Various - Benny Page, Deekline & Ed Solo Present Welcome To The Jungle

Benny Page, Deekline & Ed Solo Present Welcome To The Jungle Jungle Cakes

Jungle Cakes shake us and bake us once again as label owners Deekline and Ed Solo lure long time friend Benny Page into their lair for this incredible 58 track collection. Created as a mix but all tunes available for your own persy armouries, as always with the 'Welcome To The Jungle' series, we're treated to sounds and styles across the entire dnb spectrum. Expected everything ranging from Benny's own bubblers to more dancefloor styles such as Blaine Stranger's 'Dragon' and Octo-Pi's 'This Sound' via rugged jump-up uppercuts such as Lockerz 'The Funk', crucial jungle licks like Exposure's remix of DeJay's 'St Paul's Jammin' and pure futurism like Filip Motovunski's 'Ninja'. And this isn't even the tip of the jungle iceberg here, there's so much to digest here. Huge.

Life's Better With Disco Z Records

As the title suggests, this fantastic - and let's face it, pleasingly epic - compilation showcases some of the many disco-centric cuts in the Z Records vaults, throwing in a few exclusives (see Dave Lee's fantastic, hybrid disco-boogie rework of Firefly's 'Love is Gonna Be on Your Side') for good measure. Such is the high-quality threshold that picking stand outs is tough, but our picks of a very strong bunch include the slick, boogie-funk brilliance of Crackazat's 'Sensationalized', Larry Levan's vintage, delay-heavy synth dub of Johnny Dynell's 'Rhythm of Love', the stomping disco-house release of 'Gotta Thing (2021 Remaster)' by Foreal People, Taana Gardner and Dave Lee, and John Morales' epic rework of Sean McCabe's 'Love For Life'. As the old saying goes, this is all killer and no filler.

Toy Tonics Top Tracks Vol 9 Toy Tonics

There's much to enjoy about the ninth volume in Toy Tonics' ongoing Top Tracks series, which showcases much played, sought-after highlights from the label's rapidly growing catalogue. The standard of material on show is uniformly excellent, from the warming and organic broken dancefloor soul of Cody Currie's compilation opening 'Moves' and the sparkling piano house retro-futurism of COEO's 'I Can Never Be Yours', to the Amp Fildder-esque deep house soul of Rhode, Brown & Kosmo Kint's 'Through The Night', and the good-time, carnival-ready dancefloor sunshine of Sam Ruffilo's disco-tinged 'Es Buena'. Throw in a couple of killer cuts from jazz pianist-turned-deep house don Joel Holmes, and you have a seriously good compilation.

Bora

Birth Diynamic Music

Turkish-born, Tulum-based multi-instrumentalist Bora Uzer is known for his impressive live performances, where he sings over an assortment of electronic and acoustic instruments.⁠ Now he arrives on Diynamic with a four track EP titled Birth, which is proof of his accomplishments as a global citizen thus far. From the hypnotic and spellbinding energy of the title track, to the dark and meditative polyrhythms on "Falling" featuring his emotive vocal delivery, to the funked-up tribal ritual of "Sammaye" while the closing track "Rounds" combines pumping tech house energy with exotic arrangements.

Ramon Tapia

Future Of Mankind Drumcode

Despite boasting an existential title, veteran producer Ramon Tapia's debut on Drumcode is the opposite of introspection. The title track is a thunderous affair built on a throbbing bass and pounding kicks that support dramatic melodic sweeps. "Song of Sirens" sees Tapia go for a deeper approach and features swirling synth lines, but underpinning these musical elements are dense, tribal drums. "Screwdriver" is more typical of the Drumcode sound, as Tapia fires off bursts of white noise against the backdrop of intense bass drums, while he rounds out the EP with the soaring hooks and ghostly vocal samples of "Hold On".

Tony Touch

Sacude Vega

Second time around for NYC beat-maker Tony Touch's Latin-fired dancefloor workout 'Sacude', which first surfaced on Vega Records back in 2017. This time round it comes accompanied by a dizzying number of fresh remixes. Label boss Louie Vega leads the way, delivering a trio of low-slung, sweat-soaked Latin house takes that put heavy bass guitar and Puerto Rican percussion at the heart of the action. Manoo's suite of remixes are largely deeper and more rhythmically bouncy, with shimmering synth chords, beefy sub-bass and crisp, punchy percussion. Miami scene stalwart Oscar G (he of Murk fame) provides tougher, tech-tinged, basement-bothering revisions that are more muscular than your average powerlifter, while Tony Touch's own remix doffs a cap towards Cumbia and reggaeton.
