Well, the waiting is finally over! Even though the world is shattered to pieces, there are some things that help you deal with all the bullshit. And this album is definitely one of the silver linings on the horizon. After a slight delay, the Silence present their first full-length album. Words like mind-blowing couldn’t even describe what the album achieved. This is hardcore at it’s peak. It has everything, features old and new, and manages to be innovative at all points. The sound design is just brilliant. Distortion never sounded any better. This clarity and production value is outstanding. Apart […]

As probably everyone of us is now familiar with the disruptive power of AI technology, we entered a new stage of technical evolution. And this of course does not only concern visual arts (and everything else). Equally, you can now create music with the help of AI and even though the results vary a lot regarding quality, this has come a long way and will evolve much further in the upcoming years. So anyway, a few days ago we had an email from Low Entropy in our inbox. And while we are still wondering what AI can do when it […]

After his first album “Unboxed” on PRSPCT last year, Tripped came up with another full length release just recently. Even though the first release was very impressive, the second one lifts this bouncy in-your-face Hardcore style that Tripped is famous for on a new level. It’s great to see that his style develops continuously, but you can still recognize his signature sound. The album features 10 tracks, including a pretty noisy intro with a savory kick drum filter extravaganza. As this sets the tone for the rest of the album, the tracks on it cover a bright palette and include […]

Technically speaking this is not a new release. Instead, it’s a rerelease of an absolute classic EP by none other than the Outside Agency. After nearly 2 decades these tracks finally see the light of day again. I personally waited for a proper digital download forever – basically since the day I discovered the release. Originally it was released on Hong Kong Violence in 2007, and has been unmatched ever since. The sound design with it’s Kung-Fu samples is just bonkers. The release sounds still super fresh and even in 2023 there is nobody who could compete with TOA in […]

Only few releases have the class to cast a spell over you. But luckily, there exist some breathtaking exceptions. Even though the name G.xist didn’t ring a bell or anything so far, the artist managed to produce an atmospheric trip into the unknown. With six utterly different tracks, G.xist pushed the boundaries of sonic exploration. The rhythms do not sound too alien, but still run differently than most electronic music. It therefore also questions your listening habits. But again, it’s not too far away, from what you maybe already appreciate. It’s absolutely worth checking out, especially on a rainy afternoon. […]

Every now and then everybody needs some quality roughneck Ragga Jungle tunes. Alzoc III is not only a fictional planet, it’s also the alter ego of Vincent van Sloth, who’s widely known for his Breakcore fever dreams. In stark contrast to his previous releases, this release on UKJ, goes back to more classic breakbeat mutilation business and sounds like an authentic mid 90s piece of jungle. The release is at least as massive as 3 times the Mount Everest, but maybe a bit more approachable. Or is it? UK Jungle Presents: Alzoc III – U Devilz EP by Alzoc III

The first album by „Noneless” from Australia dives into unexplored musical depths. It’s a very interesting piece that shows ingenuity and curiosity in sound design that’s often lacking in nowadays productions. But not here. Definitely not! With “A vow of Silence” you get everything but not silence. Instead, the album features tons of influences from other genres, mixed with partially ethnic sounding vocal samples, garnished with hectic percussions. The textures are rich and range from abstract atmospheres to very harsh noisescapes. Some tracks stick out due to their ear pleasing qualities, others because they attack your eardrums and show no […]

After 15 Years in the Business, Suck Puck Records celebrates its very own existence with the already 9th installment of the Fuk the Borders series. As you may expect already, the Compilation features everything relentless breakbeat music has to offer. It has a little bit of everything. Literally everything… The compilation offers more or less classic Jungle vibes, as well as super happy breaks, bouncy beats, but also grim and glitchy pieces that don’t fit any formula at all. For 7 Bucks it’s a steal, so consider buying that stuff! It also comes with great artwork which is available as […]

The Relic’s mix for Hidden Room nearly 4-hour journey into madness. The track selection is on point and the mixing is tight. The overall theme is dark and it’s packed with acid lines. In general the mix meanders between hard techno and rock solid hardcore. The Relic · Hidden Rooms' "Passion Doesn't Pay Mix P12" 01. Kontain – The Cold Face02.

The most recent release by Bong-Ra represents a beautiful take on dark Jungle. The breaks are super solid and well programmed, the synths sound grim and fierce, and the overall sound design brings happiness to our dark hearts. This is not an “in-your-face” release, it’s even a bit reserved. A thoughtful approach to discover the essence of true dark Jungle Breaks. Vaseline by Bong-Ra
