Twisting junglisms into irregular shapes since 2017, Manchester’s pride and joy Alex Lowther-Harris brings Thugwidow to Sneaker Social for a ruff yet refreshing ride through the rave. No doubt his skin in the game reaches back further than his first recorded output, but just trying to get a handle on his released catalogue is work enough. In 2019 alone he released no less than six albums and three EPs, laying down immense slabs of material on tapes as much as wax. As well as coursing through the dense undergrowth of the cassette scene, his 12”s have appeared on labels like Western Lore, Warehouse Rave and Astral Black, and he’s collaborated with Dead Man’s Chest and Bruised Skies.

Make no mistake, this is hardcore-rooted music, but it feels closer in spirit to that ill-defined period before scenes became delineated and tribal. All the ingredients are there, but Lowther-Harris teases them, fires them off at funny angles or flips them on their head. ‘Post Modern Assault Ethics’ maintains a sparse, restrained demeanour throughout even as the diva vocal slices ping endlessly through the mix and the bass wobbles away underneath. ‘Invisible Shell Of Energy’ juggles lesser-spotted breaks through a cloud of downcast pads, only to trip over and open the filter up on the loose and funky bassline at the final stretch. ‘The Sacrifice’ turns the break damage up, but keeps the moody vibe front and centre, and ‘The Voices Beneath The Earth’ wraps things up with a heavy-hearted belter that runs the risk of achieving anthemic status. 

For all the snappy programming, crisp edits and artful low end, it’s the pervading sense of emotional depth which makes Thugwidow such a powerful presence in the contemporary jungle scene. Pairing those all-consuming moods with his non-standard structures, you’ve got exactly the kind of renegade we love to carry here at Sneaker.

TRACKLIST –– https://www.dummymag.com/mix/dummy-mix-591-mani-festo/

Driven by a love of all things golden era rave, and uniting two generations of club fans in the process, Nick Marks aka Mani Festo is a London DJ/producer who's been on our radar for some time. His productions tend to revolve around breaks, but viewed through a UK bass lens, with influence from dubstep, techno, grime and more, coming to be a favourite in DJ sets of late. Following releases on Beat Machine with Denham Audio, Rupture, Durkle Disco and Swamp 81 (as one half of Cousin), Mani Festo is about to embark on a release spree. As you'll see from his selections below in this special 100% production mix, he's got releases locked in on Warehouse Rave, West Norwood Cassette Library, E-Beamz, Diffrent and Club Glow, the label he co-runs, doing all of the rave-inspired visual work for them. Kicking off with a sample of Mala speaking at RBMA, his Dummy Mix is a breaksy drive through dark club corners, packed with ’90s warehouse energy and euphoria. Managing to evoke nostalgia while feeling fresh and current, it's a low frequency-mining hour and a half that you can really get your teeth into. “With this mix I really wanted to showcase some of my forthcoming material and stuff I’ve been working on recently," Mani Festo says. "I decided to go in and play 100% original unreleased music from myself, which was a lot of fun! I played as if I was playing to a club or a festival, keeping the energy high and the recording a bit rough and ready. Hopefully I’ll be able to play out some of these new tracks on a big system soon!”

Dummy Mix 591 | Mani Festo

HOO04: B2 - Mani Festo - Titan

After a thrilling first joint effort, Lobster Theremin team up with the breakbeat scientists at Globex Corp for another collaborative EP release. Stacked from top to bottom with sizzling jungle cuts from top to bottom, this one is guaranteed to heat things up!

Dwarde & Tim Reaper open things up with the airy roller Hydraulics paving the way for DJ Sports’ warped remix of one of their previously released collaborations. The rugged-yet-ethereal sounds of Richard Harrow’s Aftermath open the flip, before the breakneck Whip by Merph & Mantissa brings this to a tearout close.

‘LT-GLOBE-XX2’ drops Friday 30th April.
