Cool tune, kinda reminds me of The Helicopter Tune. Which is no bad thing.

Coming hot on the heels of his recent release on Future Retro, Basic Rhythm continues his return to his first passion, Drum & Bass. Basic Rhythm started buying Hardcore, Jungle and Drum & Bass back in the early ‘90s, eventually hosting a regular show on Rude FM in the late ‘90s before venturing out into other musical areas in the early 2000s. This single marks a return to the dark brooding menace and punchy breaks that only Drum & Bass does so well.

On the A side is the title track, Dread. A tense brooding affair that opens with lush strings and chopped breaks, evoking the dark theatrical menace of late ‘70s neo-noir cinema, before unleashing tumbling breaks and a chest rattling sub.

Upping the tempo slightly on the B side is And Soon The Darkness. It opens with a dark drone and stepping drums, punctuated with suspenseful strings, before letting loose the breaks and a huge bass line evocative of mid ‘90s Back 2 Basics but with a contemporary approach. This one is a dance floor smasher!

With support from scene stalwarts DJ Storm, Kid Drama, Tim Reaper, DJ Flight and more this 12” is bound to do some damage!

Dread

Basic Rhythm - Dread (Raw Basics)

Sloppy, over-literate, misanthropic and washed up.
