Source Direct second release on Tempo’s SPEED series from the living legendary ‘call & response’ originator: Source Direct. On this release you’ll find three new Source Direct tracks that never got released on vinyl before. Material with ‘that’ distinct trademark SD sound; superbly engineered breakbeats, the relentless sonic, rhythmic, tempo experimentation and haunting ‘Blade’ film-scape ‘dark sounds from beyond’ atmospheres accompanied with deep sub-aquatic resonant bass lines. If there’s one production technique Source Direct applied it’s the ‘call & response’ technique (the latter is also the track title of SD’s contribution to 1998’s Stephen Norrington’s ‘Blade’ cult movie which starred Wesley Snipes).
Source Direct, along with Goldie, Photek, Peshay and Wax Doctor, one of a handful of stand-out artists who were signed to major labels in the wake of Jungle’s/Drum and Bass’ popular explosion.
Around 1995 Source Direct would have been primarily known as ‘intelligent’ or ‘Speed’ artists (after LTJ Bukem’s and Fabio’s legendary SPEED midweek club, held at the Mars Bar in central London). Speed, and then Metalheadz at the Blue Note shortly afterwards, helped pave the way for dj’s & producers like Source Direct to experiment with deeper material.
Vinyl collectors please check: This release comes as a strictly limited copies handnumbered 180gram Picture Disc Vinyl pressing with a high quality polybag sleeve (including a handnumbered qty sticker on polybag corner) + all tracks mastered by Stuart Hawkes of Metropolis Mastering London.

Tempo Records is proud to release three brand new tracks by Soul Intent. These tracks highlite the current state of modern Jungle (& Drum and Bass). “Give Me A Dub” on the full A side is all about heavy Amen drums and phat basslines, one for the late night hours (or early mornings). “The Dread” uses smooth drums and slick heavy subbass-lines, it’s a hazy, dreamy track but dark & menacing at the same time, a wicked tech roller that echoes deepness reminiscing of that golden Jungle era. “Heaven ft.E” is all about melancholy with it's “crying” emotional deep male "Heaven" vocal, together with E's live saxaphone contribution and cleverly chopped-up Apache drum programming, this track reminds us of those special Bluenote/Speed days back in 1995-1996.

Blend

Tempo Records present SPEED, a new Tempo Records sublabel & project released on a limited edition 180gramm collectors picture disc vinyl with original & legendary producers whip shaped the Drum and Bass scene. First on SPEED is the legendary 'Techstep' originator DJ Trace aka Duncan Hutchison. Trace first got introduced to the rave scene in 1989 at London's Heaven nightclub. A session with Aston Harvey (Freestylers) at a Soho studio lead to Trace's first release, 'Inception', an EP on Orbital Records and launching Trace onto the DJ circuit. It wasn't long before Trace began his Kool FM show alongside MC Ryme Tyme. Fast forward to 1995 and living between Philadelphia and London Trace remixed T Power's 'Horny Mutant Jazz' (S.O.U.R.), now more commonly known as 'The Mutant Remix'. This classic underground D&B 'cult' track went onto inspire a plethora of other producers, and was hailed by many as the dawn of 'Techstep'. On this picture disc you'll find two harsh, deep 'Techstep' tracks, 'Twister' on the A side & 'Apocalypse' on the AA side with that distinct Trace spirit which still lives on today. Collectors please note: This release comes as a strictly limited 180g Handnumbered Silver Picture Disc Vinyl pressing with a high quality polybag sleeve (including a handnumbered qty stamped silver sticker on polybag corner) + all tracks mastered by Stuart Hawkes of Metropolis Mastering London.
