And then they leave. Out into the freezing morning air. Sweat causing clothes to cling and Steam to rise into the overcast sky.
Ears ring as flyers are absently accepted. Gum is vigorously chewed, it's flavour now a distant memory.
Small groups make their way to cars and coaches in the ever present drizzle.
Last night, here, was the centre of the universe. Very soon it will be again.

Etch's 'Ups & Downs' album is a collection of dubs which date as far back as 2014 and up to the present day. 

The album's tracks are united by being examples of the artists' efforts to escape the shackles of reality by using music as a vehicle. The theme of space recurs across the material - both the 'outer-space' of the universe and galaxies that surround our planet and the 'inner-space' of exploring the infinite recesses and depths of our mind's imagination.

However these creations were made during a period experiencing a (not-uncommon) lifestyle of mad peaks, joy and optimism, and yet also, times of struggle, adversity and depression. That is of course a familiar human tale - but expressed here through Etch's own singular musical vision. 

Etch's music is informed by psychedelic experiences, sci-fi, occult and horror themed films and the evolution of gaming - (these being tools often used to escape the prescribed tedium of society's rules and roles). 

This is then combined with a deep love of sampling vinyl and rearranging breakbeats in an unforced homage to his family roots in UK hardcore breakbeat, jungle and d'n'b. Furthermore, these hybrids are often filtered through a keen understanding of current musical developments which are then explored and deployed where it feels appropriate. 

Add to this a smattering of teenage Goth influences that rear their heads within the dark sound of certain tunes and you've got a serious distillation of culture being explored within these beats.

3024 is back with another fully loaded release bringing together an unlikely band of artists into a surprisingly coherent Various Artists EP. Label owner Martyn kicks off the show with the twisted UKG reese bass roller "Frozen Bread Snaps", followed by a nifty dnb workout by Sin, Gremlinz & Jesta called "Door of Guf". The flip features UK "hard drum" master Noire with the headzy "Ballas" and last but certainly not least there's the sonic bliss of "Dusty Glass Bubbles" by the inimitable Parris. Enjoy!

PREMIERE: Archipelago Soundsystem - Rinse It Rite(Stones Taro Remix) [NC4K]

Abstractions : Jungle Techno Breaks 
Top Drawer Digital Presents 15 Original Unmixed Underground Tracks collected to re-envisage a moment in time.

Back in the early 90's before the birth of Jungle, Underground DJ's and Producers experimented, evolving the early Acid House movement at speed. Fusing Techno with Breakbeats and pushing the BPM's ever higher, Jungle Techno and Hardcore spread across the land mutating constantly.
We asked the artists in this compilation to hark back to that era and produce us something that would in some way pay homage to that time.
Abstractions morphs Jungle Techno and Breakbeats drawing its influence from the past, Now in the present, For the future.
