Breath

Hypnotized

I Know (Extended Mix)

Lonely City Sampler

Then There Was The Mass Chanting

From the depths of the apartment, swirling, downed, fussy drums are heard. An arabesque of loud vocal samples playfully jumps over the hummocks of a funky beat, making its way through a string of distorted, sometimes convulsive rhythm.

Someone is rushing around the room, putting on shiny leggings in front of the mirror and setting off the eyelids with the color of Jacko's last breath, and someone, blurring in a euphoric smile, can't get up from the chair an hour before the party.

The sounds of vicious, garage pleasure can continuously replace each other in different guises: charismatic bass incarnation, the dominance of sharp and lumpy dubstep bottoms, ripe synthesizer loops, irrational 2-step patterns and even compliant jungle drops with ragga tunes.

Each element is equivalent, so anything can get into your head. This music, which has rightfully become an integral part of British culture, grew up together with its listeners, who did not have time to blink an eye, as they got families, replacing bright parties with lamp gatherings at the home sound system.

This is not about deconstructing the style, but about its modern reincarnation and an attempt to add more soul to the second various within the framework of the Spezial Series from GLBDOM.

Peace to the world, tape to the label, UKG to the people!

Shall Not Fade: Malaika (DJ Mix)

Addicted (Mixed)

Bristol-based Draconian Audio honcho and LBM resident Sempra delivers yet another outstanding release to upstart London collective La bonne musique. Since his popular ‘Breakbeats and Heartache’ EP on the label, he’s gone on to release on the legendary Future Classic imprint as well as Coco Bryce’s Myor. Now, he continues his onslaught of jungle and garage-fueled tracks on home soil with the ‘Red Eye’ EP.

With strong nods to his previous release on La bonne, the title track kicks things off with moody junglist vocals echoing out over clean drums and a moody, distorted Reese. ‘Right Now’ then switches things up with a garage groove, wobbly bass and more iconic sampling wizardry before ‘I Do’ plunges you right back into the depths of dark and nostalgic breakbeat. ‘Call 4 Me’ closes out the release with pitched-up vocals supplying the EP with some of Sempra’s signature happy hardcore flavour. ‘Red Eye’ is a carefully crafted love letter to UK rave culture showcasing the artist’s beyond impressive versatility and skill.
