One of the tracks of the year already for me!  Excellent work John.

wow 👏.  You just keep delivering. Stunning work

This really is a stunning piece of work sir!

got those wicked good looking/ PFM vibes, love it

Love this track so much.  Beautiful work.  Started a guest mix for Omni Music with it: https://soundcloud.com/omnimusicuk/guest-mix-moakz-lost-chapter-ep-launch?si=acd296de841946e9b15d650e7de7d530&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

A defining member of the hardcore techno scene in the early nineties and stretching his influence across a range of sub genres, from jungle to house music, there’s not one section of the cultural shifts since then which Nookie hasn’t seeped his influence into. Whether it’s been pivotal moments on imprints such as Labello Blanco, Reinforced, Moving Shadow or Good Looking, he’s proven the span of his creativity with every track he’s released across a plethora of labels. This continues with a brand-new single on Metalheadz, extending across an array of styles and a natural progression from his acclaimed remix of Goldie’s ‘Inner City Life’.

Ahead of Nookie's highly anticipated album dropping on Headz imminently, In-Reach are proud to premiere 'Kaeya' the D&B mix.

PREMIERE:  Nookie - Kaeya 'D&B Mix' (Metalheadz)

Dos75 & Jrumhand  both met whilst studying at college in Northampton in the mid-nineties. We both loved jungle and drum and bass music and it seemed only natural to set up our own weekly drum and bass night called 'Deep' in the town spinning our favourite tracks that we were hearing out at places such as Speed and Metalheadz. We also dabbled in music production on the Amiga. It was a great time for the music and we absolutely loved it!
Fast forward twenty five years and I'm still very much enjoying composing music (https://soundcloud.com/jrumhand) and contributing positively to the drum and bass scene from the peaceful and rural surroundings of North Devon. Looking back over the last 15 years, I am most proud of having my first vinyl release with Blade on the 'Jazzn' LP on Good Looking Records (https://soundcloud.com/jrumhand/cascade) and being invited to play at Fabric by the mighty LTJ Bukem back in 2014, who has continued to support my music.(https://www.fabriclondon.com/.../audio-jrumhand...).
I was also asked by Phil Basement to contribute a piece called ‘Wonsaponatime’ on the Precious Material – The Beginning album (https://jrumhand.com/.../wonsaponatime-features-on-new.../) and have another two tracks with the talented German producer Poschek (https://soundcloud.com/poschek) scheduled for the label's next vinyl album project (https://soundcloud.com/.../jrumhand-poschek-tropical...) (https://soundcloud.com/.../jrumhand-poschek-my-town...). Again, another legendary label I have a huge amount of respect for. I have been remixed by legends such as PFM (https://soundcloud.com/jrumhand/jrumhand-johnny-promise-pfm) and was honoured to remix Nookie’s ‘Rebounded', which was hammered around the world. (https://soundcloud.com/jrumhand/nookie-rebounded-jrumhands)
I continue to love the immersion of the music making process and have built up an extensive back catalogue of releases on many labels from across the scene, including more recently Soul Deep Exclusives and Smooth n Groove Records, who have been great supporters of my music.
I also have a lot of my back catalogue and some brand new piece of music available only from my Bandcamp site (https://jrumhand.bandcamp.com/) which I am adding to all the time.
It's an honour to record a special mix for my good friend Dos75's show and I'm really pleased to feature on Unknown FM, which I've heard is making great strides recently and building up an ever growing and loyal following.
Look out for lots of new music over the next few months including a special vinyl release on the 10 years of Soul Deep album out this Summer as well as more collaborations with Posheck and lots of additional solo work.
Information is always available from my website. (https://jrumhand.com/)

SoulStructure - Lovers & Friends

Hailing from Bolton (UK), brothers John & Dominic Crossland formed SoulStructure in late 2012 and have quickly become synonymous with ambient, jazz and old skool infused drum & bass.

With a ten year age gap the brothers have had different journeys to get to this point….

At the age of 11, under the guidance of the duo’s older brother Iain and friend JB, John started to build his record and mixtape collection; developing an early passion for breakbeat and jungle techno. Influenced by the sounds of Omni Trio, Nookie & Peshay, this led to the logical progression of learning to DJ a couple of years later. As time went on and the music developed, John became more enraptured by the prospect of music production and emulating his idols…. PFM, DJ Pulse, Intense, Artemis et al. He saved up what money he could to buy an Akai sampler, Roland synthesizer and computer sequencer. John started to experiment with sounds and established a large sample library which would serve him well in later years.

As time went on he maintained his burning passion for the music but became preoccupied with playing football and progressing his professional career as a recruitment manager. The dreams of calving his own identity in the music production world went on hold. However, John remained influenced by jazz, hip hop & soul and continued to build a substantial vinyl collection and quietly hone his song writing skills.

Dom developed an eclectic taste in music from a young age. From indie rock to techno, he soaked up different influences; always keeping an open mind. Coupled with a passion for avant-garde and world cinema, Dom became a vessel for all things abstract and cult. He invested in a pair of Technics 1200s and, alongside close friend Will, began mixing hip hop and drum & bass for hours on end; back-to-back sessions that would go on to the early hours of the morning. After enrolling on a music technology degree, Dom's production skills developed very quickly. Under the name Release, he soon had music signed by a variety of labels. His solo project has become known for razor sharp drums, grinding bass lines and sic-fi samples. He continues to release music under this moniker and has established a reputation for his technical ability and engineering skills having released music through Horizons & DJ Trace’s DCI4 imprint.

In the midst of establishing his solo project, Dom sent a track to LTJ Bukem that received heavy support. Due to sample clearance issues it was not possible to release, so Danny asked what other music he had available. At this point the brothers decided to work together and revisit some of the projects John started over a decade earlier. The boys went on to sign a handful of tracks to Bukem’s Good Looking Records imprint and SoulStructure was born. Unfortunately the label folded before the tracks could be unleashed to the world. However, Paul SG was quick to swoop and sign the duo to his growing Jazzsticks Recordings label in 2014.

John & Dom’s first release was a remix of Paul’s underground classic ‘Rhodesomes’ followed by the critically acclaimed Origin EP featuring collaborations with Pulsaar, Jrumhand and the legendary saxophonist Molly Duncan in early 2015.

The boys have since released the single ‘Brooklyn Belles’ and the PFM inspired tribute ‘Progressive Future Music’ on Repertoire’s Full Repertoire Vol.1 compilation. Over the last year the duo have been collaborating with a variety of artists and working on the SoulStructure debut LP ‘Time & The Truth’, which should see a release in March/April 2018.

The SoulStucture sound will guide you through ambient soundscapes scattered with jazz samples and underpinned by solid steel classic drum breaks. Unashamedly influenced by mid-90s drum & bass, John & Dom’s DJ sets are no different. Let your mind drift and your body sway.
