ZeroFG - 13 January 2024

Following the initial response to the split single we have decided to release the remixes on vinyl along with the original tracks.

Sully’s XT opens track one with sparse percussive reverberation before dropping straight into the funk with a bubbling break and a bass-line reminiscent of American b-movies of the ‘70s. XT bustles along with a militant urgency, but never losing the funk flavour.

On track two, Basic Rhythm flips Sully’s XT into a straight ahead 2 step pattern, retaining the energy of the bass line whilst ramping up the militant urgency, all without losing the funk flavour. Combining modern drum production with a 90s jump up vibe.

Basic Rhythm’s Woozy is a suitable companion piece, opening track three with an ominous Hammond organ chord line and a scattering of half heard vocal snippets, before dropping into a militant break with a one note bass-line evocative of 97 era V Records. Dark and moody, but with the dance floor firmly in step.

Sully’s flip of Basic Rhythm’s Woozy on track four strips away the layers. Opening with a spartan percussion and a scattering of vocal snippets, reducing the one note bass-line to an even more laconic drawl, while littering the track with bursts and stabs of strings and effects. This one is for the dark corners of the dance.

Next up on Drumskull’s eponymous label comes Brink and Lutsu with two breaks laden, future facing bass tracks: Champion Sound and A&E. Brink and Lutsu had this to say regarding the release:
“Champion Sound and A&E are like two sides of the same coin - one taking a busier aesthetic that feels like it’s constantly shifting and the other adopting a more minimal approach. Myself (Alex Hatcher AKA Lutsu) and Seb (AKA Brink) have been collaborating on music for over 15 years, originally cutting our teeth by mixing jungle / drum and bass on vinyl together after school.
It feels very fitting that our first ‘proper’ label release together pays homage to the sounds of jungle and dark drum and bass, albeit interpreted through our contemporary style at slower tempos with an emphasis on sound design”.

Backed with two remixes, the first comes from left-of-centre bass operative An Avrin who brings his trademark drum programming and idiosyncratic twists into a warehouse rave ready track with one foot set deep in bleep history and the other in a warped out future.

The second remix comes from Drumskull, this time turning the original into a racing half-time 160bpm tension builder, ready to set light to any dancefloor that’s ready to enter some heavyweight upper tempo territory.

A small edition of beautifully printed A3 risograph prints featuring the stunning release artwork by artist Nuj Aside will be available to purchase via BandCamp from the release date.

Brink & Lutsu - Champion Sound (DSSR092) Previews - Released Friday June 7th 2024

Maximum Airtime welcomes back Hard Ton, the Italian duo known for serving hi-NRG disco falsettos over crunchy acid basslines on labels like Permanent Vacation, Toy Tonics, Balkan Vinyl, and Bordello A Parigi.
“Believe” is an absolutely mind-melting acid stormer in classic Hard Ton style. “Swallow My Pride” is a boundary-pushing departure from the norm: 160bpm breakbeats, diva vocals, and
big ravey bass hits make for an unexpected genre-bending heater.
In keeping with our mission of cross-pollinating the underground's different scenes, we've enlisted today's most in-demand jungle/d&b producer, Tim Reaper, to deliver a gorgeous rolling jungle remix. This one truly has something for everybody!
