chatting ordering the listener to 'rock', 'twist' and 'listen to 'dis', as if they would need any encouragement to! 

The DJ J.T.M rounds off this jungle triptych with a head-nodding, reggae vibed number entitled 'Squeeze', packed full of rude-boy bass, air horns, solid breaks and inspirational speech from the legendary reggae/dancehall ambassador, David Rodigan. 


The 'Sound System Culture EP' will be available from all KLP Records digital stockists from 23/05/15. Be sure to follow the links provided below to keep up to date with previous and future DJ Monk/KLP releases...
