The essence of deep and beautifully crafted jungle lives on with Thumbzo's 'The Power of Music' on Wicked Jungle Records. 
Taking inspiration from the golden days of mid-nineties jungle, 'The Power of Music' drops soaring pads and inspirational speech and layers them over a rolling amen break backdrop and booming bass notes, just like it was 1994. Perfect for any oldskool jungle head!

Ruff Cutz latest outing is a 4 track Jungle/Drum & Bass affair with tracks from Msymiakos, Junglord and a remix from Flex Luthor. This ones called "The Manna OG EP".

Starting off with "I Am Sorry" by the legendary Msymiakos. Deep 808s and creepy atmospheric pads and FX accompany the title sample. Followed by some seriously crunchy, dusty and funky breakbeats. Chuck in a few dark rolling amens and you've got yourself a certified darkside slammer.

This is followed by a remix by Flex Luthor. Watch them 808s slide up the scale for a stomping bassline. Here the amens get even more twisted up with some retro filter automation and some absolutely bladdy lavvvly timestretches. Killer tune!

Then incomes the Manchester badboy Junglord with two absolute pingers. Manna OG pulls you in with some 90s pads before chucking you in the deep end with some heavily programmed amens. We then have I Can Feel It. Check the percussion on this one. No time to take a breather as this one punches you incessently in the face till you really can feel it.

Criterion Records present four unique takes on Amen manipulation. From the cosmic chops of Tactical Aspect to the frenetic edits of ADM, the rolling drums of Polarity and the devastating power of Furious And Paragon each track has its own individual character.

Fuelling the storm of Amens are familiar vocal samples from the ghosts of jungle, waves of rich atmospherics and layers of FX that aid each song to weave their own story.

Reference points range from the early ethereal sounds of 1993 to the dark intense tones of 1997 and beyond. At times celestial at others relentless this EP has something for every Amen fanatic.

This vinyl only release was mastered by Sappo and cut by Beau Thomas. The twelve inch also features a magnificent sleeve designed by Simos.

Criterion 22 sees the label taking a different and more experimental approach than previous records but maintains its dedication to intricate drum and bass as well as unleashing some of the toughest Amens into the scene.
