As we re-enter with Vol. 7 of Meeting Of The Minds & I've got a very special set of tracks on this one.

Even though I've known Sully for a number of years now, we've never actually been able to work on a tune together, for no reason in particular. We've been supporting each other's music in that time & I've been a big fan of some of his music, especially the tunes on his label Uncertain Hour, his recent EP on Astrophonica & his collaborative EP with Kid Lib on Magic 3. But our paths have never really crossed musically, so I thought that this collaborations series would give me good reason to get in touch and work on something with him and the outcome of that is "Windswept".

PREMIERE: Sully & Tim Reaper - Windswept [Future Retro London]

ENTER S45002: SULLY - FIRE

We thought we had reached terminal velocity...we were wrong.

@sullyuk enters the mainframe and no surprise at all: has burnt the system from the inside out with this twisted Jungle artefact from 2014. All that remains is the silver molten core pulsating at a speed of 158 BPM - marking the second release on Stereo 45.

We celebrate one year in the game with the help of Sully bringing us this track for a fine offering of 'pay what you want' via Bandcamp. 

SMOKE & ENJOY.

Limited edition 10" vinyl in 2 colour screen print sleeve designed by Utile Creative and hand pulled at Rarekind Print House. No repress.

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?

Fracture x DJ Monita - Luv Ta Luv Ya [Fracture VIP] OUT NOW

The EP opens with Trident’s stunning ‘Feel Good’ – a love letter to the jungle raves of bygone eras and the halcyon days of the sound, imbued with the vibes of classic UKG evoking memories of the likes of MJ Cole. The release continues with the infectious ‘Profit’ by Sam Link, which sees the Wisconsin-based breakbeat scientist taking a stripped-down approach with a more traditional stepper, allowing all elements ample space to breathe and play with each other through call and response. Cold Leader contributes the wonky dancefloor destroyer ‘The Hollow Sausage’, ironically packed chock-full of bone, gristle and plenty of chunkiness to keep the crowds moving.

01. Werk

03. Swandive 
04. Memories

Jack Stevens aka Sully has become somewhat of a cult figure in the jungle world with his output being in high demand. His work is unmistakable. It’s always true to it’s origins while simultaneously adding new takes and juxtapositions in palette and composition. A true artist that excels in his field.

Stevens returns to Astrophonica with Swandive, a body of work presented in dual energies - dark & light, body & mind, Yin & Yang. In Werk you’re put to the test physically as es- ki-like percussion stabs grab the attention and demand a response. A staple in Fracture’s DJ sets for the last year or so.

Poison demonstrates a side to Stevens’ production that is harder, meaner, cruder and all together more brutal than he is known for. The result is an infectious mix of venomous bass and corrupted drum breaks fit to kill any dance.

The title track Swandive begins to counterbalance the fierce energy and bring some har- mony opening with calming strings and trademark icy melodies before elevating to an intense state of amen divinity that twists and turns in a story like fashion.

Memories completes the balance with euphoric bass stabs and emotional strings culminat- ing in a searing and conclusive anime-like solo. Some of Stevens’ most daring work. The cycle is complete.
