S - Capade got into the sound of hardcore jungle in the early nineties. Based on his background as a drummer he supported many DJ sets and then soon after became a DJ himself. Starting out his new found vocation he played a number of pirate Radio stations in Europe and swiftly moved onto the underground club scene. Adding to the DnB industry further he started promoting events and soon after became part owner and resident DJ at the legendary Massive Tunes and Oxygen events in Aachen, Germany. 
This EP is further evidence that S - Capade has a great love for the music and its many styles, fitting perfectly into Architecture Recordings’s philosophy. Originality and innovation at the centre of the ARX mindset.
Never failing to “rise” to the occasion, S - Capade delivers a solid EP, which is action packed from start to finish. He also teams up with the highly talented SIN on the EP, showcasing a great synchronicity in sound. With a clear vision of the future, Architecture Recordings is ready and set to enter into the new year with a sonic boom! Stay tuned…..

RISE EP

S-Capade - RISE EP - ARX070 - S-Capade Mini Mix EP Preview - Out Now

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.

Release date:
Vinyl - Dec 9th
Digital/Stream - Dec 16th

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.

UBA-008: Kyam - Absent / Churn

https://unbiddenaudio.bandcamp.com/album/kyam-absent-churn

After exploring a lot of abstract territory on recent releases, this single was a conscious return to more dancefloor / jungle-inspired ground. “Absent” was written earlier in the year, when I was isolating due to contracting Covid (I was lucky and only had fairly mild symptoms). Despite this, it was one of those tunes that came together very quickly and naturally - dark, minimal jungle vibes. “Churn” also takes its inspiration from jungle, but is a bit more unusual, and makes heavy use of hardware synths / guitar FX pedals.

Release date: 24.11.22 (Bandcamp) / 01.12.22 (general stores).

Mastered by Dapz at Compound Audio.

Trudgin Thru

A tribute to my recently departed Shiba Inus! 2 pieces of late 80s/early 90s Chicago style deep house. Hopefully I managed to capture a bit of what they meant to me. My young loony cockapoo is still going strong so I made an upbeat reggae jungle tune in her honour as a bonus track!
