Review: Mindgames' dedication to capturing the golden era of jungle while incorporating modern production techniques aligns seamlessly with ASC's unique style. In these two EPs, the maestro blends the vast soundscapes of his Spatial releases with the raw energy of his 2020 jungle trilogy for Samurai Music. From the driving beats of 'Shadow Of The Beast' to the smooth, deep stepping vibe of 'Phaaze' and the expansive sounds of 'Cells Interlinked,' ASC demonstrates his deep jungle expertise once more. 'Snowblind' is a gem that pays homage to Photek's space jazz, while 'Flux' features a mesmerising groove wrapped around an infectious bassline. What an EP.

Review: Forever taking our brains to new dimensions, longstanding ambient/tech/jungle fusioneer ASC unleashes a few long-awaited cuts from his armoury. 'Shadowplay' takes the lead and will no doubt be the most supported track on the club side of things. Big splashy breaks and breezy pads rule the roots on this and will squeeze the breath out of any head a 20 mile radius. Levels remain high throughout the EP; 'Lacuna' hits hard with a militant snare-led rhythm, 'Dimensions' is the dreamy number of the pack while 'Southern Cross' brings us back home safely. What a trip.

Review: Musical talisman ASC joins Mindgames for Mindgame 6, twinned with the concurred release Mindgame 5. Mindgames' commitment is to capture the essence of golden-era jungle while infusing it with updated production techniques, a mission that perfectly complements ASC's approach. On these two EPs, ASC bridges the expansive soundscapes and raw dynamisms of his 2020 jungle trilogy for Samurai Music. From the heads-down launchpads of 'Shadow Of The Beast', to the deep-stepping glides of 'Phaaze', and onto the epic 'scapes of 'Cells Interlinked', ASC pens a sonic manifesto for the master-crafting of deep jungle.

Review: With the Waveforms series, spacefaring drum & bass titan ASC moves away from the pure cosmic thematics for a much more formal take on his craft. Having released these tracks in wavy serial form since at least the end of 2023, specially on 10", these 'Waveforms' could be said to track a tidal movement in ASC's psyche, with the releases therein following his many capricious oscillatory whims i.e. as he sees fit, whether in response to lunar cycles or otherwise. Still, that hasn't stopped him from releasing over three additions to the series, though: now, waveforms 11 and 12 emerge. Both tracks extirpate ASC's sound as something purely formal - without the usual metaphysical or outer-spatial fetishisms - yet still take up huge amounts of bandwidth (though not to the point of sounding undynamic) and stir up a primal rancour in us by way of militant techstep on the A, and string-baked Arcadian amens on the B.

Binary System (limited translucent pink vinyl 12")
Cat: SPTL 031. Rel: 18 Jul 24
Review: .Currently enjoying something of a purple patch in his output, Simon Huxtable starts up the Aural Imbalance machine for the fifth outing of the year so far. As always the vibes are set to euphoric and heavily emotional as he breezes through the deep jungle spectrum. Special scenic points on this particular astral travel include the cosmic GLR-style intro epicicity of 'Wireframe', the driving earnestness and solemn twinkles of 'Distant Stars' and the slightly heavier, more drum-focused finale 'Eclipse'. System overload.

Darker Flowers (12")
Cat: RSBY 003. Rel: 30 Jul 24
Review: Rosebay Music presents 'Darker Flowers', a fresh V/A project showcasing four hotly-tipped new school producers, all of whom represent a hauntingly soulful drum & bass sound with class and elegance. Romanian wunderkind Azotix has been making moves recently with his ultra-clean future bangers, but here he demonstrates another side of his sound with the beautiful 'Hurt'. Styke and label boss Submorphics, meanwhile, link up in The Hague for a unique collab, 'Lonely Dub', channeling dub techno and moody film noir D&B. LO! represents Chicago with the interstitial banger 'Transition', bringing an early 2000s sound into 2024, while Imo-Lu finishes things off with the gorgeous, ye deadly bassbin rattler 'Inhibition'. Epic soundsystem music straight out of Glasgow.

Review: Moody drum & bass purveyors are back with a new one from veteran producer Big Bud, a new signee for the label and evident Argus Panaures for the intersection of halftime, liquid and "night bus" (if you want to call it that). The 'Kush Mush' EP blends mournful vocal cries with subtle dramaturgic sound FX, as if to portray the expositional scenes of a contemporary desert spaghetti western turned sci-fi thriller (if the moody gas station image on the inner label is iany indication, that is). The title track years for something hidden, "somewhere inside you", while 'Lucky7' strikes us with its swung break and similarly dreamy bloopage, echoing the nimble, nigh weightless high that follows a slot machine win.

Review: Following February's Popit EP on Hotflush, Cardiff-based Luke Welsby and Olly Howells aka Bodhi's Laurus Ascending is another accomplished musical adventure that delves into UKG, r&b, bass, house and more. 'All I Want' kicks off t with its warped bass and precise drum programming while the title track features fluid synths and a pitched-up r&b vocal sample that creates a compelling hook. Elsewhere, the likes of 'Reforma' merges jungle, techno, and bass into a dynamic rhythmic journey, while 'LFO2' is another heart of the rave gem amongst many more potent weapons.

Review: Return To Disorder welcomes Evighet Records label head Marco Bruno for some brilliantly controlled sonic chaos on this new electro exploration. His Sharp Focus EP brings together ambient, breaks and techno to snappy electro rhythms of the sort that he has already showcased in style on labels such as Blueprint Records and Machine. This one opens with the sleek, future-facing and speedy sounds of 'Storyteller' before 'Values Over Ego' gets more textured and raw with knick-snapping hits and prying synth lines making for real turbulence. 'Twist Of Fate' is a jungle workout that ducks and dives on warped bass and 'Karmic Pattern' is a slow but textural and intense closer with rueful chords.

Review: N4 Records bring a new split EP to our ears, not quite equally dividing the disc-space between producers Cheetah and Janaway. The former soundpusher, Cheetah, offers 'See Dem Talk' and 'Touch Me' on the A-side respectively - the former indulging relentless ragga sampleage come pitched-down snare-shots, the latter rave-piano and chipmunk catharses. Janaway meanwhile entirely dominates the B-side, with similarly raggaific consciousness streams set against a more rapidly and complexly patterned amen science on 'Duplate To The Head'; also our proverbial weapon of choice. Then 'Full Speed' also goes ravey; the track is heard ranting too, either through its use of distant patois exclamations, doubly delayed "soul!" shouts and, not least, orchestral hits worthy of a rave adherent of the oldest school.

Trip II Insanity (double 12")
Cat: SNKR 051. Rel: 04 Sep 24
Review: Naughty hardcore business: 'Trip II Insanity' from Western Lore bossman Dead Man's Chest and occasional collaborator King Kutlas hits hard with that heavy, noxious 150 BPM-ish fusion of sounds, vibes and ravey flavours. Cuts like the title track and 'Ananda Tandava' are great examples of that sweaty, relentless, high pressure feeling old hardcore cuts would have. Elsewhere tracks like 'Ride The Storm' and 'Kantankerous' hit with more of a classic rave feel. All of it absolutely slams. Big up Sneaker Social Club..

Review: It's metallic sound effects and mech whirrs aplenty on this new Deft release for Hooversound; such are just a small descriptive sample of the many crazy sound effects worked into their take on the electro form. Billed as a "familiar favourite" on their roster, 'Burna' hears Deft do exactly what it says on the obi strip, blazing a trail of serious apocalyptic heat by a five-way exploration in breakbeat. Though here, the palette is overhot and liquid-metallic; it's as if it weren't a human being at the creative controls, but rather a decepticon, in constant transformative flux at the mere promise of future breaks carnage. Seemingly no boundaries between ideas of "drum & bass" and "breakbeat" are felt - any initial sense of separation between the two is ultimately collapsed by the EP's use of temporal / metric variation.

Coeus (Intellect) (purple haze vinyl 10" limited to 200 copies)
Cat: SFRTITANS 02. Rel: 02 Sep 24
Review: Silent Force go deep with their latest 12" from London's Dissect. There's a spacious Photekian charm to 'Otonashi' with each drum hit rumbling and shimmering with clarity. Watch out for those pads, too. Massive Attack fans definitely won't miss them. Meanwhile on the B we get even deeper with the dubby, halftime vibes of 'Mind Reading'. Listen as the drum hits space out even further and marvel at yet another lush paddy chord sequence waft into the mix. For the heads. Be thankful for everything you've got.

The Stormfront EP (blue & white marbled vinyl 12")
Cat: IDV 003. Rel: 21 Aug 24
Review: Dom of Dom & Roland (Roland being a machine) has remained a drum and bass visionary since the mid -90s. He remains notably the only solo artist to have scored award-winning albums on both Metalheadz and Moving Shadow; in recent years, he's since gone on to record various full-length records, such as a recent album on Overshadow earlier this year. His collaborations range far and wide and have included the likes of Optical, Amon Tobin and more recently Noisia; though his outernational performance style has attracted many more such pioneers along the way, including the likes of Art of Noise, David Bowie, Laurent Garnier, Goldie and Clyde Stubblefield. Now delivering his first EP 'The Stormfront', we're met with a four-hit haul of stonking sound-crushes, future-bleak halftime hack n' slashers, from the opening meteorological portents of 'Stormy Waters' to the closing, impish weirdo snaggles of 'Hallucination'.

Review: Fracture & Neptune's classics, Clissold and The Limit, now make a welcome return in the form of this special 2024 reissue on 12" vinyl. This reissue highlights pivotal tracks from their mid-2000s catalog and both have been remastered for a fresh take. The limited edition includes both the 2024 remasters and original mixes, presented in eco-friendly packaging. These influential tracks explore the ongoing legacy of the legendary Astrophonica label's early work. 'Clissold' is a dusty breakbeat excursion with gorgeous keys and 'The Limit' pairs more suspensory pads with a moody bassline and darker rhythm.

Elevations Vol 1 (12")
Cat: ELA 186. Rel: 02 Sep 24
Review: Elevate Audio present their latest split-side V/A outing in smackout drum & bass by way of four new and injurious numbers, tracks whose level of aggro and cantankery your ears have likely ever heard. Friction's 'Good To Me' opens as the dreamy pumpout liquid opener, its melancholic uplifts and stark claps providing a solid bed of dreaminess against which singer Emily Makis may lay down her vocals. Then there's a three-way collaboration between Circadian, Sota and Mila Falls, which pulls all stoppers, letting loose a full sortie of guttural growlbass and descendant sawtooth. Freaks & Geeks return with Makis on the B1 for a rumination on quintessence, as we ponder the fifth element via perky leads and breathtaking breaks on 'Elemental', while the final finish-him comes in the form of toothy knockout from Turno and Kanine, 'Polarity VIP'.

It's Cancelled (12" limited to 200 copies)
Cat: AEX 03. Rel: 20 Aug 24
Review: Barcelona-based label Adepta Editions welcomes Serge Geyzel for their third release and it takes the form of six sizzling cuts with fierce tempos and thrilling sound designs. They are couched in precision beats after an eerie and tense ambient opener 'Before The Silence Came' then 'Take Your Time & Be Mine' explores weightless jungle. There is beauty in the fluttering brass of 'Come Closer' and more moody darkness to 'Out Of Context' that makes it a late night trip into the unknown. 'Its Cancelled' is a punchy and body-popping closer with dystopian energy.

Review: Hong-Kong-born, Bristol-based Gyrofield aka Kiana Li is as diverse as they are prolific. They have proven that with a great NTS series and a great line of DIY electronic productions that explore glitch, dubstep, drum & bass and ambient techno. 'These Heavens' is a 12" on XL that builds on that early work across some fittingly refreshing and experimental sounds that go right for the heart of the dancefloor. 'Vega' is an electric opener, 'Occam's Razor' fizzes with dystopian energy and 'Lagrange' is a soulful, melody-laced stepper while 'Cold Cases' shuts down with a cacophony of percussive noise and busted synth lines.

Review: Harmony makes a welcome and notable return to the cultured Deep Jungle with an epic two-track release that captures the essence of, well, deep jungle.

Review: Now here's a highly authentic source for the OG jungle sound - Haste was active back at the beginning, he's been collecting forever and he's the man behind every jungle nerd and journalist's favourite site RollDaBeats. Now back on the dials since late 2023, he's putting his Amens where his mouth is and getting busy with some seriously heavy workouts. Three cuts in total, 'Selec' is the big head-topper of the collection with its twisted, fractured breaks, 'Gotta Live' takes more of a Detroitian influence with its big vocal and spiralling chords while 'Move' ends on a skanky tip. Proper grown up tackle, this. More Haste. Take heed.

Review: Ja-Ge George is a rather little-known dancehall artist who has turned out only a few releases over the last 20 years. He hails from Japan and is part of the Rub-A-Dub Market crew and now he is back with a new single that comes on Far Eastern label Lawson Entertainment. 'Down Beat Rule' blends new school and contemporary raga and dancehall into a classic-sounding cut with some rhythmic vocal stabs, natty, polished chords and broken tumbling beats to amp up any crowd. On the flip, it becomes a high-energy jungle workout powered by blistering breakbeats.

Review: Java steps up as the Redskin label surges on through double figures with a new EP, Nightfall, that covers a stylish range of jungle sounds. 'Brockout' has ld school signifiers like the ragga vocal and clipped vocal yelps, but some super smooth and silky pads and a serene sense of cosmic energy. '16 Stripes' is another collision of those different worlds - deep space ambience and more warehouse-ready jungle styles complete with some nice sci-fi bleeps. Closer 'Fi Di Girls Dem' shuts down with some nice crisp breakbeats and soulful vocal touches to ignite any party.

Review: Reinforced graduate, technoid polymath and very early US jungle representer Jamie Myerson returns to Spatial, ASC's platform that willed him back into the game just under a year ago. His third EP since his return, once again Jamie treats us to four sublime sonic scenarios ranging from the bright and hopeful salvo of ravey open 'Tensor' to the poignant pads and hazy farewell of the finale cut 'Wavefunction'. Each one as beguiling and emotionally sprung as the next, these are a testament to both Myerson and Spatial's enduring sense of timelessness.

Review: The young but already impressive Headset label is back with a third outing and it is a various artists affair with a distinctly futuristic edge. Kami O's 'Blutak' rides on lurching rhythms that sway up and down with great force as percussion percussion and wiry electronics bring it to life. smiff's 'Blinker' is a broken beat with thudding kick and hits and clanging metallic sounds while Sweet Philly's 'Acid Siren Tool' is a raved-up jam ready to blow up the dance floor.

Review: The Waveforms Series hears many a drum & bass titan outside of their usual comfort zone, encouraging them to explore sound-regions not dissimilar to their usual output, yet without the thematic accoutrements, instead as a means to purely ponder the form of sound itself. Here the label welcomes Melbourne-based producer Kloke to the fore for their ninth and tenth selection: both tracks bring tympanic tremors and echoic bass-boings to an otherwise shifting palette, one that never settles into the potential banalities of breaks nor the predictabilities of jungle percussion. '09' is melancholic enough, veering effortlessly between teary night-bus-ride padwork and aggro shellage, while '10' melds the two, bringing extra filter-happiness on the drums and arpy ardour on the synths.

Review: Hospital Records is celebrating 20 years of Logistics' iconic drum & bass track Together with a special repress that pairs it with the underground favorite 'Krusty Bass Rinser' on Side-2. Together remains a standout in the genre, known for its uptempo energy, crisp production, and unforgettable melodic hook. Originally a dancefloor staple, it crossed genre boundaries, appealing not just to liquid drum & bass fans but also to jungle and techno enthusiasts. This repress offers a chance for collectors and new listeners to own a piece of drum & bass history, especially as original copies have become increasingly rare.

The Darkest Knight (remastered) (12" picture disc)
Cat: SUBBASE 92. Rel: 16 Jul 24
Review: Suburban Base honours their brother MC Duke, Kashif Adham, a true legend in the music scene and the alleged godfather of UK rap. This incredible limited edition tribute vinyl picture disc celebrates MC Duke's legacy. After becoming the most prolific artist on the Suburban Base sister imprint, Boogie Times, before establishing his own label Hard Disk, this picture disc features some of his rarest releases from the latter imprint which have never been reissued since their original pressings in the 90s. Meticulously re-compiled and remastered shortly before Duke's passing, the likes of 'My Sound' and 'Journey' bring raunchy amens and breakneck variations to an otherwise make-do bank of samples: yet what Duke crafts out of them is truly impressive.

Review: Esteemed musical chameleon Brendon Moeller, renowned for his highly respected work in deep ambient, dub techno and myriad variations on such themes - turns his hand to 170 for Samurai Music. Centring on the iconic tempo as a key formal constraint - one that binds and defines drum & bass and halftime at its very core - Moeller is nonetheless able to articulate many new stylistic horizons with 'Vacuum'. As if to resist the banalities of content that plague drum & bass - overwrought amens, lasery one-shots, ragga voice echoes, you name it - Moeller instead leans into a purely formal atmospheric exercise, with 'Can't Run Away', 'Perspective' and 'Agitate' forgetting the concatenative associations of 'drum & bass' (TM) and instead fleshing out the less fetishistic contours of the metre, albeit also keeping up a squarely moody aura throughout.

Review: This new one on Aphrodite Recordings offers a rare chance to own some previously unreleased hardcore history. Crafted by Urban Shakedown founders Aphrodite and Kaukuta, these two unreleased Moonwalk tracks date back to 1993. ever since they were made back then at the height of hardcore's popularity, though, they have remained forgotten on a DAT tape. After being recently rediscovered, they have been pressed up to this 12" with 'Meditation' offering a blitz of pulsating drums and funky bass, thrilling breaks and sci-fi melodies that reagin down the face of the track, while 'Outer Space' is more raw and direct with a menacing low end and plenty of kinetic drum programming.

Review: Oh gosh! Massive Urban Takeover anthem business right here, reissued for the first time in decades. Originally released in 1998, Mulder was a major league Bristol name on this side of the drum & bass jungle sound at the time. Big basslines, fun samples, chunky grooves that will chop your lovely little face off. 'Can I Count It Off' hits with a furious message or five (ahem) while 'Don't Give A Damn' asks you to hit it and tells you to get up many times. Ah sampling was such an innocent sport back then!

Review: Opus One digs into the vaults with this one. It is a new 12" with a pair of old-school remixes of gold-standard Nookie originals. First up is the Makoto remix of 'Natural Experience' which is a soul-drenched, feel-good and upbeat roller with silky vocals and oodles of sunny charm.

Review: Nookie brings some superbly sough and summery vibes to the first tune on this new slab of wax for Kniteforce. 'Only You' opens up with fresh and smooth breakfast. They land with decent weight but also seem to float, especially once the heavenly vocal coos bring the soul up top and the fluid synths and jazzy chords bring great musicality. On the flip, 'Celebrate Life' is similarly silky and jazzy, with ducking and diving rhythms that are warmed through with great chord work. Bliss.

Review: When drum & bass dons Nookie and Ruth Royall link up, you want to make sure you are tuned into what goes down. And in this case, it is a thrilling blend on Opus One Records of hardcore, jungle and breakbeat in the form of two new singles and one alternative mix. ''My Angel' opens up with some crispy drum programming and sensuous vocals that soar above the physical drums. The Rage Mix is a darker, dirtier version with more raw energy and late-night menace and then 'Together (Again)' is a super sweet roller with liquid synths and serene strings adding the detail.
