alphacut sets off into brushy tribal jungle


post morphem ep 
by rude operator, rainforest, paradox effects & dreadmaul

the early 2010s have been a prosperous era for a lotta fast dance and bass music. dubstep's magic was fading due to brosounds taking over but the idea of some fresh air inbetween drums and basslines was thankfully carried on into the jungles too. not only halftime but also tribal beats grew strong, whether it being in warm dubby or cold darker reincarnations. 
speaking of living on, this plate is not only a sequel to that era but also a tribute to the one like morphy, who brought dubby tribal brushy jungle onto alphacut around that time. it light up a spark to head for new territories, its soul is vibing on in 45seven and especially in this new alphacut - post morphem!

rude operator are opening with a minimal dancehall feel, wriggling from 8bar to 8bar, switching tensions with patterns with a slice of footwork dna inside - zero chances to freeze!
rainforest is stepping on with enlightning skanks and mystic basses under a riddim one simply can't escape as well. 
paradox effects is not only flipping sides but vibes pretty much too. keeping it tribal and one-seventy but much darker with an amen from the vaults in a bunker-conrete jungle - the raw and free sound of leipzig.
dreadmaul is closing with a masterpiece which could have been executed by the homaged dubbing don himself. moody pads meet distant dub sirens and robotic amen leftovers step up into a hypnotising groove, taking you back down in the woods.

we are happy to be back with a solid round-up package which should never leave your tribal crates again, zooom!

neurokinetik - Certain Uncertainty EP

1. Acquisition Apathy
2. Riverside Glide
3. Ordered Stillness (Autonomic Mix)
4. Certain Uncertainty 

About the artist: Grew up in WNY. Started out as a DJ making mix tapes for myself and friends during high school, mostly 80's funk and r&b that I'd heard at the local roller rink, using an ordinary CD player and a cheap belt-drive turntable that I modded with a start/stop switch and a pitch control knob. After moving from the roller rink to dance clubs (getting my first exposure to freestyle and house), I went to my first rave in 1993 at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto. It was during this period that I really began binging on various electronic music genres, all started because I was trying to find the track "LFO" by LFO. I also tended to gravitate towards what they were then calling UK hardcore, then jungle, then drum & bass. Made lots of friends along the way, including the guys at WBNY, where I co-hosted DJ Soma's electronic music show, the Space Time Trip, where we would cover the whole spectrum of electronic music (which is a philosophy I also embrace with my production). I also made occasional appearances on the Underground FM show, where the focus was on jungle and drum & bass. I started producing my own music around 1996, using the moniker ComputerBlue, and making songs out of goofy ideas using a PC, a pre-VST version of Cubase, MixMan Studio, Rebirth RB-338 and a Soundblaster AWE32 sound card. Around 1999, I started using the moniker neurokinetik (spelled with a "k" because that's how Richie Hawtin would have done it, lol), because The Matrix really resonated with me at the time, and it is still my all-time favorite movie. I took a long hiatus after 2000, but lockdown gave me an incentive to find a more productive use of my time, and to provide a much-needed creative outlet, so I rebuilt my studio and got back to work, releasing my first new music again in 2022.

About the EP: Around 2013 I was stuck in a rut of liquid and mainstream drum & bass, and it was either Steve or Dan sent me the link to the first Heart Drive mix. Those sets were eye-opening, and my first exposure to the autonomic genre. Even more than 10 years on, they still sound as fresh as the first time I heard them. It wasn't until the end of 2023 that I even attempted to make anything like that. This EP is my second effort in the genre, and throughout the production, I was constantly questioning whether or not I could even pull it off. So, the only thing I was certain of was uncertainty. Thanks go out to Dan, Mark, and Steve for the support and feedback on this.
