'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

'Ambitions' creates tension from the top. Hard to pin-point it features ingredients from the whole spectrum: It has an atmospheric edge, but also includes cool ragga snippets, cowbells and energy raising effects. The tune bubbles along nicely until halfway in. Here Dominic once again proves his skills to find extraordinary samples that lift a tune to other spheres. This time it's drug lord George Jung who ponders '...Throughout my lifetime I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambitions far exceeded my talent.' Then all hell breaks lose and the tune bursts into an unexpected full-on reecebass vs. amen tearout for the second half of the tune. A perfect bridge tune to hit people with an unexpected turn in your dj sets.

PARA014 A2 - Sonar's Ghost - Ambitions

'Riddim [Come Again]' takes you into a Bladerunner-esque setting: Sweeping pads, late-night sax and sound-clash snippets introduce the tune until rumbling amens and a thumping subbass take it away into rugged territories. This unashamed riddim is certified heavy duty machinery - guaranteed to make jaws drop and turn every dance into a frenzy!

Full release November 2022, testpresses will be live Friday, 3rd June 13:00 CMT (UK that´s 12 for ya) via https://parallaxrecordings.bigcartel.com

PARA014 - Sonar's Ghost - Riddim [Come Again]

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!'

Manchester’s veteran Junglist Chimpo steps up on Astrophonica to tune in to his pirate radio influences and broadcast an EP full of explosive Jungle energy and Hardcore charm. Phone line crew, this one’s for you . . .

“On The Dial is my take on the Jungle music I grew up listening to on Manchester pirate radio stations in the nineties. The two main pirates that played Jungle are referenced di- rectly in two of the tracks: Buzz FM and Luv NRG. The tracks reference styles I’ve picked up from some of my favourite producers growing up: Danny Breaks, Krust, Die, Sappo, L Double, etc. Rig Doctor is more Old Skool using a sample referencing the guy who would fix up the technicals in running a pirate and styled by early Hardcore Jungle Techno. The whole EP is essentially a love letter to one of the first genres I fell in love with on the for- mat I really learned about it on.” - Chimpo.

Rig Doctor kicks off the weekend with a rush of high speed vocals and a homage to the ones behind the scenes making the station tick... The Rig Doctor. Up after ads is the positive lunch time roller LUV NRG and a trademark Chimpo bubble to set speed. Stay up past bedtime and you’ll hear the mysterious Buzz Army with its murky bass riff and grave- yard shift aesthetic. Finishing things off Sunday style, Chimpo drops some science on the stoned groove of Broad.

Chimpo - On The Dial (APHA026) - Mini Mix

The long awaited second instalment of our 4 part VA series.

Opening track ‘Dub Free pt.3 (Rose line mix)’ is a masterfully produced and mixed dub techno groove by Hiss Is Bliss. With skills at this level, there’s clearly more to come from this French artist.

On the flip, USA born Bukkha, digs into the deep dub techno trenches with Dub Envelope. Situated at 115bpm, a tempo with much possibility, Bukkha hits the nail on the head with ease and exposes a different side to his usual output.

Closing out this carefully curated 3 track 12” - Bristol talent Somah signs off with a dreamy dub garage track titled Knot Up.

Mastered @ Ten Eight Seven. Distributed by Unearthed Sounds.
Modern Hypnosis 2022.

"UK Allstars (Congo Natty meetys Benny Page - Radio Edit)" featuring Tenor Fly, Top Cat, General Levy, Tippa Irie, Sweetie Irie and Daddy Freddy, taken from the album "Jungle Revolution", to be released on Big Dada Recordings, 1 July 2013. 

Congo Natty aka Rebel MC has a career dating back to his early hit with Double Trouble, "Street Tuff," but is probably most respected as one of the pioneers of Jungle - perhaps the first uniquely UK-born bass music. 

"Jungle Revolution" features the whole of the extended Congo Natty family and was mixed with Adrian Sherwood. Clearly showing this Rasta's belief that Jungle is a re-boot of roots reggae for a new century, the record is full of blood and fire, the sternum-buzz of sub-bass, rapid fire drum breaks, sweet hooks, righteous anger and professions of religious fervour. It’s the kind of passionate, committed, raw and spiritual, beautiful record that doesn’t come along every day.  

To celebrate this release, we are streaming the track "UK Allstars," which features a who's who of British soundsystem culture. This is the first time ever that this line up have all appeared on one track together and so also marks a historic coming together of a scene which lies at the roots of so much of what we now take for granted in UK music, from dubstep to grime to drum & bass and beyond.
