Mad Vibes - Turn On

Sidechain Music’s mastermind strikes again, delivering a final high in Mad Vibes’ ever longing trial - his passion for refixing the deepest layers of the junglist sound traditions. He now found it: The Voodoo - in sound! Be charmed and demandingly surprised of his profound and fresh breakbeat and bass culture vision. Find four fine tribalist approaches to synth- infused, heady jungle, lofty amens and earthen dub styles. In differently rolling futurist fashion.

01 VOODOO
A charmingly dark n deep sight onto a dubby and atmospheric d&b vibe. Flirtatious highs flicker round a swollen bassline while eerie pads and voices add to a mysterious vibe . A track classicly fresh in anyone’s box. This one enters your sets like a good spirit!

02 SHAMAN
As the Shaman went to the jungle? Well, he probably danced. Possibly in a wild fury, obeying the ever changing drum patterns, the spells, the threatening noises and voices from the dark unknown. As the track unfolds, your ceremony could do so!

03 MACH ONE
What an enrgetic shot. A low-slung setting of feverish rides heightens the vibe of a synth- ladden notorious melody. The beat alone forms the speed of your travel, but its the meldody that shoots you to the moon!

04 LARGER THAN LIFE
Anyone believing in breaks having a special soul will feel this track filling its title. Think early atmospheric jungle in a tight modern production and dive in. This one has a solemn greatness and beauty that make you feel larger, than whatever!

Mad Vibes again, crowning a series of strong EPs for his very own imprint. This time, by letting loose a pack so versatile and demanding in any field of D&B, seriously opting for the drum and bass in, erm – drum and bass... “Firetime” has been long in the making and the tracks will prove that even most timeless jungle formulars bow to their efficient update. 

01 TIMELAPS
Rolling ‘til the wheels fall off, flying swift yet swaying like a helicopter, this one keeps you grounded as much as it keeps you flying. An array of trademark-ish sounds, bound together by an addictive synth-line. A valid musical roller, sticking out in any big dj-set by mere weight!

02 DIPSHIT
Percussive, gnarly, demanding bassism. Mad Vibes keeps feeling out timeless grooves and patterns, to re-mix and re-merge it all over again: finest lows, eerie atmospheres, tribal-ish jungle noises and MC dictations – all sources find together, making up for a fervent hunter of a track! 

03 BELOW 40
Below 40? A place Mad Vibes loves to have his bass dwell at. This one is not just a matter of frequencies though. This one goes as much way lower, as it goes way deeper. Find yourself on an excursion into half-time junglism at the same time raucous as meditative. A special vibe!

04 FIRETIME 
No words needed here, actually… All this one needs to dominate any floor is a bassline so sickly devastating exceptions, ladden with style so long and wide, and offering u “Rewind”-options so unique…. who wouldn’t call this a Firetime? Indeed!
