36 Hertz recordings - purveyors in fine bassline exploration in and around the Hardcore, Jungle and DNB scenes. Established in 2009 by DJ Vapour to release the best in undergound music and to showcase up and coming artists. Specialists in hearing damage and earthshaking basslines.
Review: All five instalments of the 36 Hertz 100th release celebrations in one sick and savage place... DJ Vapour has put together something super special here that reflects every aspect, ingredient and flavour of his label. Vibes fly across the jungle spectrum from the likes of French OG Le Lutin's hardcore heavyweight 'Da Ruckusssss' to floatier, more contemporary cuts like Physics' 'Children Of The Night'. Elsewhere we're pummelled into submission by the breaks on Filibration's The Real Door', we're hurled deep down the jungle rabbit hole on cuts like ShupAs' 'Come Selecta' and our heads are torn straight off by the bossman Vapour on cuts like the opener 'How We Used To'. Cool and deadly business; here's to the next 100 releases.
Review: DJ Vapour's 36 Hertz continue their 100th release celebrations with more frontline freshness. Upkeeping the label's reputation for savage sonics and dark, dangerous dynamics, each of these three cuts cover a different side of the badboy spectrum: ShupAs strikes first with a contemporary D&B flavour with 'Come Selecta'. Think 'Trex goes wild in a shopping centre with a chainsaw' and you get the flavour. Veteran Opius goes absolutely scatty on the breaks in the most wonderful and chaotic way possible on 'Just Keep Moving' while Finnish vibe maestro Physics brings a little barbed tension with 'Children Of The Night'. Serious hurters from the Hertz crew.
Review: BAM! Right in the kisser: DJ Vapour's 36 Hertz hit us hard with the first part of their 100th release celebrations. Three tracks, three absolute riots, Vapour takes the lead with 'How We Used To' by way of some outrageously brutal breaks and tense, pensive pads. He's backed by label longtimers Luke B and SR & Digbee. Luke strips back the drum muscle and brings the synths to the fore along with an epic hurricane Virus style bassline while SR and Digbee close on another apocalyptic amen blow out. Bring on the next samplers - this whole release run is going to be immense!
Review: Luke B has developed a bit of a reputation over the past couple of years for his approach to making a diverse range of sounds that are bloody insane but also sophisticated and raw. He never holds back and this release on 36 Hertz Recordings is definitely not close to being more restrained, with the producer experimenting with across several different styles and textures. 'Way Back' is interesting, with hypnotic stabs making up the main arrangement in a stripped back roller. Check these out to hear something properly wicked.
Review: A 36 Hertz family member since 2014, UK producer Indigo Virus continues to channel that icy, stripped-back 93/94 vibe with his latest four-piece collection. Instantly from those Moving Shadow / early Headz pads of the title track, you know you're in for a fully body workout. The breaks swing and slap across each track with the tribal rattles and snaps of 'Flyby' and the finger-clicking switches of 'Exploding Fist' especially of note. Complete with the hurricane soul of 'This Island Universe', it's another timeless trove from man like IV.
