Nyctophilia show on Toxic Sickness

DJ PARODY / NYCTOPHILIA #7 ON TOXIC SICKNESS / JUNE / 2023

Diffrent Music roars back into action after an extended hiatus to raise a couple of young giraffes with the electrifying new compilation, ‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ LP.

Launched in 2010 with the aim of bringing something new to a drum & bass scene that had become overly formulaic, the label has continuously pushed in new directions, often incubated tomorrow’s stars, and evolved beyond even that original grand ideal. ‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ unleashes 17 tracks of bleeding-edge electronic music, proving that after 13 years, Diffrent still sounds like nothing else.

Core artists from the label’s distinguished history bring their expertise, such as drum & bass mainstay Arkaik and sound architect Fearful, who team up with label boss Dexta for the MC GQ-sampling ‘Old Skool’ — a new track with a classic Diffrent sound. And there are numerous debuts: A.Fruit reworks an all-time Diffrent classic, ‘Boxgroove’ by Dexta & Hyroglifics, into a glitchy halftime stomper; none60 bosses Silent Dust turn Dexta’s ‘SE4’ into a rebellious dancefloor juggernaut; and the mysterious Gaunt’s ‘Firefloor’ becomes locked ‘n’ loaded rave artillery in the hands of Pepsi Slammer.

Label stalwart Mauoq puts his signature psychedelic future dub spin on ‘Departed’ by Cuelock, who in turn delivers the ice-cold, grime-indebted ‘Pages Of Snow’. Lakeway conjures the epic ‘Even Though’, nearly eight minutes of ecstatic, spell-binding, hyper-rave wonder. Dexta goes solo with squelchy techno jungle stormer ‘Giraffes On Acid’. Even Sense MC makes an… appearance.

New-gen Diffrent acts are in fine form too. The inimitable BrandNewTrumpets opens the album alongside Macc; ‘We Are The Tightrope Walkers’ is a powerful spoken word piece that erupts into a hail of punishing breaks. No Nation, Sheba Q and BK Balance, meanwhile, turn out explosive, hi-tek junglism on ‘Too Late’. From Diffrent’s industrial-toned sister label Are We Really Alone? (A.W.R.A.), Amir De Bois joins forces with Fearful for the paranoid, jittering ‘73’; Tokyo’s Itti summons thunderous bass on the ritualistic ‘Rumbling’; and Croatian artist Spaj.A.S.E.’s competition-winning, mind-mashing remix of the first ever Diffrent release, ‘Everyones Mad’ by Chills, finally sees the light of day.

Always looking to the future, Diffrent also welcomes modern jungle visionary Eusebeia, who puts his ethereal touch to Crypticz’s ‘Could Have Been’, and Stateside up-and-comers Illexandra & TGRbass, who deliver the supercharged, elastic bounce of ‘Swampy Swami’. Closing out with one from deep within the vaults, ‘Aftaparty’ is Beezy and MNTX’s ode to seeing where the night takes you. It’s a fitting note to end on, as a new era of Diffrent Music begins. Where will it take you? Join us on the ride and find out.

"I've loved every moment of the label so far: the fast-paced release schedules, the slow years, the podcasts, albums, singles, EPs, parties, etc. This compilation album signposts where we are at — a bunch of classic Diffrent artists, a load of new faces, and a few remixes thrown in for good measure. Each tune stands alone, but stands tall next to each of its siblings. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we have! The revolution is here, join the revolution!" - Dexta

‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ will be released Friday 22nd September 2023. It will be available digitally and on cassette, alongside a limited edition zine.

Welcome to episode 508 of the Everyday Junglist Podcast!

Thank you Boca for your mix on episode 507!

Episode 508 brings us an incredible back to back mix from two of my favorite producers, Jem One & SR. Both have done previous mixes for the podcast, but this time we get a special back to back mix combining their powers!

Before we get to the mix, I'd like to highlight some favorite tunes of Jem's and SR's separately and together, pick these tunes up:

Jem One: AWOL, Days Gone By, and Hummingbird. 
SR: Winged Sapphire, Out There, and Sky One
Jem One & SR: Black Snake
Jem's and SR's mix starts out with filthy rollers, patiently building the momentum throughout! The mix traverses through a grip of forthcoming exclusives and new tunes, the mix flips from filthy and deep rollers to amen business melding the two vibes flawlessly together! Jem & SR really outdid themselves on this one, you can hear the technicality and care they put into to creating a fantastic vibe! 

Let's meet our dj's for episode 508 Jem One & SR:

1.Tell us about exciting upcoming releases and gigs you have coming up.

We’ve been working on an album for the past couple of years, so have had our heads down working on that. It’s certainly been a long crazy process but we’ve managed to produce more tracks than we need which are all finished, mixed etc: and we’re just in the process of picking which ones will go on the album. As we’ve got so much music sat there, we’ll be putting a monthly podcast together called “Jem One & SR The Blueprint”. Which we’ll be alternating shows monthly between ourselves and should be looking at starting this either later in the year or early next year featuring dubs and unreleased tracks plus loads more…

2. What are your favorite tracks the two of you have produced together?

Previously I would have said “The Hardcore” or “Trojan” but there are a couple of forthcoming DnB releases we are both really happy with called “Kinsuko” and “Cone Drone” plus for the album, we’ve been working with the amazing vocalist Sofi Mari on something that’s more like a Jazzy, Hip Hop soulful track.

3. Do you think zombies should be slow or fast? Why?

Haha! The obvious answer is slow but it would spice things up a bit and be more interesting if they were fast! I’d be interested to see if they had the ability to produce music! Zombie jungle could be quite dark!!!
