So in all the time I've been putting releases together for Future Retro London, I've never once done a VA (various artists) EP, which is crazy considering how much I love when other labels do it!

It's usually a really good way to present multiple artists and their different takes on some sort of theme or style that ties all the tracks together. For this release, I wanted to showcase the atmospheric sound of jungle that I really enjoy listening to and making & I'm really pleased to have these four talented producers representing that style, each in their own unique way.

Nebula is one of my favourite producers of the atmospheric style, I've been a huge fan of the music he's released on Scientific Wax & Subtle Audio and have been lucky enough to also have had his music released on my label, with "Sounds From The Jungle" now being the latest addition.

Submerse is someone who I'm very envious of, in terms of how easy it seems to be for him to conjure up these really cool musical ideas and melodies in his tunes that sounds so rich & upbeat & full, represented quite well by his track on this release called "Nobody Knows".

ASC is a producer who I knew of at the time, for making Autonomic & minimal drum & bass on labels like Exit, Samurai & his own label Auxillary, but had made jungle in his past, before I had become familiar with his music. Recently however, he has started to revisit this sound, putting out some really interesting tunes on his newer labels Spatial & Mindgames, so when I had the idea for doing a VA EP of atmopsheric jungle, I knew it would make sense to finally have some music from him on Future Retro London.

I've known of Jesta's music mainly through his collaborations with Gremlinz on labels like Metalheadz, Paradox Music & Rupture, but for a while now, he's been sending me some really solid tunes that he's been making on his own. When I heard "Feel Like I Could Fly" (at the time called Caveman), I really liked the track & knew that it would be a good fit for this release.
