Review: LA-based Curious goes in deep with two slamming slices of rolling jungle for HumDruma. "Holiday Cheer" comes complete with far-gazing vocals, rushed-out riffs and a heaving, sweaty riddim while "Wishin On A Star" takes a well-known vocal hook and lays it gracefully over an iced-out bed of crisp atmospheres and chop-slapping amens. Both absolutely smash it.
Review: Long standing US jungle OG Satin returns to his breakthrough HumDruma release from 2002 with a 10 strong squad of killer remixers. Serious murderation stations include the savage roughage of the do-no-wrong UK slammersmith Kumarachi, the springy skanks and big loose breakdown from I-Cue, Jaguar Paw's Urban Takeover flavoured fatness and hookiness and the ominous Digital-esque dark jungle techno slams from Close. And that's not even half of it. Murder they wrote...
Review: Humdruma Recordingz always try their best to replicate the no-holds-barred, anarchic nature of life on the 19th century, American frontier and they do so via the aggressive tones of modern D&B. This is a best-of compilation of tracks that have come out through the label and it puts that ethos on good display, featuring some seriously weighty acts like Coda and Ikon B. The former's contribution is especially potent, a gargling display of production intensity and a lesson to all budding artists out there in how to create a knockout jump-up track, its biting bass stabs teaching you all you need to know. Ikon B's tune - 'Really' - is equally as naughty but it rests on a much more potent set of drum hits, giving it an extra oomph that you can certainly hear. The others are just as good - check em.
