Following on from the success of our ‘Liftin Spirit Reloaded’ vinyl series, we are pleased to announce our next project in collaboration with Ram Records. ‘Ram Reloaded’ will be a series of limited 12″ vinyl from Ram’s early years, re-mastered from the original DATs and presented onto our usual, high quality, heavy weight vinyl. Andy C’s follow up to his previous ‘Bass Logic’ EP came in 1993 with the title track ‘Slip ‘N’ Slide.

Original vocals which were performed by Andy’s local friend Karen, layered over African vocal sample chants. Hardcore flavours with a nod back to Eastern Promise’s (RAMM2) high sub blip echoes.

Instantly recognisable string pad chords highlight precision tooled breakbeats of the newer Jungle genre that had emerged out of Hardcore. Heralded as a true classic from that year. ‘Cool Down’ was originally the A side of RAMM12, this Amen tear out track with the vocal ‘cool down the dance hall’ did exactly the opposite, setting dance floors ablaze with its energy and attack[info sheet from distr.]
