Footwork/Juke Juno Download

FEATURED RELEASES

Next up from the Trax Couture imprint we see Sertone land for a very enjoyable four track selection, exploring the weird and wonderful realms of electronic sound. We begin our journey through this one with a look at 'Critical', a jungle-infused creation dripping with finesse, linking together a steadily expanding synth line with choppy drum structures, before 'Just Around' arrives with a much spacier approach, unleashing quirky vocal textures into the mix at will. Next, we dive into the hardcore chord progressions and trap-like drum designs of 'LoveEgypt94' before the title track 'Spectres' brings together a stunning rhythmic display or organic drum movements and plucked melodies. Beautiful work all around on this one!

Bsn Posse

Rituals EP Defrostatica

BSN Posse makes their second appearance on Defrostatica Records releasing footwork, juke, jungle and drum & bass outta Germany after remixing ghettotech originator Detroit's Filthiest on his release back in 2018. BSN Posse do their bit in mixing it up on this EP too, turning in slower motion downtempo and dubstep in "Magic Portal" to hi-NRG electro and footwork in "Burning Shoes". Housier vibes and liquid drum and bass still in "Southern Comfort", with a deeper, trance-tipped epic number in "Rituals".

Footclan

Fuck Yall Meanbucket

As a genre and as a movement, footwork is looking incredibly healthy in 2020, with single releases such as this one from Footclan continuing to push the sound forward. Taking the title 'Fuck Yall', we witness Footclan smash together incredibly potent sub-lines with skippy drum designs and rhyhtmic textures beneath an unpredictable vocal patterns to give us a really moody party starter. The release is taken to a whole nother level by its remixes however as Space Pimp firstly reworks the original into bubbling, spacey creation, alongside Gunark's junglist revamp. Amazing work!

Addison Groove

Fred Neutron Gutterfunk

With Addison Groove being one of the most renowned names in UK dance music, his unique, clicky approach to rhythmic bliss is constantly yielding fantastic new originals. We see him land his latest album project on Gutterfunk and what a project it is. The album as a whole boasts a magnificent soundscape, from the experimental funky melodies of 'Rele Dawomey' alongside the wonderful Chouk Bwa, to the junglist switch ups of 'Dreamscape 12' and system basslines of 'Burning Spear'. There is also a touch of classic Addison throughout, through the clicky percussive blueprints of 'Bass Trips' and jukey switch ups of 'Out Of Nowhere'. We also can't get enough of the bubbly grooves of 'Brand New Drop', an inspired funky roller, personifying the organic energy of the project perfectly.

Amadeezy

Deadly Disco Poison EP Moveltraxx

As ever with the celebrated Moveltraxx imprint, we are absolutely thrilled to see what they have offered up as we dive into the latest four track collection from Amadeezy, showcasing his fantastic blend of juke and jungle themes. We kick this one off with the silky drum work and potent kicking rhythms of 'Go To Work', alongside the high energy drum processes and classic sampling of 'Let's Rock This Party'. We take a more melodic twist next as 'New Juke City' arrives with sweeping pad textures and piano chords, before we round the project up with the rapid fire kick shots and dominant sub-bass structures of the title track 'Deadly Disco Poison'. Lovely stuff.
