SBTRKT - Living Like I Do (feat. Sampha) (Missen Bootleg) (FREE DOWNLOAD)

The year is 2077. Society has collapsed under the control of a brutal dictatorship. The UK is a military state and all uprisings are suppressed. But one last bastion of resistance remains…through a network of squat raves and free parties…the Night Ravers Control The Underground.

‘The Night Ravers’ is the first release on Codename: RCRDS, the new label from Southampton-based jungle, 160 and atmospheric crew Codename: Amen. The release and label channel the energy of the 90’s rave era, pushing the sound forward into exciting new directions.

Moakz’s original mix marks a movement away from his previous atmospheric and jazz jungle releases, and towards his hardcore roots. Now complemented by storming remixes from the incredible RAVETRX (HooverSound, forthcoming Club Glow), and the release closes out with the superbly talented NonRev and rising star Cold Leader delivering innovative reworks, with this EP provides a marker of intent for the label and collective artists.

The EP opens with Trident’s stunning ‘Feel Good’ – a love letter to the jungle raves of bygone eras and the halcyon days of the sound, imbued with the vibes of classic UKG evoking memories of the likes of MJ Cole. The release continues with the infectious ‘Profit’ by Sam Link, which sees the Wisconsin-based breakbeat scientist taking a stripped-down approach with a more traditional stepper, allowing all elements ample space to breathe and play with each other through call and response. Cold Leader contributes the wonky dancefloor destroyer ‘The Hollow Sausage’, ironically packed chock-full of bone, gristle and plenty of chunkiness to keep the crowds moving.

The Codename: RCRDS Show on Underground Bass hosted by Chiron 4/6/25

Label co-owner Moakz returns to Codename: RCRDS - ‘Another Dream EP’, the sixth release on Codename: RCRDS, the new label from Southampton-based jungle, 160 and atmospheric crew Codename: Amen. 

‘Another Dream EP’ marks another flip up in style for this versatile artist, this time focussing on jungle and hardcore-influenced stylings. The EP opens with the tribal ‘Howler Monkey (Another Dream)’, a feverish and mystical stepper straight out of the Amazon, where Think breaks collide with tribal drums, booming sub bass and eerie chanting vocals.

Joint label owner and long-time friend Rome joins Moakz for his first release on the label ‘Cosmic Explosion’, flipping things into a different direction again, full of deep and dubby organic goodness, with rumbling reeses, brass stabs, strings and metallic tones keeping things rolling nicely.

The EP continues with ‘Back To The Earth’, with Moakz once again stepping things out with a deep vibe, as soulful vocals cry “Who’s To Blame?” whilst powerful drums criss-cross with technical malfunctions.

Things draw to a close with the post-hardcore vibes of ‘Gotta Take It Easy’, which mashes cinematic strings, haunting vocals, 303s, gorgeous rhodes, dubby bass and rolling breaks into an inventive closure to the EP.

Moakz - Back To The Earth - CODERCRDS006

Heavily inspired by the music of LTJ Bukem and Good Looking Records, Voyager, DJ Trax, PFM and other 90s legends, you can expect relentless old breakbeats, big 808s and vibey jazz samples all drenched in reverb and nostalgia with a decidedly modern twist.

The EP opens with ‘Never Again’, where lush keys and synth vox’s meet rolling breaks and deep rumbling bass. Things move into an eerier direction with the catchy guitar riff and deep stabbing synth tones of ‘Inconsequential’, before things switch back into a more rolling direction with ‘Have Life Will Travel’.

The stunning ‘Stay With Me’ seamlessly interplays several vocals with rolling breaks and an infectious bassline, before the EP closes with the gorgeous title track ‘Sun At Midnight’.

The multi-talented Trident returns to Codename: RCRDS as we switch things up a little with a 2 track UKG rework of tracks from previous releases 'Hollow World EP' and 'Songs For A Drifting Rose EP'.

Bournemouth’s Fortune & Chance returns to Codename: RCRDS with Timeslip // Namesake, featuring two stunning atmospheric DnB tracks from the artist, which are then flipped on their heads with remixes by co-owner Moakz and a label newcomer, fast-rising junglist Eminence.

Timeslip opens the release with futuristic-leaning vocals and synth stabs, before moving into snappy breaks and driving bass to keep you locked into the groove.

Namesake flips things up into a deep introspective tech style – with beautiful evolving riffs interplaying perfectly both with one another and with the warping bass and subtle drums, a perfect track to lose yourself in from start to finish.

The 2nd half of the EP sees the remixers take things in altogether different direction. First Moakz reworks Namesake, stripping back the original elements little and adding gritty drums and a rolling bassline to move the original squarely into dancefloor territory.

Eminence closes the EP with her fascinating take on Timeslip. A building synth hook gradually introduces us to the track before the iconic vocals lead us squarely into dancefloor amen territory, with intricately chopped breaks tearing things out in true Bristolian fashion.

Atmospheric grand master Okee returns to Codename: RCRDS with two stunning new tracks, which are complemented by reworks from label co-owner Moakz and rising stars Missen.

The EP opens with the title track ‘Soul Temptation’, a sublime jazz-inflected which has all the hallmarks of a classic Okee piece – classic vocals, beautifully precise breaks, percussive bass fills and warm synths and tones.

‘If You Believe’ moves things into a deeper direction, encouraging the listener to believe in its refined combination of stabbing bass, catchy vocals, haunting atmospheres and intricate synth work.

Moakz pushes the track further on his rework of ‘If You Believe’, stripping back elements to pursue a darker edge with the pounding bass brought to the fore alongside chunky deep breaks interspersed with snappy think breaks, before Missen close the EP with their uptempo rework of ‘Soul Temptation’, which retains the soulfulness of the original whilst pushing things further into a bouncier dancefloor direction with it’s locked groove and tightly knitted drums.

The EP continues with the superbly talented Wez Walker making a first appearance on the label, showing deft skill at turning his hand to jungle sounds on ‘Under The Surface’, with creative choppage and mangled bass finding homes alongside classic vocal samples for a track which has been picking up lots of dancefloor action at our Codename: Amen events.

Bristol’s Eminence contributes her first solo track to the label with the rolling ‘Mix It Up’, which contrasts hypnotic rhythms and rolling breaks with more introspective stripped back moments and intricate drum edits. The EP closes on a high with Cold Leader’s ‘Play It’, an early hour’s brain-mangling gem full of old skool b-boy attitude which contrast with classic V era stylings.

Trident expertly channels the early 90’s classic era with ‘Detonator EP’, a truly epic release which brings the finest Jungle Techno energy of the genres peak and smashes it well and truly into 2023, taking you between the bright lights of the main rooms and deep into darkened sweatbox corners of the most labyrinthine underground rave.

The EP opens with the Jungle Techno monster ‘Detonator’, which guarantees dancefloor explosions like a long-lost Easygroove classic, a techno dread which stomps across all competition with its energetic mix of ominous synths and squelchy acid lines.

The amen-led ‘Far-Away Dreams (VIP)’, builds on the hypnotic bell tones of the original track, and toughens things up to move into a heads-down dancefloor direction.

‘XTC’ showcases Trident’s burgeoning skills and creativity, with his trademark dub techno influences overlapping beautifully with euphoric rave moments for an energetic yet introspective workout.

The EP closes with ‘Detonator (Microcosm Remix), which sees the Codename: newcomer turn the original on its head with a rolling hardcore junglist remix which complements the original perfectly, and primes it for destruction in more break oriented dancefloors.

After a brief pause Codename: RCRDS return with the second part of our ‘Broken’ trilogy, bringing together a selection of newcomers to the label. Separated by geography but united by the rhythms of jungle and drumfunk, the release takes to four different corners of the genre as we move between darkness and light, playfulness and intensity over the course of the release to discover the Broken Tribes.

The EP opens with Brownsville’s breakbeat maestro Krugah, with ‘Simple Ting’ providing a stunning example of his unique and creative style. Marvel Cinema joins the fray with ‘Endless Energy’, full of frantic drum edits which provide a counterpoint to the dreamy house-inflected vocals and pads. The 2nd half of the EP moves into a darker direction with Jack Rapture’s amen choppage skills at the fore on the deep and introspective ‘Why Are We Here?’, before E.B.S. closes the release with the intense ‘Aftermath’, interspersing dark distorted bass tones and dubwise vocals with tearing amens and moody synths.
