One of Lobster hot fave new artists steps up with a whopping 6-track breakbeat, jungle and rave 12" for the ever-90's leaning Lobster White Label series. 

An onslaught of sampled breaks, heavy chops and production roughness incoming! From the time-stretched drums and gloomy bass of Untitled 1 to eagle-soaring euphoria of Untitled 3 and the crunchin' crescendo of Untitled 6. A sonic spectrum of throwback heat. Absolute fiyah!

Manchester’s rising son Dylan Blythin aka Artilect affirms his status as one of Samurai’s most potent creators by following on from his Blurring The Line EP (2018 https://artilect.bandcamp.com/album/blurring-the-line) with 4 new tracks of precision futurism. Informed reverence for the genre’s golden years is baked deeply into the grooves of the Rhythm Seeker EP. Artilect collects the most timeless elements of DnB history and fuses them with modern day production techniques and a distinctive method of construction and sound.

Now working on his debut LP for the Samurai Music label, the Rhythm Seeker EP sets a course for what to expect from an artist assuredly working towards his creative peak.

The Breakbeat Compendium

WNCL-TK005: DENHAM AUDIO_The Breakbeat Compendium

STORY TIME:
I've already done so many Darkside mixes, it gets tougher and tougher to pick good obscure/slept on stuff I haven't played before.  This mix looked good when I was pulling the tracks, but just felt REALLY slow moving / dreary/ depressing/ low energy.  Also, the mixing didn't turn out great, def sort of flung stuff in and held on for dear life, And between work and a UK trip I didn't have time to rerecord. 

Still, it's a LOT of tunes you won't hear in other mixes. There's a few big label tunes but mostly stuff I've never heard anyone else play.

Devnull - The Halloween 2019 Darkside Mix That Almost Wasn't, But Then Was

Label: Lo-Freq Soul
Artist: Dead Man’s Chest
Title: Lo-Freq Soul EP

A1: Lo-Freq Soul
A2: Lo-Freq Soul (Soundboy Version)
B1: Haunted Dub (DMC & Josimar’s Ruffneck Version)
B2: Haunted Dub (Rubadub Version)

Cat No: LOFREQ1
Release date: 20th Dec 2019 (Bandcamp pre-orders Thurs Nov 14th)
Format: 12” vinyl / digital

Western Lore closes out the year with a special edition record, featuring a collection of unreleased tracks that have seen constant rotation in Dead Man’s Chest’s DJ sets over the last eighteen months.

Sampling an early 90s snippet of Fabio & Bukem (discussing the roots and inspiration of Jungle music), ‘Lo-Freq Soul’ sets the tone with shuffling half time grooves and morphing acidic bass tones before dropping into an eclectic collage of soul, reggae, and stepping breaks. The ‘Soundboy Version’ hones in on the outro rhythm of the original, offering a more subtle, rolling and progressive take on the low end groove.

Western Lore’s resident DJ Josimar makes a co-production appearance on the Ruffneck version of Haunted Dub; A machine gun assault of b-boy breakbeats, dancehall chants, saturated dub hits and rasping darkside tones. The ‘Rubadub’ version sees Dead Man’s Chest on a drunken dubwise flex, re-working the samples over a smoked out 70s bass riff, staggered percussion and skeletal 4/4 reggae kicks.

- Released Dec 20th 2019 on transparent red splatter vinyl / digital.

- Records purchased directly from www.westernlore.co.uk (Bandcamp links go live Thursday 14th November) come with a unique LOFREQ1 trading card & free digital download of the EP.

AA2. Lost and Found

Astrophonica welcomes veteran producer dgoHn to the family. Through releasing music over the past decade, dgoHn aka John Cunnane has acquired a cult following and gained DJ support from figure heads like Thom Yorke, Tom Ravenscroft and Aphex Twin. 
 
2009 saw Rephlex Records release his collaborative album ‘Some Shit Saaink’ with fellow drumcunt Macc. Sitting somewhere between Jungle, Drumfunk, Experimental Jazz and brutal sub bass, dgoHn’s music is intense in both mania and serenity. 
 
“dgoHn has long since been one of my favourite producers in the left-field jungle or ‘drumfunk’ world. He has a knack of applying brain melting beat science without ever interrupting the groove and rhythm of the track. It’s something that few people can do, and he seems to effortlessly. There’s also a certain sadness and melancholy to his chords and fleeting melodies, which creates a beautiful contrast to the frantic drum madness. Amongst all this, there is a lot of bass, real Jungle bass, that anchors but also adds the ‘sound system’ edge to the mix, resulting in something very unique.” - Fracture
 
‘Sporks’ takes the 160bpm half time tempo that has become synonymous with the label and throttles full speed into a driving bongo led rush of euphoric pads and deadly sub bass. Have you ever danced with a murderer?
 
‘Dolorous Dick’ead’ is an explosion of paradoxical emotions where hyperenergetic Jungle breaks and introverted chords meet to create an intense journey through a tape saturated landscape.
 
‘Acacia Road’ continues the modern 160bpm theme, but diverts into a trance like state with meditative pads and metronome-like poly rhythmic percussion as familiar breaks are elevated towards enlightenment. 
 
In ‘Lost and Found’, a wonderfully crusty break is slowly polished by wistful pads to wipe away the tears before the Amen edits are slowly uncovered to reveal a hidden shiny metallic underlay. Blinding.
