VA- LET IT BE TOLD [ANONYMOUS RECORDS]
So who’s ready for 23 tracks of fresh OldSkool Hardcore/Jungle/Rave beats by new producers? So, you’ll want to know about ‘Let It Be Told’ out now on Anonymous Records, read on and see why you have to have this compilation!!!!
Paul Cronin offers a hefty contribution of 3 tracks and 2 remixes, TV theme fuelled breakbeat hardcore heavy hitter ‘Mafia’, manic Aphex Twin/classic arcade game tribute ‘Pacman Terror’ featuring some of Paul’s trademark euphoric piano for good measure, the aptly named Euro style ‘Torpedo’ and then theres the matter of those remixes, two tracks by Mimang also featured in their original form on the LP get Paul’s tough n’ ready treatment ‘Flame On A Star’ and ‘Rock On The Spot’, the former getting a darker edge while the latter a polar opposite of hyperspeed uplifting sounds.
Raveolver has 4 tracks on ‘Let It Be Told’, all on the experimental tip blending elements of Trap, Footwork, Jungle, techno and oldskool all into one, all 4 will go down well at events like Bangface where variety is definitely the spice of life!!!
DJ Wislov features with 3 absolute pearls of oldskool goodness, ‘Baila’ has the feel of DJ Seduction circa 92/93, ‘Unknown Anthem’ has the Basement Records sound down to a 4×4 kick and ‘The Bouncer’ is a knowing nod to a popular rave tune from back in the day, you can guess!!!
Mimang as mentioned earlier along with Paul Cronin’s bone crunching remixes, has 3 tracks, ‘Keep Doing What You Doing’ will appeal to fans of Slammin Vinyl Recs and Red Alert/Mike Slammer, frantic and sample heavy, ‘Rock On The Spot’ is the epitome of the 92 Hardcore Techno sound, interjections of breaks momentarily interrupt the stomping beats and pure Belgian style stabbage, ‘Flame In A Dark Star’ pays homage to early Vibes & Wishdokta and will definitely inject liveliness in your sets and at the Raves
Theres room for a bit of Tech House with Acid House leanings thanks to Dimi P’s ‘Akshun’, Gareth Monks, a producer of the moment joins in the OldSkool revival with ‘4EVER4U’ sounding very much like a fast and punchy take on Manix and the Reinforced Recs sound, perhaps a touch of Production House and Rising High Recs too, its all in there!!! Gentleman Bastard’s ‘Devastate To Motivate’ is such an authentic oldskool rhythm, it could have been a dubplate from the turntables of Ellis Dee, Speed Garage dons Underheadz get OldSkool with ‘Drum N’ Breakz’ quite simply a party igniter, serious heater with big mentasm riffs a la ‘Charly’, Shifter adds some 00’s style hardcore Breaks in ‘If You Die A Devil’, Liam Taylor shows once again why he is such a talented producer with ‘Immortal Crew’, one for the Happy Hardcore crew!!!! Nayim lays down some more of that piano to make you melt and give you goosebumps, that will be ‘Looking Your Eyes’ to complete this epic 23 track LP, the hardest working man in NuSkool/OldSkool Nicky Allen takes a trip to 1992 packed with crisp amen breaks, subs OldSkool style and riffs to gurn to even if you’re T Total, a ‘Powerful New Force’ is about to hit this city!!!! The force will be with you when you rave to this certified banger!!!!
All in all, if you truly love those halcyon sounds from way back when, then fear not because each of these tracks are brand new and represent a new breed of producers keeping the vibe alive, its incumbent that we support!!!
