Two Jungle titans of different generations join forces on “Gunman” . With his distinctive trademark husky vocals and high energy, the legendary vocalist, artist and storyteller Sweet Irie crowns a Jungle stepper extraordinaire by Brian Brainstorm who has worked his way to becoming one of the most prolific producers amongst the Jungle circuit. Don't sleep on the flipside as well containing the energy filled jungle weapon and real scorcher "All Over The World" which is set to be an anthem this year.

A rolling Helicopter beat with Amen fill-ins, a skanking Reggae guitar-loop, dubs and FXs plus a deep wobbling sub-low bassline lay down the foundation for Sweetie Irie’s vocals on “Gunman” delivering a high-octane glimpse into Jamaica’s and UK’s darker and rougher side of reality. This is a floor-heater and stepper that you will not soon forget.

Bouncing back to the nostalgic and ever fresh sound of the 90s, the suitably titled “All Over The World” pays tribute to Jungle and global sound system culture. Brian Brainstorm shows his understanding of groove, production and composition on this modern Jungle masterpiece with atmospherics pads, fresh lashing, rolling Jungle drums, an old school piano-melody taking you back to the warehouse raves and an emotional Reggae vocal-sample saying “this is for the sound-boys who has fought war all over the world”. If you think things can’t be better , then wait for the mesmerizing bassline to drop and you will be in rave heaven and surely call for a rewind. 

Brain Brainstorm has swiftly climbed the ranks to become one of the most respected producers in today’s Jungle game, racking up releases on the scene’s biggest labels with support comes flooding in from a range of influential selectors. Due to his handcrafted skills behind the mixing desk and the turntables he is one of the most well known Junglists to come out of Germany with nominations for Best Breakthrough DJ and Producer under his belt. 

Sweetie Irie is a legend on it´s own rights who began working on local sound systems as a teenager just to went to be number one with Aswad in over sixty countries later on. Championed by collaborations with Jungle and Drum and Bass heroes like Shy FX, Roni Size, Congo Natty, Zinc, Benny Page plus appearances on the Gorillaz hit single “Clint Eastwood” and eight number ones in the Dancehall charts, Sweetie Irie continues to turn heads and find new fans with the echo of his signature voice and wordsmithery. 

Original Key has upped the level once again. This is anthemic Jungle fast-forwarded to the 23rd century!

Gold Dubs - New World EP

Support us: https://linktr.ee/originalkeyrecords

After his remix of “Heatwave” the soundclash don that is  Gold Dubs returns to the Label with an incredible EP full of upfront Jungle warfare. Don't miss this heavy package with positive tinged dancefloor weaponry.



DJ, producer and label manager Gold Dubs (Born On Road) flexes his distinctive style and skills on the sure shot rewind candidate “New World”. Old school rave strings combine with crunchy drum breaks in the intro which leads to a serious drop into one of the dirtiest basslines of the year accompanied by skippy Jungle beats in the switch. Forget all those bassline tracks with animal names, this one is the real beast which will cause 100% havoc! 


“Lost Translations” is the definition of rolling, funky Drum and Bass with a dark hoovering bassline. A hypnotic synth leads through the mental ride whilst a serious amount of groove will keep you stepping. “Reshape” uses the classic “to shape the future” vocal-sample and FX on a fresh techy roller full of bubbling energy and rolling drum work for the headz. “The Truth” comes ruff and rugged with cutting edge bassline modulations and different Jungle breaks chopped and combined in an inimitable way.

 

Gold Dubs has releases on the biggest Jungle labels in existence. With his “New World EP” Bristol’s finest shows again why he is a reigning lion in the Jungle.

Soundsystem culture and Dub vibes drop the heat with Jamie Bostron’s stunning remix of Speaker Louis’ “Chronology”. The dubwise Junglist, soundclash DJ and Caribbean Bass music producer delivers a fast-forward of Dub and Jungle to the 23rd century with cavernous bass to tear down Babylon. This one will make you skank the whole summer long.

Operating at the top level of Future Dancehall, Modern Jungle and Drum and Bass for over 15 years, Jamie Bostron (Totally Dubwise Recordings, Electrikal Sound System) flies the flag for dubby Jungle on this remix. Echoes, vox-snips and deep subs in combination with a mental Reggae feel and a rolling bassline reminding of the deeper side of classic Aphrodite are the ingredients of this outstanding stepper. Punchy drums and precision crafted drum work complete the sure-fire sub rattler.

Jamie Bostron is a bass rocking renegade and one of the true champions of Jungle music. Born in Ireland and ruling in the heavily Dub-Reggae und Jungle influenced Drum and Bass sound of Scotland, J Bostron has smashed floor all over the UK and Europe. Being known for blending Roots, Dub and Dancehall effortlessly with a variety of Bass music genres and turntablism, Jamie Bostron gets support from Radio1 and the international festival circuit as well. 

If sounds like this are a sign of what is to come this summer, then we can’t wait even less to put on the raving shoes.
