I may well have described albums before as having ‘something for everyone’ on them, but this compilation album from the French collective, Unda, really is one that caters for everyone. The free 14 tracks that are on offer come from some super talented French artists, along with sprinkling of international artists too. Your first listen of the album will have you wondering what style of amazing music is around the next corner as they deliver a brilliant collection of Hip Hop, Dub, Reggae, House, Techno, Breakbeat, Drum n Bass and Jungle tracks. If you like all of of those styles or just one, you will definitely find gold once you get digging. Enjoy!

For Criterion’s latest vinyl release we get Phuture T & Drum Cypha bringing the amen break love with a couple of Jungle gems.

Phuture T ‘Jungle Soul’ opens with big sweeping chords a la DJ Junk, Engineers without Fears et al. Familiar house diva vocals add to the atmosphere before things quickly get dark n’ deep with boomin’ subs and tight break edits

Drum Cypha ‘Got To Let Go’ eases the listener with beautiful ambient chords that heat up nicely with subtle builds and spacial FX. The timeless Jungle  technique of light vs darkness is employed masterfully here in a track whose production qualities can really be appreciated.

DJ Hybrid continues his run of stellar jungle/DnB anthems with a fresh EP on Sub Liminal. Featuring collabs with label boss Agro, The ‘Murder Sound EP’ combines 170BPm purism with ultra-authentic synths and basslines and a NuSkool aesthetic. When you have killer tracks like ‘Kung Fu Master’ among this fine quartet you know you’re onto something good!!!

If you didn’t know about the depth of talent in the Slovenian DnB scene, you’re sure to get a hard and fast education from this four track monster by Telekinesis on Blackout Recordings.

Individually, Smooth and Markoman have some solid pedigree, but as a duo they have found a partnership that continues to grow and develop with previous releases for State Of Mind, Bad Taste and Viper to their credit. Plenty of the scene’s glitterati have championed the boys’ work since they formed in 2009 – from DJ Hype on his KISS FM show to Crissy Criss on his BBC Radio 1 show. The New World Order EP, however, feels like a coming of age piece that is set to bring Telekinesis out of the shadows and into the technicolour glow of the big time. You know, that kind of musical craftsmanship where upon first listen you feel like “Yeah, I got these guys’ sound now and I’m totally on board!” – bobbing your head, pulling a bassface, whilst at the same time imagining the plethora of situations that could be graced with a little side of “Conspiracy”. Maybe the commute is getting you down, so you shove on “NWO” to release the endorphin-like tingle that makes the whole world seem like a better place.

However you use them, this particular collection of tracks feels like it was custom-made for Blackout. Punchy beats, rolling basslines and a dark energy that is invigorating and fearsome all at the same time. The New World Order is here, and it has Telekinesis at the helm.

TELEKINESIS REVEAL THE NEW WORLD ORDER

I guess it goes without saying that I’m always on the look out for new names to bring you and finding them is always a great pleasure. What’s even better than that is when they find you, which is the case with New York based producer, LowLight. He followed me on Soundcloud and as he had a number of tracks next to his name, an investigation had to take place. The investigation this time turned out to be me hitting the jackpot as what I found was a honey hole of Liquid Drum n Bass, with much of it up for free download, double bonus!

From the music posted we bring you LowLight’s most recent piece of work, the dark, atmospheric roller that is ‘Summer Haze’ that will instantly have your mind skipping back to those warmer days. We’ve also added in a free 4 track EP from his back catologue because, well, why not, it’s amazing and needs to be heard, just like all of his music. Once again it’s time to turn on, tune in and cop out to an abundance of breathtaking sounds.

Skinley’s latest EP for Anti Social Records demands your ears by the means of boundary-smashing beats of brilliance. DnB is an ocean of a genre which makes standing out a difficult task. Yet when you hear tracks like ‘Unite’ & ‘Lifted’ you recognise those beats but the overall sound is a whole new design taking in Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Dub Reggae and much more.

It’s DnB Jim, but not as we know it. It boldly goes where no man has gone before seeking out new lifeforms!!!
