A So Be It, Lumbricina
B1 Dooky
B2 So Be It, Lumbricina (Rognvald Remix)

Those who are aware of dgoHn will by now be familiar with his sound and those who aren’t should be. Back with his third single on Love Love, the drum maestro makes skin prickle once again with two shining original tracks laced with impeccable moments. Only dgoHn can create the kind of drum and bass that sounds like the tightest of ensembles playing meticulously rehearsed arrangements, painting intricate shapes with the percussion. 
 
The title track takes a fresh look at the amen break, finding ways to breathe new life into it. Soaring above the clouds on thick warm pads the drums thunder with a blissful rage, propelled forwards by a rumbling bassline. On the B-side ‘Dooky’ serves up a dgoHn masterclass in spatial control that could well be a future-classic of his. A formidable groove with serious punch, hi-hats skip along as the delicate balance of frequencies gives the listener just enough headspace not to get lost in the deep, dark world it creates. A subtle demonstration of tension and release, this single floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee whilst dripping with funk.
 
Lastly, Rognvald switches up the title track with a jam that triples the edits and doubles the bass, tipping the scales from the side of restraint to that of chaos without losing the feel of the original. Artwork once again provided by Colin ‘Snublic’ McCallister.

The New Selecta Vol. 1 is the first of 3 new records to be released by Richard Wilson under his Rognvald moniker via WIFETRAX on Love Love Records. 

The New Selecta is an explosive exploration into uncharted territory of the deepest and dankest UK jungle using a 'future-old skool' template. Deep, gut-busting bass fires down through swampy ambient clouds while hyper-edited breaks crack like lightning, swelling into moody skanking grooves. The hyper-retro-futurist junglizm of The New Selecta rushes too relentlessly to have been put out all at once so listeners will get their fix in 3 instalments in order to prevent fainting.

Precision electro-acid house? Bass-injected rumble techno? Call it what you want, this new 12” from Si Begg perfectly shows off this legendary UK producer’s hold on sonic manipulation.

Recording music since ’93, Si’s catalogue of music has always pushed the boundaries of dance movements of the day: electro, breaks, garage, bass, techno and almost everything else. With a weird and wide-ranging career that includes a 2004 Peel Session and music put out alongside Tipper and Neil Landstrumm on labels like Tresor, Fuel and Novamute, Begg has proven himself as one of the true greats of the sound. Focussing his career on TV and film in recent years has meant a slow-down in the rate of bangers making their way outside of Begg’s studio but ‘400 Million Pieces of You’ shows that they are still very much being made, and are perhaps bigger than ever in their magnitude.

A side track ‘P1 Tek 2 Neu Anfang’ takes the form of a subaquatic acid monster with a bubbling urgency coursing through its veins. The Drexcyian inflection is clear as tracks ‘Elektronisch For Pleasure’ and ‘P1 Voltage 2 Repeater’ take the full plunge into a fizzing electro sea. While the trance-like ‘When We Were Young’ harks back to a more hedonistic time the robofunk grooves found on ‘400 million Pieces of You’ still sound like they’re from the future.

Lemon Zest [from Total Solidarity Compilation]

A legend within the UK scene, Si Begg has been recording music since 1993 across the spectrum of electro, breaks, garage, bass and techno. With collaborations alongside Neill Landstrumm and Tipper on labels such as Tresor, Novamute and Fuel, Si Begg fast became a leading figure within the scene. Having stepped away from his original productions to focus on film and TV, Si Begg makes a very welcome return with a hefty four-track release '400 Million Pieces Of You'. Taking inspiration from the Drexcyian landscape on the ‘P1 Tek 2 Neu Anfang’ and ‘P1 Voltage 2 Repeater’, the stand out track for us is 'When We Were Young' - a hypnotic, looping trance record that takes us back to the 90s. 

'400 Million Pieces of You' by Si Begg will be released on the 27th September via Love Love Records - pre-order here: https://sibegg.bandcamp.com/album/400-million-pieces-of-you

Premiere: Si Begg - When We Were Young

"Doc Sleep on Future Times (@future-times)! 'Mirror Lake' is way way deep, with layer after layer of rolling pianos and woven cymbals that come up from the bottom. Recalling everything from the more sci-fi Gigi Masin visions to Arovane, the Jacktone co-boss keeps us horizontal and wired in. A beautiful slice of music. Grip!"

A set of 3 remixes from me and Glenn Astro for Motoko & Myers on Future Times.

All proceeds from this compilation will be divided between a host of aid groups via ActBlue, selected by the artists: secure.actblue.com/donate/ab_mn

Motoko & Myers are back on FT with a surprise remix album, stretching their Plover b/w Whimbrel 7” (FT052) into 14 tracks by handing over the binoculars to a host of remixers.

“Plover” in particular is taken to techno heights only hinted at in the original by many of the producers, its beautiful melody acting like pure dance information, moldable into shape. Perko, Unknown Mobile and Davis Galvin get super busy with it for all the deejays, Doc Sleep & Glenn Astro (collaborating together) encase the collection in a 3-song suite of a remix, Ali Berger houses it down, Category goes off the dub deep end, and Flora FM goes full Dave Angel ravelife in amazing fashion.

The drowsier “Whimbrel” gets shlazed, low-slung mixes from TMC and Jack Murphy as well as breaksplorations from Gag Reflex and DJML. Bass Clef combines both songs for a complete trip.

A major pack, and survey of some of our music’s finest new producers too. Tip!
