A2. Retron 0ne - Selective Reality

It´s a 12 Bit Jungle Out There and it´s touching down on Parallax! 

With releases on PPJ Recordings and Foundation Records and a strong online presence, you can´t escape his Amiga productions right now! His style is unmistakenly his and this EP gives a nice oversight what he´s capable of: great musicality, punchy and juicy breaks, boomin basslines, interesting and unusual arrangements - but hear for yourself. This was a long time in the making and we are happy to finally bring 12 Bit Jungle Out There to your eardrums. 

Your whole life is 'Just A Dream'! This tune was the initial reason we reached out to the man. We saw a short videoclip of him in his hardware studio presenting a rough sketch of it and immediately fell in love with the retro sample paired with the boomin bass, lazy drums and melancholic pianos. It drops superheavy into machinegun amens, 'Right now ya baaaad' vocals and will leave you disoriented until the piano returns to catch you from stumbling over your dancing feet. It´s an adorable tune with just the right mixture of light and darkness again.

Testpresses will be available at the Runout on the 13th April 2025. Be quick!

'Pills N Shit' was the last adition to the EP but we´re glad it made it´s way. A rough with the smooth jungle tune. It starts with eastern kungfu-flick-style sounds, a fat 808 and rolling breaks before leading in a quirky summery break with birdsounds, positive pianos and sweet vocals. Fast paced amens with mad edits and psychadelic soundeffects keep you on your toes throughout. It´s euphoric but pleases the dancefloor at the same time. "We used to go for walks on pills n shit', what a dope tune!

12 Bit Jungle Out There - Pills an Shit [PARA025]

We are absolutely thrilled to finally present you the return of Solaris to the label! It´s been a long time in the making, but we shortened your wait with Aurora/ New Moon on PARADUBS002 which came from the same set of tracks. So, here you have it: 4 more absolutely timeless tunes by the gifted man like Dean! 

'Solarize' opens with bongos and soothing vocals before echoing pitched-down snares lead into rolling amens and long choral pads. A fat subbass accompanies the rolling amens and we´re off for a fantastic journey: Big chord pianos and a dreamy atmosphere lull you and the fat subs and beats ensure this works for both the headphone as well as the dancefloor crew. A future classic!

The track samples have been gently edited to show all important parts of the tunes.

'Drift On By' is the perfect tune to welcome the first sun rays of a new day. Deep and atmospheric, this one is a steady builder and has the right mixture to let your soul fly or your feet shuffle. Lush long pads and punchy drums, male and female vocal snippets, and a hypnotic swirling guitar make this very special. It sounds like a lost Bukem dubplate, like Good Looking in its heyday. We are very proud to have this on Parallax.

Solaris - Drift On By [PARA026]

InnerCore returns to Parallax. With his strong debut 'Voltage Controlled' he showed what he´s capable of, with his PARADUBS release 'Style Is A Crystallisation/ Never Sleep' he proved once again that  he belongs in the holy halls of Jungle Techno. Now he´s back to present us a new set of tricks and brings us two absolutely gorgeous atmospheric Jungle rollers on the A side while returning to his signature Jungle Techno style on the flip!

Flip the record over and the mood switches instantly. 'Isolation Tank' is filthy, it´s nasty, it´s rough, it´s thrilling. Shuffling breaks and harsh industrial noises make this an uneasy listening. Piercing sounds, like fingernails screeching on metal. This is pitch-black, it´s dark without trying.

Testpresses available on the Runout on 13th April 2025. Be quick!

InnerCore - Isolation Tank [PARA027]

InnerCore touches down on Parallax lathe-dubplate label PARADUBS with two filthy Jungle Techno bombs.

'Style Is A Crystallisation' is a truly special tune. Synth stabs and mentasms accompanied by howling sound effects and shuffling breaks set the groove and lead into an epic breakdown of strings and synth modulation. There are always new elements being introduced to keep things moving and interesting. We especially love that one moment in the second breakdown when the lighthearted synth morphs into a darker version of itself. This has to be a hot contender for the most unusual arrangement we heard in a Jungle Techno tune as it ends on an absolute high note. The perfect end-of-the-night tune. This style is a crystallisation!

Limited to 50 lathe-cut dubplates will be available on the RunOut on 13th April 2025. Whatever is left (if) will go up on the Bandcamp in the following weeks. Be quick!

InnerCore - Style is a Crystallisation [PARADUB003]

InnerCore touches down on Parallax lathe-dubplate label PARADUBS with two filthy Jungle Techno bombs.

'Never Sleep' was born out of a conversation that Vali had with Matt when he cited the Nas line 'I never sleep cuz sleep is the cousin of death'. Determined as Matt is, he straight went to work to suprise Vali the next day with this tune. Timestretched beats in the intro, lazershots, the '100 miles and running' amen and the distinctive Nas vocal make up for a stunning tune already. Add mentasms and a euphoric breakdown with 'neverending dream' vocals and piano sprinkles and you have a tune that will errupt on any dancefloor. More timestretch! ..and back into the groove! This one´s effective!

InnerCore - Never Sleep [PARADUB003]

Sonar´s Ghost returns to Parallax and makes his debut on lathe-cut label PARADUBS. 

'Box Of Delights' is a homage to a certain tune that put the Full Cycle label of the Bristol posse surrounding Roni Size, Die, Krust and Suv on the map back in the day. Can you guess which track it refers to? Classy rollin breaks, 'come on' shouts, 'inside my mind' vocal and jazz flavors are the order of the day here. Something to bop your head and get lost into, something to roll out a long mix with. Then the second break enters with a soothing female vocal and more jazzy licks. This has style! Spring is here, put this on loud and open the windows!

50 lathe cuts will be available at the Runout on the 13th April 2025, the rest goes up on Bandcamp to a date yet to be announced. Be quick!
