Review: What a combo we have here as Doctor Jeep makes his appearance on Hardcore Energy with four dizzying creations, exploring the most creative rhythmic arrangements. First up, some slapping breaksy magic on the VIP mix of 'Vault Of Glass', a sumptuous combination of metallic bass design and crunchy drum work, followed by the 'Hardcore Mix' of 'Dissociate', a certified dive into the history of breakbeat with some gorgeous percussive processing at the forefront. From here, the VIP of 'Laff Trak' is unleashed, once again doused in gorgeous junglist energy and smooth bassline action, before Cirrus joins us for a wavy finale in 'No Water', a reese-driven warble through swampy atmospherics to close off this EP with some serious heat!

Review: Since breaking out into the UKG scene, we have watched Smokey Bubblin' B develop into a real fan favourite, however, this latest drop sees him spread his wings a little further, exploring a vicious collection of hardcore jungle originals, perfectly in time for festival season. We open up with 'Summer Of Luv', a thumping throwback laced with nostalgic piano chords and choppy jungle breaks, laced together with looping vocal slices for even more old school flavour. This is then chased up by the more digital chord structures of 'Gone Fantazia', another super choppy thrill ride, this time topped with shimmering organs for good measure. We then slide into the super scattered drum textures of 'Nova', one final throw of the dice to round off the EP in style!

Review: It's always good to see new music from the nostalgia inducing sounds of Hardcore Energy, who this time invite the wonderful MKII inside for a dazzling display of original breakbeat flavour. We open up with the pure euphoria of 'This Is', a piano-lead piece of sonic mastery, taking rave-ready vocal lines and grin-inducing key melodies to bring the house down in any dance. The other original takes the title 'Can't You See' and takes a slightly more stripped back approach, but is again pushed forward by a fantastic rave piano lead, evoking memories of many of a dancefloor in all of us. Both of these originals have been given a tasty remix, with Samurai Breaks firstly upping the tempo on 'This Is' for a gorgeous twist up, followed by Agora's heavyweight, jungle-inspired acidic journey through 'Can't See You'. This is a wicked collection to say the very least!

Review: The Hardcore Energy team have delivered a powerful drop with this one, welcoming the fiery sounds of LSN to the table with a crunchy collection of six breaks-driven bangers. We begin with the the jittering acidic whirlpool that is 'Sometimes I Take Acid', which sees both Sharpson & Wax White join the party for a party-starting epic, followed by 'Softscape' a sublow bubbler, ready to bust any soundsystem wide open. From here, the slower drum slides of 'Don't Hesitate' arrive for a more emotional switch, followed closely by 'Infinity Pool' another euphoric eruption that sees 9TRANE join the party for another silky switchup. Finally, two additional belters, with 'The Unknown' firstly leading the way for a much organic, drum-driven design, followed by 'Rush Hour', which utilises glistening pads and catchy vocal overlays for a fiery finale!

Review: It's time to get down and groovy with some original breakbeat mastery here as Origin8a & Prospa touch down with four exciting originals on the Hardcore Energy imprint, perfect for setting the dance alive. We begin with the nostalgic brilliance of the title track 'Friction', stuffed to the brim with nostalgic stabs and rolling vocal slices, followed by the groovy twists and turns of 'The Theme' which is sure to bring the house down. Next up, 'Turn Me Out' looms into play with some hard hitting original breakbeat flavour across euphoric keys and more vocal precision. Finally, the pace quickens significantly across the junglist plains of 'Blow Your Mind'.

Review: As the breakbeat sound continues to gain a new 2022 momentum and dancefloors around the country embrace the roots of modern drum & bass more openly, labels like Hardcore Energy are doing a fantastic job of flying that original flag. This time around they welcome Local Group for two storming originals, kicking off with the gnarly reese textures and frankly mind-numbing breaksy drum arrangements of 'Stand Up'. which when topped with those nostalgic vocal layers and loosened LFO pulses, give us nothing but a good time. On the flip, a more relaxed b-side as 'Rippin Up Stones' plays on the themes of shimmering chord delays and hard hitting subs below, to provide another very cool alternative. Lovely stuff!

Review: Next up from Ac1d Vicious, a playful three track collection, exploring the more acidic side of breakbeat culture, delivering a set of unique, yet potent originals. We begin with the constantly alternating backdrops and blippy textures of 'Salt', a truly unpredictable piece of magic, dipped in acid-house synths, industrial sounding glitches and nostalgic pad textures for good measure. From here, 'Fat' drives down a much more hardcore influenced avenue, with booming synthesizer sizzles leading the way atop a computerized backdrop. Finally, 'Acid Heater' takes us back to the raves of the early 90's, with throwback chord melodies playing a lead role, sitting gracefully above high intensity breaks and a seriously glitchy set of everything else you could wish for. Beautiful work!

Review: It's time to dive into some delicious new breakbeat creations as Samurai Breaks land on Hardcore Energy for a very exciting four track selection, showcasing their breaksy brilliance. We kick off with the sounds of 'Putting In Werk', a smart roller, dripping in finesse and original breakbeat energy, followed by the more futuristic tripletted pulses of 'Rush'. Next, we move into the nostalgic realms of 'Bad Boy Beats', a super choppy, party ready rinse out, followed by 'Power Hour' as Private Caller gets involved on the perfect sign out track, laced with high energy drum manoeuvres and booming bass tones.

Review: Once again the Hardcore Energy team have delivered a certified spicebox here as the wonderful Eddie Craig returns for a vibrant two-track display. We open up with the euphoria-inducing vocal displays from Rion S and system-rattling basslines of 'Promised Land', linking together nostalgic breakbeat expressions, rave-ready chord progressions and a vibrant bassline to match. Eddie then switches the pace up dramatically as the more moog-driven synthesizer drives of 'Level' are unleashed to give us a more stripped back but just as hard-hitting b-side, doused in hardcore chord melodies and sharp drum processing.

Review: Next up from Hardcore Energy we welcome back the wonderful sounds of Acen, who returns to pay homage to 'Play 2092', a hard hitting creation that has here been re-purposed with three shimmering remix creations. The first comes to us from Danny Styles, who reworks the track into a maze of junglist drums and sizzling sublines, before we jump into the super emotive harmonic structures of the Liquid remix. Finally, Alk-e-d & Beeno give the original a major chop-heavy overhaul, slicing up the drums to create something truly magnificent.

Review: What we're gonna do right here is go back. Electrohouse, bass music and glitch veteran Herve has clearly been in something of a nostalgic mood, as here he brings us a cover of Blue Pearl's 1990 rave classic that's remarkably faithful to the original, simply adding a little extra 303 squelch at the bottom end. And the retro vibes don't end there: the EP's other two cuts are similarly likely to induce misty-eyed reminiscence in ravers of a certain age, replete as they are with Belgian techno stabs, buzz basslines, chopped-up diva vox and timestretched breakbeats. Top one matey!

Review: No mucking about Hardcore Energy. No nonsense breaks, hardcore and jungle. MKII in full effect! With basslines resonating here as much as pianos, tracks in this M1 EP are shrouded in hall reverbs and supreme compression to bring you the best in hardcore bliss. "Energy '92" kicks things off straight up with classic amen breaks that eventually succumb to breathy atmospheres and mellow chords, with stripped back jungle receiving the same treatment in "Make Me Feel" - while it's breaks and '90s free rave in "The Power", to trance and hip-house in "One".

Review: The Hardcore Energy team have assembled a very cool collection of dancefloor ready weapons here as they invite the sounds of Borai inside for a heavily sampled display of breaks-inspired marvelousness. We open up with the old school vocal repetitions and chunky breakbeat drum lines of 'Lets Jet Out', which through a subtle, reesey bass pulsation below, really gets the party started. From here, the dizzying shaker lines and moogy pulses of 'Get On Down' give us a more airy arrangement, giving us a nice sense of contrast, before 'Call Me' sends us straight back to the underground with an unorthodox showcasing of old school synthesizer bleeps, soulful vocal drives and sharpened breakbeat drums for good measure. Lovely work!

Review: It's always exciting to see a new drop from MKII, one of the most consistent new school breaks artists to emerge, once again delivering his delightful fusion of high energy drums and retro soundscaping. We open up this new collection with the nostalgia-inducing chord progressions of 'Come In', a throwback thumper, followed by both the dizzying synth pads of 'Here 4 U' and rave-inspiring organ chords of 'The Launch'. The party has well and truly commenced at this point, with the old school piano leads and euphoric vocal mashups of the title track 'Let It Roll' upping the pace once more, followed by 'Give It All' which follows a similar brand of sonic overload, before 'Tango' sees the project come to a close with a much more unorthodox approach, stacking moogy bass clunks and scratch heavy drum breaks. Exceptional work as per!
