Aphrodite Recordings

London-based Aphrodite Recordings is all about that raw, rumbling and rugged jungle sound. The imprint has been destroying soundsystem speakers since 1992, thanks to label boss Gavin King aka DJ Aphrodite driving things forward. Aphrodite has rolled out tonnes of his own iconic releases on the label as well as involvement from artists like Bladerunner, Urban Shakedown, A-Zone and Freestylers. Sub-labels include Aladdin, Aphradan and Aphro Classics.

Aphro Classics 6
Aladdin - "Mash Up Yer Know" - (6:38) 166 BPM Hot
Velvet Seduction (So You Gotta) - (5:28) 166 BPM
Review: The don dusts off more classics. One of the most pivotal and influential men in early mid 90s drum & bass Aphrodite has drawn from his various eras and styles for another 'Aphro Classics' collection. Kicking off with his famous Aladdin track which was featured on the 'AWOL' Ministry Of Sound album, he then puts us through our paces over his elastic jump-up vibes ('Cool Rock Stuff'), his bully boy beats/basslines ('Beefcake') and his more digital-styled fusions like 'War Of The Worlds' and 'Sometimes'. Aphrodite - we salute you!

Review: And still the classics keep coming... Jungle jump up don Aphrodite brings another clutch of early 90s crucials back to life. All harvest from the earliest - and hugely fertile - pastures his career, cuts such as the bubbling bass and diced breaks of "Bass Lights", the running drums and ambient pads of "Sea Mortar", the ravey escapades of "Beautiful Bass" and the psychedelic chirps and whistles of "Fascination" still sound as future today as they did back in 93-96. All digitised for the first time and complete with a few versions that have never before been released, it's another killer flashback from the Urban Takeover king. High five!

Aphro Classics 4
Amazon II - "Beat Booyaa !" (feat DJ Aphrodite - remix) - (6:01) 162 BPM Hot
Review: Pure Aphro funk, don daddy Aphrodite digs deep into the vaults once again for the fourth instalment in his Classics series. One of the key producers behind the original jump-up sound in the mid 90s, the album opens with the iconic sounds of "Spice" where smooth jazz gets the blunderbuss by bouncy bass before taking us through his synthetic space-aged bass era ("Karma Sutra"), his early 90s jungle era (most notably the savage breaks of his Amazon II project) and walloping us with cult party classics along the way ("Underworld", "Bomber Style") He's not called king of the beats for nothing.

Bomber - (6:44) 168 BPM
I Wanted It More And More (feat Gail Mclean) - (5:49) 168 BPM
Review: Historical vibes in the area: the don Aphrodite returns with more classics and previously unavailable dubs from his 25 year deep vaults. Exclusives include a rasping, digital sizzling take on 1999's "Spice" and a much-sought after VIP of 1994's "Ganja Man". Elsewhere there's the electric shock acid ripples of the squat party style "Acid Junky" (from 2000), the immense jazzy drum swing, breath-taking pads and killer drop of 1995's "Bomber", the heads-down Virus-style neuro of "Lava Flow" and the piano-tinkling, skin-rippler of "I Wanted It More And More". Each cut still flexing timeless elements, Aphro reminds us how deep his roots are and how well his tracks stand the test of time.

Aphro Classics 1
Shine - (6:43) 164 BPM
Review: Sweet lord junglist Jesus, Aphrodite lets rip with a history lesson and we'd all be wise to pay attention. Ranging back to 1994 with the lighter-thrusting, rush-busting "Shine" the Aphro man takes us on a wild trip through 20+ years of D&B; "Style From The Darkside" is quintessential Urban Shakedown jump-up while "We Wanna Be Free" and "Criss Cross" mark the more electronic, rockier dynamics of the mid-2000s. Finally "Twilight" is a straight-up riot jam, all scratchy and nasty with late 90s Moving Fusion style rolling brutality. Five lines of uncut primo D&B business here.
