Wicked Jungle Records welcomes drum & bass veteran, Acid Lab back to the fold with the 'Curse / Electrical Impulses' single destined to tear up sets in the forthcoming months.

'Curse' drops hard-stepping breaks and deep pulsating bass tones accented by brain-searing, mentasm flashes and oppressive atmospherics to deliver an essential slice of pitch-black drum & bass.

The darkness continues with 'Electrical Impulses', which expertly combines dystopian, sci-fi elements with frantic, filtered amen breaks and menacing bassline.

Acid Lab's 'Curse / Electrical Impulses' heralds a new era of dark and uncompromising D&B which evokes the golden age of late nineties tech-step. Ensure you have a copy of this in your set list.

We welcome Solaris to Parallax. His music just seems to strike the right balance between atmospheric, light and darkness to make it work for Parallax.

'City Lights' whispers secret untold stories of lonely walks home after a late night out: The anonymity of urban landscapes, your silhouettes' shadows lengthening in the sallow light of the street lamps, wandering over the cold concrete. The mood changes and opens up. You feel you belong to that moment, exactly there in that grim surrounding, alone, when most of the city sleeps. But are you really alone? Out of the nearby trainyard the sound of a rattling spraycan reaches your ear...

We welcome Solaris to Parallax. His music just seems to strike the right balance between atmospheric, light and darkness to make it work for Parallax.

'...Reaching home you instantly pass out. The pale moonlight and shadows of the flying curtains through the open window cast wild movements on your grimace. You twist and turn from one side to another. Under closed lids your eyes move rapidly. There's no escaping these 'Heavy Dreams'...'

Full release not out before autumn 2022! Limited testpresses available on Bandcamp Friday, April 1st 2022 at 13:00 CEST (for the UK that´s 12:00) via parallaxrecordings.bandcamp.com.

'Old Empire' closes the EP and shows another dimension of Innercore's sound
palette. Sinking sound effects keep the dark vibe alive. An assault of running
amens slaps you in the face while a female screams 'All Over Me' - and this tune
really is all over you. Warm pads appear and bring some enlightenment throughout, but the dark synths are just around the corner, ready to attack your sins again!

No set release date for this yet as you all know these times are crazy!

'24 Track Mix' originally appeared in 2018 on the 'Peace on Wax' label and we
are grateful that DJ Abo gave us permission to put out this 2022 Re-Mix done
by Innercore himself. Starting off with ghosty pads and trippy sounds this one
leads straight into the '24 tracks mixed down to 2' vocal and makes clear that
no prisoners will be taken. This version keeps close to the original vibe, but
every sound is basically fed with steroids and mangled through Matt's updated
production skills. A belter if there ever was one!

No set release date for this yet as you all know these times are crazy!

IJO experiments with deeper breakbeat styles, 'One Decision' being no exception. Deep, dark & heavy - just like it should be. @ijo

IJO - One Decision [SUBB96X1]

8205 Recordings is back in 2022 with two records by an absolute legend of the scene - Bizzy B! One of the best, most distinctive and fiercely independent producers of the jungle/dnb era, Bizzy’s production chops are still the stuff of legend. The tracks on these EPs aim to showcase two different but equally important sides of Bizzy’s music: one more dark and experimental, the other upfront, slamming and jungle-oriented. 

Complementing the rawer vibes on “Close Your Eyes” EP,  “Big People EP” [8205-016] shows Bizzy’s slightly later (94-95) jungle mastery to a fine degree. On the A side, “Big People'' is an absolute monster of a track, with earth shattering drums and bass breaking through your speakers, not letting up until the last few moments.  On the flip, “Fool Bwoy (Amen Mix)”  is classic Bizzy ragga jungle through and through: heavy amens, big bass and catchy vocals. Finally, “Fling Down the Bass” keeps the ragga vibe going, but dials the intensity back a bit, with slick cold sweat break work and a more stripped down feel. 

Both "Big People EP" and "Close Your Eyes EP" will be for sale June 17th, 2pm UK time on https://8205.bandcamp.com, available as either coloured vinyl or more limited black vinyl, with full black and white picture sleeves. The vinyl will be available exclusively from the 8205 bandcamp, with digitals available separately on Bizzy’s own site Junglistdownload.
