Nayim - Feeling The Rave [Kode 5]

'Feeling The Rave' by Nayim out today on Kode 5, a track that walks up to you with vicks in hand, a whistle hung round the neck, bare chested save for a luminous road safety jacket, gloved in white and decked out with a nice sunhat sucking away frantically on a pacifier in a manner that would put Maggie Simpson to shame, this is a pure slice of 'ardcore you know the score' as if plucked from the halcyon rave era itself with strong influences of rave legend Acen and other masters of 'ardcore of that very time, give this a blast and you'll definitely be feeling the rave!!!

DJ MARK C- Look behind The Moon- Kode 5 Recordings

Mark C has a unique take on the oldskool/nuskool sound, renowned for some of the most twisted and insanely infectious voyages into broken beats on labels like Rinse Repeat, Paranoid & Kode 5. This fresh offering on Kode 5 goes down a dark, techno influenced minimalist route with nicely layered drums, kind of a Defender-'Feel It' for 2014, a cavernous gut wrenching trip to the darkside and we love it!!!

STORMSKI -Coming On Strong- Kode5 Recordings

Stormski brings the fiyaaaahhhh with this banging 150BPM NuSkool/Future Jungle rude bwouy, things kick off nicely with a nice 4x4/classic breaks combo with Hip Hop vox taking you to the drop for some tingle tastic R&B vocals and pads before the bass shreds everything that stands in its way in a path of bass destruction headed for the death star!!!! We are concerned about your lack of bass, we highly recommend you go out and grab this BIG TUNE!!!!! This one cuts like a lightsabre so you best be ready, seen!!!!

STORMSKI-BAD BOY STYLE (FORTHCOMING ON KODE 5 RECORDINGS) by KODE 5 RECORDINGS™

We're massive fans of Stormski here at the blog, no one does that chopped up 1992 style like the Jedi master does, taking in Hip Hop, Ragga, R&B and throwing it all in the blender Old Skool hardcore style. 'Bad Boy Style' is Ragga Rave fun at it's finest, tipping the hat to SL2 and all those greats from back in the day with Ragga vox and pads before exploding into the massive and much loved 'Music 4 The People' drop as used by Yolk. This has been getting the rewind call at raves up and down the U.K and now you have a chance to add it to your collection. watch out for a whole load of Stormski tunes coming out on Kode 5 in the months ahead, in the meantime, we reckon this should do nicely as a taster, Big In The dance!!!!

Sparki Dee - Uplift Me Kode 5 Recordings + Exclusive Interview with Sparki Dee

Sparki Dee has had airplay on Radio 1 previously and continues to put out great tunes in a variety of genres, for over a year now we have had back to back radio shows on nu-rave.com and along with being a top bloke, Sparki also is something of a wizard in the studio, check out his remixes on the 92 and 93 project soundcloud groups for just a few  great examples. There's plenty of quality rave breaks, nuskool and future jungle on the way this summer from Sparki and right now he has a tune out on Kode 5 recordings 'Uplift Me'. I thought this would be a great opportunity to catch up with the man himself and have a chat about production, DJ'ing, the new release and just life in general.......

So, how does it feel having 'Uplift Me' released on Kode 5, with an accompanying video too?

It feels great to be on such forward thinking label and one where I can let my creative juices flow. Uplift Me is the perfect track for this summer, very uplifting and something many listeners can relate to. The video adds an extra dimension to the track and gives it that extra boost, visuals with music always take you on a journey, if it all fits together then your onto a winner and this is what has happened with this release.

Its a pretty infectious tune with its skippy beats and euphoric piano, how did the idea come about and what hardware and software were you using?

I didn't exactly have a plan to start with and that is usually the case when I produce music. The track started out as a 175 dnb tune with big pianos, then after a few days my thought process was different so I decided to slow it down and and build a totally different track taking out many of the harsher dnb sounds and adding in something more uplifting.  Once the sound felt right I knew I was onto something and once Kode 5 got a sniff of the audio snippet on soundcloud they wanted to sign it and thats basically how it started. I used Fruity Loops software (FL Studio as its also known) and composed the piano with a USB keyboard.

How did you get into the whole 140bpm + rave sound?

By listening to Nu Rave Radio, I heard how the sound was coming back. I remember about five or six years ago there was this sort of music kicking around but it wasn't something that was on my radar at the time. Through listening to other shows I enjoyed what was on offer which then led me on to start mixing the music in my radio shows. The original 90s sound was a big part of my youth growing up so I'm glad its come back in a new form but with a lot of the old skool sounds still prominent. 

And what can we expect from a typical Saturday afternoon set by yourself on nu-rave.com?

Mayhem! I like to vary the styles as much as possible. At the moment I mainly play rave breaks, future jungle, drum n bass but I do like to add in some old skool jungle, old skool hardcore and I often play other producers demo's in a special “Amiga Showcase” which promotes those who still use an Amiga computer to make beats. Sometimes I play totally different styles of dance music but do tend to keep it all current which is why I mainly play the new rave breaks and future jungle music, because its very niche/underground and needs a lot of support to get it noticed by record companies and other big radio stations who are slow to cotton on.

Lastly, any bits coming up in the near future? Any shout outs, big ups etc?

I have plans to release more music on Kode 5, I also have an upcoming EP release with Rave Stylee but no date has been confirmed as yet so I don't know exactly when it will be out but it shouldn't be too long to wait. I have a few more opportunities opening up for me one that I cannot talk about yet as its all hush hush. I'll put it this way, you'll be seeing a bit more of myself soon on the current music scene and also in different ways within music. Watch this space!

Big ups have to go to Gaz, Allan and Barry at Kode 5, Mat and Gav at Rave Stylee, Tariq at Nu Rave and the station management, to Spice Radio where I DJ on  every Monday afternoon. Got to say massive shout out to Sass who put a good word in for me to start on Nu Rave Radio. To all the Amiga producers out there Squatski, Amiga Junglism, Anthony D, Hailon who are sending me their tracks to be played out. Big shout out to all those who support my music and my radio shows and to all the listeners to my soundcloud who listen, share and download each and every week and also to anyone else who knows me and is following my progress. 

'Uplift Me' by Sparki Dee is out now on Kode 5 recordings via trackitdown.net and all good download stores

 

MARK C Positive Vibes EP Kode 5 Recordings

Old Skool fans are really in for a treat, along with the previous post where I reviewed DJ Flow's new EP we also have this awesome outing from Mark C out today on Kode 5. Mark's productions are always unique, fun and energetic and the three on offer certainly deliver, 'Rushing Just A Little Bit Too Fast' takes an Orbital 'Chime' type melody, loops it with some incredible cut up beats and throws in some great tempo switching hoovers, stabs and vox making for a funky, tripped out, uplifting hardcore work out. 'Expand Your Mind' continues with one of the key elements of this EP, namely Mark C's neatly chopped up beats that have to be heard, utilising the famous 'I Get Hype' vox as used by ACEN in 'Trip II The Moon' with an overall minimal techno like vibe, 'The Death Trap' is my pick of the 3, a dark, Reinforced circa 92 influenced track with crazy drum edits that remind me of that great drum section in Metalheadz' 'Terminator' with a dark as you like looped melody over rumbling sub bass a la Doc Scott. As I have wrote before on this blog, watch out for Mark C who is fast becoming an in demand producer with releases on Kode 5, Rinse Repeat and forthcoming tunage on Long Live The Animals, this EP is a testament to his production skills and a absolute must have for NuSkool and Old Skool heads alike, go get it!!!!

Essential Tunes Round Up 17.6.13

Been a bit slack with the posts lately, heres a round up of what you need to spending your hard earned cash on.....

 

Curious is the don! For soulful future jungle flavours, look no further than this bad boy, sweet vocal 140 shizzle fo yo speakers, booooom!!!!!

 

The output on Rinse Repeat just keeps getting better, in my humble opinion, this is the finest to date from the quality imprint, classic jungle vibes at 140bpm, check out 'Bakerloo Grind' too, serious heaviness!!!

 

Breakbeat Hardcore NuSkool vibes from Sunny on RSR Reloaded, a tasty retake on a couple of 90's anthems, check the E.P too for some banging 94 style hardcore!

 

Simply amazing female vocal led, deep, melodic future jungle, this will blow you away, its that good!!!!

 

Pursuit continues to smash it with another prime time 92 hardcore beats of a tune, you want chopped up breaks with some old skool ravey bleeps and bass? You got it!!!!

 

And we finish with this, one of my faves of 2013, capturing the vibe and raw energy of the 94 jungle sound perfectly with Krome & Time style pads, it doesn't get much bigger than this, if you're a true junglist, you need this!!!!

9ine Zero Featuring Taylor Lie - Ray of Light (Kode 5 Recordings)

Sunshine vibes from 9ine Zero & kode 5, reminiscent of the 91' sound, think Bizarre Inc, Shades Of Rhythm, Capella, prepare to be uplifted and elevated by this bona fide rave anthem, yet another winner by NuSkool purveyors par excellence  the mighty Kode 5!!!

Get this great tune here and from all good download stores: https://www.trackitdown.net/track/9ine-zero-feat-taylor-lie/ray-of-light-original-mix/breaks/5847079.html
