Still Inna Jungle Mixxtapes December 2021

Sneaker Social Club

From a stylistic perspective, all bets are off as modernist bass music bowls forward with its sights on the dance. Over the past three years, J-Shadow has embodied that ethic more than most with a hybridised flex snapping fluidly between lurid grime waveforms, rave-indebted structures and hi-tech sound design. A perfect fit for Sneaker Social Club’s own omnivorous tendencies, then. 

Following drops on Super Hexagon, Nous, Comic Sans and Bun The Grid, Shadow lands on Sneaker Social with no less than six shellers packing a potency which has to be heard to be believed. Proceedings start off comparatively mellow with the atmospheric, vocal-laced ‘Fade’ – all cascading breaks and airy pads, before pivoting towards a kind of weightless style sprayed with blaster fire and dislocated snare rushes on ‘Kugelblitz (The Inescapable Rewarp)’. ‘Diffraction’ leans in on grime rudeness, albeit with a flamboyant twist up, before ‘Atlantis’ shakes up the B-side with an aquatic excursion into jungle territory clearly nodding to early Bukem. ‘Particle Horizon’ continues the uptempo charge, but straps starry-eyed arps to the barefaced breakbeat choppage with soul-quaking results. ‘Hibernation (Lumina Falls)’ acts as a kind of mood leveler to round out the EP, but even in these more patient moments the sound palette is vast and dynamic. 

At every step, Shadow’s production prowess shines through in glorious technicolour, all shimmering surfaces and molten sonic matter. The degree of detail is frankly staggering, from cascading sample arrays to infinitesimal FX tweaks. His vibrant personality comes through whether he’s tearing it up at 160 or dropping the kicks out altogether, celebrating the eclecticism that embodies modern club music.

Meeting Of The Minds Vol. 7

Meeting Of The Minds Vol. 7 [FRMOTM007]

New label ‘Flightpath’ is the sonic depiction of humankind’s inevitable excursion to dystopia. Pushing hardcore machine music into a new paradigm, with a combination of sonics and visuals that pull from the past and future in equal measure. It’s first release; a four track EP by Mani Festo (label founder) entitled ‘Higher’ captures its essence perfectly. Fusing breakbeats, soaring rave pianos, dark-side kick drums and industrial machine funk to soundtrack post-pandemic hedonism in a way that nothing else could.

The title track ‘Higher’ is a tale of long-lost raves, written during the summer of 2020. It reflects the first time in the history of electronic music that gatherings ceased to exist. The track is hopeful, but longs for the freedom of dancing in a field, something that seems like nothing more than a forgotten memory.

Higher EP

Mani Festo - Higher EP [Flightpath] - Preview

This track features on: 'hey, do you need someone to talk to?' mini-compilation. If you like what you hear, the digi's will be available on October 22nd 2021 here - https://stickytapesmix.bandcamp.com/album/sticky-007-hey-do-you-need-someone-to-talk-to-mini-compilation

Fresh off the release of their first birthday compilation release this Summer which included contributions from Jossy Mitsu, Stones Taro, ELLES, Black Cadmium and more, Sticky tapes are back with a mini-compilation entitled ‘hey, do you need someone to talk to?’

This digital-only release features tracks from Tim Reaper, Ell Murphy & Picasso, PRAYER, IN2STELLAR, Theo Everyday and a debut outing from Kitsta.

Sticky Tapes launched their first tape back in July 2020 with Violet and ELLES and since then have released tapes with the likes Interplanetary Criminal, CC:Disco, Asquith, Om Unit and many more. To date, they’ve raised over £2000 for six different charities, all chosen by the artists on the tapes.

As always with Sticky Tapes projects, all proceeds will be being donated to charity. This release aims to raise awareness of three mental health helplines (The Samaritans, SANEline and Switchboard), all doing amazing work for those who need someone to talk to when they are at their worst.

To further awareness of the helplines, Sticky Tapes will be posting 500 posters all over London that feature rip tickets with the numbers of the helplines.

The compilation delivers a broad sound palette, from spaced-out trance to IN2STELLAR to ethereal breaks from PRAYER.

Polyclinique Redux w/ Yorobi & Law (Repertoire)

Stepping up for Mix #7 with a weighty selection of 90's Bristol Sound badness is Kola Nut

Kola Nut began playing computer games at a young age, he was given a Megadrive on 25th December 1994. Playing games like 'Theme Park', 'Street Fighter 2'  & ‘Cyborg Justice’ he soon built his finger strength and hand eye co-ordination skills. 
This dexterity and skill combined with his love for jungle music lead him neatly into the world of bedroom DJing in 2001. He has since collaborated with scene honchos such as Law, Wheeler & Tim Reaper and dropped releases on Repertoire, R-Whites, Future Retro, Meditator, Context Audio, 7th Storey Projects, Silent Force and Sonic Force Recordings.
