Nixon- Simple Minds/Watch Dis [Punks Music]

Nixon's EP last year on Punks Music absolutely tore things up but if you think that was good, wait until you hear whats coming on 31/08/15 lets begin with 'Simple Minds' a slice of pure junglism, old skool samples, a very famous vocal refrain and bass that will rattle your cage, description alone isn't enough, you have to hit play. 'Watch Dis' is what a Good Looking Records track might sound like pitched down to breaks tempo, its mind blowing, seriously, we love this label and we reckon this might the labels finest release to date

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!!!

Amiga Breaks- Journeys End LP [Dark Til Dawn]

I first heard Timo's music around about 2011 while listening to DJ Gaffer's Sunday evening show on Nu Rave Radio, he played this track a pure slice of 92' breakbeat hardcore and I had to ask for the ID, since then I've been fortunate to hear and play many tracks by DJ Fuzzbuzz/Amiga Breaks and its with great pleasure I review this full LP by him due out this Monday 08/06/15 on Dark Til Dawn. In keeping with Timo's style, we are treated to a diverse range of sounds from OldSkool Hardcore to Jungle and 4 Beat/Happy Hardcore, there's no shortage of those trademark sweeping euphoric chords and warm detuned piano on tracks like 'Round Trip' and 'Oldskool Daze', things get darker on tracks like 'Time To Die' but on each of the 10 tracks here, you can hear the sound of a man who has the Oldskool bug, that feeling that you can't really describe, the best I can come up with is 'warm', its when you hear one of those rushy pianos or bleepy techno riffs combined with the sped up breakbeats and it's that feeling you will experience listening to this excellent album, check out the preview below mixed by QPA's Bright Lights and get ready for the essential Oldskool experience from 08/06/15 Out 08/06/15 Here: https://darktildawnrecords.bandcamp.com/

VA-Left Coast Bass [Kings Connect]

Welcoming back Kings Connect with an excellent new EP that is totally free!!!

JPS & Hooves- Gu [Muti Music] Future Jungle Blog Premiere

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.

This 4 track EP showcases a variety of tempos and styles from the dark J Tek throwback banger 'Artificial Perfection', the euphoric 'A New Day', the dark bleepy 'Excited' and our personal fave, the old skool tinged 'Ezup', another fine chapter in Boomsha's history, another essential release for your collection.
