Drum And Bass/Jungle

Review: The force is strong on this one. Literally... DJ Jedi has recruited a selection of artists from Luna-C's seminal happy hardcore label Kniteforce to remix his tracks and every act has turned in a blinder. Gothika Shade brings a little dark roll to "Feel It", Cru-L-T (another alias for smart-e-pants Knight in shining armour Luna-C) whips up a high octane twist on "Bring The Beat Back" and Russian rave wizard Ant To Be deconstructs the layers and on "Escapism". Finally Captain Triceps closes the show under his more conventional alias Paul Bradley with an outstanding drum chiselled twist on "Brainwashed". Thank you and good knite!

Review: Don't fear this Reaper... Reaper Recordings is a mysterious brand new label with little information besides their dedication to the jungle craft. If this launch release from Ghosty (AKA Hungry Ghost) is anything to go by, they're not mucking around. "Dead Already" is a powerful subby slammer with eerie top lines and drums that could pierce concrete while "Forward" takes more of a sassy soul approach on the musicality but still drops deep into gully science when it needs to.

Review: Rewind to 2014: the duo previously known as Technicolour & Komatic galvanize everything they'd done before with a debut album that boosted them several levels. Four years later and Desire Paths remains a vast and vibrant set rich in emotion in all directions. From evergreen soulful, highly strung roll-outs such as "Beneath The Skies", "Music Is Music" and "Night Vision" to darker pacers like "Innermost" and "Tectonic" via off-piste surprises like the jazzed out "Mucky Jeff", this debut album stands the test of time perfectly. Last pressed two years ago, now's your chance to grab the vinyl if you missed it before.
