The EP opens with Trident’s stunning ‘Feel Good’ – a love letter to the jungle raves of bygone eras and the halcyon days of the sound, imbued with the vibes of classic UKG evoking memories of the likes of MJ Cole. The release continues with the infectious ‘Profit’ by Sam Link, which sees the Wisconsin-based breakbeat scientist taking a stripped-down approach with a more traditional stepper, allowing all elements ample space to breathe and play with each other through call and response. Cold Leader contributes the wonky dancefloor destroyer ‘The Hollow Sausage’, ironically packed chock-full of bone, gristle and plenty of chunkiness to keep the crowds moving.

Part 2 of the ‘Drifting…’ trilogy of releases, ‘Keys For A Drifting Rose EP’ is the fourth release on Codename: RCRDS, the new label from Southampton-based jungle, 160 and atmospheric crew Codename: Amen. 

Keys For A Drifting Rose commences with ‘The One’ by the atmos master Okee, a dreamy inward looking roller for the ages, alternating haunting vocals perfectly capturing feelings of post-rave isolation. Man of the moment Mineral returns to the label with ‘Shallow’, contrasting chopped breaks, atmospheric tones and deep rumbling basses in a beautiful example of his truly unique sound.

Next up we find the prolific NonRev in commanding form, with the mysterious and powerful roller ‘Private Eye’, perfectly primed to get dancefloors moving with it’s rumbling basslines, intricate drum edits and catchy vocals, before the EP closes with Bottoni's fascinating reworking of ‘Shallow’, where a half-time rhythm is interspersed with the breakbeat choppage and atmospherics of Mineral’s original, clearly demonstrating the talents of this unique and talent artist.

The EP opens finding Codename regular NonRev in great form with ‘Tapes’, where gorgeous keys and deep strings entwine with rolling breaks and evocative vocals. This is a great 2024 opener for this talented artist who will be featuring heavily on the label throughout the year.

Arcologies has been an artist we have long been keen to feature on the label, and he moves things into a deeper direction with his debut track ‘Starless Night’, a beautiful deep roller with dreamlike qualities which instantly transport you to another place and realm – destination uncertain.

Another debutant, the talented Data B makes his first appearance with ‘Cocktail’, with deep pads and deep key tones sitting alongside its rumbling bass and rolling breaks.

The EP closes with Fortune & Chance’s ‘Enchant Code’, with haunting guitars and vocals dovetailing with rolling synth basslines, bringing the release and the series to a close beautifully.
