Legendary full cycle artist has now dropped the "DJ" from his moniker and returns on 31 records. And it's really good
KRUST!!!

And finally. With his partner DJ Ratty, probably the finest exponent of the classic late 92 early 93 Jungle Techno sound. RIP

Sorry forgot this. I am quite sad about this but leaves a very strong (and surprisingly influential catalogue)

'drumfunk' has got to be one of the stupidest things ever, but it's a really cool mix.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 19 April 2018 20:29 (five years ago) link
You just mean the name?
This mix is super nostalgic for me, around '04 - '08 I used to listen to loads of this style, and the first tracks I made on the computer sounded a whole lot like it.

what's so bad about "drumfunk"
― the late great, Thursday, 19 April 2018 22:59 (five years ago) link
Yeah, just the name.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 19 April 2018 23:05 (five years ago) link
It never bothered me, although I don't think music at this tempo is "funky" per se. Maybe drumcore, or better yet...break...core?
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 20 April 2018 00:02 (five years ago) link
Yeah, there's just way too many names for jungle already. I was being hyperbolic, though, nothing can be as bad as 'neurofunk'. Still. 'Drumfunk?'

Generation 3 EP by Commix. One of the most complete dnb EPs I’ve heard in forever. 4 varied tracks, all excellent but this is a belter. Slight vibes of Commix’s own “Emily’s Smile” and the long forgotten “Future Realities Part 2” by Dave Wallace.

commix vs fabric is easily one of my favourite of the series.something is clearly in the air.2 major label d-n-b cds from years ago that a few months back were available via amazon market for pocket money have now jumped up massively in price.

I don't have specialist ears for this kind of music, but the following comp demanded a Top Ten slot this year:
https://soundsoftheuniverse.com/img/Q2puam13Uk1EM1hMcHowK0ZIZW4xQT09/new5026328504520-black-riot-sleeve-copy.jpg
Black RiotEarly Jungle, Rave and HardcoreSoul Jazz Records...Featuring classic and seminal tracks from the likes of Levictus and Krome &Time, alongside a host of rare and little-known ragga & junglist hardcore tunes from the likes of Babylon Timewarp’s hypnotic Durban Poison, Rhythm for Reasons’ mad ‘The Smokers Rhythm’, The Freaky rave-y breakbeat sound of ‘Time and Age,’ Trip One’s super dark ‘Snowball’ and loads more!
Expect super heavy basslines, equally heavy twisted Amen drum loops, even heavier ragga vocals! Original jungle style - roots and culture - from the earliest days of drum and bass.
Included with the album is a free limited-edition graphic mini-novel “Black Riot: The Mysterons save Planet Earth from the Xatheroid Angels.” This is the third collaboration between Soul Jazz Records and writer/illustrator Paulo Parisi, the highly respected author of graphic books on Jean Michel Basquiat and John Coltrane.
This new graphic story continues the story of black electronic dance music – this time set around the birth of Jungle and continues onwards from Soul Jazz’s earlier ‘Invasion of the Killer Mysterons’ (Jamaican electronic Dub, co-compiled by Kevin Martin (The Bug)) and Mysterons Invade the Jackin’ Zone (about Chicago Acid & Experimental House).More info, audio: https://soundsoftheuniverse.com/product/black-riot

I'm enjoying those ASC tracks, but d&b tracks are so long, lol. I checked the clock after listening for over 20 min...still only on track 3. I seriously don't understand why they need to be 7+ min.
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 20:25 (three years ago) link
Yeah, the album is always a little longer than I expect it to be; otoh I listened the EP (which came out first) a lot, and I always wanted it to be longer.
