Going forward here at the blog we will aim to curate and compile regular Soundcloud playlists of the best current Jungle & DnB with a brief rundown on why they’re awesome and you need to buy them!!!

DJ Hybrid’s new EP on the Serial Killaz label is classic Jungle and futuristic DnB at the same time. Every track on this spectacular release is pure raver’s delight. Walter’s new EP on Good Street Music features the Bass cum Jungle rinse out ‘All Day’ featured in this list and the other tracks on their EP are every bit as good.

Command Strange have a two track EP on V Recordings that skank with the brilliance that you would expect from the prestigious label and then some. Dawn Raid delights us with venomous Techstep rollers like ‘Light The Beacon’ on their latest release on Mac II Digital.

Mayan Audio have pulled out the stops for an awesome summer compilation featuring top artists spanning the globe including US DnB dons Pish Posh & Signalfista whose killer track ‘Broken Nights’ features in our list below

A Sides celebrates a quarter century in the Jungle/DnB game with an EP that includes tracks like ‘Ultimate’, a pure 90s/00’s Techstep monster tune and all the better for it. Lynx demonstrates their innovative style with the second instalment in the ‘Vaults’ series, you don’t want to miss it!

We finish with a tantalisingly glowering track from Lurk taken from the excellent Evolve: Phase One EP. The EP also includes top tunes by Terrahawk, Creatures, Subtle Element, and Safety In Numbers.

For us here at Free Breaks Blog, Skeleton Army releases represent the highlight of the year. Because we know that they are always going to be extra special. with this in mind we eagerly awaited the preview clips of the ‘For Always EP’ and were knocked off our seat when we heard them. The EP is out 29/08/16 on Different Attitudes as an initial Traxsource exclusive.

We get two two enchanting and magical slices of Deep House. One of them ‘For Always’ has two stunning mixes. Firstly the ‘Raw Mix’ works a breathless Minnie Riperton over early morning spacial grooves and carefully weaved 4×4 kicks and shuffling breakbeats wherein lurk low-end sub bass brilliance.

The ‘Smooth Mix’ filters the vocals into a glorious drop before reintroducing the breaks and kicks combo and warm funky bassline for a super soulful excursion.

‘Morning Glory 2016′ reminds us in the most pleasing way that there will always be an element of the legendary Foul Play to Skeleton Army’s music. You could easily shed a few tears listening to the raver’s favourite ‘until the night is morning’ vocal (for those who know). Combined with the rumbling bass and spine-tingling keys  here is a track that should never leave your box, it’s that simple

This gem of an EP, easily one of the best of 2016 in any genre let alone House Music is out 29/8/16

Pythius-Heresy EP [Blackout]

Even though he is at the core and is one of the vital cogs in the Desert Hearts party machine, Marbs is only just making his debut on the label. That in itself is quite remarkable and so is the music he has on offer for us. His ‘Tusk & Tales’ EP features 4 free tracks that are just out this world and truly breathtaking.

The title track from the EP ‘Tusk & Tales’ is very much a music journeyman’s track. It’s one of those tunes you’ll get lost in and wander off into with no concept of what’s going on in the real world. Spanish producer, TÂCHES backs up the the track with a thoroughly soul soothing remix to boot. ‘Loveish’ is Marbs second free tune that’s packed with hypnotic Tribal vibes and the final track ‘Pink Skies’ delivers a wave of ethereal warmth to give a golden glow to everyone who experiences it. Must have music!

If you’ve caught a post of ours featuring music from SanFranDisko before, you’re probably expecting another dose of delicious Disco from one of his superb edits. Not this time though because the editing business that’s going down is strictly all about Acid House vibes that are being applied to the 80’s hit ‘Heat It Up’ by, The Wee Papa Girl Rappers. It’s old skool that’s so cool!
