Stepping up for Special Blends' next release is Leeds local legend and Mayor of Hoovertown, NICE1TOM. Through his self-releases and impeccable DJing, Tom has accentuated his adoration of all things rave and hardcore, being a key actor in its current revitalisation. 

With his debut EP, Nice1Tom takes us back in time to 1992, letting loose in the middle of Donnington Park. This EP reflects the sounds that brought the hardcore scene to life but deeply ties in a new, innovative take that provides a refreshing soundscape, ready to tear down any dancefloor. 

With this song 'Take You', NICE1TOM quite literally takes you.. on a journey through a sweaty warehouse with nothing but a strobe light, a hefty soundsystem and thousands of kids off their nuts - what a tune. 

As always, go and support the artist and BUY THAT SHIT. 

Love always,
Brick Sweat Records

NRG & Action!

PREMIERE: NICE1TOM - Take You [Special Blends]

We are back with a fresh mix from @tssoundzz, taking a deep dive into some of his biggest influences from the jungle golden age, a voyage through the intelligent, ambient and old skool styles that have shaped modern dnb/jungle 🌴

We are blessed with the crisp slapping drums of wax doctor, to the pot and pan magic of photek, all the way to the bass ripping 808s of Andy C 🔊

Some modern jungle also appears throughout the mix - largely influenced by the sounds of the 90s and early 2000s; tracks by Fendi K, coco Bryce and Lavery give us an insight into the way jungle has evolved, with the same character and sound being mimicked, but with the use of modern software and processing tools, creating a new vibe that is totally unique to our era of jungle 🌴

Hopefully this mix inspires those listening to dive deeper into the world of jungle music, and through this broadened knowledge build a newfound respect for the artists who pioneered the fundamentals of rave culture as we see and experience today 🔋

Mix Up

Based in Bristol, Ekto a.k.a. @erst-dj is a producer & DJ that takes the sounds of 90s rave and hardcore and twists them into new shapes - his productions can take influence from anything from the dubbed out grooves of bleep techno to full throttle jungle breakbeat chaos. In collaboration with @hartta, “The Happy Hardcore Hit of the Summer” takes the euphoric fairground stabs and diva vocals of happy hardcore, and sends them in a darker direction.

Out now on streaming platforms + available for download as part of “The Grooveyard: Volume 2” on cassette tape and digital format ⛓️
