As people who normally get booked for the harder styles of jungle and dance music, @ac1dvicious303 and I rarely get the chance to play out the more atmospheric side of our record collections, so when the opportunity arose, it's safe to say we absolutely leapt at it.

Sans the last couple of tracks, this one's also a strictly vinyl affair.

Get locked in and enjoy some ethereal breakbeats ✨🌌

Y'all know about Kahn by now.

The Bristol bass specialist is one of our favourite artists. He cracks open his vinyl collection to select over an hour of heavy, heavy riddims to help us celebrate the coming of Notting Hill Carnival in London and the August Bank Holiday weekend in the UK. Fire!

Breakfast with Felix Joy & Danny Burke - 05 January 2024

'Nights' by @sullyuk & @salomcr is out on Astrophonica on the 1st March 2024.

Pre-order record: https://sq.lnk.to/APHA031DD



--

Sully returns to Astrophonica for a celestial collaboration with young Manchester based vocalist Salo.

Always one step ahead of the pack, Sully relinquishes the signature crusty Jungle breaks in exchange for crisp and steely, live sounding drums to provide the groove for a stripped back and crushed 808 bassline - a hi-def take on his iconic sound. This minimalist structure gives the foundations and space for Salo’s bittersweet vocals to take the lead with clarity and float off into the glorious twilight. A celestial collaboration that spotlights both artists’ strong points.

Sully totally flips the script with the ‘Not Just a Dub Mix’ by taking Salo’s vocals and giving them the Tubby treatment. The Jungle breaks return and sirens ring out - one for the club Salo, born in Tbilisi, Georgia before moving to Manchester via Glasgow as a child, is a classically trained pianist with all the swagger and charm of Manchester club music. She studied at Glasgow Music Academy and Royal Northern College of Music before working with club legends such as Zed Bias, Chimpo and Bassboy.

This is Sully’s first return to the label since 2020’s seminal, highly requested and repressed Swandive EP. At this point he honestly needs little introduction - he’s become one of the highest selling and most sought after Jungle artists for the best part of a decade and shows no signs of stopping

Welcome to the Showcase Series Poj! A fairly new producer within the Drum and Bass scene but has already made the right moves and has also been releasing some cool music! After conducting an interview with him, it became clear that his attitude towards music and taking advice is one that the scene lacks. It will be interesting to see his progress and growth from here on out! I really loved the production showcase he presented and am hyped to be working with such a new and enthusiastic producer!

After paying homage to Africa with their 2021 release "ZIK ZAK" album, Ancient Astronauts once again turn their focus to the black continent, this time honing in on Uganda. Their latest offering, "Cypher Kabaka," is a collaborative effort with the indigenous Hip Hop crew BA Cypher Kabaka, hailing from Kampala, Uganda. This crew is dedicated to utilizing Hip Hop as a tool for positive social change and cultural empowerment.

The connection to BA Cypher Kabaka arose through DOGU's frequent travels to Uganda and the collaboration between his label, Switchstance Recordings, and the Ugandan partner label East African Records. All members of Cypher Kabaka were part of the Nilotika Cultural Ensemble and crossed paths with DOGU during the recording sessions for their album "Nyabingi Resurrection." This encounter sparked numerous freestyle sessions and laid the foundation for the idea of an album collaboration.

With one of the youngest populations globally, Uganda stands as one of Africa's fastest-growing economies, yet it remains among the world's poorest countries. The arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated these challenges for the Ugandan people. Fortunately, with the support of a special Covid-19 grant for music collaborations from the German Goethe Institute, Ancient Astronauts and BA Cypher Kabaka secured funding for this album project.

But who exactly are BA Cypher Kabaka? Their Hip Hop movement took root in 2014, starting with 7 core members. This album highlights the talents of Spyda MC, Phitzo Kiganda, DXL Magezi, Niina MC, Natural Calamity MC, Taye Mwasiba, and Nsonga Diasy. Also known as The Cypher Kings, they comprise a growing collective of rappers, singers, Hip Hop practitioners, Graffiti artists, DJs, and Breakdancers. Together, they represent various indigenous cultures of Uganda and strive to instill pride in African heritage and identity among youth by blending Hip Hop culture and elements with local languages within an indigenous cultural context.

Their music features conscious lyrics with uplifting messages, delivered in various local languages such as Luganda, Lusoga, Lunyole, Lulamogi, Runyaruguru, Runyankole, and many other dialects. Their message centers on addressing the challenges faced by ghetto youth and sharing African philosophies on self-knowledge, virtuous leadership, self-love, self-development, and confident expression.

With a focus on initiating positive social change, BA Cypher Kabaka engages slum societies to create platforms that foster confidence in African identities among young people and inspire economic growth through creative arts.

Given Ancient Astronauts' commitment to conscious and positive messaging in their music, eschewing the capitalistic trappings of commercial Hip Hop, collaborating with BA Cypher Kabaka was a natural progression. Music as a catalyst for societal change, uniting people, instilling hope, and empowerment lies at the core of Hip Hop. The fusion of indigenous African rhythms with Ancient Astronauts' meticulous production and Cypher Kabaka's lyrical prowess renders this album a gem in African Hip Hop. Its rhythmic flow echoes the cultural history and groove of Mama Africa, specifically Uganda. 

Welcome to the Pearl of Africa!

Ipman is a name that's been coming up an awful lot recently, and for all the right reasons. The moniker of Jack Gibbons, it has come to mean the exciting new face of UK dance music, unleashing gritty techno, menacing dub and breakbeat nightmares to devastating effect.

After Gibbons' debut album, Depatterning, first turned up in the DT office, it didn't take long for us to jump on the Ipman bandwagon. Signed to Tectonic - the Bristol powerhouse headed up by Pinch - the album drops October 16th, and offers a glimpse at the nation's electronic heritage, drawing heavily from nostalgic influences to create a contemporary kaleidoscope of sound. 

It seems Gibbons' takes a similarly varied approach in his track selection process too. The Herefordshire DJ's Spotlight Mix contains work from key figures, renowned for their distinct sounds: Objekt, Kowton, Cristian Vogel, Randomer, Tessela, Aphex Twin... the list goes on. Whether this is a pro selecta flexing his muscles, or simply Jack getting bored easily (and he has admitted a tendency to do that), we're impressed to say the least, and we think you will be too.
