Sub Slayers 20, Interview with Jay Cunning, promo mix and a free tune

Sub Slayers has had phenomenal success since you set the label up in 2009 , what do you put that down to in your own personal opinion?
Its definitely down to a few different factors of which the main one was simply due to a gap in the market; Breakbeat was getting creatively tired and the leap for some to Dubstep or Electro House just wasn’t an option so it was clear when I started playing tunes like Noisias remix of The Prodigys ‘Omen’ on my Kiss show and in gigs that a new direction was much needed.  From there it was all down to me and the artists to produce music that would help push the scene forward using elements we loved from back in the day to create something fresh and forward thinking.  

On a personal level I looked at Sub Slayers a lot differently to Menu Music which I ran with Terry Hooligan.  For me the label had to portray an image, it needed to represent a way of life and a new level for British music.

What elements do you look for when it comes to signing a new track or artist to the label?
When I hear something that’s right then quite simply it’s right!  I work with all the artists on each release very closely, some tracks I have minimal input in, some I have so much it changes the dynamic completely – either way I know when it’s got that Sub Slayers sound.

You also have a weekly show, Fridays , 5-7pm on http://www.koollondon.com/ , what has the reception been like to your show?
Fucking awesome. Next!
Seriously though taking to the airwaves has been a huge personal win for me as I didn’t realise how much I’ve missed the radio and with King Yoof in the hot seat as well the shows firing on all cylinders.   We get regular calls from legends in Jungle calling up asking for rewinds and to get sent the tunes – the response has been far bigger than we anticipated and we haven’t even been on air for a year!

Not wishing to put you on the spot but we have to ask, what’s been your favourite release on Sub Slayers so far?
It’s like asking which of my children is the favourite!
Well all of the releases have meant so much to me as so much work goes into each one and as we’ve pushed the musical boundaries each release can take credit for having its own impact.   There are however some important landmarks for me:
SLAYER001 – The first release was by High Rankin, it’s great to see him go on and do so well.
SLAYER010 – Ellis Dee has been an iconic DJ inspiration for me since 1991 and to have him on the label is a true honour.
SLAYER015 – King Yoofs International Hi-FI EP is our biggest seller to date and a year on its still selling!

And which dubs don’t leave the DJ box of Jay Cunning right now?
Seriously there are so many right now – I’ve got the next 8 releases ready to go which equates to about 40 tracks so I’ll try pick out a few:
King Yoof – Back 2 hackney (Jay Cunning & Toronto Is Broken remix) [Sub Slayers dub] – Naughty Big.
Schema – Le Brocqout (601 Remix) [Sub Slayers dub] – Quite possibly the best thing 601 have ever done.
High Rankin – You Got It [Sub Slayers dub] – Ranking goes all 160 BPM amen madness on us.
Skanx aka 6BLOCC – Afrika [Sub Slayers dub] – First release from new signing 6BLOCC, Los Angeles finest.

Sub Slayers 20 is out now, what can you tell us about that?
This is a little different to the norm for us but is a taste of things to come.  New signing Black & White teams up with Angie Brown to produce one monster club banger – I really couldn’t put this into a specific  genre and that’s what excites me so much about this release and with a Toronto Is Broken DnB remix it’s gonna blow!  If that aint enough there’s a killer Future Jungle track called ‘2Bad 2Rude’ with a dirty fucked up remix from Jersey boys Schema.

We also hear talk of an album in the pipelines, is this true? And if so, can you divulge? Perhaps a few hints as to what to expect?
Yes, No, Maybe (soon)

And finally, any last words, big ups, shout outs and plugs you want to give?
There’s so much love to give for what is just the start of this musical journey for us. For everyone that’s bought our music or supported us in the club we just couldn’t do this without you.  For all the artists, musicians, vocalists and MCs your creative forward thinking and helped shape a directing in British dance music (might start a new BDM trend?!?).  For everyone that I’ve worked with remember this is just start.  Last and by no means least a shout to Hugo who started with us as label assistant and has been doing a sterling job!
Sub Slayers aint fuckin’ about in 2013!

Exclusive Interview with Bad Habit Digital, mix and a free tune

The Future Jungle Blog caught up recently with 2 men behind one of the most prominent labels of 2012 in the scene, with several No1s in the trackitdown.net breaks chart, Bad Habit Digital has taken the world of breakbeat by a storm. 2013 looks to be an even bigger year for Bad Habit, to tell us just exactly why that is, here's Chris Bad Habit and Strange Rollers.

Chris Bad Habit
Thanks for taking the time to speak to Future Jungle Blog, 2012 has been a great year for Bad Habit Digital with several No1s in the trackitdown.net breaks charts, what would you attribute that success to?

The main reason would be down to the Talent we have on board the Label and Agency which has been an important Factor I feel.

Could you tell us a bit more about them?

The Label is built upon close friends and contacts with main man,Strange Rollers being a friend and fellow DJ/producer whom has taken the future Jungle/J-tek scene by storm. The recent releases on Bad Habit have definitely showcased the diversity within Nu skool breaks from 140 Jungle to faster tempo'd Breakbeat Hardcore and DnB, what has been your personal favourites from those releases?

Mmm that’s a hard one...I think the laid back style of the Jazz Dub E.P form Strange Rollers has shown that the scene is creating music not just for clubs but also for festivals and outdoor events where it has been very successful..

We understand you've had some pretty exciting news recently about some old skool legends featuring on a future releases for Bad Habit?

Yes we are really pleased to have had the opportunity to be able to remix the imperial brothers and Dani B and Lil Rockin G of the Knights of the turntable. Strange Rollers have worked their magic into both tracks and created a real funky and diverse sound to the original, the Strange Rollers have brought the U.K sound of Future Jungle and influenced the USA hip hop sound to fuse together to create a new audience for both genres. We are also very pleased to have the booty of "The Message" endorsed by Grand Master Flash aka Ron Green in a 140 flava..More news to follow



That’s pretty exciting, L.A Hip Hop legends, The Knights of the Turntable getting involved, which tracks are going to be remixed and released?

Freedom is a new release for the KOTTS and we are working on lots of new material with them as there new vocalist and wife of head honcho Gerard, Dani B has an amazing voice straight out of the gospel church..

We hear that you will be releasing a remix of a track by The Imperial brothers which featured on Nu Electro Vol 4 on Street Sounds Yes, we have courtesy of Strange Rollers created a Funked up beat version of Breathe which we feel, uplifts the original which will give a new audience the chance to hear these Legends in a new light. Very pleased with this mix, Funky and full of UK flavour!

Asides from being a record label, you also have a DJ agency and a studio, can you tell us more about that?

Yes, after the label we have an in-house, full recording studio and mastering service run by Lee Gardner (of Dance Digital) and the DJ agency is designed to push new and oldskool legends not only in the UK but to Europe as well due to our UK/French connections so that we can pioneer artists vice versa to a new crowd.. The whole philosophy behind Bad Habit Muzik is to create a company where we combine the ds with the producers alongside our events showcasing new music in clubs as well as on our radio station to reach a bigger targeted audience all working as one happy family...

Once again, thanks for taking the time, any last words or honourable mentions? I would like to thank Lee Gardner whom is the Master in the studio. I would also like to thank all the artists whom have let us release there productions

Strange Rollers
You’re a prolific and renowned DJ and producer with a huge back catalogue of productions that span Deep House to 140bpm Future Jungle/Hardcore Breaks and DnB, how did it all begin for you?

My first stab in the producing world was in 1999 / 2000 when I went round a mates house to learn how he produced, I got the bug shortly after and bought an Akai sampler, Bass station Rack, Cubase on the Atari ST and a basic Korg Keyboard, after many attempts and making tracks I produced my first decent Drum & Bass track. Not having a clue who to give it to I decided to release it myself on white label, I released a 2 tracker called 'So Fine' full on Amen track sampling Whitney Houston of all people but it got picked up by DJ Magazine and Knowledge who both gave it an excellent 4* out of 5, this really spurred me on to make more. I was signed initially to 'Critical' which is now an amazing well established d&b label but... I was a test press first release for the label and shortly after my Son fell ill and I basically gave up music making for the next 7 years! Until I found a site called 'Back to the Old School' I met Eddie Voyager though the site, Set up numerous Labels releasing Hardcore Breaks on Vinyl and basically got my grounding and love of music back, I Also met up with DJ Pete (Hardcore Lives Recs) Always being into early 80's Hip Hop and early House has definitely influenced the way I like to make music, with a love of so many styles / Genres of music I have to mix and match what I make, infuse different styles within a track

Ah Yes, Back To The Old School also known as BV2OS, this site played a huge part in the revival of the early 90s Proto Jungle/DnB sound or 'Old Skool', this scene grew throughout the 00's and is arguably reaching it's peak once again,being very much a part of this scene, what are your feelings about it?

Yes agreed, B2VOS for me started it all off again and really captured a lot of the oldskool ravers love of the music, the problem for the scene back then was it had to be Vinyl or no one was really interested, none of the labels including myself ventured into the new emerging Digital age and until that point when we moved into this market it kept its self a small underground revival and didn’t really venture out into the wider music market. One of the first steps towards this was when DJ Pete and I started the Hardcore Energy CD Series. Since labels have embraced the digital age we have now picked up a much wider listener base, younger and more diverse mix of listeners which for me is very pleasing because it now doesn’t just mean we're recreating the past but reforming the future, now its digital, the possibilities are much greater and accessible to get a 'worldwide' audience. Vinyl sales dried up towards 2008 time so Digital provided the perfect platform to release music for this to happen. Nowadays I can browse the digital radio stations and hear our sounds being played very regularly, even the major stations like Radio 1, 1 xtra, XFM play our music, it’s such a good feeling for either your track or fellow producers within the scene to get National radio play. a testament to the scenes dogged approach to never giving up on what we believe we want people to hear.

You mentioned Eddie Voyager, a veteran of the scene; would you say he was a mentor of sorts, when you first got into production? And where there any others who influenced you along the way?

Definitely a big influence, he spent a long long time and with great patience sometimes explaining how to do certain things in production, I even learnt how to organize my studio leads off him, I also have to give props to Lucas (Top Drawer Digital) for his input and determination into the scene for believing in his sound and label, his efforts are really starting to pay off. As far as other influences they have to come from the music I listen to, if I like a sound or style, I like to incorporate that into my music production. The internet is a great tool to find out how to do something! YouTube especially, many a tutorial video has shown me the way

At this juncture, we come to the present day and the newly established and flourishing sound of future jungle, some see this name as being representative of all the current styles based on the old skool sound, not just big booming basslines but also the older and earlier sound where jungle had big piano leads and techno stabs, would you agree with this?

Well at the end of the day it’s all Bass music, Future Jungle does and has become an umbrella Genre tag for the scene and to be honest, I’m cool with that, you still get you pure Jungle 140 riddims and you get the more Ravey sound of Future Jungle as well as the older 'Hardcore' influenced tracks, if it helps buyers and listeners of the music discover more music it has to be a good thing

Agreed, at Bad Habit Digital, you've had an E.P and 2 tracks released, the E.P did really well and showed yet another aspect of the 140 sound, along with that, you've remixed tracks for Hip Hop and Electro legends as previously mentioned by Chris, that must have been quite a buzz, can you tell us a bit more about that?

Being given the chance by Chris Bad Habit to remix for the Knights of the Turntable and The Imperial brothers was awesome, I listened to these guys back in 1985 off the Streetsounds Electro Albums and to now be remixing for them is amazing, I look forward to doing lots of projects with them in the future and fusing our sounds together

Thanks for taking the time to talk to us, to wrap things up, is there anyone you want to mention?, any plugs? Perhaps you could say a few words on 'Change Pace' by yourself on Bad Habit Digital which is out now?

Yeah Change Pace is out now, I hope that track gives the DJ that little something that enables Drum & Bass to be fused with 140 Sets, the speed ups and slowdowns help give that ability, also has a nice pumping riff to get u dancing. I’ve got lots of projects soon to be released or being released that I’m excited about we have the Hardcore Lives Vol1 Album out currently featuring 2 of my new tracks along with 22 others, I’ve got a release out on Definition Breaks 50th release which sees the return on my 'Dark Love' track, releases on Warehouse Wax, an Artist EP on Held 2 Ransom, as you've mentioned my remixes for the KOTTS and Imperials on Bad Habit plus plenty more so lots on the go, just the way I like it, plus constantly updating my soundcloud with free goodies.

‘Change Pace’ by Strange Rollers and ‘Rushin’ by Red Lizard are both out now on all good download stores, Imperial Brothers-‘Breathe(Strange Rollers Funk Attack Remix) will be hitting the stores on the 12th November. Have a listen to all current Bad Habit releases here:

Pressa - Summertime Vibe [FKOF free download]

Pressa - Summertime Vibe [FKOF free download]

Pressa - Summertime Vibe [FKOF free download] by FatKidOnFire

Korrupt 's review of Pressa 's 'Summertime Vibe':
"This is what I call a summer track.

"You're immediately confronted with this 140bpm jungle vibe! Loving the keys up top, they add a lot to the build-up of this track. Loving the delay on all the elements except the keys; giving them a proper role in this intro. Loving how the trumpet comes in to give it an extra vibey spin. The drop is dope, warm and thick low-end – which is nicely flowing underneath. The percussion is something I’m really feeling, sounding nice and breaky with great variations all around, well played! Nice progression towards the first break, all the elements are evolving and then suddenly there's a really low baseline involved! Great breaky build-up towards the second drop, really amazing! Everything stays in key through a nice use of chords... Impressive. Slowly you hear elements disappear and sometimes return, but the main element that stays present is the keys – a well chosen lead!

"Go out, open a can of beer, have a smoke and put this song on – trust me, it's definitely a track to chill on! This track is completely different from Pressa’s older material, for example his track ‘Orbs’ on the Angles Compilation through Orientis Recordings. He’s in tight connection with Bojcott Selectah, who I know personally. Watch out for more 140bpm jungle madness from both of ‘em!"

"It's been a wicked day and the sun's shining like a badman. Here's a sunny little giveaway from Joe Pressa. Can't complain!
