Ecstasy Garage Disco releases

Next up on the Westival Selects Series we've got avid Jungle heads, Local Group.

Reconstituted from chewing gum, half-empty baggies and DNA scraped off of a thousand worn dance floors, Local Group are LMajor and Corporeal Face. Residents at UK festival Field Maneuvers, where they channel Hardcore, Breakbeat, Garage, and Jungle into an atemporal rave sound, their 2018 ‘Laser Dome’ EP was a homage to the Sputnik tent they play in at FM.

Following releases on Corrupt Data, Secret Rave, Human Concrete Block and Dead Trax, up next they've got a four-track EP on 1Ø PILLS MATE that comes with a remix from Angel D’lite, with the favour returned by a Local Group remix on Angel D’lite's forthcoming EP on Ritual Poison.

We're absolutely delighted to have these guys on the series, and even more excited that they'll be closing out one of the nights at Westival this year. If there was anyone to encapsulate The Dome sound, it would be these lads.

Stay West.

Westival Selects 013 - LOCAL GROUP

Local Group roll through with a rave and hardcore inspired 4-tracker - Big Beats Are The Best!

‘Rhythmic Trip’ is an emotional, breaksy number; meandering out of dark tones and patterns and into large vocal samples and uplifting odes to classic hardcore. 
Netil Radio resident Angel D’lite comes through in style with a wicked 150bpm lovecore remix of the Local Group original.

‘Watch This Beat’ nods to the right side of happy hardcore - its chipmunk vocals, ravey piano stabs and snappy breakbeats providing plenty of gun-finger induced, rush-in-the-rave moments - before ‘Work That Thing’ closes the door with a scratch-sampled cut of electro that sounds like it was taken from the middle of a Jerome Hill set.

Spa Day 001: Local Group @wearelocalgroup

When we first heard Local Group doing their thing one afternoon at a "Dirty little rave" 😜in a field near Oxford, it was love at first dance.

A few years, radio show, gigs and lockdowns down the line and they have kindly kindly offered up just over an hour of high energy goodness to kickstart our much awaited Spa Day mix series. 

Big shouts to you both for the mix we canny wait to see you in the dance or at the helm of a proper system once again.

Buckle up
😎

Spa Day 001: Local Group (Jungle Mix)

We welcome the Local Group duo to the Global Mix series today as they bring their fusion of UK sounds, including garage, jungle and breakbeat to our Global Mix series airwaves.

Local Group consist of London based DJs and producers Corporeal Face & LMajor, both heavily inspired by everything the UK sounds have to offer. The duo's sets include everything from the sounds of garage, jungle, hardcore, happy hardcore though to breakbeat and electro.

With a stack of  releases on labels such as Corrupt Data, Secret Rave, Human Concrete Block and Dead Trax, and more recently their rave and hardcore inspired 4-track EP entitled, 'Big Beats Are The Best', which included a remix from Angel D’lite, it's fair to say they're consistent with their output. 

The Field Maneuver residents provide us with our latest Global Mix in our ever growing series, with an hour of their signature sounds to soundtrack our afternoon.

Ecstasy Garage Disco on Music Box Radio w/ Corporeal Face (26/11/17)

Look closely at a 2003 documentary on Dillinjah's Valve Sound System and you can catch a babyfaced soundcloud.com/lmajor brocking out in a whirl of ginger dreadlocks. 

The locks are long gone, but the love of a twisted out bassline has driven an addiction to production that has seen him move from drum and bass (as part of a successful threesome) to his current defining solo output. Mixing d&b breakbeat science and bass mechanics with the hardcore and garage of his Essex upbringing, he's leading the next generation pushing theses palettes into new tempos and forms. 

As one half of soundcloud.com/wearelocalgroup he's also a resident DJ at UK festival Field Maneuvers, in 2017 supporting a roll-call of original rave heroes including Mark Archer, Storm and Groove Chronicles. 

'Omega Point', his debut solo EP, launches the label Ecstasy Garage Disco with four 140bpm jungle-inspired rinse outs. Get set for the rewind.

Overwintering in the silt of the production pond, as spring beckons, BufoBufo swims towards the light with a brace of creations dredged up from the depths of his batrachian mind.

Following his debut 12" EP, which launched the label Ritual Poison and saw plays from Octo Octa, Tone Dropout's Sween and Bawrut, 'Toadstone' represents the latest distillations of his sound.

'Amanita' is a psychedelic swung out 4/4 garage monster haunted by the ghosts of mid '90s Armand Van Helden or The Stickmen. 'Misty Eyez' finds inspiration closer to home, drawing on UK influences, ghostly vocal samples and spacious atmospheres. 'Discocookie' is a Balearic disco piece with blissful pads and a lethal lead line, and 'Unitone Hyphae' tips a hat to the dub techno of Basic Channel, adding depth charge sub and acid influences to the recipe.

Corporeal Face joins the Rye Wax crew for their show today - bag full of 4x4, Electronic, Left field and Rave

The Rye Wax Show with Corporeal Face - May 2020

Dexorcist, aka South London’s Si Brown, has been at the forefront of the UK electro scene since the late 90s – running the seminal Control Tower label with Radioactive Man and producing as part of a number of collaborative projects alongside his solo releases, including as Kronos Device with Bass Junkie.

His ‘Rage Signal’ EP, the first vinyl release on Ecstasy Garage Disco (following digital releases from LMajor and BufoBufo), journeys further back into his musical roots. Combining Dexorcist’s trademark industrial-strength aesthetic with elements of dub, bleep and hardcore, its raw sound unites electro’s bass weight with the undying energy of rave’s early days.

His ‘Rage Signal’ EP, the first vinyl release on Ecstasy Garage Disco (following digital releases from LMajor and BufoBufo), journeys further back into his musical roots, combining his trademark industrial-strength aesthetic with elements of dub, bleep and hardcore.

‘Rage Signal’ starts the dance, blending rave whoops, slamming breaks, acerbic hoovers and vintage sci-fi samples for a track heavily championed by Local Group, the duo label boss Corporeal Face is part of. The searing bass, booming 808s and urgent bleeps of ‘Centurion’ then underline its gravelly vocal, which aptly attests to the roughness of the 21st century.

‘Don’t Come Cryin’ is another huge slice of thumping 140bpm rave-inspired breaks, Britcore vocals and urgent, winding melody adding chaotic force to the bass and stab lead. ‘Jah’s Comin’ closes out, a prophetic vocal, hefty sub, dubbed out horns and turntablist scratching heralding his arrival – while also signing off an EP that unites electro’s bass weight with the undying energy of rave’s early days.

PREMIERE: Dexorcist - Jah's Comin'

Thick clouds of smoke billowed high above the rooftops, the town below had been decimated by flames. What had began as a small fire had quickly torn through the streets, leaving the buildings engulfed in vibrant shades of orange and auburn. All that remained were piles of rubble and empty structures, an uninhabitable ghost town that would soon be forgotten.

Bristol's Grave Grooves kickstart their Dead Trax label and collective with The Grooveyard: Volume 1, a 13-track compilation featuring friends and family that explores the far reaches of rave music. Released on limited edition   cassette, the V/A journeys through garage, hardcore, jungle and post-dance calling on the likes of Hartta, Local Group, Agora, Lo Chi and more.

Corporeal Face - Faxing God

https://escapeearth.bandcamp.com/album/monolith-on-mars-ep

Escape Earth, aka BufoBufo and Corporeal Face, return to their own Ritual Poison label for another four-tracker of interplanetary yearning.

Opener ‘Dropping With The Force’ draws a line from Britcore to techstep intersecting at 130 breaks, acid bubbling through rowdy stabs, UK rap and rolling bass. ‘Solar Storm’ then pulses with its huge, dubby low-end, pounding drums encasing an inner core of swirling melodic elements.

On the flip, ‘Blasting Rocks’ heads to headier realms, though only just, breakbeats colliding like space debris, the alternating moods orbiting a raw Reese. ‘Universe Dub’ then closes out, a 140 stepper where dubbed out chords and restless bass meet chopped breaks and a ghostly vocal echoing through eternity.
