something special from camp critical as two of electronic music’s leading lights lock horns for a vs battle of epic proportions. taking the jungle fleck of “mind & spirit” from sam’s “wasted days” lp of last year and one of breakage’s most memorable cuts from way back when (2005), the results are as you’d expect from these two. utterly essential listening.

debut lp offering from london rap group jungle brown. having featured on sbtv with their ep ‘take one’, this lp builds on a strong foundation. sample heavy, with strong saxophone performances from ayo odia, the instrumentation is rich and thick in texture. lyrically the group go from light and playful, to deep and introspective with great subtlety. keep it movin (a1) is a light reflection of the group moving from bournemouth to london, while ‘in the city’ (b1) is a gritty anthem detailing the arrival to the city. having a strong performance record behind them as well, the group’s reach is good, both in the uk and abroad.

halogens latest release brings two seasoned craftsmen, ilk & etch together for a collaborative effort on my soul. the two combine their production skills for a soulful stepper with intricate drum patterns layered with classic breakbeats, soul samples, and heavy sub bass - taking the listener back to the classic 90 s jungle era with modern day influences.
the b-side features remix duties from danny scrilla. danny is a well seasoned producer with releases on such labels as cosmic bridge, civil music, rudimentary records, and most recent zam zam sounds. danny brings his integrity to my soul with a heavy 808 halftime intro, seductive piano work, and detailed horn stabs, leading the listener into a melodic dance floor jungle shuffle with a delicate vocal sample weaving in and out of the track sending chills down your spine.

with a select few pieces of hardware, najera sculpts a deep house landscape all his own, where bass-lines peak and high hats fall in and out of time, stumbling, but always moving forward. from the early evening cocktail to the early morning sunrise.

once again krill music takes command of the shuttle towards another sonic dimension, a complicated journey to the limits of sound where mesmerising melodies act like the songs of sirens, through obscure and dense jungle foliage where the sunlight is rare and the night reigns. so with seat-belts fastened, onto the latest release...

the third jungle wonz release on trax, again with harry dennis gorgeous vocals. a real bench mark in the house sound of chicago from marshall jefferson.

food music welcomes a1 bassline to the label to release his first lp - technicality. the album’s title draws from the club night “technicality”, a monthly drum & bass night at herbal in east london, which is run by chris inperspective and continued the sound of early reinforced and metalheadz records as well as pushing new forward thinking music. the album is centred around growing up as a teenager discovering this jungle/drumfunk sound through his college friend rahim (lab creation), where the likes on fold, ben ufo, breakage would attend the club. in addition to well received records on dirtybird, pets recordings and his collaborative work with leon vynehall as laszlo dancehall, the album is a stamp on a1’s sound and his influences from his teenage years to growing up and discovering house and techno.

the second jungle wonz release on trax, again with harry dennis gorgeous vocals, was sub-licensed to both new york label vendetta and breakout in the uk (both subsidiaries of a&m), with some fine remixes by former area resident justin strauss. -this was one of the first house songs i ever heard when i was like 14- recalls felix da housecat. -marshall jefferson has been a huge influence on all my basslines. people usually think that basslines come from 80 s pop bands but they came from marshall jefferson. marshall jefferson is probably the best house producer of all time for this period.-

introducing dylan stark. 2015s most deserving anti-hero. his quiet rebellion starts here. tropical, celebratory and alive, heartland sounds a like parade and a jungle. it has the cant quite put your finger on it, coming of age pureness of grimes, and the raw emotion of a burial record (but in a joyous way). it is pc music plus animal collective.

second episode of the mystic jungle saga, mini-album emerged from the deepness

chicago legend marshall jefferson gave the world many classic records over the years including this influential proto-deep house gem way back in 1986, helping to solidify a blueprint & sound for numerous producers to come in the following decades. his work as jungle wonz always went deeper than most, steeped in soul & emotion, way ahead of the game & incredibly advanced for the times. *the jungle* is no exception, a blistering, melodic journey, the perfect vision of house. repressed & remastered for 2015 & featuring all original label artwork, with permission from trax records *the jungle* is now available again to be rediscovered, a truly essential record that stills sounds as fresh & contemporary today.

ein lang verschollenes und gesuchtes album ist jetzt wieder erhältlich! und dazu auch noch auf vinyl!
divine machte sich in den späten siebziger jahren zunächst einen namen als skuriller schauerspieler in john waters filmen (u.a. hairspray, pink flamingos), bevor der travestie-künstler dann in den frühen 80er jahren von erfolgsproduzent bobby orlando (u.a. pet shop boys, the flirts) auch für plattenveröffentlichungen produziert wurde, die den typischen bobby-o disco-sound hatten. innerhalb von knappen 3 jahren landete divine dann auch einen großen hit nach dem anderen, bis er schliesslich 1988 auf tragische weise ums leben kam. doch seine songs sind bis heute unvergessen geblieben.

17 steps is the new record label from uk act dusky, aka nick harriman and alfie granger-howell. the debut love taking over ep leads with a unique title track that represents duskys hybrid approach to production perfectly. drawing on dark, hypnotic melodies that reference classic jungle vibes, soulful vocal samples, and tough, intricate grooves, love taking over also hits with a gritty percussive edge making for a fresh and distinctly dusky production.

dnaut is a brand new label launching with an ep from the mysterious collective mdec - music dance every chance. the first track *the treasure* is a spangled fusion of synths that variously rasp to shine, while the percussions lend a rough feel. the rubbery drums and bass line of *riz jungle* harks back to old school chicago. *hero* is a predatory, creeping and crawling house grove with a whispered voice to add yet more intrigue. *desire* featuring hayley blackman is a little more playful- rooted drums underpin elastic, swaggering percussive lines and a little disco dazzle is hiding in the subtle synth patterns. *glisten feathers* feat billy love closes the ep heartfelt style with a breathy male vocal. shimmering synths, lingering pads and tinkling pianos add color to the killer vocal.

a re-issue from the classic stable. this time a little something from early 90s chicago - written by mystic bill and carl giamerese the record was a staple part of luke solomon and kenny hawkes dj sets throughout the girls fm and bar rumba / space years.

proceeding missions of noise and jungle, demdike stare adopting house and techno tempos

gerardo frisina joined forces with italian hip hop legend dj skizo (maurizio bonizzoni). an amazing encounter between two jazz lovers and record collectors - afro-cuban influences, 4/4 rhythms, refined use of samples and exotic atmospheres.

transparent turquoise vinyl. dev pandya drops his 149th career vinyl in the shape of the b-boy hip hop influenced drum machine. sharp breakbeats step forward, sideways and roll with female rap vocals that get the feet shuffling to drum machineÆs unique groove. rumbling subs and cuts of distorted bass hold everything bolt tight with intricate effects, stabs and vocal riffs. random twists and turns lead the mix into a vocal breakdown where the drums u-turn into a funk assault of drum and bass. the flipside core jungle highlights paradoxs early hardcore roots with vinyl-rip samples, crunchy funk breaks and raggamuffin fx delays that take you back to the birth of pandyas jungle influences. core jungle was written specifically for vinyl mastering and will not be available digitally. exclusively for the analogue crew!
support: marcus intalex, friction, dj marky, loxy, london elektricity, presha, naibu, bailey, flight, asides, amit.

venezuelan-born miguel toro is an impulse generator: a versatile drummer and percussionist. rhythm is his motor, but rhythm here does not just denote a motion within a certain beat. rather it means a fundamental, ever changing pulse, vibration, resonance. inspired by aesthetic forms as intense and diverse as the jungle of sounds ascending from his royal dust, miguel toro succeeds in giving them an extraordinary voice.

miles has been releasing material on modern love for a decade, first as one half of pendle coven, then on his own as mlz, and eventually pairing up with sean canty to record as demdike stare. in between he has also pursued more experimental terrain under the suum cuique moniker, produced jungle for the hate project and (together with andy stott) taken on the occasional release as millie & andrea for modern love sublabel daphne. he is also an admired, exhilarating dj, his sets have been known to span a broad spectrum of electronic music, from the obscure uk techno of labels like radioactive lamb and irdial, to classic chicago house, detroit techno and - most importantly - early 90s jungle and breakbeat, feeding into his love of the most uncompromising end of the italian experimental movement, musique concrète, synthwave and contemporary noise.

demdike stare return to the lab with two extended new productions, inaugurating a series of untamed releases brought together under the testpressing banner. collision was recorded in late 2012 and is pretty much unlike anything you will have heard from demdike before, an intense high-frequency re-arrangement of jungle and noise, like a more brutal variant of the demdike-affiliated hate project, fed through a bank of analogue boxes and pedals, left to spin uncontrollably for 10 minutes before fading to black. misappropriation on the flip feeds off a different noise altogether, perched precariously between the mangled percussion you would most commonly associate with muslimgauze and the metallic clank of industry, a proper sunstroke riddim: angry and unforgiving.

smallpeople - big sounds.

fold cut his production teeth as one-half of the much lauded london deep house outfit homepark. his first solo release to date, this ep reflects folds extensive knowledge of house and feeling for the dancefloor. a-side slime perfectly fuses driving staccato percussion with classic deep house warmth. moving patterns is a more laidback affair combining soaring vocals with an irresistible bassline that harks back to the early days of jungle. the ep is a given a special twist by an unforgettable technofied remix of slime from fellow londoner ethyl.
