Law - Right Now [Unreleased Beats Vol 1]

Void Of Light, the debut EP by Matt Bass has been a long time coming, but it´s here: 4 slices of pitch-black Darkcore business, super authentic to the golden 92-94 era. 

So..Dark! lulls you into an uplifting angelic mood, think Lucky Spin/ Deejay from that era with warm pads and guru chants. Suddenly we´re switching into another program: A heavy drop hits you unexpected, pitched-up and -down ragga chants slap you in the face and before you can comprehend what happened here Matt Bass ramps up the unease with a superdark drop that´s dripping of darkness. It´s...so...dark!

Just in time for Halloween, we have limited testpressings for you! Be quick, they might not be around for long!

1-17. Traz Damji - NBA Title 98 (From NBA 1998)

PARALLAX RECORDINGS is proud to welcome Tim Reaper to make his debut for the label. 'Dead & Buried‘ turned many heads whenever played out with it´s horror samples and crazy mentazms. And if that wasnt enough darkness 'Journey To The Moon‘ doesnt feature any horror samples and is still just as pitch-black: relentless beats, heavy sub and rushing synths guarantee all hell gallops, without anything powerful enough to stop this beast. To balance the tension the positively uplifting 'Dope Break‘ combines the rough with the melancholic and has enough punch to light up any floor at peaktime. To close the EP in style Tim supplies a remix of On 1 Crew´s 'Bad Dreams‘, an obscure little number that LTJ Bukem used to play in 93 and which was the first release on Parallax in 2016. Tim effortlessly flipped it in no time and delivered this nutty jungle techno beast. Enjoy this 'terror brought down to earth'! 

All music written by Tim Reaper between September and November 2018. Mastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven

Please note this release will be available as a pre-order to secure you a copy in advance! The full release will be shipped mid-February 2019!

Back again finally with another Amen Mix - Amen Vol 4. I have been trying to do this mix for the last year it seems, but other projects seem to get in the way of it ! So the track list has changed considerably over this time. There were tunes I was going to use initially but ideas can change over time. I will use the other tunes I was going to use in another mix at some point in the future.

Sorry to the inactivity of mixes from me recently. I have been mega busy with my Audio Production degree at SAE Liverpool (which is going really well at the moment) and also trying to keep my head above water in this stranger than usual world we temporarily live in nowadays. Like everyone else my mental health has struggled more than usual but I find exercise, good diet and nothing that can artificially change your mood too much can help massively. And also just getting out into daylight to get the crucial Vitamin D we all need so very much. Every little helps ! :)

So lets help fellow humans in these tough times and give second chances wherever possible I say, lifes too short.

I would like to thank;

Lady Soul & Badmanning - its been great to connect recently, bigup Charla Green on her new promotion in life, Ontology & Junglist Forum, respect to Acid_Lab for being an outrageously consistent badman, Northern Front records (Response/Pliskin) for a recent boss vinyl release, NickyNutz, Kayaman & Rez for tunes, bigup VEB (hopefully you get home soon), bigup DJ Hitscan for the nostalgia, bigup Dave Ryder & Jaques Liverot for the tunes, shout to The Impostors (keep fighting the good fight), respect to Kabuto (bangface seems so long ago now brethren or what?),massive shout to MAC-V at the great label of Guerilla Bass Records for all the love of heavy amens and tunes....bigup the one like KETT. from way out in Nowra, respect to the badman DJ MAFS And shouts out to Kelsey on Reception for brightening my days !

Massive shout out to the Raving Rod & King Chuga fam, I hope you keep getting well Rach ! And not to forget my right hand man and wheels of steel master Mark Andrew Davies ! :)

Amen Vol 4 - Rhythm Sticks & Amen Coshes (16-bit .Wav)

The label was established in 2018 as a means to release the back catalogue of renowned Jungle Techno label Underdog Recordings, which ran from 1993-1995. It quickly expanded from beyond the original goal and now reissues sought after, rare and classic records from the Jungle, Rave, Bleep House, Techno and Jungle Techno genres.

The Vinyl Fanatiks aim is to track down and work with the original artists from the early 1990’s, to reissue their music on vinyl only, and to support the record hunters and vinyl diggers from around the world with quality pressings and superb mastering; a way to show respect and share the story of those that created these incredible records.

The vision is not to focus on the obvious artists of that time but to dig a little deeper and find those that came and went but their legacy still holds true to this day. Some of these producers only released one record and vanished soon after but their music still resonates into the 21st century, accumulating new audiences across the globe, far beyond the catchment of the UK pirate radios and muddy fields of 25 years ago. What happened to these artists? Its Vinyl Fanatik’s mission to find out!

Each record captures a moment in time, a vibe that was true and innocent from a period when music was far more synonymous with rebellion and anarchy than today’s finely polished productions and conformist club pop. This music itself bred on the outskirts of society, fuelled by the passion of the rave, its lineage stemming from the Acid House era of 1988. Often produced on minimal equipment, with minimal skills and knowledge, its audio blueprint transcends to new generations, a rawness that no expensive audio plug in could ever create in this present day.

Vinyl Fanatiks wants to pay homage to these young producers who forged the foundations of the multi-million pound EDM scene we have now. Each of these artists has their own tale to tell, their own memories to share. Limited by their own geographical status within the UK, they somehow still all managed to connect and influence each other, years before the internet, mobile phones and social media that we have today. But the music knew no limits and had no boundaries, transcending generations to this day.
