The legendary Horsepower Productions return to Sneaker for a thematically charged trip into future zones, driven by dexterous breakbeat science and ruffneck soundboy wisdom.

The UK dubplate heavyweights are no stranger to a loaded sample, and they’ve got a message to impart on this double-edged record. They kick off with a rumination on the planet’s fragile ecosystem on ‘Tropic’, which looks to a possible future with an ominous fate for the foliage we hold dear. Production-wise, Horsepower set electric drum loops off against lurid daubs of synth without derailing the motion, but a huge amount of the track’s impact arrives in the sampling from a cult classic slice of sci-fi. The premise is that the last remaining trees and plants from earth are adrift in space in a bio-dome, and have been condemned for demolition - a depressingly feasible scenario with an aggravated soundtrack to boot.

Horsepower Productions - Tropic [SNKR052]

Following the initial response to the split single we have decided to release the remixes on vinyl along with the original tracks.

Sully’s XT opens track one with sparse percussive reverberation before dropping straight into the funk with a bubbling break and a bass-line reminiscent of American b-movies of the ‘70s. XT bustles along with a militant urgency, but never losing the funk flavour.

On track two, Basic Rhythm flips Sully’s XT into a straight ahead 2 step pattern, retaining the energy of the bass line whilst ramping up the militant urgency, all without losing the funk flavour. Combining modern drum production with a 90s jump up vibe.

Basic Rhythm’s Woozy is a suitable companion piece, opening track three with an ominous Hammond organ chord line and a scattering of half heard vocal snippets, before dropping into a militant break with a one note bass-line evocative of 97 era V Records. Dark and moody, but with the dance floor firmly in step.

Sully’s flip of Basic Rhythm’s Woozy on track four strips away the layers. Opening with a spartan percussion and a scattering of vocal snippets, reducing the one note bass-line to an even more laconic drawl, while littering the track with bursts and stabs of strings and effects. This one is for the dark corners of the dance.

The Wash

INTRO Elderbrook - How Many Times (Damn Square RMX)

The lights are low, the smoke machine is working overtime, and the energy in the room is electric. The DJ drops the needle, and the unmistakable sound of a sped-up Amen break fills the air. This is the sound of '94.
The frantic breakbeats take hold instantly, a chaotic yet perfect rhythm that forces you to move. It’s pure, raw adrenaline. Then, the classic piano riff cuts through the chaos a wave of pure euphoria that washes over the crowd, sending hands towards the ceiling. Just as the energy peaks, that unforgettable vocal arrives. It’s a soulful cry, a timeless hook that connects everyone on the dancefloor in a single, shared moment of bliss. This track is more than just music; it's a memory of a packed rave, the feeling of a specific time and place. Pure, uncut oldschool hardcore.
Key Features (Bulleted List):
 * Style: Authentic 1994 UK Hardcore / Jungle Tekno.
 * Rhythm: High-tempo, frantic, chopped, and rolling breakbeats.
 * Piano: Classic, uplifting, and euphoric rave piano riffs designed for peak-time moments.
 * Vocals: A central, unforgettable, and soulful pitched-up diva vocal hook that serves as the track's centerpiece.
 * Vibe: 100% Oldschool '90s, raw, energetic, and powerfully nostalgic.
