We’re very happy to release this 2-track EP by Soul Beat Runna. He previously released a Free DL single (https://soundcloud.com/samsarab/soul-beat-runna-sly?in=samsarab/sets/singles-free-download)with our label that has been largely appreciated by our audience and supported by many DJs. 

The title-track is a 4x4 high energy old school, bass-driven track with a very interesting use of scat samples. The second track is more introspective with its trippy arpeggios.

Last but not least, ALL the proceeds of the EP will be donated to Mind https://www.mind.org.uk

“The idea for True Rebels came to me at the end of 2020. I wanted to make a Footwork/Jungle/160 track that paid homage to early Detroit Techno pioneers such as Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins. The piano riff came first and then the tune practically wrote itself. For the B-Side I made a couple of tracks that didn't make the grade and then came up with a 16 bar loop that I thought was ok. I struggled to think of a way to make it more interesting and then found a tune in my collection with the scat loop that I used to complete it. Ironically the B-Side turned out to be the better track so that is the title of the EP!
Regarding my decision to donate the profits to charity, my girlfriend and I have benefited greatly from the support of the people at Mind (https://www.mind.org.uk) over the years and I want to give something back to an organization that has changed our lives for the better, forever. Thanks to everyone supporting me and my music, I hope you enjoy the tunes.”

CALIBRATION VOLUME 1

"La Da Dee La Da Da" is a dynamic 130 jungle flip of a house music classic, blending sharp breaks and haunting hoovers. "Frank Sinatra" ventures into an Acid Ghettotech realm, sampling from Miss Kittin/The Hacker's track of the same name, with added flourishes of gabber kicks. Closing the album is a jungle flip of Underground Resistance's "Jupiter Jazz," influenced by Norfik's edit of the same track, sped up and paying homage to the golden era of Old-school Jungle.

PRESS RELEASE:
-------------------------
Astrophonica proudly presents “Philip D Kick – Pathways” and we’ll start by passing you straight over to Label boss Fracture...

“This is really a special record for Astrophonica. It could be argued that Jim Coles aka Om Unit’s Philip D Kick alias spawned an entire movement which dictated the sound of future. The three Philip D Kick ‘Footwork Jungle’ EPs released in 2011 saw Jim take classic Jungle anthems and footwork them. At the time, this was mind-blowing, I’d never heard anything like it. Even though I had been checking for Footwork and of course, have a history and love for Jungle. These edits spawned a generation of younger producers and revitalised older producers like myself. It also bought Jim and I together as friends and later on collaborators. So it is with great pleasure and genuine excitement that I present to you Philip D Kick’s first original material – Pathways.”

And now over to the man himself for a few words… Philip D Kick, Jim, Om Unit…

"I decided once I was done with my Om Unit ‘Self' project that I wanted to have some real fun with breaks again, and something drew me back to working at 160bpm, I wanted to make some more fun light-hearted stuff, and so I felt like returning to the Philip project would be a nice way of not only re-visiting something that was such a vibe back in the day but also now that all the fuss around so called 'jungle footwork' as a 'thing' has died down."

Pathways opens with ‘In Formation’ which sets off with familiar breaks before descending into uncharted Acid Footwork Jungle territory. ‘Work That’ traces the 4/4 UK hardcore lineage to plot a new course for the dance floor. ’Drown’ draws energy from drum-funk to discover an ethereal breakdown that leads to a sound killing Amen finale. Two worlds collide on the same course in ’Vibe Off’ with Chicago based Footwork pioneer DJ Spinn claiming he’s vibing off the beat and honestly, who can blame him? ’For Real’ is a fitting ending to Pathways. A lights out and headphones on journey from moody drum machine rhythms to euphoric synth lines.

Pathways is released 31st May 2018 on Limited Edition 12” & Digital with Limited Edition A3 Risograph prints, and Limited Edition Tshirts with DTG oversize prints on US-Import Tees. As always big shout Utile Creative (and Philip D Kick’s Reebok Classics) for the artwork.
