Review: N4 Records bring a new split EP to our ears, not quite equally dividing the disc-space between producers Cheetah and Janaway. The former soundpusher, Cheetah, offers 'See Dem Talk' and 'Touch Me' on the A-side respectively - the former indulging relentless ragga sampleage come pitched-down snare-shots, the latter rave-piano and chipmunk catharses. Janaway meanwhile entirely dominates the B-side, with similarly raggaific consciousness streams set against a more rapidly and complexly patterned amen science on 'Duplate To The Head'; also our proverbial weapon of choice. Then 'Full Speed' also goes ravey; the track is heard ranting too, either through its use of distant patois exclamations, doubly delayed "soul!" shouts and, not least, orchestral hits worthy of a rave adherent of the oldest school.
Review: UK Hardcore will never die, especially with labels like Remix continually kicking out the jams. Their latest high grade weaponry comes from Kingside who does indeed super-size the beats here. 'The Right Time' is pure piano-laced euphoria with big breakbeats and a heart-tugging vocal. 'Coming On Strong' then gets more physical as it ups the speed of the drums, works in yelping vocal snatches, kills things dead with filters and generally causes utter carnage. 'Happy Hardcore Track' is an archetypal version of just that. Pure vibes that cannot fail to explode any party with big smiles and hands-in-the-air energy.
Review: This new one on Aphrodite Recordings offers a rare chance to own some previously unreleased hardcore history. Crafted by Urban Shakedown founders Aphrodite and Kaukuta, these two unreleased Moonwalk tracks date back to 1993. ever since they were made back then at the height of hardcore's popularity, though, they have remained forgotten on a DAT tape. After being recently rediscovered, they have been pressed up to this 12" with 'Meditation' offering a blitz of pulsating drums and funky bass, thrilling breaks and sci-fi melodies that reagin down the face of the track, while 'Outer Space' is more raw and direct with a menacing low end and plenty of kinetic drum programming.
Review: First released as a six-track, digital-only EP in the summer of 2023, Jay Glass Dubs' DJ Humble makes its bow on CD in freshly expanded form. The release was considered quite unusual on its initial release, moving away from the fractured electronica and opaque experimental dub recordings of his earlier years towards a more intense and energetic sound inspired by the formative years of breakbeat hardcore and jungle. Of course, the sometime Berceuse Heroique artist's experimental instincts still hold sway, leading to such dystopian - but admittedly thrilling moments as 'Seconds Away', where hectic beats are smothered in layers of melodic electronics and weird noises, the fiendishly avant-garde d&b insanity of 'Packing Someone Else's Fire', and the hallucinatory jungle-IDM fusion of 'Wing It'.
