Following a noticeable quiet period with Aural Adrenaline, the label is back in full swing with a four track EP of all new-material from label founder JAKAZiD. "Maximum Sass EP" rounds up a quartet of exclusive hardcore cuts which are all strikingly different to each other whilst still maintaining his identifiable style of frenzied samples and melodies.

"D/D/P/U" is not too much of a departure from some of JAKAZiD's recent hardcore offerings such as "Make It Werk" or "See It Coming", but still strives to keep things fresh. The track is a hype-constructing assemblage of meticulous vocal chops, joyous riffs and tough kicks which will get you stomping instantly.

"Have 2 Survive" makes a departure from the 4/4 beats in favour of turbulent rolling breakbeats and a sonic collage of stabs before dropping into euphoric pitched-up vocal bliss. This track was originally produced nearly two years ago for a different project and was practically forgotten about until recently, but has given a new lease of life with a rougher, tougher mixdown for the dancefloors of 2014.

"Incomprehensible" boldly makes the move of weaving filtered recognisable disco loops over a pounding, regimented 4/4 hardcore beat. The track echoes the tough over-saturated beats of Rhythm Masters remixes from the 90s, but pitched all the way to 170.

Finally, the EP closer "My Beat" is a genre-defying beast of its own, throwing in bleepy, buzzy sounds and chopped vocals over a heavy disjointed groove that will relentlessly penetrate your eardrums.

Duburban, Peeb, Pixl - At This Moment

So much gratitude to everybody who's supported my musical journey so far by listening, liking, commenting and especially sharing.

This track is nowhere near the level I want my production to be, but it is a big step since my last release. In 2025 I will continue exploring audio and music, release more music and better mixes.

Tell me what you think, always open to constructive criticism :)

Whilst producing this I developed my synthesis & sound design, a lot. I focused on creating high quality core elements and designing specific textures and tones.
99% of the sounds used in this track were synthesized with Vital and operator.

Produced, mixed and mastered by myself on Ableton, with stock plugins.

Enjoy!! 😄

This second EP from Alex Jungle comes with the standard amount of chaos and confusion, what with it being titled Chapter Three. But once again, Alex drops four demented breakbeat tracks, flexing his muscles with both the old skool and the classic jungle styles, yet keeping his eyes on progression and innovation. The only thing better than having this Chapter Three EP would be having Chapter Two as well.

Available from 7pm BST on the 12th June 2025
