Birmingham-based Eternal Muzic Records has been kicking up dust since 2011 with its jump up and roller-charged records and UK-based events. With Luke Harris aka Chunky Bizzle at the helm, Eternal Muzic has equipped drum and bass heads with banger after banger. Artists to release tracks on Eternal include Jayline, Jando, Vital, Dub Justice, Lyptikal, Total Recall, Sativa Dub, Macky Gee, Tomoyoshi and others.
Review: Something for the weekend, something for your mum, something for your 'Set List'... Whoever you're treating in the near future, treat them with Neman. 'Set List' brings all the bonus firepower you'd need for any type of treatment scenario. Generous, exciting and full of energy. 'You Lose' meanwhile sees Jay Jay join the mission with more disco dynamite. With a full English greasy groove and a bassline grottier than a night down a funfair, how could you possibly lose? Everyone is a winner.
Review: Last spotted on Eternal Muzic waving round his 'Big Gun' in an uncompromised and somewhat rambunctious manner, Froidy now returns with more hysterical behaviour. As always with this young talent, the focus is on the energy and that unapologetic tear-up sound. Grotty, vicious and so much fun to mix; highlights include the utterly outrageous croaks and grizzles of 'In Your Head' and the superb scattiness of the lazer-blasting bust-ups like 'Intuition' (with fellow young talent Doinkgod) and the wild levels of unpredictable venom on 'Restless' (with D-Flex) Go crazy.
Review: Beat down, beat up, beat this... 'Beat That', it's time for a brand new link up between Niterider and Chunky Bizzle as the pair lay down four solid bruisers on Eternal Muzic. The title track hits with a grizzling, big drill groove and a glistening guitar breakdown before we plunge into more and more twisted funk. The beautifully titled 'Bacon Interceptors' gets its wriggle on, 'Chupacabra' get the VIP twist while 'Sling It' ends the EP on a delicate-yet-bouncy vibe. You can beat it.
Review: Incite the ride! Young Salisbury jump-up peddler Incite returns to Eternal with his biggest EP to date. A timeless trove of bouncy, infectious dancefloor jams, each cut is aimed for raving pleasure nothing more, nothing less. Key cuts include the rough switch-ups of 'Dynamite', the rushy arpeggio and high-pitch barking bass of 'Whispers' and the dark soul swagger of the title track. The VIP of 'Somebody' isn't without serious charm either. Shine on you gully diamond.
Review: Cor blimey guvnor, Dreadnaught's had his Shreddies for breakfast today. Coming on strong like a young Original Sin, 'Power' is by far one of the Sub-liminal artist's most chop-walloping releases to date. Big breakbeat fills with Reeses so big they could carpet bomb the whole of Milton Keynes then a weird, twisted riff on the drop (and a killer sample), this is high grade weaponry right here. 'Tuned' continues the early 2000s vibe with its ruffian bassline and unkempt form before suddenly dropping into a massive rap breakbown. Badness!
Review: Inspirational scenes as Inspire returns to Eternal Muzic with another brace of high impact dancefloor D&B. The energy is evident from the off as 'Make Hits' bounces away with an early Tyke bassline and a classic Jamaican spoken word sample. The EP continues to flourish as '6 Million' rolls out with a cool T>I style groove thanks to some great spacious rattle-snare drums and 'Baby' blasts off with a sensual vocal and euphoric rising chords. Last but not least 'Relax' winds us up with a naggy bassline before dropping us into a beautiful relaxing pads on the breakdown. A very promising EP. Make hits, not war.
Review: Niterider coming in with the wholesome lifestyle advice and telling us all to treat ourselves to nice bit of self care. It starts right here with these powerful vibes that span the entire spectrum from the dubby horns and warm tones of 'Cultured' to the bubble jungle-style subs and ravey keys of 'Fire Burns'. Elsewhere we have treats like the gritty revving filth of 'Henry's Panto' the brilliantly titled (and ultra-funky) 'Watermelon Biscuits' and the total dark euphoria of the title track. Massive. Take care.
Review: He shoots he scores! Froidy comes charging into range on Eternal Muzic and he's firing off a whole barrage of bullets. The first two cuts see him linking up with friends... 'Big Gun' (with Cuvurs) sets the tone and violent focus of grooves on the EP while 'Coordinates' (with Shifu) is a rattling bag of rusty glitches, bleeps and grunts. Deeper into the EP we hit more gold from the Froidster such as the high energy flattener 'Yeti' and the pranged-out squeaker 'Scatter'. Shots fired!
Review: Niterider and Chunky Bizzle team up once again and dedicate an EP to your dear old lady... 'Battle Axe Warriors' pays homage to the veterans of the game with the bubbliest bassline this side of the Irn Bru factory. It's backed by plenty more dark matter murkery - 'Blessings' ping-pongs back and forth with mischief, 'Bed Rocking' does the hubba-hubba heave-ho with moments of emotional R&B sultriness while 'Too Attached' balances soft focus emotions with raw sandpaper funk. Finally 'Invitation' takes things future-style with its sleek, warped bassline twists. You coming or what?
Review: Newcomer Adz makes his debut on Eternal Muzic with four very springy jump-up bubblers, all riffy and full of wonky, grotty energy. 'Asylum' brings in ravey elements and a demonic down-pitched vocal, 'Strange Thoughts' is a tightly coiled weird-out while 'Dangerous Killer' goes all mournful in its bass textures while 'All Lies' is just total high-freq bassline mischief. And that's the truth.
Review: Riding in, right on time, Dub Justice smashes his gabble down and declares freedom for all with these positive 'Vibrations'. Bubblesome funk with a jump-up edge, across the four tracks we're treated to all the essential party elements; classic well-known vocals ('Vibrations'), cheeky two-note bass riffage that stays in your head for days on end ('Chess') bouncy playfulness that's a dream to mix and chop ('Bad') and a homage to one of the most important characters in 80s kids TV: 'B A Baracus'. Did your mamma raise a fool?
Review: Original Raving Crew bossman Inspire lets rip with one of his biggest releases to date - 'Body & Soul'. Coming at us on Eternal Muzic and flexing the full range of what he's known for, it's a huge collection that spans from old school hardcore and early jungle feels on tracks like 'Leave Me' to classic late 2000s riffy jump-up like 'New Beginnings'. Elsewhere we have riot-inducing tear-ups like 'Real Music' and feel-good bumpers like the title track. Inspirational.
Review: As if their walloping '5 Seconds' EP wasn't quite enough bangerage to keep us lively as we move into spring, along come Niterider and Chunky Bizzle with another epic hamper of heaviness. 'Pure Problems' hits with a decaying metallic harmonic bass and manipulated vox sample, setting the scene and parameters for the rest of the EP. Highlights include sweet skanks and disgusting drop of 'Rudeboi Selector' and the shimmy shimmy soul of the intro and breakdown of 'I Got It'. We got 99 problems but this EP ain't one.
Review: Heavyweight bruisers only: Niterider and Chunky Bizzle collide for four disgusting tear-ups on Eternal Muzic. '5 Seconds' takes the lead with a Belgian style high frequency question and a guttural, swampy answer style riff. Pure dark funk, it's in good company: 'Murder Charge' brings a little system-shaking heat with its short flexing reggae vocal and epic wobbly subs, 'One More Time' is a real rasping, aggy cut that's not dissimilar to the jump-up sounds of the early 2000s before 'Wheel It' shuts down the EP on a totally scatty one. Off the wall flavours.
Review: Stop the party... It sounds like phrase that should have been said at certain shindigs certain UK politicians were hosting over the last few lockdowny years but it's actually a sample in this floor-burner from rising young rave blazer Skudkid. It's backed by three more murky missives: 'Whoa!' lives up to its name with its offkey harmonic turbine blast bass notes, 'Zombies Of Nairobi' is funky enough to wake the dead with its minimal funk and big oozy, woozy bassline and 'Contract Killer' is pure sniper material thanks to its epic high voltage bassline. Party on dudes, said a certain leader to his certain cronies.
Review: Beats to polish those pearly whites to; Niteride chomps down with another fresh set to sign out 2021. 'Toothless' is built around a brilliantly absurd spoken sample, a gutter-slurping bassline and a dreamy breakdown. Elsewhere 'Dance Program' gets all trippy with the foggy bass groans and interesting harmonics before 'Wet Rizzla' soundtracks everyone's worst nightmare... A soggy last paper! Finally 'Sociopath' shuts down the EP with an eruption of finger clicks, sheet metal harmonies and more switches than a power station. Grin when you're winning.
Review: Following releases on Breeze and Dutty Bass, Wrekka returns to Eternal with 'Enemy', a grumbly slab of stepperism that's laced with a classic horror film arpeggio. More magic follows as 'Hocus Pocus' creeps up behind and casts spells with its minimal make-up and maximal tension. 'Hold Me' brings a little tension into the mix with its high freq synth line and ghostly vocal texture while 'Living Dead' finishes the EP with brazen bass bumps that drip like slime over the kicks. Keep this 'Enemy' close.
Review: Sub-liminal bossman Agro makes a rare appearance on Eternal with two brazen bruisers. 'Manmouth' gets all choppsy from the off with its futuristic bass purrs and heavyweight kickdrums while 'Big Smoke' celebrates the artist's recent move to London with trippy elements, a bassline made of pure slime and some subtle but very clever drum edits. High grade as always from the south coast soldier.
Review: Chunky Bizzle's Eternal Muzic is back this week with a killer release. This Birmingham-based label presents Hypnotic by Alphaze, hot off releases for the likes of Jumped Up, Subway Soundz and Shadow Demon. He teams up with Sinu8 on the deep techstep of the title track, going into some jump-up on "In My Mind", serving up some twisted neurofunk on "STFU" and giving up one more with Sinu8 on the grinding and wonky beats of "London".
Review: Sup sup! Niterider's back on Eternal Muzic and he's pouring direct into the chalices for us all to drink direct. The title track calls out the green fingered massive with its big bass elements before we get deeper and heavier; 'The Void' is a powerfully bendy and warped cut that's the sonic equivalent of drinking a pint of undiluted squash, 'Ethos' is like drinking neat gin when thought it was water... Fiery and powerful enough to change the whole course of your day. Finally 'Big Facts' goes straight to the head like an ice cold coke guzzled too quickly on a very hot day. Fizzy, refreshing, ready for action.
Review: It is a big week for Bournemouth-based DJ/producer Daniel Peters aka Vital, who in addition to a wicked EP for Bulletproof Records also surfaces on the ever reliable Eternal Muzic with this killer six track EP. Ram Jam features some serious jump-up throwdowns such as "Against Us" and "Catastrophic" which are sure to get the lighters in the air, while the smooth liquid drum and bass vibe soon leads to business as usual on the energetic "Non Stop" and ending with one more expression in rolling drama on "Opportunity".
Review: Hot on the heels of a whole slew of free downloads, Incite goes legit with this Eternal Muzic debut. Packing four back-to-basics bassline style jams, all perfect for MCs to do the damage, each cut on the 'Panda Style' EP goes claws deep with a simple riff and swaggering beats. Highlights include the eastern break out on 'Lean & Bop' and the sinister bassline zappage on 'The Grot'. Bear vibes.
Review: Fresh from appearances on the likes of Grid, Brawlin', Invicta, Four Corners and Pick The Lot D-Flex arrives on Eternal with four feisty cuts. 'Wah Gawrn' takes the lead with a venom MC line before dropping into a rasping harmonic you'll be humming all the way around Asdas, 'Mic Check' follows with a little more bounce and off-beat wriggle before 'Too Bad' brings the heat with an absolutely storming bassline that rises and twists skyward with hype and heaviness. Last but not least 'Oh No I Won't' closes with some curmudgeonly gruff bassline grizzles. Killer EP.
Review: Following up some great EPs by the likes of Runnah, Silvz and Decrypt, ever reliable Birmingham label Eternal Muzic returns this week with a new release by label regular Chris Lovell aka Krusty from Bristol, who follows up the well received Breaking Barriers LP from a couple of months back. The energetic jump-up style you have come to know from the producer is on full display on "Lose Control" complete with hip-hop vocals that accompany the vibe perfectly. This is followed by the tough rolling steppa "Waiting" on which more wonky sub basslines and pitched down r'n'b vocals await.
Review: Once again proving this game ain't a sprint, Runnah maintains his momentum with four more long distance sessions. 'Business As Usual' twists your gunfingers to starter pistol fingers as we skank up the track to warm up before 'Jungle Riddim' takes us the whole nine yards with its Original Sin style weight and insistency. 'Take Control' has us doing the hurdles with its bouncy bassline and Lauren Rose's gliding vocals before 'Bamboo' (with Chunky Bizzle) takes us over the finish line with an epic flourish. Clipped, twisted and genuinely unique, there's some great jump-up sportsmanship at play here. Do the lap of honour.
Review: Birmingham's hard charging drum and bass label Eternal Muzic gives rise to the new sounds of Bristol dweller Silvz. With very much forward leaning grooves, Silvz delivers a convoy of streamlined, liquid-esque and jump up beats - take the sweet horn loops in "Stash N' Steal" for example next to the pitched down bellows and massive drops in the EP's title-track "Fireproof". "Hit 'N' Run" strips it back somehow while maintaining a sinister knees up vibe, while "Neverland" collides '90s RnB vocals with classic tear-out beats alongside the twisted metal melodies and snapping snares of "Headtop". Classic Eternalizms.
