[DEAD002] Silkenator - Trapped / The System [12" Vinyl Only Single Available From Dead Beat Records Now!!!]


A - Trapped.
AA - The System.

After a year and two months after it's last emergence had passed , a stirring in the darkness has occurred and Dead Beat Records has returned from the void from which it was banished, to unleash it's second, vinyl only outing. This time it's the Silkenator (aka Worldwide Epidemic) who takes the helm with the release of 'Trapped / The System', two essential slices of jungle techno  straight from the darkside!!!

First up we are presented with the sounds of 'Trapped's deep, and sinister opening pad sounds to install a pertinent sense of dread in the listener, before unravelling a succession of skittish breaks and pounding, 4/4 kicks to get drive the track on. The moodiness is amplified by the inspired use of choice 'Cloverfield Lane', sci-fi-horror samples and a pad driven drop to die for making this a futurist, darkcore gem that'll be a go to for any self-respecting jungle techno fanatic.

On the flip-side, 'The System' continues on with a similar "trapped", sci-fi theme by welding together snippets of dialogue from 1997's 'The Cube' with a relentless combination of kicks and breaks, backed by enveloping, dark pads and bubbling, synth riffs. 'The System' effortlessly creates an atmosphere of pure tension, leaving the listener entrapped within it's own rhythmic maze.

We may have had an long wait for Dead Beat Records' comeback, but with the Silkenator in tow, our patience has well and truly rewarded. Do not hesitate on pick up your copy, as there are only 100 of the out there!!!

The Silkenator's 'Trapped / The System' , 12" vinyl only single is available to purchase exclusively from the Demonic Possession Recordings webstore for the absolute steal of a price, £7.99 (plus P&P).

[CRTNPR 022] Various ‎- Something Something / Shackles / Muted Colours / 13th Chapter [12" Vinyl Available To Purchase Now From Criterion Records!!!]


A1 - Tactical Aspect - Something Something.
A2 - ADM - Shackles.
B1 - Polarity - Muted Colours.
B2 - Furious & Paragon - 13th Chapter.


It's been way too long since I last checked out the latest from Criterion Records, and what a release to drop in at with 'Something Something / Shackles / Muted Colours / 13th Chapter', which features contributions from some of the hottest underground jungle and drum & bass producers out there at this moment in time.

Leading the charge we have production duo Tactical Aspect, who present to us their retrospective, amen-jungle rinse-out track 'Something Something', which sees frenetic breakbeat edits do battle with a thundering bassline and 1993 style, Reinforced Records style atmospherics. 
ADM up next also utilises fierce amen manipulations with 'Shakles', a track which sees the iconic break sliced, diced, filtered and time-stretched to oblivion and coupled with cavernous, moody bass drones and dark, Blue note era mentasm snarls that'll send shivers up your spine for sure.

The B-Side sees Polarity takes us into deep, intelligent jungle territory with 'Muted Colours', which sees us treated to a rich fusion of luscious pads and vintage female vocal samples (shades of Omni Trio here) layered over intense drum work and gentle bass pulses to wash over your soul.
To round off this collection we have Furious & Paragon's '13th Chapter', a glacially cold blend of pitch black pads, interlaced with heavily reverberated vocal effects, ten-ton, tearing breaks and punishing, bass heavy synth riff which conjure up visions of a monstrous behemoth, destroying everything in it's path.

If you consider yourself a connoisseur of deep, and intelligently crafted drum & bass soundscapes, combined with intricate breakbeat programming, then this latest release from Criterion Records will be an essential addition to your collection.

The 'Something Something / Shackles / Muted Colours / 13th Chapter' EP is available to purchase now from the official Criterion Records webstore for €10 (plus postage & packing).
