[KM33] Vital Link - New Dawn EP [Kemet Records 12" Vinyl Pre-Orders Available Now!!!]

A1 - Human Being - The Box (Vital Link & DJ Shadowplay Remix).

A2 - Man Child.

AA1 - Code 64

AA2 - Jungle Life.

Cornerstone jungle label, Kemet continues on with their recent onslaught of red hot releases with the forthcoming 'New Dawn EP' from London and Brighton based junglists Vital Link (aka Leeroy Silk and DJ Disrupta) up for pre-order now. Composed of four massive, contemporary jungle cuts to end 2016 with a BANG!!!

We are first introduced to Vital Link and DJ Shadowplay's reconstruction of Human Being's 1993 underground anthem 'The Box'. Which sees the original's sinister piano melody and iconic 'Hellraiser' samples merge with crisp, rolling breaks and a menacing Reese bassline to create a tearing nuskool jungle update. The mood shifts in a more uplifting direction with the soulful stepper, 'Man Child' with it's combination of gentle guitar licks, soothing vocals and warm bass notes backed by a full-on, head-nodding breakbeat.

The flipside kicks off with 'Code 64' , a punishing barrage of rugged 'Scottie' breaks coupled with a monstrously heavy bass riff peppered with aggressive rap snippets and dialogue ripped from the from the lycanthropic, horror flick, 'Dog Soldiers'. 'Code 64' is a track that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go!!! The EP is then brought to it's conclusion with the mellow vibed 'Jungle Life'. A classic '94 era jungle styled skank out, which expertly blends together soothing female vocal sighs, classic ragga samples, rolling Think breaks and elements from Roy Ayers legendary 'Everybody Loves The Sunshine'.

If you have a hankering for that timeless, original oldskool jungle sound enhanced by 2016 production techniques, then Vital Link and Kemet more than deliver the goods with this massive four tracker.

Copies of Vital Link's 'New Dawn EP' 12" vinyl are available to pre-order now from the official Kemet Records webstore for £11.50 (plus P&P). Digital copies will be available to purchase on 16/12/16.

CUT002:: FRINGE "Feel The Power Remixes" (NINJA CUTZ)

Canadian Hardcore Junglist like FRINGE was one of the essential producers involved on the latest "Strictly Nuskool Vol.2" Album delivering his powerful 'Feel The Power' tune, which has been reworked in various ways and consists a great remix package on the second release from a fresh label in the scene like NINJA CUTZ!

FRINGE, who's been also signed on KODE 5, HiHeadz, Switchblade Digital and involved on a 7th Storey Project's vinyl release, is signed as a Ninja reworking his 3yr old tune, as it was originally made that time ago, including also some special features of established Jungle & Breaks producers like Mystery & Kosine, X-Nation,KeeZee, DJ Hybrid, Vital Link, Ikon-B & Crisis.

'Feel The Power Remixes' is out now and available to buy from the very interesting NINJA CUTZ store, having some good merch inside. Worth checking it out. [click here]

In overall, this is a proper Jungle & D&B release with big names inside, as NINJA CUTZ have started pretty well their progress, promoting mostly the Jungle sounds and aiming to sign some great soldiers in the scene!

The album includes 10 very different versions of Sacred's classic track and covers many styles from D.I.B. Dub's pumping bassline house reworking. RenegadeGenius, Unknown Artist, Leonized, Pursuit, MsPrim and Nicky Allen & Mystery providing light to dark hardcore breaks remixes. And with Vital Link and Sound Shifter's offering two tearing drum & bass revisionings.

All this is backed up by Jam 1 and RG's digital recreation of the 1993 'Do It Together (Remix)' by Sacred.
