LXC – Connewoodz

Here’s another recommendation for the breakbeat lovers out there. LXC rereleased a ton of material from 2001 to 2008. “Connewoodz” is a disturbing portrait of a long-gone era of Leipzig’s – or more precisely Connewitz’ – break-heavy history. Again, this EP shows the versatility of an artist who dedicated his life to drum breaks and heavy basslines.

While the tracks mostly fit into the realm of Drum and Bass and Jungle quite well, there is also a special vibe to all of them. It’s the oddness that makes the release stand out – and not easy to categorize. You can’t just slap a genre label on it. The whole release sounds experimental, but never unapproachable. It’s kinda friendly but not necessarily happy. Therefore, it is definitely worth exploring, since it features a whopping 17 tracks in total.

The album is also on donation basis, so maybe consider sending over a few bucks.
