'I was introduced to Damian’s Ghost by a mutual friend and what struck me immediately was how simple and clean the tracks were. The vibe and intention was clear from the outset and ‘All I Remember’ went straight into my radio show that week. Vangelis meets Jungle. Atmospheric and drawn out but ruff with it. Delicate but weighty. There’s more too so watch this space . . .'

All I Remember takes the scenic route and drifts over peaks and valleys before ascending into the stratosphere. A positive outlook for your day and beyond.

On The Mist rises from the earth with a gleaming Amen break and pulsing pads like early morning dew before descending into the depths of night.

As we move ahead, the glowing rings of Saturn approach next. Seba returns to Rupture with ‘The Colour of Space’ bringing atmospheric vibes and thumping bass. 

Sub is up next, with the heavenly strings of ‘Shallows’, followed by Theory, who returns from Venus with the deep tones on ‘Cassini’s Dream’. Travelling out, Response & Pliskin conclude the trip with the skippy grooves of ‘Stars & Stripes’.

Saturn: Sub - Shallows (clip)

Coco Bryce - You Care Because They Do

Contemporary Jungle flagbearer Tim Reaper inaugurates the Big Bad Shark off with an aesthetical statement of intent, harnessing echoes of Wax Doctor and Alex Reece from the cosmos and pinning the feeling down with euphoric pads and a ten-tonne soundman b line ensuring that all the lasers are shot from the head into the sky.

Flip for the shimmering amen lash of “Quincy”, as Tim collaborates with Motor City beat smith Nvious to pay homage to Dreamscape tape Bukem.  Another entry certifying the tradition of cross pollination between London and Detroit continues to bear fruit.

FFF - Temperature' s Rising [SUBB9608]

Chincy was made on a kitchen table using an Akai MPC3000, Moog Sub37 and a Korg Minilogue for hardware; plugged into a Midas Venice mixer, Crane Song STC-1, Thermionic Culture Rooster and Focusrite pre-amps for recording. Vocals by Chicago. Subs by car system tests. 808 by 808. Fingers by Landstrumm.

The tracks are live jams but they aren’t that cheap to make. No hunching over a computer for weeks on end. One take, one mistake. Just jamming on gear after listening to Mantronix , Dre’s The Chronic and many many UK hardcore records. Pizza Pie on speed dial and Mr X for nighttime sessions for added UK swagger. Recorded in a forest with a swampy back garden. 145 is the common thread of ‘Chincy’ and ‘Eighty Four’ with a 160 diversion for equal measure on ‘Cutlass’.
