THE FRAMED DREAMS OF LOKI
12 Inch
14.02.12
ncql annouces himself in no uncertain fashion with the anthemic strings of >the framed dreams of loki<. the track nods to dj premier, prefuse 73 and classic metalheadz d&b hidden agenda style and theres a subtle (!) reference to a certain classic 90s rave tune in there aswell. it sounds like a mess – its anything but! this is uplifting breakbeat at its very best. its not often a tune gets played twice by bailey on his bbc 1xtra show in the space of a month, so this must be something special. the flipside has a similar organic & uplifting aesthetic. a strutting break is the base for a deluge of warmth in the shape of synths, strings, flutes, harp and vocals – an unusual sound palette for a drum & bass track these days but refreshing to hear. dj flight thought so and has aired it on one of her next chapter rinse fm broadcasts.

3x12 Inch
04.08.16
this collection of vinyls kicks off with the epic blackness of nebula s amen led -noir-, then flips the script with the ethereal medeski, martin & wood sampling -speechless- by dub one. the vibe goes from leisurely to insanity and back again when the drum machines of alpha omega s -know how- are added to railroading breaks supplied by aroma nice & earl grey. the combination makes for an epic remix of the debut subtle audio release. mecca goes for a more stripped down approach on the aptly titled -analysis-. the sudden injection of breakbeat mayhem near the end is all the more devastating after the spacious rhythm section that lays the track s foundation. ncql s -breath of the eve- marries clipped vocals, soaring atmospherics and a driving amen for a track that has become a subtle audio anthem since it s digital release back in 2013. after numerous requests they ve bowed to the pressure and given it a vinyl press! the breaks in reactiv s -metatron falls- pulse and move with real vibrancy, their vitality representative of the injection of energy a new breed of breakbeat manipulators have given to this style of d&b / jungle. if you want to hear what they have to offer, then this release would be a good place to start ! here s to the next decade. -
