[Dark Til Dawn Records] FOTH - Dolphins In My Brain [Available To Download Now!!!]


1/ The One That Makes Me Scream.
2/ High Noon.
3/ Dolphins In My Brain (Digital Pilgrimz Remix).
4/ Dolphins In My Brain (Msymiakos Remix).
5/ Dolphins In My Brain (Rad Rod's Remix).
6/ Dolphins In My Brain.
7/ Outer Spacious.

For their latest release, Dark Til Dawn Records enlist the talents of FOTH to produce a mammoth seven track EP, the quizzically titled 'Dolphins In My Brain' featuring three exclusive remixes of the namesake track by Msymiakos, Digital Pilgrimz and 2Brainz' Rad Rod.

FOTH kicks off the EP with the electronica influenced 'The One That Makes Me Scream', with it's fusion of lush, Boards Of Canada style synth washes overlaid with soothingly soulfull vocals driven by an energetic, yet unfussy breakbeat. The hazy, psychedelia tinged 'High Noon' layers a fusion of looped pianos, gorgeous ambient pads and self-realisation movie dialogue, with rolling jungle percussion and bass blasts. Am gonna be making an obscure observation here, but if you can imagine the works of Odd Nosdam, if he made jungle instead of dub themed ambient drone!

The Digital Pilgrimz step up to the plate for the first in a series of remixes of  'Dolphins In My Brain', and they deliver a hypnotic, ascending, pad melody accentuated by reggae style trumpet blasts and chiming synth notes over a hard-hitting Think break. Msymiakos' remix follows next, which sees him incorporating a gentle, chilled melody over some marvelously intricate drumwork, heavyweight, tear-out amens and rude bass. The third in the trilogy of 'Dolphins In My Brain' remixes comes from Rad Rod, who takes us on a journey into darker jungle territory by fusing intensely jittery chopped breaks with heavily reverberated dolphin samples, and a moody vibrato synth melody to get right under your skin.

The original FOTH mix of 'Dolphins In My Brain' drops next in all of it's warped bassline and manic amen break majesty. The EP concludes with 'Outer Spacious', and switches expertly from D&B to jungle tinged footwork, with it's fusion of jittery breaks and chopped female vocals and ambient pads peppered with NASA space flight samplage.

Despite the fact that all tracks featured on FOTH's 'Dolphins In My Brain' EP contain a strong drum & bass/jungle focus on style, the EP also contains a strong element of electronica which suits home listening just as well as being suited for more adventurous dancefloors. The thinking man's jungle/D&B!!!

FOTH's 'Dolphins In My Brain' is available to download now from the Dark Til Dawn Records Bandcamp page link below for $5, or more if you're feeling generous and wish to support .

[Dark Til Dawn Records] Slekta - Jungle Reworked (PT 1) [Download Available Now!!!]


1/ Doves (Jonny 5 Remix).
2/ Rewind To 95 (Rad Rod's Remix).
3/ Doves (Galvatron Remix).
4/ Adventures In 5:4 (FOTH Remix).
5/ Rewind To 95 (Exit Point Rmx).
6/ Doves (Norfik Rewrk).

Dark Til Dawn Records revisit May's Slekta 'Jungle Reworks' EP to add 6 brand new remixes to their discography. Featuring a heavyweight selection of nuskool producers on remix duty, 'Jungle Reworked (PT 1)' is guaranteed to deliver sound system devastation.

'Jungle Reworked (PT 1)' opens with Jonny 5's jazzy tinged, yet slightly sinister amen rinse out remix of 'Doves'. Meshing in jazzy keys alongside ominous, chopped up choir FX over a rolling drumbreak. Rad Rod's frenetic, jungle-footwork revamp of 'Rewind To 95' then incorporates intricately fragmented and spliced breakbeat edits alongside half-speed claps and mashed up female vocals. 

Galvatron steps up next to provide his reinterpretation of 'Doves', where he fuses two iconic breaks (the Amen and 'Angel' break) to accompany an ominous, dark jazz tinged soundscape peppered with classic jungle vocal FX. Slekta's 'Adventures In 5:4' then receives a deeply atmospheric and rolling, drum & bass rework from FOTH, who adds insanely tight amen choppage and sublime bass patterns that could easily match Dillinja in his prime. 

'Rewind To 95' sees another junglistic reworking, this time from Exit Point who takes things right back to the dancefloor with his solid, dancehall bassline meets dub-skank flavoured, jungle/D&B remix. Norfik concludes this collection of remixes with his short but sweet, jazzy, amen break led version of 'Doves' which comes complete with dusty vinyl crackles and spacious, trippy key notes. Altogether an excellent grouping of five unique and varied Slekta revisionings that'll prove essential for both jungle/D&B headz and ravers alike.

The Slekta 'Jungle Reworked (PT 1)' remix EP is available to download from the Dark Til Dawn Records Bandcamp page for the bargain price of $3 (or you can donate more to support to the artists and label if you so chose!!!).
