Fracture returns to the label for the first solo release since The Limit VIP to kick off another LTD 10” series. APHALTD001 sees Fracture giving the VIP treatment to one of his favourite hardcore records from 1992; The Skeleton Krew’s ‘Luv Ta Luv Ya’. Originally released on Skeleton Recordings, it was a big favourite of DJ Randall and LTJ Bukem but as a young Charlie Fracture was only 13 at the time it was pirate radio where he first heard it: 

“I had a tape from my favourite station, Weekend Rush. It was a Vinyl Groove set with MC Shabba over it and a lot of the records on there totally blew my mind. I’ve since found out what pretty much all of the records are but there was this one, Luv Ta Luv Ya, that I only recently managed to get an ID on and lost my mind again. I hadn’t heard it outside of that tape, which I sadly lost.” 

Soon after finding out the details of the record, Fracture took to twitter to pass on his love for the track and praise to DJ Monita. It turned out the praise was mutual and that he was very much still active. Very soon after that a remix was arranged . . . sometimes the internet does actually work, or was it something in the stars?

As an artist, Jack Stevens aka Sully keeps music lovers guessing with the many twists and turns of his discography. But throughout, from his early works in the 140 bpm region right up to his current Jungle offerings, one thing stays the same: A disciplined example of restraint. There’s never too much and every element is there for a reason. Stevens’ work is sparse, but not empty. Calculated, but not without soul. He is also an experienced DJ having recorded mixes for Clash, Fact and Boiler Room and in recent months has been hosting a show on Radar Radio with Klaar and Sim Hutchins as ‘Body Count’ and true to form the show encompasses many moods and sounds.

In a time when Jungle is enjoying the limelight there are many over-the-top renditions and pointless references. In Flock however, there are no cheap shots. There is no bandwagoning or hidden agenda, there is just music from the soul. As a body of work, Flock has a certain coldness with melancholy melodies and icy synth sounds that would not sound out of place in an early Wiley production. The title track opens with celestial stabs that precede a wind of metallic Amen chops, both beautiful and tearout. ‘Helios’ is a paradox of burning fire and sub zero synths that will light up and freeze a dance floor. ‘Crystal Cuts’ slices through with shards of Amen that sparkle against a lost Anime soundtrack. Flock closes with ‘Hours, Miles & Still…’ which is the most complex piece. An ice cold symphony develops on top of hollow breaks to create a gripping journey through emotions.

“Music is always about expressing emotional pinpoints for me, the memories that resonate and this EP is just me reflecting on the moments, people and places that stay bright in my mind.” - Sully.
