Original early Junglist... This is Jungle at its purist.. Darkside pressure 🔥🔥🔥

I just love the sound of vinyl, man, it seems like especially with Jungle the high end slowly gives out and gets really crispy after a while, causing this really strange crackling effect whenever you hear drums or timestretch, this tune sounds amazing with it imo.

Artist: Groove Chronicles
Title: Midnite Moves EP
Label: CoOp Presents
Released: March 4th 2022
Format: Digital
Cat No: COOP016

CoOp Presents crew enter 2022 with the help of some legends from the world of UK dance music; a three-track EP
of seriously uplifting broken step from the dons Groove Chronicles.
Groove Chronicles have releases dating back to 1997 and are legendary in the world of UKG.
Founded by Noodles, he is now working with longtime associate, Dubchild.
Noodles has been working in the music game for three decades, from spinning at raves in Paris when he was 17,
to serving it up behind the record shop counter, to running his own label, DPR. Responsible for bonafide classics
like ‘Stone Cold’, ‘Myron’ & ‘Poor Man’s Break’, his work serves as a blueprint for many sounds across the UK bass
spectrum.
Leicester legend, Dubchild, stems from a musical background of reggae, hip hop, house, garage & jungle. He’s
released an array of dubstep & instrumental grime records through various labels since the early noughties,
including Caspa’s Storming Productions & Heavy Artillery, amongst others.
The duo also combine under the moniker Nu-Agenda with their own hybrid house style, and have had collective
support over the years from stations such as 1Xtra, NTS, Kiss, Reprezent & Rinse, DJs such as Annie Mac, Zane
Lowe, Mary Anne Hobbs & Ras Kwame, and publications like iD, Fact, DJ Mag & Crack Magazine, to name a few.
So to the music, a triple threat of bass music, riding along at roughly 130bpm.
We kick off with some pure ‘Joy’, which does what it says on the tin. This is feel-good vibes straight from the edge;
the duo’s unique blend of broken 2step garage fusion incorporates skippy drums, soulful r&b tinged vocals, gliding
horns, smooth rhodes and some serious bassweight.
‘Take Me Away’ is on a more traditional 2Step vein. Another soulful vocal rides across a UKG backing, complete
with killer subs, organ stabs and a sprinkle of jungle chops scattered on top to liven up the dance.
The set closes with the BrokenStep mix of ‘Inside Stepping’. This is a slightly more stripped deeper one, but still
blending 2Step sonics on top of a brokenstep riddim, with soulful touches and clash shouts. Heads-down foundation
business for the steppers.
Groove Chronicles’s ‘Midnite Moves’ EP is released digitally worldwide on CoOp Presents, March 4th 2022.

Astral Black step back in the ring with the 5th instalment of their 'Frass FM' compilation series. The UK label follow up Xao's critically acclaimed 'Eternal Care Unit' LP with these 16 exclusive tracks from some of the most exciting names in British club music, both this decade and last.

Illusive Astral Black OG, DJ Milktray turns in the skippy club bubbler Instinct, his first release for 4 years. Tiff's Joints label-head Poison Zcora (FKA Born Cheating) takes the Frass FM opportunity to make his production debut with the gloriously bounce-strapped, broken stomper, 'Victory Over The British Museum'. Rinse FM/6-Figure Gang's Jossy Mitsu brings us the second of our production debuts with the breaks-laden 'Whirl', whilst elsewhere fellow Rinse FM resident, Izco, handles intro duties with deep chords and rolling percs. Maxwell Owin (South London Jazz scene's answer to Rick Rubin) teams up with Anurah on the fittingly titled 'TOI 700 d', named after our closest habitable planet; and long-term Astral Black affiliate & Co-op/Soulection member Sivey reimagines Dave Gruisin's 'Modaji' into a holy-spirit capturing 160-bpm foot-work roller.

If that's not enough, the compilation boasts equally as note-worthy contributions from the likes of multi-genre Team Sesh producer hnrk, Grime 2 wonder-kid Polonis, label mainstays Creep Woland, Xao, F17, Shy One & Impey, new school squad members Bruised Skies & Thugwidow, legendary UK rap producer/mastering mastermind, Telemachus and 616/Swamp81 affiliate, Sumgii.

The free download compilation not only acts as an audio snapshot of UK club music in 2020 but marks what looks set to be an exciting year for the Astral Black label. Junglist Creep Woland is set to follow hot on the heels of Frass with his 'Chamberlain' EP, followed by 'Requiem For a Sesh' - the collaborative project from Bruised Skies & Thugwidow shortly after.

Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 
Use the playlist shortcuts (top of spotlight) to find your way around. 

Have fun, spread the love :)
