By now it’s common knowledge that Etch is one of the brightest sparks working in the field of contemporary breakbeat mangling. The Brighton-based producer has the depth of knowledge about breaks, and the expressive affinity for how to slice and rearrange them, to rank among some of the greats. We’re talking Photek, Paradox, Source Direct levels of drum science here. Of course he’s more than just a break slicer too – look no further than last year’s Strange Days LP on Seagrave for a more widescreen angle on the Etch sound.

Toasting five years since we first carried some of Zak Brashill’s advanced junglisms on Sneaker, and three since his 2018 album Ups & Downs, we’re thrilled to welcome him back for an excursion into the heart of his drumfunk practice. On the A side of this single the sound field is sparse and taut, echoing the stripped-back, minimalistic atmosphere Paradox just brought to SNKR029. All emphasis is on the drums, and the staggering contortions they’re bent into. Where there is additional sonic dressing, it comes in noirish chord drops and distant celestial vapours that add to the palpable sense of tension.

By the contrast the B-side welcomes in a little more human warmth, with a vocal hook on ‘Shadows Passed By’ that calls back to Smith & Mighty’s flip of the Bacharach soul standard ‘Walk On By’, and a collaboration with Luo that trades in blue-tinted vibes and airy diva vocals. In both instances, needlepoint beat programming is still key and an overall sense of restraint guides the composition, lingering in a sustained mood rather than breaking out in excess drama. Etch sounds more accomplished and in control than ever on this 12”, and we’re honoured to be releasing such vital additions to the jungle narrative.

DJ Trax steps up with a blissed out musical journey with beautiful horns and pianos under rolling drums. This one takes you back to steamy evenings at The Mars Bar in Charing Cross for the legendary Speed nights. 
I was absolutely captivated by these sounds back in the mid 90's so it's absolutely right to showcase something from an artist like Trax who has been pioneering since the beginning.

Informed by all the sub strains of UK Bass music and the Hardcore Continuum, Analias’s hazy sound blurs across the spectrum from slow chugging house grooves to RnB-tinged broken Garage, and on to clinical, yet tempered, Drum & Bass. His productions straddle both poles between melancholy and euphoria, with an underlying greying hue in the center where all the disparate colors of the underground meld into one.  Preferring to let the music speak on his behalf, Analias’s already substantial discography is an accomplished body of work that deserves all of the attention and praise soon to come his way. LGHPS is very happy to help amplify this phenomenal artist to the world.

Sempra & DJ Hybrid - Reckoning

After two impressive reworks of tunes by BOP and Need For Mirrors, Kuttin Edge himself now graces us with two beautiful and boundary-pushing originals, combining with the previously released remixes in a four-track EP.

Both originals are inspired by Kuttin Edge's recent trip to Japan, with the title track, 'Hanzōmon Line,' taking its name directly from a Tokyo Metro Line. This track is a relentless, techno-influenced piece, in the artist's own words, "channeling my inner Jeff Mills."
In contrast, the opening track of the EP, 'Take Me Back,' contrasts with 'Hanzōmon Line' nicely, featuring elegant and dreamy tones atop groovy breaks.

Pair these two Kuttin Edge originals with remixes from drum & bass heavyweights BOP and Need For Mirrors, and you've got yourself one powerhouse of an EP.

The Hanzōmon EP from Kuttin Edge drops March 13th.

110 BPM

Lyric: 

Trochę jak Londyn tonę we mgle
Mam kolekcję wspomnień, które żyją wiecznie
Tak jak tagi na szybie też mam swój cień (tagi as grafiti tags)
Jak słońce i księżyc jak noc i dzień

Jak tagi na szybie kiedy pada na mnie słońce
Nabieram głębi i w sobie się topie
Jak tagi na szybie, każdy ma tu znak po sobie 
Jak hieroglify, można czytać z nich opowieść 

Dzwoni telefon a ja zostaję przy bitach
Mam w sercu burze przez którą zawsze coś świta
Mam w sercu burze przed którą zawsze jest cisza
Mam w sercu burze a po niej zawsze są róże 

Świece tak jasno jak diamonds in the sky
It’s shawty on the beat I’m just learning to fly
Prędzej czy później, sobie wróżę złote szaty, lokaty w oknach kutasy, i dom pełen pełen kasy, przed domem dwu poziome tarasy Orange Malibu lilac diesel i huge eco basen, w tle bassy z pierwszej led zeppelin trasy, nowe przekazy bo nastają nowe czasy

Dzwoni telefon a ja zostaję przy bitach
Mam w sercu burze przez którą zawsze coś świta
Mam w sercu burze przed którą zawsze jest cisza
Mam w sercu burze a po niej zawsze są róże
