Schoco- Inside My Skin [Boomsha Recordings]

We're a little late with the review on this superb new release from Boomsha Recordings, its a bit of Jungle/DnB from Schoco with 'Inside My Skin', a producer whose sound we are so fond of, exquisite and intricate spacious sounds that leave a lasting impression and really do get inside  your skin albeit in a good way!!! We also get quality Future Jungle remixes from Bay B Kane and Strange Rollers plus some more breath taking Jungle from the one and only Sound Shifter, phenomenally good!!!

Blood/Pixel- Watching You/Tinnitus [Boomsha Recordings]

2 150BPM Future Jungle rollers on the darker DnB vibed edge of the spectrum, Pixel needs no introduction, with previous releases on the likes of Fokuz Recordings and a debut Future Jungle EP on Top Drawer Digital last year, Pixel gives us 'Tinnitus' a hard hitting slice of Drumfunk as a taster for his forthcoming LP for Boomsha. Blood's 'Watching You' certainly shows off this producer's talent, making great company for 'Tinnitus', an equally hard hitting track with great drum edits, 2 tracks to tear things up in your DJ sets!!!

Cryogenics- My Personal Demons [Boomsha Recordings]

Back in 2013 under the name 'Ryo', Athens based producer Cryogenics released his first full length foray into Future Jungle on Boomsha, at the time we said it was the 'Timeless' of the Future Jungle era and it still is and 'My Personal Demons' is the 'Logical Progression Vol One' of the Future Jungle era, once again the man has set a precedent that won't be matched, 10 tracks in total, 3 Drum N Bass and the remaining falling into Future Jungle and Jungle territory, highlights include the melodic pianos and amens of 'Lunar Theory', the ambient swirls and rises of 'White Dwarf' and the deep thumping minimalism of 'Scatter', these are but a few highlights from this opus, come December no doubt this will be among our shouts for best release of 2015

Bay B Kane-25 To Life LP [Boomsha Recordings]

Bay B Kane's '25 To Life' LP on Boomsha represents a huge milestone in the career of the legendary Jungle producer and sound engineer and another massive chapter in the history of Boomsha recordings, totaling 15 tracks which include a remix of the anthem 'No Solar' by X E Dos, you would forgive this writer for perhaps 'gushing' a bit but this album truly is an opus of timeless beats, its really hard to know where to start really when describing the quality of what is on offer so I'll say this, if at any point in the 25 or so year history of what we know as Jungle, you have been a fan and if you know Bay B Kane's sound well then be rest assured you are in for a musical treat of beat mastery, a range of emotions and thoughts conveyed through finely crafted sounds that truly breathe a life of their own, that move from the subtlest and most sublime sounds to darker and more brooding vibes with brilliance. Sure, there are countless tunes that sound good in a mix but this is a true album, you can play it, you can mix with it and you can also sit back and listen at home from start to finish and you DEFINITELY need this in your collection.

Schoco - Welcome To My Jungle LP-Boomsha Recordings-Due Out 19/05/2014

The 3rd artist album to feature on Boomsha Recordings is Schoco's 'Welcome To My Jungle' its due out on 19/05/2014 as a 2 week exclusive on Beatport, get it on the day of release here and it is a masterclass in the sound of Future Jungle, a rebuttal to those who claim that the sound is dead, beats as good as this don't die, its as simple as that, I'll repeat for emphasis,  THIS IS A MASTERCLASS IN FUTURE JUNGLE

We begin with the gentle sway and rolling breaks of the aptly titled 'Enter The Jungle', a perfect album opener and a great tune to start your DJ set, fans of beat mastery are in for a treat when the track builds to a crescendo midway splicing up breaks left right and centre, this sets the tone perfectly

Next up is 'My Weapons' featuring vocals from Daz Breakz and I'll say it right now, I said it when I played this on air recently, for me, this is right up there with my favourite Future Jungle track 'Psychotic Bleeps' by Sub Fusion, this track is menacing and sinister, it really could give you the creeps sitting alone in your room and I love it all the more for that fact, the eerie horror esque strings, pummeling layered breaks, the start stop sequences, this track epitomises dark claustrophobic paranoia, its awesome!!!!

'Rhythm' opens with a subtle beat that reminds me of Massive Attack's 'Teardrops' and builds subtly into a hypnotic and melodic groove, 'Dhyana' combines Schoco's beat mastery with a dubby ethnic sound, 'I Wanna Dance' is Schoco at his cinematic best with a towering trance like tune, 'My Love' is bleepy and majestic, 'Only A Dream' breaks out the 303s for some acid soaked breakology, one of the darker numbers here with growling mentasms and another personal pick for this writer from this exceptionally good LP .

As the title suggests 'Towards The Sun' is from the ethereal side of Schoco's amazing musical mind, indeed it could be the soundtrack to one of those epic Sci Fi films of the late 70s and early 80's or a sprawling dessert odyssey, 'Solar Illusions' fuses tough techno stabs and and a powerful sense of atmosphere to the classic funky drummer break, 'Desert Jungle' combines guitar riffs, didgeridoos and warrior like crys with stripped back pads for the sounds of the desert, the rainforest & the outback rolled into some epic jungle breaks, Radioactive Watermelon makes an appearance for remix duties on 'Dhyana' for an amazing orchestral dubbed out reworking.

Really, there should be awards for an album of this caliber, you think this sound is dead? Take a listen to this magnus opus and prepare to eat some humble pie, for the 3rd time I'll say it because it needs to be said, this is an absolute masterpiece.

ELLIS DEE & DJ TWISTA//MANION//IMPERIAL BROTHERS//RYO

On the deeper side of things, Ryo returns to Boomsha Recordings for 'Arcadia', a shimmering slice of ambient influenced future jungle that shimmers like a sun soaked soaked desert with mesmerising pads and tons of atmosphere, Resonant Status turns in a simply amazing prog breaks reworking too....
