Lucas - Look At The Light - Top Drawer Digital

Top Drawer Digital Presents :
Lucas - Look At The Light


Original Mix :

Vinyl Junkie Remix:

Full Spektrum Remix:


With Look At The Light,Lucas shows us the darkness.
A Deep,Atmospheric,Progressive J-Tek Track that builds with subtle breaks and then explodes into a driving four to thefloor beast.
Vinyl Junkie keeps true to the original feel with his remix but hardens up the Breakbeats and lets loose Basslines that rip through the track with power to deliver a Future Jungle Roller for those of darker tastes.
Full Spektrum goes for a different approach and whilst keeping the dark vibes , smashes the original to pieces and comes at you with a refreshingly powerfull splintered break and bass frenzy.

Get Them Exclusive at Track It Down :


Radiokillaz : Great Work All Round 8/10
Tariq (Future Jungle Blog) : classic dark J tek roller for 2012 with 2 great remixes 10/10

Interview: So Deep So Pressa

In the first of a series of interviews Kidchameleon talks to some of new and old hands of the 140 scene. Kicking things off with deep dub jungle master Pressa!





1. Hi Joe thanks for taking some time to do this interview with us. for those wh have yet to come across you can you give a bit of history about Pressa.

I'm a music producer and DJ from south east London/north west Kent that makes (sub) bass heavy music usually at 140 beats per minute which tends to be in the styles of dubstep or 140/future jungle.
I started off as just a dj playing garage and then drum n bass. I later decided that I wanted to learn how to produce and tried my hand at making a dnb tune. I wasn't very good with the 170 bpm tempo so made some stuff at 140 and it was a lot better straight away. At the time I thought what I was making was jungle and dub influenced grime/sublow. I later heard some dubstep and it was the closest thing to what I was making so I looked in to it more and got more involved with the scene.
In recent times I've been more known as a deep dubstep producer but have been focusing on the straight up 140 jungle stuff more recently.


2. Your sound is quite a deep melodic dubby sound, which few people are doing at the moment, were you always more into the deep end than the amen led stuff?

I've always been in to vibes and bass weight, if music hasn't got that in I don't see the point really! But yeah my music has always been pretty much on the deeper side of the music spectrum, easy on the ear kind of stuff.
As for amen breaks, I stay clear quite a bit because so many producers use them a lot. I do use them some times but more as an under layer.


3.You have just had an awesome release on Top Drawer Digital, alongside dutch junglist Bojcot. What was the idea behid this project and will we be seeing you two teaming up again?

Thanks. Lucas approached us to see if we were interested in doing a remix EP for the label, so me and Bojcot spoke about it and decided to go ahead with it.
There wasn't really an idea behind the project other than we would remix each others track, "Fast Motion 11" is called 11 and not "Fast Motion 10" remix as we decided it sounded too different from the original.
Me and Bojcot Selectah have been sending each other beats for around 3 years now as we both make jungle flavoured dubstep and more straight forward jungle at 140 bpm (not much was being made back then). We will definitely be working on something in the future!

4. What software/hardware do you use, to create the warmth of tracks like lost in time.

I use Reason, Recycle and a whole mess of samples to create my sound.

5. Where you do draw you influences from outside of jungle?
Dub, house, garage, oldskool hardcore, dnb, minimal techno, film soundtracks and day to day life experiences are probably my main influences.


6. How do you feel about the whole "future" term being used? It seems to be quite a hot topic in terms of branding music these days.

I think it's ok if the music is forward thinking, using new sounds and techniques I suppose. It does get used a lot.
To be honest I haven't really been following the future jungle sound till recently as I was just doing my own thing. I need to get at more producers for tunes haha.

7. Who will you be watching out for this coming year?

I'm sure Bojcot Selectah is building some heavy tunes at the moment so I'm gonna keep an eye out for him, oh and Graish as well as the Top Drawer Digital lot.

Joe has also included this rad mix for you all to download for your branded/non branded mp3 players



The So fast so serious ep is out now on Top Drawer Digital and is available from all good download stores

Bojcot Selectah
Getting kicked out of a drum'n'bass collective was probably the best thing that everhappened to Bojcot Selectah. With a musical taste already different from the rest of the crew, a concert by Vexx'd turned out to be the absolute life changer. Deeply infected by the rattling chestplate music that was now his primary weapon of choice,Bojcot started a solo career that's been highly succesful from the get go. His first major dubstepset at a party in his home town Utrecht (in 2007) raised more than enough eyebrows to grant him new bookings in well respected Dutch venues such as Milkyway, Tivoli and Paradiso.Ever since, Bojcot Selectah has been doing well in the Dutch circuit, both solo as well as with his dj partners DAWN and ROONIGAN and theirradio show named DIVERT RADIO @ SUB.FM Bojcot is swiftly expanding his territory towards the UK ,Romania, Croatia and Belgium. Apart from deejaying, Bojcot Selectah has been focused more and more on producing music, too.Acclaimed producers such as Wonder and 2nd II None are already fans of his tunes and have agreed to produce remixes.
Things are looking good for Bojcot Selectah!
