Review: When Guns N Roses welcomed everyone to the jungle all those years ago they promised fun and games. That's fine and dandy but these days a jungle welcoming requires a little more substance... Like stacks of crucial forefront D&B jungle tracks and a vibe that feels like you've spent 3 days straight raving at the Roller Express. And this crew of new-gen heroes - Toby Ross, 4K, Oram and Rise - are the guys to deliver those stacks. Like all previous Jungle Cakes Welcome To The Jungle mix compilations, the selection is diverse and covers all shades and styles from unreleased gold to undisputed classics. All the tracks are available in their full length glory and there's a mix to boot. Trust us, no one is doing it like Jungle Cakes right now. And no one is doing it like Toby Ross, 4K, Oram and Rise too for that matter. One of the best editions so far!
Review: Jungle Cakes always tend to put out music that rests on the foundations of UK underground, the cross-over influences of soul, reggae, jungle and D&B. it's always a fresh sound and it always brings up connotations of Boomtown, free parties and sunny afternoons. This is a monster album curated by Aries and Kelvin 373, who have taken tracks both old and new to form a banging compilation. Bou nails it on 'Music Takes Me Higher', a rustic revisit to classic jungle sounds; Aries and Nicky Blackmarket roll things out in a tight way on 'Champion'; and Chimpo slams the brakes on 'DidDieDoThat'. We don't know the answer to that, but we do know this is fat. Big ups.
Review: Can we get a 'wicked?' Jungle Cakes continue to team up with some of the biggest donnies in the game with this latest Welcome To The Jungle collection. This time curated and fronted by the General himself, as you'd expect this is a full-on jungle assault that covers every single angle and every single era. 47 tracks and one killer mix, hosted and toasted by Levy himself, this is one of Jungle Cakes most comprehensive collections to date: From the foundation-setting, historic vibes of "Incredible" through to contemporary bangers from the likes of Kursiva, DJ Hybrid, Jam Thieves, Benny Page and all things in between, everyone involved has delivered something special. Massive.
Review: The Bangers R Mashed edits are back with their 14th instalment and it's without a doubt the best thing that's surfaced from the label so far. As per usual, it's a visceral blend of breaks, disco, hip-hop and everything in between. This time it's a reggae ting, though, with Collie Budz and The Temptations taking up the scalpel duties.
