Law, Wheeler, Kola Nut & Tim Reaper - R-WHITES Vol 3

Basic Rhythm returns to Raw Basics, this time with a couple of mates in tow. 

Kicking off the A side is a collaboration with long time friend Tim Reaper. The title track to the EP, Revival opens with lush pads and stepping drums, before unleashing tumbling breaks and a chest rattling sub that roll through to the breakdown and second drop, when the true chaos of the Hardcore influence is unleashed with an updated oldskool stab riff, drawing as much on early C4C tracks as from 93 Hardcore.

The second track, On The 86 (Romford Mix) opens with a dark drone and tumbling breakbeat punctuated with stabs, before letting loose the breaks and a huge bass line evocative of early ‘90s Hardcore but with a contemporary approach. This one is a dance floor smasher! This is followed by a digital only alternative version of On The 86. The (Stratford Mix) opens with airy pads and a more militant break pattern before dropping into the breakdown, drawing for some old rave stabs before unleashing the breaks and bass for a modern take on the current oldskool revival. 

Track four is a collaboration with Sully. Apache (Let The Bass Go) opens with a pitched and filtered break and pads, gradually dropping down into a “proper Hardcore riff” accentuated by scattering pitched breaks and sub bass. Wait for the switch on this one though! And watch your bass bins!

The last track, Help Me, more overtly nods to the sound of 92, with lush pads a classic vocal sample and rolling breaks. This one has a low fi edge and pure 92 Hardcore energy combined with modern production techniques. Watch this one devastate the dance floor and get the ladies raving! 

The Revival EP doesn't let up for a moment, with dance floor killers from start to finish this one needs to be in your record box!

Revival

Basic Rhythm & Tim Reaper - Revival

Contemporary Jungle flagbearer Tim Reaper inaugurates the Big Bad Shark off with an aesthetical statement of intent, harnessing echoes of Wax Doctor and Alex Reece from the cosmos and pinning the feeling down with euphoric pads and a ten-tonne soundman b line ensuring that all the lasers are shot from the head into the sky.

Flip for the shimmering amen lash of “Quincy”, as Tim collaborates with Motor City beat smith Nvious to pay homage to Dreamscape tape Bukem.  Another entry certifying the tradition of cross pollination between London and Detroit continues to bear fruit.

THE RETURN OF SENSES! https://repertoire.bandcamp.com

After a long break from production, Senses returns! If you were a follower of the drum-led sounds of pioneering labels such as Inperspective and Bassbin in the early 2000s, you'll already know the name.

For his return he's put together a four track EP full of delicate melodies, scatter gun breakbeats and huge basslines.

From the rolling sounds of "Pharaway", the brooding amen cuts of "Fatal Fountain", to the Wax Doctor-inspired sounds of "Different Wax": Senses is back and sounding better than ever.

The 'Sepia Grooves' release pays tribute to the influence of jazz, funk and soul 
music on DnB / Jungle and to the players (most particularly the drummers) who have inspired so much of what we do today. The 3 tunes included on the release feature some of the biggest breaks in Drum & Bass, namely the Amen, the Apache and the Funky Drummer and there are photo's of each of the people responsible for the original rhythms on the sleeve and on the vinyl labels. Okay, so some of us that are close to the music know who's responsible for the foundational beats, but it still feels like people such as Gregory Coleman, Clyde Stubblefield, King Errisson and others haven't really gotten the respect and kudos they deserve to this day. This is our little way of saying thank you to these great people and of raising awareness about their contribution to the music we love so much.

Greenleaf's 'Slow Funk' is a homage to several luminaries from the perussive world of yesteryear - featuring percussives from the hands of King Errisson (Incredible Bongo Band), Jabo Starks (who drummed for James Brown) and Yogi Horton (80's session drummer for Aretha Franklin & Diana Ross) who you'll hear professing his unwavering devotion to 'slow funk'  just before the drop. The rhythms are expertly manipulated and sculpted to fit around piano keys, guitar and sax to create a deep, drummy jazz work-out.
