We’re excited to announce the return of Manchester-based producer Earl Grey for his latest release on Inperspective Records. Boasting a repertoire including releases on esteemed labels such as Eastern Promise Audio, Plush Recordings, Subtle Audio Recordings, Western Lore and his own Hyperchamber Music. Following the success of his experimental Headwinds LP and his addition to the “Teddy Bear Trilogy”, Earl Grey now brings dynamic new EP ‘French Exit’ to Inperspective Records. 

Opener ‘False Horns’ is a deep track with a sinister build, teasing in an eerie horn sound to create an atmospheric soundscape, with the hypnotic, jazzy fused breakbeat finishing what is an outstanding start to the incredible EP. ‘After They Turn The Rigs Off’ adds an electrifying complexity that takes us on a journey, leading with vocal samples and a piercing beat, before transporting us to a spiritual world through echoing chants and a lighter sound. ‘Mime Jar Lens’ is refreshingly toned-down in comparison to the previous exhilarating tracks. Nonetheless, it packs its own punch, with sharp breaks and an ambient jazzy style that is captivating and dreamy.

Title-track ‘French Exit’ is eerie in a way that will have you hanging on for every beat, as it breaks sonic boundaries and pulls you down into a deep underworld. Earl Grey demonstrates his hypnotic powers, drawing us out from the superbly dark world of the previous track and into the light, dreamy sound of ‘Lessons Learnt.’ ‘Hypothermic’ rounds of this release with a rolling, richly atmospheric track. This closer seamlessly combines both the lighter, ethereal sounds and moodier, dark tones of the other tracks.

‘French Exit’ presents a masterful collection of tracks that twist and turn, but remain united by their richly atmospheric sound. Earl Grey marks his third Inperspective Records release with an invigorating, unique EP, pushing the boundaries of drum and bass.

Andy Skopes – Technicality November 2009

Technicality Sessions returns with a brand new installment from London-based Basic Rhythm. Adventurous & slapped to a T, this one's sure to keep you vibing on through the summer heat!

Hailing from the pirate days of underground radio, Anthoney Hart featured most notably on Rude FM and quickly became entrenched in London’s dance scene. 

In 2016 he started the Basic Rhythm alias as a means of recontextualizing a dance music past, drawing upon his pirate years, while still pushing forward into new territories to emerge with more overtly dance floor material. Recorded primarily with the DJ in mind, Basic Rhythm's tracks are colourful, brutalist and adventurous contemporary hybrids, their angular rhythms drawing on Britain’s dance heritage, but with an eye firmly on the present. He founded Raw Basics in 2020 pushing Modernist Hardcore & Future Funk. Keep your ears peeled for forthcoming releases on Planet Mu & his Raw Basic imprint.

Get set for the Summer Season as we go wider, brighter & harder!

Technicality Session Vol. 4 - Basic Rhythm

Presenting Volume 5 of the Technicality Sessions: Tim Reaper.

@Tim-Reaper first fell in love with drum ‘n’ bass after discovering @AndyC_ram ’s @Mixmag-1 cover CD as a teenager. Countless hours followed, spent devouring jungle’s deep history – and later attending infamous club nights like @Rupture and our own Technicality. 

Since 2010, he’s earned a reputation within the 160+ realms for carving old-school energy into undoubtedly forward-thinking productions. His music has been reaching ears across the underground spectrum, in part thanks to the release of the 'Cityscapes' four-tracker (@Lobster-Theremin) and a collaborative EP with Special Request on @iamsherelle and @NAINA_ldn ’s @Hooversound Recordings. Followers of his will also be familiar with his releases on Globex Corp (co-run by @Dwarde) over the years. 

Also a DJ and radio host, as well as the owner of record label Future Retro, this mix combines Reaper’s numerous talents harnessing the frenetic energy of classic sets whilst paving the way for a new generation of artists. 
 
Expect organized, intoxicating chaos.

Bailey & Equinox - Technicality October 2003

Madcap - Technicality December 2005

Will Miles, Virginia Born Junglist badman, finally joins the Inperspective family with 4 glorious cuts of hardstep futurism. 

Music that captures the old school sensibilities while still maintaining the forward thinking ethos that has become the Inperspective staple. 

Title track Choose Wisely brings a side to repertoire that isn’t often seen. Stomping Amen of the highest order. Does the damage that needs to be done. 

Medicine brings the pain is a starkly different way, steppy hard break with a morphing darkside bassline is the order of the day on this one, encapsulated with the sinister atmosphere. 

Bringing in the element of diversity of the EP we have Pulsation, a quirky, Dubby Footwork/Jungle hybrid. Has been shocking audiences all over with it’s skippy progressive style. 

Finally, Want Not, brings the beauty. Hardstep Liquid vibes are what makes this tune fairly unique in the Inperspective catalogue, but don’t let the haunting piano and chilling vocals confuse you. The bassline in this one comes from the depths of hades!

Loxy & Mr Porter - Technicality@ Rye Wax May 2018

The Inperspective Records founder finally commits an EP to his beloved label after his debut track “Wednesday Evening” appeared 15 years ago.  He dedicated his time to promoting and pushing the label, but a slew of releases on Fresh Trip, Immerse, Modern Urban Jazz, Cylon Recordings, Renegade, Exit Records and the recent upload of previously unreleased stuff on Spotify finally ignited his desire to get new music out again.  

Chris presents 4 tracks that some of the closest people in his life have chosen and insisted that he release.  Covering a myriad of styles, this release showcases the loves in Chris’s musical life.  

“Dragons In the World”, the title track, and a statement of intent, a purist Jazz break laden workout that is indicative of the Inperspective Sound.  It’s starts and never stops and showcases the most progressive side to his musical arsenal.  Inperspective stalwart Profane insisted that this tune should see the light of day, so here we are. 

“Clock Tower” was inspired by his trip to Croatia.  Having heard Caibire & Dbridge back to back at Hospitality on the beach. A inebriated Chris returned home, loaded up his laptop and this tune came out.  He played it the next day warming up with the Hospital Records crew and staff member Ed Priest suggested that the tune was release worthy, Diffrent Music & Med School manager Dexta echoed this sentiment.  The track harks back to an earlier version of Chris’s sound, a chunky half time monster. 

“Amber’s Bush” is an oldschool workout that happened quickly and fluidly.  Label family member Alex Jones enthusiastic response to it when played out told Chris that this should be on this EP.  A Smooth yet rugged roller that never stops once it starts. The bassline makes you think of whale sounds, put it that way!

“You Understand” is the result of a THC fuelled session with long time friend and fellow Black bespeckled jungalist, Will Miles.  It’s loopy, it’s rolling and it’s what many know his style to be. A fitting end to this most welcome return.

Earl Grey- Promo Mix

Inperspective Records proudly debuts Shiken Hanzo’s inaugural full-length album titled ‘Fate Worlds’! 

Shiken Hanzo is an artist not easily forgotten. His sound splices the fractious traditions of jungle with more ambient touches and this hybridisation has us incredibly excited to bring you his first full length album - ‘Fate Worlds’. 

In doing so, his boundless creativity is brandished through complete artistic freedom. The result is a special blend of foreboding atmospherics and tightly-bound percussive force, an odyssey of an album which takes influences from across the jungle spectrum and twists them into a unique musical journey. Hanzo's record on label's like Samurai Music and Cylon Recordings is clearly audible, a palpable legacy that has given breadth to his current creative purpose: to make ever-evolving music with no respect for conventions or boundaries.  

A thirteen-track mastery straight from the underground, ‘Fate Worlds’ constructs a complex cinematic universe - sonically rich and texturally sophisticated. Iconic tracks, such as 'Book of Soyga', are emblematic of this approach; an eerie, kick-heavy track named after an Elizabethan treatise on magic - an arcane, paranormal backdrop juxtaposed with futuristic vocal leads and technoid bassline murmurs. At the other end of the spectrum is 'Taoist Elements', a rhythmic sledgehammer built upon the shifting sands of breakbeat hypnotism and one which brings a laser-like focus on dancefloor momentum. This confidence to adapt and infuse is eminent through-out the album and results in a raw and unforgiving display of boisterous ingenuity. 

A truly sensational start to 2021, ‘Fate Worlds’ demonstrates Hanzo's eclectic range and superb talent, as well as Inperspective’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of jungle - this is undeniably a great stride forward in that journey. 

Please don't hesitate to contact manvir@inperspectiverecords.com with any questions or promo!

As a producer his music is something to be savoured. Drawing inspiration from music on labels such as Inperspective and Scientific Wax, he combines a dynamic and diverse fusion of soulful sounds, chopped breaks and samples - sure to leave a lasting impression.
