Review: Going for gold each and every, Danny Styles' 24 Karat family lives up to its name in a major way as its sprawling team bring treasure on treasure on treasure on this bountiful 51 track VA modern jungle trove. From well established names like Styles himself, 6Blocc, Epicentre, K-Jah and Sola to brand new talents Xian Juan, Samphet, Bren and Just Jungle, the vibe is timeless, future focused and all-encompassing as all flavours or samples and influences are hurled into the mix. From the sunny-side dancehall-flexing vibes of 'Done This' to the emotional rushes and powerful thrust of BOTB's 'All Massive', the vast expanses of contemporary jungle are explored in every possible direction here. Essential for all junglist old and new.
Review: All time original jungle label outta Caledonian Road, London, is 24 Karat, a platform that since its inception in '94 has tirelessly delivered all matter of drum and bass that over the years has morphed through hip hop, grime and trap while remaining a central port of call for UK club culture. Deep into 2020 the label presents Heavy Hitters: Volume Two - a 23-track large compilation that brings back productions from new signings Armada, DugBass, Destiny and Sasha Khan ("Soundclash") to established regulars and in-house pioneers like DJ Direkt, Keith Patience, Pablo G and label boss Danny Styles. Introducing new flavours from the freshly signed H2O and Juxt with the dreddly "Danger Dubs", other highlights include DJ Direkt & Faysha's demented "Killa" alongside the the grubby dubs and rave of Dugbass in "The Lies". It's a knockout.
Review: Keith Patience and Noise Bleed are going head to head for the first ever international clash over on 24 Karat's Gladiators series, which sees two artists go head-to-head in a format reminiscent of everyone's favourite TV show from the mid 2000s. Keith Patience is repping the UK whilst new signing Noise Bleed is at the controls for Israel, and the former goes seriously hard, blending a mix of different breaks into one furiously dynamics stretch of junglist power. Noise Bleed goes a bit more chilled out with his sample-laden rendition of the genre, with a really, really nice melodic infusion that rounds out the release in great form.
