White Transit Van - Let The Seasons Drift

From Drumwarp's 'Outer Time' LP - released Friday 13th August 2021
https://linktr.ee/immanent

Drumwarp launches Immanent Recordings with his debut ‘Outer Time’ LP on Friday 13th August. Born out of the existential tension of the first lockdown, fight/flight survival instincts were redirected into 13 dark and unrelenting tracks that draw from jungle, d&b, breakbeat, garage, broken beat, electro, acid, techno and psychedelia.

‘Awade’ starts the album at 160BPM with processed African drums, rolling subs and call & response vocals. ‘Th!nk’ takes things up another gear, employing classic bboy breaks to construct an aggressive jungle behemoth. While ‘Organised Chaos’ sees Drumwarp join forces with Lion Yute, an MC gaining serious traction in the Liverpool underground. His two verses call out the systemic evils of racism atop chopped breakbeats, commanding percussion and brooding Reese basslines.

Pairing dusty jungle with Sufi vocal and flute, ‘The Unification’ builds tension with pitched-down amens and chopped-up folk drums, which is unleashed with those same drums at 160 alongside roots reggae and hip-hop samples. Working with multi-instrumentalist and founder of Keep It Cryptic, Guevarism, ‘Back Into Time’ is a track that occupies its own space somewhere between dub, garage, trap, bruk and psychedelia.

Broken beats, bouncy synths and wonky garage sub-bass are underpinned by hip—hop and soul vocal samples in ‘Cheeba’. Nothing can be said about ‘Omertà’, except that it sits on the darker side of bruk, with hints of dub, Latin and breakbeat influences. ‘Where You At?’ is a track of two halves: playfully psychedelic ukg sets the scene with vocal adlibs, wobbling sub-bass and warped clock sounds before the track bursts into new life with a heavily chopped acid synth and familiar mid-‘90s vocal sample.

‘The Flow’ sits somewhere between electro, techno and footwork, repurposing a classic rave-era vocal sample to offer a new message. ‘Make ‘Em Clap (Get Crazy)’ is an unashamedly hyperactive beast that draws from hardcore, jungle and d&b, with hip-hop and funk vocal samples, effervescent acid flurries and a restless, ever-changing rhythm underpinned by a barrage of furious claps.

Re-pitched murkiness sets the tone for ‘No More Of That..!’, confrontational breakbeats that hark back to both the ‘90s jungle explosion and the pivotal early ‘80s sound system culture it was influenced by. Apocalyptic electro/d&b hybrid ‘Approaching Midnight’ is the fastest track on the album, with hip-hop and cult-classic film samples built around moody synths and metallic beats. ‘After The Afters’ concludes the album with an uncompromising d&b roller built around an esoteric vocal sample about death. Don’t fear the Mentasm...

Synthesis

"ghost" is a spaced-out garage track with a ghostly subby wub bassline, PS2-style synths, and glitchy sparkles. It leans into eerie textures and warped rhythm, drawing from leftfield UK club, ambient garage and experimental dance.

[Premiere] Heritage - Outside Contact (out on Glome Sound)

An unreleased track by mod-r remixed and re-designed by Alex R. Spacious and driving rhythms lead this track, with huge swells and spectral madness towards the second half. A crunchy, loud, percussive groover - no doubt.

1 million points to anyone that can detect the vocal sample at the start.

Interview with @cajoux

➔ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 / 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸?
This track was actually supposed to be on the Khadijah Volume 6 release, I thought it would be a nice surprise later down the line. I was stepping out of the box and I wanted it to sound that way. I wanted to dive more into my silly-bouncy personality and transfer that into my music!

➔ 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
Most of my inspiration comes from the naturalness of rhythm. I was about 8 years when I walked past a moving train near my house and I heard the beat the tracks and wheels were making together and at that point, I knew music was everywhere and everything, at least the beat for it. Discovery impacts my work so much, the more I see and hear the more I feel like changing them to be something else. The world is constantly new to me, music is such uncharted territory sometimes. The more I find, the better the experience gets. 

➔ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹?
It’s my air. I don’t know who or where I’d be if music didn’t touch my soul the way it constantly does. It moves all through me, all through my hands, feet, my mind, even when I’m not trying. And usually, I'm not.

DJ Delish - SKELETON | Roots, Space, Vision Vol. 1

Extra Spicy’s third various artist's compilation, XTR003, is an all-Australian affair. This nine-track release features some of our favourite local producers and covers the full spectrum of bass music, from classic purist flavours to mutant genre cross-pollinations. 

Heavy, chopped-up breaks and massive bass stabs pervade 99 Nissan Patrol’s Ruffla, Mashup from Akul, and label owner Mincy’s Gnome Home. 

Fans of more stripped-down flavours will want to make a beeline for the UKG nostalgia of Why Didn’t You Mention It? by Myledo and Krypsis’ dark garage groove LoFi Rider. 

The final portion of the compilation raises the tempo. DJ SUNROOF gives a respectful nod to the past on Break The Mold, a jungle banger chock full of mangled breakbeats. 

Hardcore energy is merged with chaotic footwork sample manipulation and ghetto tech attitude on Say My Name from Floor Twenty, while UNKLE SYD channels 1992 warehouse energy on Sydtopia. End User License Agreement rounds out proceedings with a heady, dubwise roller that focuses on spacious echoes and big sub-bass. 

XTR003 proves that you don’t need to look beyond Australia’s backyard for big talent.
