SOUL INTENT レコード& CD

Review: Deep atmospheric jungle is definitely having a moment right now with labels such as Omni Music and Codename RCRDS and Deep Jungle incubating some outstanding art, Kid Drama and DJ Trace's Nine Windows project setting benchmarks and, way ahead at the forefront, Soul Intent doing what he's been doing for the best part of 20 years. Atmospherics is the perfect example. His deepest and most cosmic of albums, the full trip is an epic sci-fi odyssey that sucks you in on an iMax level. These four cuts are some of the most clubbier-minded cuts, especially for the vinyl heads. From the hurricane breaks of the title track to the jazzy rolling drums of 'Dying Star', this is an exceptional snapshot of an incredible album.

Review: Reload to 2017, Soul Intent dropped one of his most comprehensive bodies of work to date: 'Delusions Of Grandeur'. Over six years later, here come the remixes from the likes of Ed:it, Chromatic, DKN and Soully himself. Uncompromising, underground and straight to core, each reboot really hones in on the pure drum & bass craft of the originals. Ed:it takes 'Test Fire' to Metalheadzian places, while Chromatic's take on 'Took Funky' goes full on turbo mode. Elsewhere Soul Intent's VIP of 'Nearly There' adds a little extra va-va-voom while DKN's take on 'Cry For You' finishes the EP with iciest happy slap you've ever endured. Grand!
