Liquid DnB - Part 1

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/krustremixes

On 9th July Crosstown Rebels released ‘TTOE Remixes #3’ – the third in a trio of Eps featuring reworks from Krust’s lauded masterpiece ‘The Edge Of Everything’. The selection of top-drawer artists delighted to rub shoulders with the revered master added UNKLE, Hodge and DJ Nature to a list that has seen Masters At Work, Four Tet, Damian Lazarus, Batu, Calibre, LCY and Flynn all deliver inspired versions. Following ‘TTOE Remixes #3’ EP, the full set of reworks is now released via Crosstown Rebels as an album called ‘The Edge Of Everything - Remixed’.

Linking back to a shared history that saw Krust (alongside Roni Size) remix DJ Krush’s ‘Dig This Vibe’ and also provide their own track ‘Tribetoon’ for the seminal ‘Headz 2’ compilation, both on James Lavelle’s label Mo’Wax, now the influential DJ/producer/A&R delivers arguably his best ever work under the UNKLE alias, with deep breakbeat goodness that’s both classic and perfectly now.

A sonic son of Krust, fellow Bristolian Hodge works ‘Constructive Ambiguity’ into a proggy new school breaks monster that carves the original’s metallic bass into sharp new shapes, whilst sparkling like melodic stars is Four Tet’s take on ‘Negative Returns’, which packs a deceptively heavy punch, maintaining the original’s hurtling velocity, fuelled by a huge sub-bass engine.

In an exchange that reaches back to 1997, Krust sampled Masters At Work alias Nuyorican Soul’s ‘Nautilus (Mawtilus)’/‘Mind Fluid’ on his game-changing single ‘Soul In Motion’. This was reciprocated in 1998 by Nuyorican Soul’s remix of ‘Watching Windows’ by Reprazent, of which Krust was a key member. Here the duo individually known as Kenny ”Dope” Gonzalez and Little Louie Vega deliver pure audiophile euphony, somewhere between broken beat, real house, cosmic acid and future jazz funk.

A rugged halftime head-nodder (which again brings things full circle) is by Krust’s brother Flynn – a fellow member of 1989 ‘Wishing On A Star’ hitmakers Fresh 4 alongside Krust, and also a jungle legend in his own right, as half of veteran duo Flynn & Flora. More West Country royalty comes from Wild Bunch founder Milo Johnson AKA DJ Nature’s wigged-out Martian house by way of New York – which, in another of Krust’s many thematic circles – echoes the Latin-tinged, blunted science of Nu Yorican Soul’s ‘Mind Fluid’ and ‘The Nervous Track’.

Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus maintains Krust’s epic adventure narrative, retelling the tale in his own words, taking recognisable parts from the original and transposing them into a groovy cosmic house odyssey, whilst Calibre turns ‘It’s A Lot’ into a warm, glowing two-step roller with serrated analogue bass and masterful musicality befitting his classical training.

The spiralling beat-and-bass science of Batu’s version takes ‘Space Oddity’ and deconstructs it like a cubist portrait, matching Krust himself in pure outside-the-box original expression. Rising new school leader LCY is clearly a kindred spirit too, rivalling Krust with their future-facing breakbeat science that’s equally as compelling and inventive as the original.

With such inspiring source material, it’s unsurprising that all of the remixers have brought their best game to this impeccable collection.

"As you may or may not know WHYT NOYZ is now a solo project driven by me. The Heart Strings EP got it's name from this unique transition between two life-long friends. Just like music, life is constantly evolving. Doors close while windows open and it is up to us to recognise this and not let opportunities pass us by. The four tracks on this EP are more of what you expect from WHYT NOYZ. Heart Strings is the kind of track that not only gains love from discerning Underground Techno-heads but also grabs a lot of outsider attention. Bounc3 and Elastic always gets the party started and Fairground tends to put people in a frenzy state, it's pretty addictive! I hope everyone enjoys listening to the EP as much as I do playing it!"

As the old saying goes, you wait so long something and then two turn up in a row. Head honcho Goldie is back on the firm after his solo single ‘Broken Man’ end of 2015 with two versions of absolute Rufige Kru classics. First up is SCAR’s remix of Dark Rider, premiered by Goldie himself at Deviation to an massive crowd reaction- SCAR bring Dark Rider into 2016 in inimitable style.
Beachdrifta is perhaps Rufige Kru’s most seminal moment and  the VIP pushes it out to another realm with Cleveland Watkiss vocal, a voice synonymous with Goldie’s classic work.

On this third release from CODE, we bring up some of the finest names in liquid dnb for remix duties on several Science Fiction classics. Upon their initial release back in 2008 on the now defunct Inside Recordings, "Jah No Dead" and "I Ask You Why" caused quite a stir on the scene for their dub influenced vibes. Limited to only a few vinyl presses, word quickly spread within the scene and copies have long since disappeared. 

By comparison, Bungle's remix of "Spanish Sun" has long been something of a liquid anthem. Originally featured on the flipside of the infamous "Song For Lovers" 12" .. the track was quickly picked up by Drum n Bass Arena as part of their Summer Selection compliation. In more recent years since, Bungle aka Andre Sabota has been pushing his sound into both house and techno whilst still dropping drum n bass anthems like the recent Soul:r release "Astral Travel". 

CODE is now proud to release these three landmark liquid dnb tracks for the first time ever on digital download.
