jungle

Hocus Pocus debut of the artist known as Jinx... One third of the mighty Lionfire crew, (Dread Recordings) hailing from the midlands city of Birmingham UK. Jinx sound could best be described as real low-end rolling jungle, blended with soul reggae & hip hop which serve to sculpt the formula of his tracks! This release embraces those influences to the fullest, as Jinx lays down his trademark vibe with tracks that will do the business inside any dance across the planet!

A – Playback

‘Playback’ is a real sneak attack on the senses. Building with hip hop stabs & vox’s you will be hypnotised by the step out nature of the intro as it breaks down in to the vox commanding you to “check this out man”. Then out of nowhere deep rolling bass drags you full throttle into the track! Deep booming subs then combine with the rolling bass to keep your senses & internal organs resonating at full throttle whilst the track steps out in a big way! Most definitely a riddim to let the listeners know what time it is! Big!

AA – Musical Talking feat K jah

If ‘Playback’ can be described as a “sneak attack”...then ‘Musical Talking’ is more of a creeping roller that you wont be able to get enough of after the first time you give it a listen. Building in a very unassuming way ‘Musical Talking’ (which features another Hocus Pocus artist K Jah) injects pure dub vibes into the riddim as the intro pulsates along. Further to this, a knocking bass sound hooks you in & doesn't let go, before the tunes breaks down to the drop! At this point you are transported via a disgustingly deep & menacing reece bass which complements the knocking bass like an audio marriage made in heaven to roll out like a real champion bubbler. RRRRRRRRRolling to say the absolute very least. A real dance floor roller in the truest sense of the word. Sick!

HP006AA -  Jinx feat K Jah - Musical Talking

“She says the Jungle!!” from the drop of the needle on the record, or to the play button being pressed on a CDJ... this track lets you know what’s up from the very first second! The classic vox which ushers the track in sets the tone, as this one laden with samples from a classic action jungle flick builds with ferocious intent. An eerie pad & string then accompany the beats & vox as the dynamic of the track begins to increase & lead towards the crescendo! Upon the drop... an absolutely cantankerous bass cannon is let off transporting any listener in to the heart of the Amazon... skanking like as if their very life depended on it. A true jungle rinser! ‘Old Painless’ is most definitely one for any DJ to “pull out tha bag” ;)

Nice & Easy

Jam Thieves returns to Dispatch flexing his minimal credentials for an EP packed with rolling funk and a new take on the Jam Thieves sound. Digging deep for each track he injects infectious groove and dynamic funk throughout, to deliver that instant head nod, club-stepping energy. 

Perfectly at home on Dispatch these four stone cold cuts exemplify the drive, and progression that fans of the label will recognise instantly. Gritty, textured, dancefloor-focused rollers with broken beats and monster bass lines.

KJah - Hocus Pocus Mixtape - Volume 4

Hocus Pocus is the label: Dawn Raid is ADT & Kingsize - w/ releases on MAC II / Ruffneck Ting / Natty Dub / Liondub International / Tru Thoughts / ASBO / Stepback Sessions / Advisory / NBAudio / Phuzion / 36 Hertz / Knowledge & Wisdom. We are a Jungle/Drum & Bass collective based in the UK’s city of Manchester. CEO's of Bass Music imprint Hocus Pocus (Since Dec 2012).



Dawn Raid’s style of DJ set can simply be referred to as straight up rinse out, with a musical edge! This is due to all the artists in the collective having a shared experience in DJ/MC performance and production spanning the past 15 years from jungle as it was back in the early 90’s, to its present day DnB format. Combined with a real passion for the music, and the scene since it’s inception in the early 90s, Dawn Raid seek to deliver productions and live performances that represent the spectrum of Jungle/DnB from its beginnings to the present day. They do not limit themselves to current trends and always encompass the genre in its many forms, from deep and rolling, to big tear out tracks… always with a strong reference to the core elements and influences of the music from it's beginning.
