Review: Dance Concept donnies Benny and K link-up with legendary vocalist Deemas J on Jungle Cakes once again for "Jungle Rebel". Two versions, one authentic strain of classic UK soundsystem damage; Benny and K's original bumps with just the right amount of light and shade to fit in any sets from soulful and deep to something much heavier and techier while Jungle Cakes co-bossman Ed Solo brings much more of a classic wobble to the mix. Stripped-back and deadly, it's impossible not to skank to this.
Review: This single from Benny V and K-Warren is a potent demonstration of drum & bass finesse across two tracks, both of which are rolling and both of which combine solid foundations in the percussion with wobbling movement in the low frequencies. 'Touch It' is the lighter of the pair, with a fluttering main piano lead that floats above the arrangement with serious grace, whilst 'Supernova' is bigger, broader and more rambunctious in its attempt to mess you up. Awesome.
Review: OG soldiers Benny V and K-Warren on Deekline and Ed Solo's Jungle Cakes? Oh our collective gosh! Premium party business wrapped around a very well-known sample source, there's a twist in the "Apache Scat" tale... While it's usually the apache break that everyone utilises in their tracks, this one uses the full horn-blazing, guitar-twanging hook and couples it with some beautiful rapid-fire lyrical lava from Deemas J. Loaded with a heavier, driving remix from bossman Deekline, this one reaches out to the full crew and beyond.
Review: Just in case you ever doubted Dance Concept / Souped Up bossman Benny V and main co-conspirator K-Warren's jungle credentials (shame on you if you did) then here's an incredible version session with three massive vocal collaborations over one killer riddim on the seriously on-point Jungle Cakes. The track itself is pure power laced with subversion as we're lured into a false sense of dubby bubblesome funk security before a toxic chainsaw bassline cuts through the mix and most of our senses... But let's be real; this is all about the features as some of the most distinctive voices in the genre join the party. Ragga Twins add their turbo back and forths in the way only they know how. Real talk, real jungle, "Real Junglists".
Review: Dance Concept's Benny V tags in with K Warren once again, this time on sprightly liquid imprint Patrol The Skies. "You Know Me" hits the soul with sweet falsettos and a vibey staccato funk that's not dissimilar to a young Danny Byrd while "Open Your Eyes" takes us back to a sweet spot in the mid 2000s where the liquid tasted the most thirst quenching in its most chunky, cosmic forms. Both cuts hit the heart in the warmest possible way.
Review: Push it higher! Scene OG Benny V tags up with k Warren for this heavyweight, party-pulverising EP. The heat so tangible you can genuinely feel it, "Feel The Fire" hits with a slew of lively stabs, a scorching vocal, a gully switch midway and a perfect refix by King-of-the-moment Bladerunner. Elsewhere "How Ya Feelin'" busses up with an infectious, not to mention venomous bass riff while Erbman & Verdikt get all slinky and wobbly on the remix. Pure fire.
Review: Way back in 1999 Dance Concept starting promoting parties across the UK and it wasn't long before the brand became an imprint and began releasing tracks from some the scenes biggest names. Benny V & Warren K's 'No Evil' is the perfect track to showcase the labels ethos of no nonsense up front dnb, fast paced, high energy neuro twists, mutating itself through some classic sounds and a tongue in cheek vox. 'Alien Embryo', while sticking in the neuro box, has a harder edge and a 'Dead Limit' feel, as if you're revving up an uncontrollable super bike, the track builds crazy amounts of momentum and just doesn't give up.
