Review: 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.
Review: This various artists release from Born on Road is packed full of twisted sounds for you wrap your noggins around, and there's a sick blend of aesthetics and styles amongst all the filth. 'Turbulent Times' by Gray and Rider Shafique is wobbly and rolling, it packs all of its energy into the sub-bass and just flows out with style alongside some wicked MC work. 'Pieces of Eight' by Trex is a monstrosity of energy, with a superb drum section that packs more character into the arrangement than you can wag a finger at, whilst Bruk edges in over the top with 'Waps', showing what a hefty dose of technoid energy can bring to the beat. Big.
Review: Following massive dispatches on Born On Road, DNB Allstars and Incurzion, rising star Alcemist touches down at Biological Beats, an imprint renowned for supporting the most exciting new-gen artists. Artists like Alcemist who lays down two fat slabs of futurism for Fatman D's imprint; 'Visions' is a raw and warm rolling rough-about. Scuffy harmonics and ever-twisted melodic layers ensure something different hits you every time while the breaks guarantee forward motion. 'Attention' takes a deeper twist. Still raw and bumpy but charmed with dreamy vocal and hazy far-away vibes, it's another prime example of Alcemist's future-focused potential.
