Ed West & Inja drop ‘Jungle Every Day’ Born On Road for free!!!

When a tunes just too good to be free and yet it is!!! Ed West & Inja just fired off the Junglist anthem of 2017!! (we know it’s still 2016 btw) ‘Jungle Every Day’. Rolling breaks and grab you by the throat bars with more than a subtle nod to a certain Congo Natty classic. The original alone is more addictive than sugary doughnuts but there’s still more! Rahmanee, Fleck, & Gold Dubs all bring their own fiyah brand (Firebrand?) to a massive tune in it’s own right!!!

Serial Killaz have a new EP out on the Streetlife imprint with the great title ‘Jungle Came First’ plus the equally good tagline ‘9 slices of heavyweight Jungle/Drum & Bass from the legendary Serial Killaz. we couldn’t put it any better ourselves, it’s a given this is an essential EP. We’ll leave it to the best copy writer in Jungle/DnB, Mr Jamie S23  to give the low down on this fantastic release….

Serial Killaz return to their legendary Streetlife Label with their aptly titled Jungle Came First EP, featuring 5 wicked riddims that will cater for everyone looking for that feel good vibe. It really spans across the board from brand new flavours, chilled out vibes to a mixture of 90’s meets 2016. This EP is nothing short of an education for the masses.

The title track Jungle Came First slams straight in with a bassline heavy horn intro which builds into something that can only be described as full on bouncy upfront jungle. Percussion patterns link effortlessly with elastic bass that will no doubt appeal to previous fans of Serial Killaz production.

Switching into beautiful atmospheric pads and reverbed vocal samples, the intro of Sub Dub certainly sets a different tone. The progression from the intro is effortless and the whole track has a certain element of calm and tranquility which takes the listener on a rolling journey while still forcing them to nod their head to the infectious kick and snare.

Tubes and Springs is in a similar style to Sub Dub and although slightly more upbeat with its drum patterns and driving bass, it’s easy to hear how well both tracks compliment each other. What really makes this track though, is the crafty under the kick bassline that will shake you to your core.

Taking elements of various Serial Killaz roots, Prophecy follows that familiar route of reggae samples aplenty and jolly organ samples before crashing down with chopped Amen breaks and plenty of wicked drum programming. This one is certainly for the original die hard junglists!

African Drums finishes off the EP and provides a nice blend of everything so far and tosses them into a big mixing pot. As the track moves forwards, so does the elements of production as if the longer you listen, the more things develop.

Lee Pearce rounds off an accomplished 2017 with his new EP on Fxtion ‘Pull It’

‘Pull It’ and ‘Pump’ are both full of the masterfully crafted signature sound of this artist. You can hear the attention in detail right down to the drums, always a prominent and enjoyable feature of Lee’s tracks.  Overall there’s a definite Tech House leaning to the sounds here. Think premiere labels like Simma Black for an idea of the slick production and captivating synths and beats.

Jimmy Switch gives ‘Pull It’ a tough gritty workout akin to the style of Suara & Lapsus Music. Ben Read is also on board following his own excellent release for Fxtion. His take on ‘Pull It’ is a well rounded aquatic sounding melodic techno sound that completely grabs the attention. Support great music, buy this EP!!!

Carusoff dazzles us with the sublime House/Garage beats of ‘The Way I Feel’ out on Hustler Trax

The original is a light bouncing oldskool groove with little hints of subtle distortion, a nod to the growing Lo-Fi sound. This is pure Paradise Garage material from start to finish with familiar vocal refrains like ‘Don’t Break It’ lending even more to the 90’s influence.

A string of remixes are on offer to please every House music nuance. We can thank Josh Gregg/Albizzy, Raw Underground, & Dub Striker for adding a sizable touch of class to a whole lotta classiness!!!

If you caught our 2 previous Bernhardt posts, you would have read that his identity was being kept under wraps. That is the case no longer though as we can announce now that it is the new alias of the bearded Techno warrior, Hostage. His new alias of course, comes with a new sound and is one that is geared more towards creating more heat for the dance floor for the partygoers to really feed off. Bernhardt is set to hit it hard in 2017 so keep your eyes open, as this modified Techno warrior may be heading to your neck of the woods for a serious party!

Being a fairly recent convert to Techno and because I’ve been liking what I’ve been hearing from the Bernhardt side of things, I had to send out an invite for our advent calendar and as you can see, the answer was a resounding, yes! ‘Oil’ is the track that’s been kindly sent our way and it’s got the LSM HQ literally rocking! It’s hard as nails yet totally hypnotic at the same time and will most definitely create a moment of euphoric pleasure when encountered on a dance floor. If your bells start jingling, there’s a very good chance someone nearby has got this one maxed out!

As you’ll see below, there’s new Bernhardt mix out too which can only be seen as an added bonus! Sample more of his ground shattering tracks in that mix and then hit the links to find even more.
