Dada Cat - Raggacore

Dada Cat and Hormonal Vibrationz (a fine label run by the fantastic miss KlitoriX) present "Raggacore" a short release clocking in around 15 minutes filled with, you guessed it, raggacore. This brand of raggacore is a less distorted, less "breakcore" variety than what is normal for the genre. Shedding, for the most part, distorted amen attacks and filthy bass for a sound that gets back to its roots in ragga, dancehall, and dub. Its a nice change of pace. Grab this and don't forget to check out everything else from Dada Cat and Hormonal Vibratoinz. MUCH quality SUCH gypseycore/breakcore/awesome to be had!!

disrupt - Samurai Showdown/Last Blade (JAHTARI net 7" series)

JAHTARI is an interesting label. For one, they release 8-bit/chip style reggae, dub, dancehall, etc. They also do what they call net 7 inches, releases set up to be much like a physical 7", even going as far as to include the sound of the needle hitting wax and looping before and after the music. Disrupt's net 7" is superb. Taking vibe and imagery from the awesome classic 2D fighter "Samurai Showdown" and slapping a smokey skank on it. Disrupt also draws inspiration from classic Japanese characters such as Zatoichi (get the full run down on all the dopeness that inspired this album from the link below). Its been raining alot here today in Chicago and the stoney groove of "Samurai Showdown" and "Last Blade" mix perfectly with the calming pitter patter of the foggy wetness outside. Japanese wind instruments mixed with classic reggae guitar licks made a perfect accompaniment to a hazey chill out session. Careful while listening and playing the releases namesake.... these are jams for after the battles done.

Amen-talist - Round 2

"This compilation is a selection of tracks from various members of Amen-tal. (Plus a few additional tracks from some like minded producers from the Jungle Syndicate and Life 4 Land crews.) A collective of producers who all enjoy hearing the amen break more frequently than your doctor would normally recommend. The beats they make range from ambient drones to full on filth riddled breakcore, but with their main focus being on various strains of jungle music." - taken from Acroplane Recordings website

Great tracks from Dr...um, Axewound, Sams Myth, Sargy+Raggamuffin, and a few more. After being out of touch with contemporary Jungle for too long, I am happily surprised to see so many talented artists keeping things rolling and going strong. It has been well over 20 years since Jungle music came onto the music scene. It is a testament to the genre that listeners are just as enthusiastic now as they were when Jungle was still a new kid on the block. The amen will never go stale. LISTEN CHOON!

Be sure to check out the Jungle Syndicate page where i found about this awesome release and some really great artists!
