'Black Rainbows', harks back to the retro-futurism of 93 when artists like Crystl, the Legend crew or Chaos & Julia Set were constantly pushing the boundaries with forward thinking music. The typewriter-style beats with wildly cut-in rewinds, mad beat edits and time-stretch effects create an uneasy listening experience. The dystopian image is completed by an extra layer of textures of bleeps, mechatronic noises, vocals and reeces. Dark but beautiful, melancholic yet relentless. An intense ride that is not for the faint hearted!

PARA014 B1 - Sonar's Ghost - Black Rainbows

Waves crash against the shores, accompanied by a simple and melancholic xylophone melody. A peaceful atmosphere. A voice from the off asks 'To the future or to the past?' and a lush tune with female vocals and warm tuneful subbass unfolds upon us. Just when we feel all soothed George Orwell corrupts our daydream with a toast from 1949, that now - 73 years later - sadly is still a distant future - or 'A Future Passed'? 

'To a time when thought is free when men are different from one another and do not live alone - to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink - greetings!'

PARA014 A1 - Sonar's Ghost - A Future Passed

There´s no letting up. It´s fury. It´s anger. More human than human. Feelings
enabled - out of control. The bitter taste of betrayal running down my
throat. I´m a wild beast, trapped in 'The Chamber', shaking, trying to break
free. There must be a way out, there must be! I tried all possible junctions,
but they only lead to more closed doors. What is worth is a life with an expiry
date long gone, a program lapsed? All I ask for is a little more life!'

RHAWK RADIO MIX

Xpresha #27 - R Hawk - 24 Jun 2022 - jungletrain.net

My name is Dan aka Johnny Clash and I’ve been around for a while and I like and play all kinds of music. This is very much a jungle mix though not quite entirely and I believe it will take you on a journey, which is DJ talk for it’s a mess but I think it just about hangs together.

A big thank you to my good friend the lovely Uncommon Sense who introduced me to a few of the key players in this mix, and in fact was the one who brought Foot Long Records along to hear me play out. So it’s her fault. Shout out to my main northern hangout Stumblefunk ‘le fluff diabolique’ which has been the location, literally and emotionally (can I say spiritually? yeah, let’s say spiritually as well) for many of the shenanigans which have led up to this moment. Hold tight DOA and the Embers scene. Salute the mighty Bam Bam Sound, yes yes. And cheers to Tommy and Dave for getting me in to do this, many thanks.

Tracklist:

 Sub Foundation & Duderonomy - Messenger (Echo Deck) 
Digital & The Green Man - Hijacked (Function) 
Neekeetone - Rest In Dub (Neekeetone)
 Robert Lee - Come Now Sound Boy (Coco Bryce remix) (Rhythm Discs!) 
FFF - Superhero Can't Test (Myor)
 Beastie Boys with Lee "Scratch" Perry - Dr. Lee, PhD (Capitol) 
DJ Sofa & Tim Reaper - At The Controls (Future Retro)
