Rigged System Remix / Deeper Understanding

REQ003A - Friske - Rigged System Remix - OUT NOW

Release Date: 25th February 2022

Modern Rufige revivalist and core Metalheadz staple Friske returns to his personal imprint with two more laser focused floor killers to further exert his dominance on the type of contemporary Jungle that he has plied for the better part of a decade.

“Cross Zone” returns the storied Run’s House break to prominence with expert twist and turns and a speaker knocking low end thump designed for maximum b-boy stylings.

Flip over for a lighter affair as “The Reason” melds aquatic synth washes and atmosphere with taut breaks and just the right amount of bottomed out aggression submerged beneath the surface.

Release Date: March 25th

Friske drops off another couple of missiles on his burgeoning personal imprint, continuing the running theme of previous releases showcasing the light versus dark duality of authentic underground drum & bass. 

“Dark Assemble” is trademark Friske Rufige, constructing a b boy tear out around the classic “assembly line” break, cutting and scratching it’s famous vocal snip up and over a snarling analog thud. 

Flip for “Principles”, a spacious floaty affair of languid keys, distant vocals, and aqua line riffs propped up by pulsing 808, spoken word and clean stepping beats to temper the raucous A side.

Dark Assemble / Principles

Friske - Dark Assemble - REQ006A

Friske is back again on his own Requisite imprint with four more bullets of signature contemporary Rufige aimed directly for head and feet.

Opening with a remix of the first release on Requisite, Friske weaponizes “Distorted Reality”even further with tight gated amens, whilst retaining the original’s metallic clinks and clonks and churning mid bass riddim. 

“Intuition” opens with optimism drenched pads and strings, giving way to taut copter breaks and obese 808 B Line.

Industrial tribalism, brooding analog and cascading mentasms set the tone on the ruthless side step of “Perpetrator”, a clean and clinical, yet brutal assault. 

Another remix of the back catalog sees “Resolution” off REQ002 getting the under the hood tune up, as Friske swaps out the original’s distorted two step with a clattering Funky Mule break for added rugged Jungalism.

More breakbeat wizardry from Maverick Friske on his now buy on sight imprint Requisite with two more cuts of masterful yin vs yang futurized Drum & Bass.

“Reprizal” aims straight for the jugular with chest out stabs, growling subs and B Boy attitude whilst Apache breaks duel back and forth in an apocalyptic call and response.

Flip for the aptly titled “Light Beams,” where neon synth horns and hypnotizing arpeggios wash down in waves of atmosphere, shining warm sun rays through the Jungle canopy of clattering breaks and 808 groove to bring early morning dancers back out of the darkness.

Friske comes off the back of a standout year for his personal label Requisite with no signs of easing up the pressure for 23. Three cuts of sunrays selections for warming bass bins and dancefloors. 

Opener “Someone” sees Friske expertly channeling the Jungle cannon by extracting key snare fills and rolls from Plastic Jam’s – Wicked Beat and reconstructing their swing with futurized 808 claps. Ethereal pads, distant voices and pulsing reese complete the halcyon skank out. 

Two mixes of “Daydream” to choose from both pairing echoes of rare groove with drifting synth atmospheres and ear worming arpeggios. Both versions nod heavily to Bukem’s ambient intelligence with true connoisseurs recognizing the harder stepping drums of “Mix 1” gearing towards his Voodoo Magic sets whilst the subtler roll of “Mix 2” anchoring the head down sway of the Speed era.

Friske returns to his home field Requisite with three cuts of high gloss Jungle futurism. 

Buoyant Apache breaks clatter back and forth over nostalgic key lines and haunting voices on “Encounter”, hypnotizing your mind while hulking subs pummel your chest,  bullying you to engage your feet. 

“Overstep” switches to villain mode, prowling underneath the searchlights with sinister digi-dancehall riddim and techno stab Rufige, drenched in chilling atmosphere and brooding attitude. 

The optimism returns as Friske loads up tightly wound breaks on “In Effect”, harnessing echos of Speed era ambiance with fluttering keys and airy melodies spiralling up and over the early morning mist.
