Drunken Fist 🐉

In the misty mountain temples of the ancient provinces, there lived a forgotten master, Old Sage Kai, keeper of the Drunken Fist Riddim. Long ago, he traded discipline for divine groove, swapping sparring partners for sound systems and turning Shaolin forms into footwork funk.

They say he can’t walk straight but never misses a beat. With a flask of fermented peach wine in one hand and a cracked vinyl dubplate in the other, Kai shuffles, spins, and stumbles through the courtyard, looking like a madman, but striking with rhythm so sharp it makes dancers drop like dominoes.

His style blends broken kung fu stances with breakbeat syncopation, punctuated by slippery guzheng slides and chopped pipa plucks. Each stagger is a snare. Each sway is a sub. Behind him, a temple turned dancehall booms with ancient riddim energy, while paper lanterns sway to the groove like they’re nodding in approval.

"Drunken Fist" isn’t chaos, it’s controlled disarray, a celebration of asymmetry, groove, and sacred silliness. His mantra?

“Balance is for teapots, real style spills.”

Now, when the moon is full and the bass is heavy, locals whisper that if you skank just the right way, Master Kai might appear, wobbling through the smoke ready to show you a dancefloor technique that’s been banned for centuries.

Drunken Fist Riddim 🐉

Out Now: https://shop.metalheadz.co.uk/vinyl/meta031

SCAR are back on Headz with their most accomplished EP to date. 
The release kicks off with 'Caged', a subbed out banger with skipping drums and rave stabs and mid range accents. Confident and bashy, it's sure to be a big tune. 
Track two is 'Free Fall' w/ Artificial Intelligence where both production duos team up on a stepping track with screwface bass. The mood is lightened by the vocal refrain gliding over the top bringing another element to the track. 
'Your Move' follows, a soulful jungle track , it’s all about the light pads Vs the rough drums. 'Fall From Grace' takes the jungle aesthetic and pushes it further with clever edits and big basslines. 'Return To Swerve' says exactly what it does on the tin- takes it back to the days where the soulful mid weeker reigned supreme, a great end to a great EP.

Music

OUT NOW! Fringe – Music – (Back To The Bass Volume 5) - 36 Hertz Recordings (36HTZLP013A7) *CLIP*

The crucial elements in many Jungle tracks are in this E.P.
Atmospherics, breakbeats and basslines that sing to you.

Digital & Response start the E.P. with a 160 bpm, breakbeat, dubbed out 4 to the floor track called, ‘Broken Dub’.

‘Tell Me’ has a little bit of Amen chop page about it and rumbling bass topped with sweet and sensual vocals.

‘Hung Up’ is a drifty, spaced-out smooth number with bass that takes you to a place you’ve never heard before.

Finally, ‘Plastic Dreams’ reminds you of the kind of track you’d play at Fabio’s night, speed to get everyone up dancing.

Chromatic "Blend" EP

Tempo Records doing what they do best here, and what they do best is issuing wedge after wedge of high-octane drum ‘n’ bass. Their latest drop comes courtesy of label debutants Chromatic. On the Blend EP the group work with three different guest producers - RV, Soul Intent and Tim Cant - but no matter who else they get in the results always end up as dubwise and energetic junglism. The title-track has the support of a certain LTJ Bukem. Please note that ‘Day Trip’ does not appear on the vinyl edition of Blend.

CAT N. TDR0032 - RELEASE DATE: 3 July 2020
LABEL: THE DREAMERS RECORDINGS 
ARTIST: ENJOY
TRACKS: A. CASES / B. MEMOIRS
With this new release by Enjoy, The Dreamers is back on its original mission: to showcase the best of the best of the Italian drum and bass music and producers to the rest of the world.
Enjoy is a long time music enthusiast with a long standing experience in every field connected to jungle and drum and bass: djing, organising parties and producing. His tastes are very refined and you can hear that in its musical output, clearly influenced by jazz, soul, jungle and intelligent drum and bass.
“Cases” is a beautiful work of drum patterns expertly processed and combined with pads and basses into a captivating track, enriched by female vocals and jazzy trumpets.
“Memoirs” is an atmospheric piece of work that will lead you in to a trip made of old school breaks, and ambiences that will lead you to the golden era of drum and bass with the production quality of 2020.

BIO: ENJOY aka Alessandro Corsini

'Let's say it all started in 1989, I went from a young piano student to an acid house lover in an instant.
The sound of Pacific State and Chime had me seduced and I thought that the only intelligent thing to do was to deepen ... well I am still deepening;) '
The continuous thirst for knowledge brought him into contact with an infinite number of styles and
musical genres, this feature makes his DJ sets eclectic and unpredictable:
from jazz to funk to hip hop to house to experimental to techno to breakbeat up to the jungle / drum & bass sounds that distinguish him for its refinement and originality.
Over the years this passion has led him to play in numerous clubs, raves and festivals in Italy, Croatia, Ireland, United Kingdom and Spain.
In 2007 with Maxist and Piero Vit (TrickBag Crew) he created Bleep, the only one night in Italy to offer jungle and drum'n’bass without compromises or easy commercial shortcuts, welcoming DJs of the likes of:
Fanu, Andy Skopes, Code, Nucleus, Chris Inperspective, Macc, Fracture & Neptune, Equinox, dgHon, Alite, Ricky Force, Dj Trax and Paradox.
As a producer he took his first steps in the late 90s with the Ezzthetic collective with which in 2004 he obtained the release of 'E Variations' on legendary LTJ Bukem’s Good Looking Records.
In 2010 the double official debut arrived on the prestigious Irish label Subtle Audio: 'The Crook' as a soloist and 'Taking Seriously' as The Blunt Needles with his partner in life and crimes: Dani.
Hence a series of releases for the English Omni Music with which he establishes a collaboration that will lead in 2013 to his first solo album 'Layering Errors' and in 2014 to 'Symbiosis' with Omni Music boss Eschaton.
In the following years he released mainly on vinyl for Bustle Beats, Subtle Audio, Omni Music, Transmute and Next Phase and towards the end of 2017 the release 'Just a Vibe / Fragile' on AKO Beatz marks an important milestone for his journey, the start of an active collaboration with one of his idols: DJ Stretch.
The moment is topical also because it allows him, only a year later, to realize the dream of a lifetime: having a release on the label that has influenced and inspired him the most, we are talking about Reinforced Records!
At the end of 2018, as a definitive consolidation of years of work and sound research, the second solo album 'Anger & Control' is released on Bustle Beats.
2019 was completely dedicated to the production for AKO and its 25th anniversary of 2020, in particular way with a new project with DJ Stretch called The Last Ronin... Stay tuned for more Enjoy beats.
