The new release series 'Solar Encounters' sees us inviting top talent of the modern jungle scene to channel the deeper side, from classic atmospheric sounds to the more experimental, jazzier tracks. Not only a departure from the label's usual musical direction but also the aesthetics of 'Solar Encounters' pay homage to the mid to late 90s classics, with the visuals by Lonek harking back to immortal compilation albums such as Promised Land and Logical Progression.

The newly remastered Terminator EP by Goldie’s Rufige Kru alias is here.

Originally released in 1992, Terminator is widely regarded as one of the most influential tracks in jungle and drum and bass history. Sitting at a pivotal moment in the genre’s evolution, the EP marked the beginning of a journey for both Goldie and Metalheadz that is still going strong today.

Meticulously restored from the original DAT tapes, this remastered edition brings renewed clarity and low-end weight to a seminal release. The EP’s groundbreaking experiments in timestretching and cinematic atmospheres remain as impactful as ever, a reminder of why it inspired an entire generation of producers.

Releasing on 2x 12” 180g vinyl with a full artwork sleeve on 11th July.

Human Synthetics returns to the label for the 8th installment from Dream Schemes. A mixed release with tracks for home or the dancefloor, plus a bonus remix of Leisure Centre from Repertoire’s own Law.

A side - Reality Function - is a dreamy sci-fi fuelled track that almost made an appearance on his first release with us. This one is about what you would expect from HS, tight production, choppy breaks, wavey synth lines, and deep rolling baselines.

B side - Renegade - shows HS turning up the heat a little. While still deep and atmospheric, this one comes packed with well thought out call and response across the bass section, and a second drop that would get people moving in any situation.

Bonus track - Leisure Centre (Law Remix) - sees Law drop in and deliver a stripped back, steppa take, on the much loved Leisure Centre - a track from our first ever release. Perfect for all occasions, this one will spin listeners around with crisp drum programming, hypnotic melody lines, and big bouncy bass.

Composed by Alex Walker
Mastered by Hue Jah Fink
Remix by Ricky Law

Anonym joins the Dream Schemes label for our 9th release. We first came across Anonym after hearing some tracks from his Eternalism release, and featuring them in our radio show earlier in the year.

A side - Pure Energy - is a fun and bouncy track that feels like it is bridging a gap between jungle and electronica. This one features nice break work, drips of percussion and dreamy arpeggios, all wrapped up in an electronica leaning blanket that feels soft and warm.

B side - Unveiling Protocol - slowly builds up a backdrop of atmospherics before bringing in the breaks and rolling out - taking the listener on a journey through lovely string melodies that rise and fall over the top of subtle movements that keep the track flowing.

MAC-V makes his debut for Rotation Audio Friday 09/08/24 with two mid summer heaters. From Amsterdam with love, this liquid jungle style two track release is sure to get you hooked for the duration.

Carbonated is a beautiful two track EP from Rafael, combining melodic synth lines, crisp drum rolls and tight low ends. Don’t be miss led by the bright album art, though both tracks hold high levels of clarity, MAC Vs dark warfare persona is expressed through his production in both tracks. Especially dark days. Remember the light is never far.

Carbonated starts floaty like them fresh bubbles in your tipple. Mesmerising hi hats introduce solid half time percussion and spacey atmospherics throughout give structure to the ambient textures slowly drifting in and out of the composition. A true listen, joyful to the ears, get lost in the music, and if you’re not somewhere you want to be, let the track take you to where you are.

Dark Days just hits a bit harder, the prominent processed synth riff gets you hooked from the outset, drum rolls take you into the mix where sub laced jungle infused basslines cushion the amen percussion. Brought together beautifully, the whole track feeling like a battle between all elements of the production.

Militant beats in the finest art form.

Enjoy.
