Worldwide Epidemic - Portamental [PARA 023]

Jungle hardcore tekno techno

Blinded By The Lights 23

'Metamorphosis' is another one Dan wrote especially for Parallax. The briefing was clear: Since the other three tracks are all Jungle Techno, we wanted to show another side of Worldwide Epidemic that we know he´s well capable of. So we asked for an amen tune the old Bukem would´ve drawn for in 93/94, think of dark and mystic tunes like Chalke's Demon Resurrection. We love the image the track evokes, creeping and crawling insects and animals in the underwoods of a dark forest at fullmoon. From the glowing outerworldly feel to the rolling breaks and warm subbass, this tune delivers. Wait for the bleepy breakswitch two thirds into the tune, we love it!

'There's No Way Back' now that you reached the flipside. Dan wrote this especially for Parallax and absolutely takes no prisoners here. This is proper barefoot 'free rave' vibes, dreadlocked zombies shake their tired limbs in awe when this monster unleashes and sucks you straight into acid hell. What a trip!

'Tekfunk' nearly made the Parazone album instead of ‚Facemelt‘ and comes from the same moment in time. Pumping kicks underneath rattling breaks set the order of this Jungle Techno stomper in true Basement/ Jack Smooth fashion. Characteristic rolling kicks, cold stabs, airy pads and acidlines make sure the floor is kept at peaklevel.

The opener 'Portamental' is based on a rough idea Dan had already in 2015 and was in a bunch of sketches he sent us. From the intro pads you know this is something special and made us straight fall in love with it. Dan delivers a Jungle Techno track that is well...very Techno, even Trancey in its appereance. It transports a melancholy and reminds us on misty early mornings in the hazy 90ies after a long night out raving, just when the day slowly settles and the first sun rays touch your face. A great tune to start your day (or set) with and definitely one for the headphones crew! Once heard it won´t leave your mind, a track with a lot of character that is close to Dan´s heart, so we are proud he let us have it.

PARA023 A1 - Worldwide Epidemic - Portamental

Jungle City (Out Soon on Jungletek Mafia Vol 3)

PARALLAX RECORDINGS is proud to welcome Tim Reaper to make his debut for the label. 'Dead & Buried‘ turned many heads whenever played out with it´s horror samples and crazy mentazms. And if that wasnt enough darkness 'Journey To The Moon‘ doesnt feature any horror samples and is still just as pitch-black: relentless beats, heavy sub and rushing synths guarantee all hell gallops, without anything powerful enough to stop this beast. To balance the tension the positively uplifting 'Dope Break‘ combines the rough with the melancholic and has enough punch to light up any floor at peaktime. To close the EP in style Tim supplies a remix of On 1 Crew´s 'Bad Dreams‘, an obscure little number that LTJ Bukem used to play in 93 and which was the first release on Parallax in 2016. Tim effortlessly flipped it in no time and delivered this nutty jungle techno beast. Enjoy this 'terror brought down to earth'! 

All music written by Tim Reaper between September and November 2018. Mastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven

Please note this release will be available as a pre-order to secure you a copy in advance! The full release will be shipped mid-February 2019!
