Review: If we're going to talk about seminal jungle records they don't come much more important than this one, right? Origin Unknown, aka Andy C and Ant Miles, defined a new darkside direction for breakbeat hardcore and jungle when they committed 'Valley Of The Shadows' to wax. The iconic samples, the looming sub bass, the tight as you like break edits - it's just the perfect track. Most people forget it was originally paired up with another tune though, and 'The Touch' deserves some praise too. It feels more in line with the general wave of hardcore that was prevalent when the record dropped in 1993, not least thanks to the gnarly synth lines and vocal slices, but it's still a totem of the genre at its best. Remastered, repressed and ready to destroy the rave all over again.

Review: K Lone has been turning out some of the fresh bass-related tunes of the last few years. He can do it all from silky deep house to scuffed to garage to fine vocal jams. For his latest outing, the second release from Sweet N Tasty, he looks across the Atlantic to Chicago for a firing four tracker of mega fresh juke and footwork tracks. The drum programming is tight, the samples are drenched in heat, heart and soul and the chords are super warm and deep. It is a great take on the juke template that is likely to make for some real summer highlights.

Review: Get unstuck with these two delicious refixes from Unglued's debut 2021 album Interplanetary Radio as two of the most highly respected beat carvers apply their scalpels to one of Hospital's most exciting new-generation stars. The ravey 'Total XTC' is perfect fodder for Exit's Fixate as he winds up the 4x4s and laces it with his own special hardcore essence. The super sweet soul of 'Way Back When' is also a perfect fit for its remixer as Halogenix brings a whole new hazy shade to the dreamy vibes. Far out.

Review: A blast from the past made in the present: Tempo Records present this gem from Hidden Agenda (Jason Goodings), who operates in a well-trodden but no less effective drum n' bass style. Printer Jams and running companions abound on this three-track 12", fusing urban breakbeat, old-skool jazz and obscure samples to solid effect. 'One Time' certainly won't be playing on our turntables just one time, while 'Just Me' eases into neurofunk and 'Something Nu?' lowers the tempo to deliver just as much - fans of Concord Dawn or John B will be impressed.

Review: Welsh warrior Quartz continues his great run of form as he follows his recent Rupture EP with this megalithic four-pack on Mako's Utopia. 'Krokodil' snaps us into reality with a fittingly dystopic setting with urgent vocal stabs and glacial breaks, 'Gateway' takes us on a breezier mission while 'Rituals' is all about those chubby rounded bass/kick fluctuations and sinewy stabs; minimal in make-up, maximum in force. Finally the title track closes off this bleak, chaotic serenade with some outrageous drumfunk choppage. Serious jungle business for 2022; life ain't always rosy... it can be very thorny too.

Review: Tension and science here from UVB76's Clarity as he returns with his first productions this side of 2020. Two sides, two tempo ranges, two vibes: 'Basalt' opens up with dubby prowess, purring hypnotically while 'Different Ways' continues the 130-ish vibe with a strange dystopic two-step and tense textures drawn out in the background. Flip for the drum & bass he's best known for... 'You Alright?' (with Holsten) rattles with lean, venomous technoid funk while 'Drifter' lives up to its name with its heavy atmospheric pressure. Welcome back Clarity.

Review: Serious history business: 'Some Justice' was the first time Micky Finn and Aphrodite joined forces and launched a partnership that would change drum & bass history. Prior to them linking, Urban Shakedown comprised of Aphrodite and Claudio Giussani who had a run of fantastically euphoric hardcore crossover records during that golden rave era. 'Some Justice' landed in 91 and the instantly goosebumping vocal cut 'Burnin' Passion' landed in 93. Both of them enjoyed these touch-ups in 94, which still sound fantastic today. Feel the burn.

Review: Well this is a bit of a treat... Good old Phizzy back with his first productions in 18 months. As always with the Senka soldier, the vibes are well considered, meaningful and not a regurgitation of anything he or his friends have done before. 'Blood Moon' sees him dipping his toes into Autonomic territories with heavy layers of emotion and restraint, 'Little Light' is a string plucking lullaby that flips into a sea of vocal textures while 'Roundeer' brings the bashy finale where the drums do all the singing. Let's hope he doesn't leave it so long next time!

Review: V Recordings' appropriately named 'Chronic Rollers' is back with another bomb cut. The lead tune here came to acclaim first when Kenny played it during his Formations Records Black History Month Stream on D&BTV and since then it has had plenty of heavy plays. Here it gets served up as three different versions with a dub, reggae and jungle mix. The first is the reggae version with big, steel plated drums and plenty of bounce. The dub mix then pairs things back and allows the FX room to breathe and the jungle mix is a real peak time roller.

Review: The North Quarter has always done a fine job of offering up widescreen drum & bass sounds that are often heavy on soul and based silky grooves. Their second State of Mind compilation is another caesura in point as it draws together four sides of fresh riddims from plenty of contemporary talents. Alexx A-Game opens up in funky fashion as remixed by Satl, then the good time grooves carry on with Lenzman & Redeyes's 'Hold Tight Girl.' Further highlights come from the jazzy depths of Channell's 'Intrigue' and Note's fathom-deep 'Affirmative Action.'

Review: Fugitive is a production duo made up of Aquasky's Dave Wallace and Shaun O'Hara, who also recorded as Mad Dog and Special Red amongst many other projects in the early 90s. Now they're back on Sub System with 'Pressure', a rowdy slice of D&B with some lively sampling that has all the Akai crunch you could wish for. It's not clear if it's an archive rip or a new joint, but either way it's got more than enough goods to mash up the dance. As if that wasn't enough, veritable legends M-Beat are on the B-side offering a remix which leans back on the beat and gives the toasting MC ample space to do his thing.

Review: Goldie's influential Metalheadz label continues to mark 25 years in the game with super special, one-sided 12". It arrives with Soul:r and Inneractive logos delicately etched into one side of vinyl and one of the label's biggest and best hits of recent time son the other. Goldie himself has described it as "one of the purest drum and bass tracks I've ever heard," and it sure is a super distilled but hugely effective cut from two powerhouses in Spirit and the late great Soul:r boss Marcus Intalex. The icy cold synths, minimalist drums and futurist sense of atmosphere all make this a truly timeless classic.

Review: Fresh from his recent Critical Music dispatch, Breda badboy Bryce returns to Fresh 86 with more sprightly contemporary dancefloor missives. On the A-side 'Sun' sets the scene with its rattling breaks and wavey, woozy chords while 'Tayga' flips to introspective, halftime emotional mode. Meanwhile on the B, 'Fashion' brings a little hip-shaking percussive flare while 'Cherry Riddim' closes with a more downtempo bliss. Juicy.

Review: Following hearty banger dispatches from the likes of Soul Mass Transit System, J Shadow and a whole stack of smashers from Zomby comes this feisty five tracker from the mysterious All Trades. Full-flavoured and broad in its tempo range, it's a first class breakbeat trip that flips from the stark futurist jungle of 'Flex Metallic' to the slower hardcore techno of the title track 'Lost Summer' to the abrasive electro-influenced fracturisms of 'Return 2'. All this and plenty more; there's more than enough room in this warehouse for all of us to party.

Review: Serious science from long-time friends and sparring partners Response & Pliskin on Northern Front... We kick off with a great remix from Rupture co-founder Double O who adds another layer of angst and grit to their 'Conquered History' cut from last year before the pair deliver a solo each and one collab between them. 'White Boy Killer' from Pliskin is total drumfunk magic, Response's 'Closer' is a heads-down stepper that hums with gallons of subs while 'M 16 Jungle' sees them linking up for a wry moment of 4x4 thunder and lighting made of pure cymbals. Strictly for the turbo heads.

Review: French revivalists Jungle Cat continue stoking the breakbeat fire with authority and class with three more floor wounders, this time from Polish Riffz and UK solider Dub-Liner. Riffz takes the lead with 'Dreamer Minds' that flips between deliciously deep and outlandishly wild. Dub-Liner follows with 'Sensation', a dreamy soul-out that could have easily landed on Dextrous's Ruff Quality back in the day. Finally the two link-up for an almighty finale where the sweetness of the pads and the absolute venom of the breaks collide with chaotic effect on 'Can U Feel'. Fire in the hole!

Review: Finally! The vinyl version of one of D&B's biggest albums of 2021 is here at long last. Featuring the skills and styles of two of the leading voices and most prominent songwriters in the game, Two Sides Of Everything is the first album of its kind in drum & bass and sees them vibing out and laying down pure emotion over beats from a truly all-star cast: Sl8r, Roni Size, L-Side, Visages, Random Movement, Whiney, Technmatic, BCee, Monrroe and so many more provide a perfect range of sounds, flavours and grooves for Riya and Collette to show how versatile and exciting the vocal side of drum & bass is right now. The wait's been worth it!

Review: Dutch longtimer Afterlife lays down a subliminal cut right here with 'Euphoric State'. Bringing those iconic 'Le Voie Le Soleil' pianos into the 2020s with timeless rave abandon, it's a great update on one of the most uplifting tracks to ever come out of the original early 90s primordial rave phenomenon. Remixes galore courtesy of Stu Chapman (big time stretches and oozing subs) Stones Taro (slower, house-influenced) and DubbalifE (sassy two-steps) Vibes for miles.

Review: American jazz pianist Tom Sochas delights fans here by finally unveiling a long awaited debut album. Oh this long player, Sochas mixes up a love of hard hitting post- bop with an ongoing passion for western classical repertoire and results in richly textural and emotive sounds that range from Monk-style to much more delicate in nature. Spaced out analogue electronics add extra layers to the majestic keys and drums and long- time collaborators Julian Knapp on saxophone and Laurie Carpenter on trumpet also add plenty of extra feeling and flavour
