ANDY C - Nightlife 6 - OUT NOW - http://po.st/Nightlife6iTunes

The enthralling ‘Nightlife 6’ EP story continues at rapid pace… Andy C’s largest ever mix release: across three CDs he’s curated nothing but the very best new music from the scene’s most talented, dynamically daring producers. 

The second of this unmissable two-part EP release, here are four more examples of contemporary creativity that Andy’s weaved into ‘Nightlife 6’ with razor-sharp exactitude. 

We launch with DC Breaks’ ‘Slugs’. A gigantic, guttural sonic slam-dunk, the swampy bass slithers and squirms throughout while a paranoid arpeggio adds a critical sense of drama over a heavyweight rhythm. It’s been a massive year for DC Breaks and ‘Slugs’ shows just why. 
Up next is another Ram native who’s had an impeccable year. A quintessential screw-face roller, ‘Portland’ sees Rene LaVice celebrating everything we love about dark, dirty drum & bass. Unrelenting reload-ready bass tones laid gracefully over tight breakbeat: this is a future classic. No question. 
‘Nightfall’ follows. Known for his sharp-tongued MC acuity, here Codebreaker reveals his stunning and soulful vocal skills. Complemented by Stealth’s uncompromising, sheet metal riddim and iced-out mournful minor chords, there’s an incredible sense of balance and head-turning contrast. Truly unique. 
Dose finalises this gargantuan two part EP series with the unruly romp ‘Bounce Off’. Sprung with chop-slapping bass, mind-blowingly heavy kick drums and a hype-heaving MC vocal, this ferocious tear-up lives up to its name in every way: Dancefloor mayhem guaranteed… There is no better way to conclude one of Ram Records’ biggest EP releases of 2013.

Rene LaVice - Portland

The A-Side to the second Moving Shadow single. We actually wrote this in April 1995 but it took a year to come out due to the heavy release schedule of the label.


'Kuana' - Aquasky - Moving Shadow 1996

Love this tune and it seems to be one that most people mention that are into d&b back then. Actually it was a huge inspiration to High Contrast who actually wrote a tune inspired by it (i cant remember which tune it was, ill ask him next time i see him) on his first album! It came out on a limited edition doublepack EP titled 'Radium' (with the tracks 'Radium', 'I Cant Wait' & 'Uptight' and also a 12" in its own right. A classic roller for sure!!! Also featured on the Rob Playford's GTA radio station mix for the computer game GTA

'Spectre' - Aquasky - Moving Shadow 2000 - GTA!!!

All three need little introduction. The Beggars have been criss-crossing hip hop, dubstep, breakbeat and more for over ten years, Perez counts Shogun Audio, Soul:r, Spearhead and Metalheadz among the d'n'b labels he's released on and Riko's a straight up grime don.

The History Of Moving Shadow (1991-1998)

'Sands Of Time' starts with echoing hi-hats as beautiful filmic vocals cry into the distance and set the scene for this dancefloor opus. Just as you drift off into the intros seismic waves you're forced to seek cover as the breakbeats drop like a slab of concrete. Shuffling edits and huge analogue waves battle for supremacy as the heavy rhythms play havoc with your senses. Think 'gladiator' meets 'aliens vs predator'… The creepy intro of 'Isida' takes you on a journey through eastern percussion and crouching tiger style string arrangements. Beautiful vocals resonate amongst the dark rolling drums and huge bass lines. A perfect blend of heavy rhythms and uplifting melodies ensure this is guaranteed to smash dance floors worldwide. 'As We Look' gives us another vocal workout, but this time the sultry female tones emphasize the driving breaks and fluctuating bass lines that motor forward at heavy pace. Layered breaks gain more momentum as the tracks solid rhythm's interlock at every turn. This is a straight up slice of tech-funk that is definitely gonna see some heavy rotation in the coming months. The EP is rounded off with a fantastic piece of techno funk. The structure of 'Next Rhythm' is entirely synthetic, yet it breathes soul and oozes funk. A neurotic 'speak and spell' chants the track title as complex, robotic rhythms snap together building a wall of breaks and bass. An absolutely infectious head nodder that will definitely have them flocking to the booth to find out what it is.

Sunchase - Isida [Moving Shadow]

this is the mix, consisting of Moving Shadow releases only, clocking in at 4 (four) hours and is the first mix of three. all tracks featured (except one) are from releases with catalogue numbers before 100 - roughly at that time there was a major change in drum&bass as a whole - it became more cold, nervous, machine-like and I felt emotionally more connected to the more soulful, atmospheric and jazzy stuff being released earlier than that.

as you might have figured out by now, I was - and still am, in a way - an addict of this fine label which managed to release a hell of an amount of most forefront quality drum&bass and jungle of it's time. I was so obsessed I had to get every single vinyl Moving Shadow release. after 250 or so releases, I still am halfway. for me, it was a label with unsurpassed quality/quantity ratio, with an unique sound, the cream of the crops, the icing on a chocolate cake. few other drum&bass labels have ever gotten close to this, most notably the Good Looking empire, Metalheadz.

if anyone should care, it was recorded using two stanton st-90 turntables, a numark dm3001x mixer and two stanton sk520 cartridges, meaning it's an all vinyl mix and recorded in one go.

as I said before, there are two more 4-hour moving shadow only sessions. my ultimate dream would be to re-record and re-master these mixes using digital copies, to ensure the best sound quality which the pieces of music contained definitely deserve. these mixes were intended to be a journey through the soundscape, the snapshot of mid-90s moving shadow world, therefore, my input is merely a vessel for the music.

Moving Shadow 05.2 - Mixed by Calyx - YouTube

this is the follow-up to the part one (obviously :)), recorded it mainly for two reasons: way too many missed brilliant tunes from sub-100th release era, and the unconditional love for the Moving Shadow, the era it represents and the way these tunes shaped me. consider it a healthy amount of nostalgia, the soundscape I fell in love with, and pushed me towards drum&bass in general. clever use of samples, old jazz/funk breaks, mellow rhodes, heartbreaking melodies, deep pounding subs... you know the drill.

recorded in the same manner as the other parts: two stanton st-90 turntables, a numark dm3001x mixer and two stanton sk520 cartridges. all vinyl, of course.
