Sound Shifter, X E Dos, Schoco, and Wellbelove provide a massive dose of fresh Future Jungle/Jungle/DnB. Style Snatchers Vol 3 on Boomsha Recordings ups the ante a considerable notch yet again…

We start with the aptly titled ‘Day Rising’ sounding like a very lively Future Jungle sunrise with lush percussion, bleeps and touches of funky guitar plus gorgeous ambient pads. Schoco takes the original in a drumfunk direction with a massive drop.

X E Dos brings a hefty dose of oldskool jungle class with a tough, melodic rerub of ‘Sentient Realm’

We go back to 94′ for the amen ruffage meets euphoric rushy pianos of ’94 Bad’ and as a very special surprise, a returning Wellbelove gets involved with an atmosphere rich remix in the vein of his own ‘Dark Sun’ track.

The bar gets raised every time with each Boomsha release and with this final EP of the year, 2017 has been put on notice!!!

Sound Shifter- Style Snatchers Vol 3

Since 2014, those dandy gents at Gents & Dandy’s Records have been consistently living up to the tagline ‘quality underground house music’. We catch up with some fresh heat from this dandy label!!!

Criss Korey – The Rhodes EP

Mention of the word ‘Rhodes’ conjures up images of the seminal piano as played by by the Cottonmouth character in Netflix/Marvel show ‘Luke Cage’. Criss Korey sure tinkles the ivorys on that classic piece of instrumentation for the 2 super lush house rhythms that make the ‘Rhodes EP’. A fine addition to the Gents & Dandy’s Records back cat

QLab – 808 EP + Free Track

Squelchy 303s, double bass, Mr Fingers style beats, swirly synths and Hip Hop vox are the soul food ingredients for ‘Drama’. Off-kilter horns, shards of melody and tense overtones provide the deliciously dark aftertaste of ‘Etna’. Italian trio Qlab really delve deep and deliver a stunning release here

There is also this lovely NYC-centric free track from QLab too

Tito Mazzetta – Give It EP

Tito Mazzetta takes us on a 2 track voyage into the sparkling keys, disco loops, toms,  & ethereal late-night sounds meet to dance in the pale moonlight. Can House music really be this sublime and beautiful? The answer is an affirmative

Dropping in with part 2 of advent day #23 is a couple of ladies that have lit up my mind on numerous occasions this year with the music they’ve been making, Black Girl / White Girl.

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.

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.
