Lord have mercy!!! :D Absolute killa tune man, big up!!!

This needs a rewind somewhere forever and ever and ever 

We are writing the year 3021. The very first gene-manipulated virus-free post-covidians made it to carry their infra speakers back onto earths surface to play sublows for the concrete jungles, or whats left of them at least. They brought their ancient rituals and lullabies from their dungeons: sounding like a dark future of Dub without nice and happy skanking where only ruff and rugged dirty bone structures have remained the centuries below the planet's crust.
The tribe's chief a.k.a. The Duke Of Dub hands down two bare riddims with a jukey groove, highly detailed breakbeat layers and anything closely dubby only greeting from a very far mountain of suffaration:
Everyting Gwan In opens like an easy halftime beat, but sucks the listeners into its roughness quite fast, allowing no breath or sun inside between all them sinister soundscapes and speech scraps.
Fight Dub appears to be fried in the same pan at first, but got a slightly more stepping bass, lifting the classic breaks and vocal bits up into a merciless footwerk climax towards the end. Jah man!

Slow Astro is a new mix series by Fracture which revisits the rich Astrophonica back catalogue and presents it in a new light. Starting with Volumes 1 & 2 featuring music from Sully, Client_03, Philip D Kick & DJ Earl.

"I have always been intrigued by playing audio back at different speeds. Be it speeding up breakbeats to make Jungle or slowing down pop music to make drawn out nostalgic atmospheres. Some of my first experiments with pitch were with my brother. We’d record ourselves onto cassette and use the hi speed dubbing feature to change the pitch of our voices. If you held the play button down half way it would cause the tape to play back at different speeds - mangling the audio.
Over the past year I became fascinated with playing on 7 inch records on 33. New rhythms, grooves and textures appear when you change the pitch of audio. It can totally alter the emotional quality of a piece of music you thought you knew so well - creating new artefacts with a familiar yet dreamlike quality. I started to wonder what the Astrophonica catalogue would sound like slowed down. So I made ‘Slow Astro’. Shout out DJ Screw…" - Fracture

Fracture Presents: Slow Astro Vol 1

Consistently at the leading-edge of underground bass music worldwide, it’s always an honor to bring you new music from J:Kenzo. On ZamZam 88 he steps up for his third Zam, and true to form it’s a masterclass on both sides. 

From the first second of the tune, “Traverse” teleports us straight into equatorial zones; humid spaces of dense green and animal calls from the canopy above. Deep pads and tribal percussion take a path to a driving 4/4 kick, in turn dropping into a massive, rolling bassline that recalls the best of late 2000s and early 2010s 135-140 while keeping the dub flourishes utterly fresh for the now. 

No stranger to garage, especially in his Jodo Kast identity, Kenzo satisfies our love for the form with “Deuce,” bringing the drums and vintage flavor again, but this time in the service of mightily-swung UKG in fine style, expertly dark & dubwise 2 Step that hits just right. Chopped, panned & verbed to perfection, this is hard yet subtle dance music from the roots that nods to the past & winks to the future of funk with the light touch of a don in his prime.

Soundcloud clips always recorded straight from the vinyl with flat EQ so you know what you're getting. 

Releasing mid-October 2022. Vinyl only, no digital. Limited to 800 copies for the world. Two color art & screen print by Polygon Press. Email zamzamsounds@gmail.com for more info.

Qant (live)- Egregore Collective les 6 ans @lemetronum (Février 2023)

🇫🇷
Pour bien débuter cette année 2023, Egregore Collective revient avec un second vinyle sur le label principal. Cette fois, nous plongeons au plus profond d’un océan d’accords réverbérés, de spirales d’échos et de tonalités apaisantes. Pour cette nouvelle incursion dans le domaine du vinyle, au titre approprié de “Tones and Echoes”, nous avons fait appel à 5 spécialistes de la dub musique sous ses formes les plus profondes.

C’est l’allemand Another Channel qui ouvre le bal. Avec des apparitions régulières sur des labels très respectés dans le genre tels que Moonshine Recordings ou encore Modern Hypnosis, il entame les choses en douceur avec une ballade dub apaisante.

Vient ensuite le viennois Mantsche, accompagné de son partenaire Bishop, avec un riddim plus profond, impactant et mélancolique, qui culmine en un second drop stepper qui vous fera skanker pour sûr.

La clôture de la face A est assurée par Masis, collaborateur récent d’Another Channel sur Moonshine Recordings. Il nous amène dans un registre plus profond et minimaliste avec un dub lo-fi ponctué de vocaux qui nous rappellent la destination finale de cette sortie ainsi que le titre du morceau : “Mount Zion”.

Sur la seconde face nous avons un roster 100% Toulousain, avec en premier l’énigmatique Stefan Dubs. Pilier de la scène illégale et underground de la ville rose avec le collectif Folklore, il décline une fois de plus sa production méditative, saturée, et parfois hypnotique, une ode aux fêtes dans le maquis.

On termine avec notre Stacktrace, qui entre deux bangers dancehall nous livre un track progressif, étincelant de shakers cliquetants et roulements de percussions, et comme à son habitude culminant en un second drop singulier avec une mélodie de bassline qui vous restera en tête.


🇬🇧
Kicking off 2023, Egregore Collective is back with a second vinyl release on the main label. This time, we’re diving deep, spiraling down in a sea of reverberated chords and soothing noises. For this new foray in the physical realm, appropriately titled “Tones and Echoes”, we called upon 5 specialists of the deepest forms of dub music. 

Opening the record is Germany’s very own Another Channel. With regular appearances on respected labels of the genre such as Moonshine Recordings or Modern Hypnosis, he delivers a laid back dub ballad to kick things off smoothly.

Following up is Vienna based Mantsche, tagging along his mate Bishop with a deeper, stomping and more melancholic sounding riddim, that slowly builds up to a powerful stepper second drop that’s guaranteed to make you skank.

Closing the A side of the record is Masis, a previous collaborator of Another Channel on Moonshine Recordings. He takes us on a deeper tip with a dusty, minimalistic and lo-fi sounding dub punctuated by vocals chanting the name of the track as well as the final destination of this journey : “Mount Zion”.

On the other side, we have an all-Toulouse roster, starting with the enigmatic Stefan Dubs. Essential component of the illegal and underground scene here in Toulouse with the collective Folklore, he once again showcases his trademark meditative, saturated, and sometimes hypnotic aesthetic with another ode to forest raves in the maquis.

Rounding off the record is our own Stacktrace, taking a break from his dancehall bangers to go back to his roots and sign off on a highly progressive tune, sparkled with clicking shakers and drum rolls, and as always building into a very different second drop with a bassline melody that will stick to your head.

Synesthesia

Pugilist & Tamen - Synesthesia [Rendah Mag Premiere]

When it is about art and music we are fascinated by unexpected sweet spot combinations: When traditional concepts meet new ideas, when darkness meets light, when rough meets the smooth. 
Here at 45Seven Unlimited we enjoy our sweet and salty popcorn and we are always looking for exciting new blends that inject modern beats and basses into a half century of Dub history. This next incarnation of our bubbling melting dub tank hits right in this very honey pot with this double A side by Rainforest.

Bullet Riddim sets the pace for this plate with a nicely syncopated yet rolling groove with deep skanks, playful bass and some delicious drum switching. "My selectah is here to suit your heart desire ... and set your soul on fire" proclaims the vocal chop throughout the intro. And he is not wrong: Bullet is a rollercoaster of Jungle breaks, dubbed out Reggae horns, skanks and FX. Truly a "riddim so nice you gotta play it twice". [...]

Rainforest is transmitting from Mexico, has got a strong graffiti background and releases Drum & Bass music on labels like Shoot, Omni, Absys, Syhda, Monochrome and his own Breakbeat Rebelz. Known for the brilliant Jungle Is Our Dub 7" on 45Seven in 2016 which was almost label defining already, this new plate is even about to run them all out again. "Pull it up"!

This 45RPM 7inch vinyl in stamped cardboard sleeves with catalogue number 
45723 on 45Seven Unlimited will be released in March 2023 through friendly
distribution by Suburban Trash, Unearthed, Toolbox and Hardwax.
Curated, designed, mastered and lacquer cut by LXC of Alphacut in Leipzig

Phuture-T - Dubber Ella (4576AA, 7")

No other but the dubber director Lord LXC is about to kick off 45Seven into 2020. The relaunch comes with a fresh layout & typography for a promising season of subs, slices and sirens - Jungle roots and space Dub 24/7! [...]

Cyanz on the A side took off just as a Sleng Teng copycat bassline in a 303 clone and got warped into this mental acid sub hovered by a ridiculous drum and sampling exercise. This takes you far beyond 160, layering breaks and stuff bit by bit and switching them 8 bars into Concrete Jungle heaven.

"The world is ending so [we] might as well dub everything into chaos!" (Om Unit)

"Cyanz is deep, dubby, acid squelching badness from LXC! Love it, big ups!" (DJ Trax)

"Don't miss the sizzling hot fried 160 BPM dub technology blend from LXC's laboratory - one can actually hear it blister!" (Booga)

"Mind-blowing killer 7“ from a true legend in the field of 160/170 BPM music.
On side one LXC delivers an acid-jungle-dub monster that is ticking all the boxes. Wonky & perfectly shuffled beats, deep & heavy bass, jungle breaks and a TB-303 acidline that makes your synapses sing. Exceptional! On side two the Alphacut & 45Seven bossman is joined by Emperor Echo to build a beautifully crafted timeless dub excursion that would make even King Tubby jealous." (Sun People)

"Drum'n'Bass futurist underdog LXC closes the circle that started with the Acid Tube free parties 2007 in Leipzig and the manifestation of acidous Dubstep on the Lyzerk 7" on Sozialistischer Plattenbau in 2010. After honing the perfect  blend of Halftime, Jungle and Dub music on the 45Seven imprint over the past decade, the bossman himself delivers the perfect homage by fusing Acid bass into the sound - the way Acid House producers have been switching between 3/4  and 4/4 for decades on the silver boxes. What an absolute tune; 100% analogue triplet Acid Dub Jungle with a twist of lime." (Karl Marx Stadt)

"The dub mangler LXC steers the good ship 45Seven into a new decade - kicking off the label comeback with his very own 7" showcasing his incredible sonic prowess across two cuts packed with dubbed out delights, meticulously edited breaks and glorious analogue treatments." (Dubmonger)
