 Coolness: 97150 | When the going gets tough, the tough get dial-up.
Sorry for the long delay, internet access is something new and exciting for me all over again.... Believe me the timing couldn't be any better. Truckloads of vinyl this week. [DRUM & BASS] Bulletproof - Have U Ever/Change Me on Random. More brand new material from the land down under. Bulletproof rock the disco tip on the a-side and quite well I might add, but the real flavour here is on 'Change Me'. Pure neurofunk for you tech-heads. Various Artists - Jungle Sound -The Bassline Strikes Back LP on Breakbeat Kaos. I can't believe you don't own this album yet. you know how I know that? Cuz you're still reading this badly written review! You're looking at the album of the year right here people and you don't even know it yet....check out what you've been missing: Pendulum - Masochist Adam F& TKO - Circles VIP 2000 Adam F & TKO - Therapy DJ Fresh - Hear My Voice DJ Fresh - Living Daylights DJ Fresh & Pendulum - Kingston Vampires Future Prophecies - Dreadlock Dillinja - You Can't Touch... The Upbeats - Slit/Fill Me In on BC Presents. I know you haven't heard of these guys....yet. That's the great thing about labels like these. When you buy BC, you know you're buying the best, top choice drum & bass, no filler. That fact is, Bad Company have made very few bad choices throughout the years and there's no reason to doubt them on this twelve. Solid beats and bass right here, circa 'Inside the machine' era bad co. DJ Hype, J Majik & Wickaman feat. Daddy Earl - Dubplate Killa/Look To The Future on Ganja. Hot collaboration biznizz! Infrared's big daddy J Majik joins forced with the original True Playa. Add vocals from the incomparable Daddy Earl and you've got the making of a biiiiig bass thumper, very reminiscent of Metrosound....on steroids! DJ Ink - The Joint EP on Renegade Hardware. All I gotta say is, this guy definitely smokes a lot of weed man. Dirty drums and pounding bass, in a Dylan stylee. No crazy stand out tunes, but no shitty ones either. Check the heavier then heavy Spirit remix of 'B-Boy Convention'. SKC & Safair/Chris Su - Gonzo/Sublime on Orgone. Hungarians are taking over man! Seriously though, these guys are in top form everywhere. All 3 of these cats alongside Longman and Bratwa make up Tactile, the ultimate dancefloor destruction crew hailing from Budapest. Check the hard tech business on 'Gonzo' for the Foufs crowd, or flip it for some hot vocal fuelled tech-funk that will rock ANY crowd. Krust - Follow Da Vision/Paper Monster on Full Cycle. The lone bass warrior comes with his hottest tune in ages and keeps it straight and simple. Some might criticize Full Cycle for putting out some boring tunes, and I'm the first to admit that...but when you've got a good loop going, sometimes it's best to just let it ride, and that's exactly what this tune does. Sweet. Total Science - Prozac (Q Project Remix)/Chicken Lips on CIA. Nice new material from the dynamic duo, this one being a sampler for the forthcoming album 'Good Game'. Let's face it, either you like these boys or you don't, and this single won't change your mind. But you know what, I bet the album will turn a few heads, I personally think it's the best thing they've done in the past few years. Noisia/Noisia + Milo + Prolix - Mindstorm/Timechaser on Shadow Law Ltd. If you though Muffler was busy lately, you ain't seen nothing yet. With this being one of many hot singles forthcoming from this Dutch trio. I definitely prefer 'Timechaser' here....very funky vibes and a killer second drop make for a memorable record all around. Keep your eyes peeled for more new Noisia tunes coming on Fokuz Ltd, Citrus, and of course the jaw-dropping 'Vanishing Point' coming soon. Nightbreed - Pack Of Wolves (Pendulum RMX)/(Matrix RMX) on RAM. Damn...and you thought metal 'n bass was dead! Ok, maybe it is, but you can't deny a heavy rock 'n roll influence on this tune. Pendulum obviously rip this thing apart, duh. Matrix however applies a slightly more subtle touch and provides an excellent alternative to the earth-shattering standout. There's also a limited copy of the original version of 'Pack Of Wolves' available on 7" red vinyl for you collectors out there. Rodney P - Trouble (Roni Size Remix) on Riddim Killa. Roni adds his midas touch to yet another brit hop joint, using the vocal sparingly in the intro and keeping it simple yet dancefloor effective. Ok...it's not that good. Sorry, I just feel I have to try and say something nice about EVERY tune, but sometimes I just can't. This one's mediocre at best. Crystal Clear - No Sell Out/Reactive on Sonix. What's with everyone still loving this new wave jump-up stuff? Didn't we used to laugh at how Aphrodite's tunes all sounded the same? Well have a listen boys and girls, it's happening again! While this tune benefits from having excellent production and a decent vibe going on, it simply doesn't bring anything new to the table. Teebee - The Legacy LP on Subtitles. While Future Prophecies album was split up into 3 parts, Teebee's not one to let you pick and choose when it comes to his material. It's all or nothing here, weighing in at a nice 4 discs, the good news is this album is very solid. The 'Liquid Light' remix lives up to the hype, as does 'Sick!'. The only downside is perhaps that all these tunes are very much in the same vein, but hey, that's what we like him for right? Consistency. Tali - Airport Lounge (Artificial Intelligence RMX)/(Freestylers RMX) on Full Cycle. A.I. can simply do no wrong at the moment, with tunes on V, 31 Records, Commercial Suicide, heck, they've even done a remix for house hero Eric Prydz (Slammin!). Now they come and fix up what I think is one of the worst tunes on Tali's album. And what an excellent job they do, getting rid of most of the terrible vocal and of course fixing the fact that the original isn't even at d&b tempo, and you've got a winner. Too bad I can't say the same for Freestyler's terrible breakbeat rework. Tactile - Spade/Helloween on Avalanche. More hot material from Hungary. Excellent dub fusion going on all over this record, these guys have really honed their skills, showing how they can flex on any style with ease. Both sides of this record have that classic Digital & Spirit vibe going that seems to be all but gone from today's drum & bass. Keep your eyes peeled for more new tunes from these guys on Function and Inneractive. Various - Uprising EP Vol.1 on Uprising. Concord Dawn take a chance with their label and try to showcase some up and coming talent with the double-pack of hard d&b. France's own Le Lutin starts things off with one dark twisted tune called 'Bande De Bouffons', and newcomer Mindgame make a nice debut with 'Red Queen'. Sketchy (one part of Rawthang) shows some excellent funk fuelled tech-step on 'Satisfaction'. But the real standout here is the completely unpronounceable Oxy.Gen tune 'Czemu Gdy' remixed by Simba, which simply must be heard to be enjoyed....hands in the air! High Contrast - High Society LP on Hospital. Love him or hate him, High Contrast has definitely changed the way we look at drum & bass. This album further provides us with dancefloor ammo and some really sweet home listening stuff too. I highly suggest picking up this LP, even if you're only mildly interested in this thing we call jungle, grab the CD and have a listen. You'll be a blue dog punter in no time. Jammin - Kinda Funky (Shimon RMX)/Go DJ (Zinc RMX) on Bingo. Shimon adds the much needed RAM flavour to this record and is absolutely on fire right now! With a much anticipated remix on the way for the one and only DJ Hype as well, you'd think the True Playaz camp knows something the RAM boys don't eh? Both sides are solid as a rock. That's it for know, cuz my fingers are BLEEDING. As usual, all these records (and many more!) can be found at DNA Records, you're one-stop shop for Drum & Bass, Electro, House, Techno, Breaks, Hip Hop, and limited edition Jordan Dare wind-up dolls.
