Scratch Jaguar Skills Hooks up with DnB Bad Man Chords

The result is

Lust

A Smooth n Soulful Dnb Roller with Matti Roots on the Mic

Out Now on Ram Records: http://tinyurl.com/nevyg8t

Jaguar Skills needs little introduction; he’s infamous for his ninja-like DJing skills with years stacked behind the decks.

As a result, it was no surprise the artist tried his hands at production alongside Chord’s impressive musicality. Already unstoppable from its conception, ‘Lust’ could only be released on an imprint known for its high quality. And RAM Records is proud to unleash this toe-tapping, catchy piece of sonic artwork on the dnb community…One that’s already taken the radio airwaves by storm.

Opening with a rhythm that curls itself around your aural senses, prepare to be pulled into ‘Lust’ by its funky groove and well-chiselled hooks. The vocal delight of Matti Roots really brings light to the seasonal feel this track creates; an arpeggio of notes underpins each high-hitting voice crescendo. Bright but not without substance, Chords’ production style is instantly recognisable. This debut from Jaguar Skills serves as a perfect platform for the high standards this mix-maker is about to set, as well as the benchmark which Chords has already carved.

On the flipside, Break holds onto the A-side’s sunny disposition, yet throws down a riddim that hits as heavy as a freight train. The foundations laid by the producer are slightly different, as it rattles forward with clinking percussion, alluding to the kind of drop Break is renowned for. With his distinctive, boundary-pushing drum rolls and bouncy, booming and concise hits, there’s no mistaking a sound which adds another dimension to the remixes’ original.

You’re also served up with another dish which is vastly different from house-guru Monstro. like the previous edit, the record’s humanism winds up within the first thirty seconds, however the seismic impact of its drop rolls out into a house-bassline that thumps with every bar. A genre transition which doesn’t fall short of the original’s production prowess, prepare to hold onto your seats because this serves as the optimal way to wrap up two striking remixes of an already impressive track list.

Dominating playlists for years to come, this release from RAM is yet again taking the genre to another level. But considering the parties involved, there was no other direction for this record to take.

BAM (a.k.a. Afrika Baby Bam) of the legendary ‘90s hip-hop group ‘THE JUNGLE BROTHERS’ and Austrian

DJ and producer MR.DERO team up to take the positive hip hop vibes of the Native Tongues Era to 2014.

First comes „THIS“, then comes „THAT“, then finally the album „THIS & THAT“. Legendary Jungle Brothers MC Bam and Austrian producer Mr.Dero joined forces on their EP/LP trilogy: Rump-shaking grooves, a little bit of reggae and Bam’s laid-back rap performance bring a breath of fresh air to a rap scene that’s increasingly bored of monotonuos trap productions.

As one might remember: Hip hop started out at a party. Fat beats for the summer and raps that are not all about bragging, but turning the party out – that’s the flavour Bam & Mr.Dero go for on their collabo trilogy „THIS & THAT“.

Both of them know perfectly well what they’re doing: Austrian hip hop enthusiast Mr.Dero has been spinning, producing and organizing club nights for seventeen years now and knows what’s moving urban dancefloors. And Bam (aka Afrika Baby Bam)? He’s nothing short of a living legend. As a part of New York rap crew The Jungle Brothers he helped creating a movement that still has an impact on hip hop culture today: the Native Tongues. Together with fellow artists A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and Queen Latifah the JBeez started a positive, good-humored, yet consciuos counter movement against all those grimey looking, gold chain wearing bad boy rappers that still influences young artists today. On top of that Bam and the Jbeez took a chance at a musical crossover that’s been unheard of in those days: With their track „I’ll House You“ they combined hip hop and house music and created a style that still resonates in contemporary EDM: hip house.

In their transatlantic collabo project Bam & Mr.Dero picked up that thread and produced tracks that are as dope as danceable. Since they met and became friends at one of Dero’s club nights they’ve been working together to bring back that positive vibe from the Native Tongue era in a very original fashion. Catchy production with a heavy bass, soulful grooves, feelgood vibes and Bam, who’s definitely having fun in the booth – that’s „THIS“, their first EP.

Already the first single „On & On“, a feelgood block party anthem aiming directly at the dance floor, had a heavy impact in the blogosphere. „Work That“, the video single with its driving disco groove, reminisces the late 70’s, „Take My Heart“ mixes up funk, reggae and hip hop to create a real summer hit. Based on a classic b-boy breakbeat, „The Weekend“ comes with jamaican off-beats skanks, while „Yes You Can“ combines dub’ish sounds and a classic shout-and-response call. And „Dance“ sounds exactly as it’s named, an uptempo track aimed at the dance floor.

Where there is a „THIS“, there should also be a „THAT“, and so this first EP is only the beginning of a series of releases to come. The follow-up EP „THAT“ will be released in february next year, directly succeeded by the full-length and bonus-stuffed album „THIS & THAT“. The whole series of releases is accompanied by a caringly executed visual campaign that’s not only another record cover artwork, but a piece of art by itself.

Bam & Mr.Dero know perfectly well what they are doing. And on top of that, they love what they do. You can see, hear and feel that. And the world’s dance floors will prove them right.

New Zealander AP3X is synonymous with his deep and dark sounding Breaks but here he hits us with a hour of deep and dark driving Techno from his Primal Vibration mix series. If you’re debating on whether to head out or not press play and worry about the consequences the day after because once play is pressed auto-pilot will kick in and you’ll be on a dance floor in no time!

Wuki is the genre-blending solo project of Denver-based producer Kris Barman.
Influenced by the sounds of Detroit ghettoes and Chicago footwork scenes, Barman’s ability to seamlessly mix booty, breaks, electro, and house into hard-hitting club-shakers has become a trademark of the Wuki sound.

Here he delivers on all points with an Ep of the finest breaks, beats and bass. Limited FREE DOWNLOAD for one month only.
