In amongst releasing some in your face jump up in the mid 90s under the aliases Glamour Gold and Gang Related, on Philly Blunt and Dope Dragon respectively, Krust was also making ground breaking Drum n Bass under his more familiar name. The pioneering long players pushed boundaries and many wouldn't of been out of place on a film score. Krust then returned to the scene after a hiatus to offer up similar tracks and a new album, to once again push the envelope.

Krust Volume 1

In mid-2020, the Tech Itch camp started sending emails teasing Moving Shadow-related action. It was a bright spot in the darkness of the pandemic, which was in many ways about things ending. This was something starting, or picking up a thread long abandoned. Moving Shadow, the most important dnb label of the '90s, trailed off in the 00s for any number of reasons.

Over/Shadow 01 dropped in November 2020, somewhat innocently with Blame's Lift Off/Star Traveller, tracks clearly made circa '96-'99. But unlike many pandemic-era DAT unearthing projects, the label then looked ahead. Since then, O/S has featured both Moving Shadow alumni (Dom & Roland, Technical Itch, Nookie, Flytronix) and current artists building on their legacy (ASC, Detboi, Abstract Drumz, Nectax).

5 years is both a short and a long time. In dnb, it's long, enough to build what I think of as a center. The music has countless branches now, some far removed from its roots. Over/Shadow has bridged the past with the future with intention and authenticity - no cash grab remixes, no publicity stunts. The label's confidence shows in its high number of two-track 12" releases. Today's profusion of music and high pressing costs have made four-track releases the norm. It's a statement now for a label to say, here are two tracks, they are enough.

This mix had to start with "Lift Off", but I had no preconceived notions otherwise. Fairly quickly an arrangement suggested itself: a warmup first third, a banging middle, a deeper last movement. The quiet winner here is DJ Trax, with 20% of the track list - 3 solo tracks and 2 collabs as Mixrace with Paradox.

These 25 tunes (and one tease) present just one path through the already considerable O/S discography. They omit a good number of anthems and great releases - a completely different track list would be just as valid. (In fact, there's probably a non-dnb mix lurking in the catalogue.) This is just my snapshot of Over/Shadow right now. That was what Moving Shadow excelled at back in the day, documenting the music. We are fortunate that Over/Shadow has carried on this work.

5 Years of Over/Shadow | Mixed by Soul On 10

A full-scale reinterpretation of an already cutting-edge album. With 'Tech Dreams | The Remixes', Zombie Cats hand the keys of their 2023 LP 'Tech Dreams' over to a curated roster of remixers, Zombie Cats double down with two previously unreleased tracks from the original 'Tech Dreams' sessions, plus their own fresh version of 'Left Nothing'.

What emerges is not simply a remix compilation, but a deep-dive into alternate dimensions of the original sound: reflective, progressive, peak-time. Bringing together the three standout samplers (from Magenta, IYRE & Des McMahon) and a host of fresh perspectives from the scene's best, including Psynchro, Erotic Cafe' & Redemptive.

This album is more than a remix collection. It's a curated journey through one album's universe, reshaped by some of drum & bass's most forward-thinking producers. Whether you loved the original LP or are just discovering the sound, 'Tech Dreams | The Remixes' opens doors - these aren't mere club re-edits; they are reinterpretations that honour the core material while giving it new shape, new depth and new dimension.
