[PTDUB002] Engineers Without Fears / DJ Rap / Lavery - Propa Dubs Vol 2: Spiritual Aura [Limited Edition 12" Vinyl Available To Pre-Order Now From Propa Talent!!!]


A1 - Engineers Without Fears - Spiritual Aura (Original Mix).
B1 - DJ Rap - Spiritual Aura (Get Raw Mix '94).
B2 - Lavery - Spiritual Aura (Jungle Mix '18).


DJ Rap has long held the title as a bonafide Queen of the jungle since the birth of the scene, and has in turn created many an undisputed anthem over the years, none more iconic than her collaboration with fellow Engineers Without Fears member, Aston Harvey. 
For the Propa Talent label's second vinyl release, DJ Rap presents 'Propa Dubs Vol 2: Spiritual Aura', which sees the original drum & bass blueprint receive a crisp remaster alongside Rap's very own, mid-nineties remix and Lavery's brand new 2018 re-imagining.

We are first introduced to a veritable template for the emerging intelligent jungle / drum & bass scene, with Engineers Without Fears' 1993 classic 'Spiritual Aura (Original Mix)', a highly potent blend of rapid-fire breaks, undulating bassline and soaring pads accented by luscious female vocal sighs which expertly combined both rough and smooth elements to create havoc on the dancefloors during the early nineties and beyond. 

One year later we were introduced to DJ Rap flexing her solo production skills to deliver an epic, amen break driven rework with the 'Spiritual Aura (Get Raw Mix '94)'. A fierce slice of precision crafted jungle which focused more on tight drum-programming and booming bass as opposed to the more euphoric original mix prior.

To complete the collection we are presented with a tearing 2018 update from Sub Code Records founder, Lavery who drops his ruff and rugged 'Spiritual Aura (Jungle Mix '18)', which reverently pays homage to the Golden days of jungle with it's use of layered amen and 'Think' breaks, whilst adding contemporary production values into the mix.

As there has been a musical shift in recent years which has seen the original, authentic jungle and drum & bass template revisited and expanded on by new producers. There is no better reason to get your hands on this exquisitely remastered piece of musical history.   

DJ Rap's 'Propa Dubs Vol 2: Spiritual Aura' 12" vinyl is available to pre-order now from the Official Propa Talent webstore for £12.00 plus postage and packaging, and comes with an exclusive, singed DJ Rap photo. 'Propa Dubs Vol 2: Spiritual Aura' is expected to be ready for delivery from 09/10/18. But you better be quick, as these are strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide and are expected to fly out the door!!! 

(EDIT - as of today there are now only 50 copies left so do not hesitate!!!).

Q&A with DJ REVIVE (+ fresh 4track EP - exclusive free DL)




We wouldn't say he's new to the scene; this lovely man has made a digital 4track EP exclusively for the Strictly Nuskool while completing all 4 tracks even quicker than his usual 165bpm speed.
Get to know DJ Revive from UK, the man who showcases his talent for a modern Happy Hardcore.





(Interview & Editorial by GL0WKiD)






- How long have you been into production and what inspired you starting your own tunes?


I have been into production since 2001 when I made my first tune with DJ Impact from FBI Recordings and always after being in the studio I thought it was time to invest into some studio gear.

The inspiration in wanting to make my own tracks was that I had many ideas I wanted to put into my production and the only way for me was buying studio gear and putting into practice.

- When was your first release ever?

My first ever official release was back in 2006 a track called “Get Your Damn Hands Up” by myself and my good mate Duffy. It was released on Wide Eyed Digital and even that track was full of oldskool stabs and a piano line from congress.


- What's your favourite genre in producing?

Favourite genre to produce is 94-96 hardcore.



- What equipment are you using in your production?

I use Reason 10 for production and a variety of plugins.




- What is the best experience from your Oldskool rave days?

My best experience from my rave days was going to Club Kinetic and I know it’s cliche to say but for me it was the best atmosphere and sound system I heard! Time machine needed please!!


- Can you give a little introduction deep into your new EP on Strictly Nuskool Blog?

This E.P which I have done for Glowkid represents my sound of what I personally like to hear in raves and a sound which in my opinion cannot be beaten for having that feel good factor! The more people producing it the better.



- Any closing message for the Nuskool Hardcore fans and readers of this blog? 

I would like to say a big thanks to Glowkid, The Lowercase, DJ EZC from Hardcore Will Never Die, Beeno for all the support and giving my music airtime and last but not least Insane & Mind for releasing “Thru The Nite” on NuVision Records! Keep your eyes peeled for my next release “Drop The Beat
” & future releases on 4 The Core Records (Bigup Mark!)
