Review: The unstoppable Nuusic crew take time to look back over the last few years of releases and put together this massive 30 track collection of the finest jungle jams they've blessed the world with to date. Featuring the likes of DJ Hybrid, Conrad Subs, Speaker Louis, Kumo, Sl8r, Kumarachi, Veak, Teej and many more, the vibes range from deep space shock-outs ('Back To Me') to peak time bubblers ('Duppy') to all-out breakbeat frenzies ('Jungle Mania') and all fire flavours in between. Essential for all junglists.
Review: Boh! A banger, a Nuusic Banger. Vibes, a drop of a gully, son! Nuusic bring the sounds once again with this fourth edition of their VA series. Loaded with exclusives and new remixes and VIPs, it brings the whole Liverpool / North Wales label's family together, highlighting the wide-armed provocative consistency throughout the album. Highlights include ELLM's Danny Byrd style VIP twist-up of 'Soundboy', Arkala Dre's slinky prowler 'Pirate Radio', Epicentre and Guzi's devastatingly huge and ironically titled 'Little Roller', the creepy tension and eerie feels of Geekcroft's 'Turn It'. The list goes on and on...
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: Part two of the Nuusic anniversary celebration, and the halfway point is just as good as the first instalment. It's more of the label's most standout tracks from the last three years, and Conrad Subs' 'Little Vibey Thing' is right up there with the best of them, a swing-heavy vocal-led jungle number that's formed of swelling bass touches, crunchy drum lines and a nonchalant gem of a vocal, one that's halfway between hip-hop and soul. Margaman's 'Teach The Roots' is a masterclass in simple vibes, with a clean percussive centre and edges that wallow in bassy reggae, all of which is deliciously built into a crescendo with a superb build-up. Proper dancefloor stuff.
Review: Hot on the heels of the label's massive 'Sound Of Nuusic' release, the Manchester-based label continues to shine the spotlight on exciting new-gen talent. Talent like Ellm who seems to have come out of nowhere and is already packing premium productions. This debut D&B EP covers the board in style - growling junglism ('Draw Out'), space-age bassline funk ('The Breakdown'), double bass funking badness ('Soundboy') and piano-tickled dubwise euphoria ('Parallax') With skills like these on such an early release we anticipate big things from this young artist. Avoid having a nightmare on Ellm's heat... Do not sleep on this!
