Review: Strictly for heads who like their jungle messy and their breaks smashed into oblivion, Feyder brings ragga screaming into 2014 with a twisted take on his own visions of the junglist scene with a touch of breakcore thrown into the mix. "Unity" heads up the release with sirens blaring but it's not long before the toned-down hip-hop stylings of "Melting Pot" show his true colours - he's messing with you. "Nuh Follow Me" shows his darker side and drags it forward with rapidfire lyrics and fuzzed-up hardcore pads and breaks. "Ganja Man" rounds up the release with bright dancehall touches that, despite initial appearances, stick around coherently much to even Feyder's surprise. It takes a brave man to take on a scene so intensely followed but he's got enough style to pull it off. Keep on his tail, things can only get messier.
Review: Russian jungle. We know what you're thinking - the largest, coldest country in the world offers some truly sterling dark drum & bass efforts to the table, in fact some of the scene's most heavy duty producers are from the darker reaches of Eastern Europe, but jungle has never found it easy to flourish. Of course behind every scene is a mouthpiece and Mashed Youths Records represent the hugely under-represented masses in this very region who live, sleep and breathe breakbeats. Featuring newcomers to the scene like Igit, Ekzo, Se and Smokah, this LP shows that jungle is alive and well way beyond the Balkans. Salute.
