London-based Benncart returns with another instalment of his Heartcore series, which explores the legacy of British dance music through a footwork-inspired lens with humorously added romantic undertones. Focusing on the first half of the glorious 90’s when jungle reigned supreme, the second volume incorporates numerous tropes signature to the style at the time. Pout-inducing bass, heavily chopped-up breakbeats, dub sirens, and ragga vocal samples are married with futuristic sound design and syncopated rhythms, while simultaneously giving a small nod to golden era hip-hop. The two presented tracks are in significant contrast with each other – “Heartcore Theme” brings forth aggressive, distorted tones, while “That Heartcore Shit” mellows things out with ethereal pads and a more melodic approach reminiscent of the so-called intelligent strain of jungle prominent in the mid-90’s. Both pieces deliver an idiosyncratic take on both sides of the hardcore spectrum that should satiate all junglists and junglettes hungry for a fresh take on the classic UK sound.

NRG CRU INVITES: CHINTU

@andwahn
Purchase / Pre Order: https://andwahn.bandcamp.com/album/how-u-feel-ep
Release Date: October 27th, 2024
Info: How U Feel transposes a fresh sprouting of highly strung self-worth into four melodically vivid
and hard-hitting jungle tracks. Through surging synth lines, rolling bass grooves, RnB vocal
sampling and chrome-plated breaks, this EP is an ode to the powers of hyper-romanticism and
melancholic devotion, and inward & outward emotional availability as their guiding force.
The EP begins with “Warm Wash”, kicking off with a steady dub reggae-inspired bassline
groove, breakbeat-piano euphoria and a classic vocal sample. “Sacrificial” continues the dub
influence with flutters of echoed vocal harmonies and acidic, airy synthesis. The title track

takes the mood into a darker territory with a slow burner of retro-futuristic synthesis, dancehall-
based breakbeat riddims, and a piercing vocal hook. “B4DB1DNESS (Vocal Mix)” brings forth an

anthemic amen breaks dub of Tinashe’s “None of My Business”, prompting both tears and
elation in the peak time. Closing out the EP is a remix of “Sacrificial” by Kultiv, which switches
up the original mix with wobbling basslines and nocturnal junglist ambience.
