SKYLARK RIP {free dl}

Having first emerged as Rukus back in 2017, both Nico and Jon have been embroiled in the music scene for decades in various different forms. Natives of Bristol, the pair have a deep and long-standing love of dance music in all of its forms, such is the wide reaching arms of the city - embracing all within its rich musical history. From radio shows to promoting parties, from festivals to clubs and all point between, their teenage years spent in the 80s and 90s has left an indelible mark on their influences - a lot of which can be found on this, their debut album.


Born out of the roots of soundsystem culture, the early 90s boom of rave music and free parties soon found its way into their ears via mixtapes and pirate stations, then ultimately clubs. The deep cavernous basslines and frantic sped up breakbeats of hardcore drew instant influence and often direct samples from the 70s and 80s reggae, dub and dancehall emanating from Jamaica - just a quick look at some of the biggest tunes of that time can find the roots of soundsystem running deep in the rave - SL2 "Way In My Brain", Meat Beat Manifesto "Radio Babylon" and Lennie De Ice's anthemic "We Are IE". Finding themselves drawn to the original elements, Rukus soon developed a deeper love of dancehall and bashment, retaining that raw energy but moving closer to the source. Retracing their steps, the duo have created an album that not only shows the link between Jamaican music and the UK, but gives tribute to the many legendary tracks that were born out of it.

Parallels is about reverse engineering some of their favourite rave and jungle tunes, extracting the DNA and mutating it to develop something new - taking the rave back to the dancehall. Wearing their influences proudly on their sleeves you should be able to recognise some of the most loved classics such as Adam F's "Circles" and Dance Conspiracy's "Dub War" replayed in a new setting, but there's also some lesser known, but just as loved gems in there.

Adding vocals was a big part of the plan, once again the pair wanted to find MCs and vocalists that echoed the same symbiotic vibe. First up, Jamaica's Shanique Marie (who is known for her work with Equiknoxx) teams up with London's Trigganom for "Ride Or Die", opening the album with scorching intent. Elsewhere up and coming JA superstar Blvk H3ro blesses "Venomous" alongside Bristolian veteran Buggsy. Grime was never too far from the conversation, so up steps Roll Deep legend Killa P for an intense vocal on "Fallen" and Italian bashment don XL Mad on "Darkness". Another Equiknoxx cohort Kemikal crops up on "We Real", his lively chat riding the beat perfectly. On other tracks they've let the music do the talking, letting the genius of the original compositions shine through, but giving them that Rukus tweak.

In short, Parallels is a love letter to rave, skewed through a dancehall lens - giving a knowing nod to the past, but with it's eye firmly on the future.

The first of many free download's that @strictly140 are going to be releasing in the coming months. This one, a remix of the classic DMZ track 'Anti War Dub' by @creepn00m

I’ve been wanting to feature a track by ‘Creep N00m’ for some time now, his work rate and over all production ability is outstanding. ‘Spooky’ regularly plays fresh bits from him on a lot of radio set's he spins on.

Creep has such an eclectic sound to his music and is very experimental at time's but it always works perfectly. I'm really happy that he's on board with us.

Look out for more release's in the coming month's.

Trex is a talented London based producer that hit the radar of many labels and djs lately, now he delivers a crispy 6 track EP for The Dreamers Recordings. The Smokehouse EP is a mixture of rolling drums and heavy bass with fresh sounding tracks: “Smokehouse” has a nostalgic atmosphere and a gritty bass, “Manic Culture” is a straight 2 step track perfect for the dancefloor, “Matter Of Fact” shows some footwork influences with a rolling drumbreak, “Rest Bite” is another heavy bass that will sound big on every good soundystem, “Eerie Noise” goes deep with a rolling drum and deep sub basses, while “Eye Spy” closes the EP with an addictive rythm.

TREX BIO:
Joe Trex is a long time dnb fanatic based in Camden, London
Over the years he has held down Dj'ing residencies in Plymouth, London & Brighton as well as playing out abroad on occasion. He has also regularly featured on radio stations such as Origin UK, Rinse, Radio1 & Drum & Bass Worldwide.
In the last 6 years it is really his production that has taken centre stage. Slowly improving his techniques and carving out a sound and identity of his own. Releasing on labels such as, Chronic, Ingredients, Flexout Audio, Run Dnb, Blendits, Lockdown, Directors Cut and Mac2 which is where he has found a spiritual home & releases scheduled with Dispatch ltd, Sofa Sound and The Dreamers for 2018 all strains of dnb are in the repertoire.
A lot of the top players in DNB have supported his music over the years. Andy C, Bryan G, Doc Scot, Randall Hype, Dillinja, Bailey & Storm to name just a few.
Rolling Drums and heavy bass are the mantra and this is evident when Trex plays out live, Djing is not an after-thought and he truly knows how to work a crowd. 
On top of his busy release schedule Trex set up his own imprint Trust Audio in September '16 now up to release number 9. Which has become a platform to further push his and like minded artists sounds out to the dnb fans.
With momentum taking hold and circumstances aligning, Trex has completed a 2 year project in the form of ‘High Time’ which dropped on Mac2 this summer. 13 tracks that are true to the craft and project Joe’s personality in musical form for all to hear.
Over the coming months expect to see releases from Trex on Dispatch, Sofa Sound, The Dreamers and of course Mac2.
