X-Ray Ted feat Carys Abigail
Played by: Jayl Funk
Review: X-Ray Ted delivers a heavyweight slice of funk in the form of 'Dance With Me', offering a tantalising glimpse into what his forthcoming debut album has in store. The Bristol producer has once again deftly merged the timeless allure of vintage funk with the energy of modern production. Swaggering horn hooks combine with rolling beats, guitar licks and hip-hop refrains to create the perfect musical bed for the anthemic and soul-infused vocals of fellow Bristolian Carys Abigail. It's no surprise at all that this one already has the Craig Charles seal of approval by featuring in his prestigious BBC 6 Music 'future funk tracks of 2024' show.
XRT: 'Dance With Me' is an ode to the excitement of a new relationship; putting yourself at risk for the potential of incredible reward. Those driving horns scream of promise, and the big slappy drums represent confidence and solidity of intention. As a title, 'Dance With Me' is just as much an invitation as it is a mission statement for the lead-out single of my debut album.

Review: Bombstrikes welcomes a new collaboration to the label in the form of Boydex, Swim Inc and Lickweed. While these talented artists are making their debut as a trio on the label, their reputation precedes them, having amassed a dedicated following for their eclectic blend of funk-infused rhythms and electronica. "Out There" exemplifies their collective brilliance. Seamlessly merging bluesy undertones with pulsating midtempo basslines and turntablism
Swim Inc: "Teaming up with Boydex, we set out to create something of a stompy banger, walking the fine line between organic bluesy grooves and chunky basslines. To tie the piece together, Lickweed built on those blues band vibes to deliver a guitar solo with a technical turntablist twist and turn the track into something truly out there."

Review: Next up from the ever-present Hot Cakes imprint, a vibrant remix creation that does a fantastic job of shining light onto a somewhat forgotten classic within the breaks and bass space. Enter: Mary Droppinz, a talent that knows no bounds who continues to impress the world with vibrant UKG & bass-driven creations, putting a steady pair of hands to Deekline & Freq Nasty's classic 'Every Posse & Crew' original, giving us a squelch-driven overhaul, jam-packed with naught but rave-ready goodness. Alongside this, the original track has also received a full digital remaster, making those double drops all the tastier.

Review: The Lost City Archives team have pulled together a real winner for their 10th edition of the 'Lost City Archives' series, welcoming Ash Brown with three sumptuous subby bubblers. First up, the eerie reverberations and clustered drum stutters of 'Cantankerous' weave themselves into play, focussing heavily on skittish sub sweeps and delicate percussion to match. Next, 'Star Gazing' brings us an ethereal soundscape of icey synthetics and heavily affected vocal processing, before 'Speciality' thickens the mix a bit with more traditional 2-stepping rhythms and harder hitting drum pumps to match.

Review: Next up from DJ Physical, a fiery four track display expanding across the new school realms of breakbeat, coming to us courtesy of Unknown To The Unknown. We open up with the heavily arpeggiated synthesiser lines and intense 4x4 drum slaps of 'Red Scarf', followed by a switch up in pacing as the more footwork inspired arrangements of 'Still On A Mission' give us a new combination to enjoy. From here, 'A Little Deeper' focusses on dripping percussion and hardcore low ended drum roles, followed by the spacey chord progressions and moody subs of the title track 'Midnight Marauder'.

Review: Laurent Garnier and Scan X's label does a great job in showcasing emerging and established talent, and this split release is no exception. The brilliantly named Return Of The Luddites deliver the raw electro-techno of "Scream Into The Darkness". In stark contrast, Detroit techno-inspired tracks also loom large, courtesy of Skatman's string-filled "Tribute To A Dancefloor" and Squal G's more ominous "Waiting 4U". Mirroring Garnier's own wide-ranging tastes, the release also features the call and response hip-hop/drum'n'bass crossover of Joaquim Plossu, Salem Focus and Phoebe Train's "Theory Of The Tide". Taking the tempo down, Yes Basketball's "Next" is a slowed down, bugged out beatsy track.

Review: L.F.T. makes a bold statement with his latest six-track release on Pinkman, following a string of acclaimed releases on various labels like Mannequin and Return To Disorder. With Electric Vampire, L.F.T. crafts a sonic journey aimed squarely at the dancefloor, blending tough drums and raw basslines with spectral vocals and percussive quirks. The result is a fusion of Dutch electro heritage and horror-movie soundtracks, creating a synthetic super-highway where bright lights meet solid concrete underfoot. With heavy acid electro defining the sound of other numbers like "Cattle Beast", it's straight up Vampire techno in "Asche (Vox by Nils Fock)" with reflections of a Simian Mobile Disco sound in "Demonic Toys". Gritty but classy productions all round.

Review: Aurore 404 launches into 2024 with an exciting new digital solo EP series led by French artist Disset! His inaugural 5-track EP, accompanied by a remix from Harry Wills, introduces listeners to the vivid universe of Calamero, a fictional city brought to life through Disset's melody making. With bass lines as sturdy foundations, drums reverberating through urban streets, and notes weaving together like inhabitants of this imaginary metropolis, each track offers a sonic glimpse into different facets of Calamero. Disset pulls up his retrofuturism, merging modern electronic machinery with samples of traditional instruments, tribal percussion, and ambient sounds, resulting in a a city filled with romance, nostalgia and innovation.

Review: As the matter-or-fact title makes clear, this expansive affair brings together a wealth of tracks from two of Luv Shack's most prolific and consistent artists, Jakobin and ROCTIV. The former steps up first with a trio of tracks. Of these, it's opener 'Drawan' - a deliciously trippy and mind-mangling slab of psychedelic house rich in TB-303 acid bass, fizzing electronics and ghostly chords - that most impresses, though IDM-goes-breakbeat bubbler 'Skulpt' and the deep and trippy 'Octagonal Tribe' are also excellent. ROCTIV drops four tracks, flitting between bass-heavy, acid-flecked breakbeat ('Frenezy', 'Living Art'), re-born early 90s progressive house/nu-disco fusion ('No More Room In Hell') and sub-heavy psychedelic sleaziness ('The Confidence').

Review: The team at Dirty Kitchen rave have done a great job over the recent months in uncovering and showcasing some of the most exciting new breakbeat action about, with this latest compilation being the second of their 'WE ARE DKR' series. Featuring the likes of Phrentic, Skin Teeth, Skitzoid, Zero Dark and more, we can see that this project packs a serious punch, exploring the full spectrum of modern breakbeat ideas. Our highlights that have an immediate standout would have to include Ale-DarkNoise's heavyweight 'Pump Up' arrangement, a super vibrant thunder drop, alongside the more liquefied synth work of Zero Dark's 'Losing You'.
