Fresh from the frontiers of modern jungle, Rupture returns with a monolithic EP from new-comer Mani Festo. The tightly textured breaks of “Immortal” create the foundation for a set of stabs that will cut through even the foggiest dance floor; while “Awake” balances a dreamy pad atop cascading percussion and a thick, rumbling bass line. On the flip, snatches of 808 claps flicker in the shadows of heavily crushed drums before a familiar sample of off-world blues noir flows across the entire operation in “Hold the Line’’ – a track that has earned a lot of attention since being on heavy rotation in Rupture residents’ DJ sets. Finally, closing track “Warehouse Theory” stacks disembodied organ riffs over driving breaks to round off Mani Festo’s debut Rupture release.
UK Jungle heavyweights Supa Ape and Lady Soul join forces to create a fiercely unique live act, performing tracks from their upcoming collaborative EP 'Supa Ape Meets Lady Soul', as well as some of the freshest amen breaks on the planet. The pair joined forces in early 2017, and the success of their track (and subsequent music video) 'Approach With Caution' inspired them to work on four original pieces to be released in both vinyl and digital formats on the UK Jungle Records imprint. Together they possess a musicality, depth and a raw energy scarcely found within the jungle / dnb scene, and deliver a live performance unlike anything you have ever heard.
This record features full coloured artwork sleeves which will be the eye catcher of anyone's collection.
Bournemouth-UK based Record Label focusing on the darker roots breaks side of Jungle and Drum & Bass Music. The Rotation Audio Record Label has been founded through love and dedication to electronic music. Rotation will aim to showcase some of the rawest well known and underground talent in the Drum & Bass and Jungle scene and will focus on the darker roots breaks side of the music. Our first release brings you two massive names in the game right now – Sicknote and Drum Cypha.
Sicknote’s 'Someday' creates an emotional journey through high defined musical gestures portraying life’s cycle until you eventually reach the light. Rolling drum breaks throughout the track build a progressive movement until the bassline and vocal takes hold on the drop. A belter in the form of a beauty of a track from the man like Sicknote.
Drum Cypha's 'Centaurs' is another hard hitting track. Atmospheric sustained melodies lead to rolling crunchy amens that pave way to a breakdown where the second drop lifts off and hits you right in the face. The track has a Sci Wax feel about it and is a serious club banger bound to get the crowd rolling. Amen smasher from the main man Drum Cypha.
Will Miles, Virginia Born Junglist badman, finally joins the Inperspective family with 4 glorious cuts of hardstep futurism.
Music that captures the old school sensibilities while still maintaining the forward thinking ethos that has become the Inperspective staple.
Title track Choose Wisely brings a side to repertoire that isn't often seen. Stomping Amen of the highest order. Does the damage that needs to be done.
Medicine brings the pain is a starkly different way, steppy hard break with a morphing darkside bassline is the order of the day on this one, encapsulated with the sinister atmosphere.
Bringing in the element of diversity of the EP we have Pulsation, a quirky, Dubby Footwork/Jungle hybrid. Has been shocking audiences all over with it's skippy progressive style.
Finally, Want Not, brings the beauty. Hardstep Liquid vibes are what makes this tune fairly unique in the Inperspective catalogue, but don't let the haunting piano and chilling vocals confuse you. The bassline in this one comes from the depths of Hades!
On first listen, it’s no surprise that Serum has received support from the likes of Andy C, Friction, Bryan G, Fabio, Shy FX, Dillinja, Ray Keith, DJ Marky and many more crucial tastemakers. With records like title-track ‘Black Metal’ doing damage, alongside its clinking metallic hi-hats and winding bassline, Serum’s sound was certainly created for the clubs. Punchy drums and crackling bass helps to underpin his signature, a staple production style which has made him notorious. Then comes ‘Ramparts’, crashing forward on clattering breaks and an undeniable groove which sifts mercilessly through the mix. Serum delivers blow after blow, with kicking drums and distorted sonic creating a disjointed roller which becomes more imposing with every layer.
Up next is ‘Skeleton Key’, a weighty offering which reverberates with every crunching sub. Spectre-like atmospherics push themselves across the composition, overlaying a creeping feel which juxtaposes methodically against its more slanted elements. Serum knows how to create a feeling of unease; it’s this uncompromising feature which has made his records so impactful on dancefloors.

Launching in late 2018, Outlook Recordings rolls into 2019 with another massive release, this time from one of drum & bass biggest names and boss of Symmetry Records, Break. Widely regarded as one of the scenes finest producers and DJs, he is hugely respected by fellow producers and fans alike. Not content with sitting in just one genre, his Degrees Of Freedom project with Kyo spreads out across dub, house, garage and techno - which is showcased on this EP perfectly.
"Excuses" has been creating hype on dubplate for over a year, with minimal percussion and strings making way for deep sonics and those trademark drums. Over on the flip things get eclectic with the deep dub of "For You" featuring Kyo's haunting vocals whilst "Take Your Time" flexes a 2-step vibe, perfect for the dancefloor. As a digital exclusive there are also 2 deep house tinged gems, "Monoxide" which slowly trickles into acid territory and the beautiful sun-soaked "Walk Away".

The fifth Weaponry release is the debut from a global collective of composers called ‘Torana’. The unit initially assumed the name for their role on the ‘Paroxysm’ collaboration, but have since continued to craft the hypnotic cerebral rhythms being presented on the ‘Acrid’ EP.
Klute begins 2019 with the Take a Breath Remix - a massive amen workout of his classic from the “Lie Cheat & Steal” LP. On the flip The Box echos brooding late 90’s tech step and Annihilation tears it up with primitive sounds, amen chops and filter edits. Savage.
The 'Insights' EP is Spinscott's second release on the US based Elm Imprint label, as a highly anticipated follow up to the internationally successful 'Make It Funky / Lovelight' single. 'Insights' features 3 tracks that represent a progression of styles, and satisfies the demand for Classic Jungle sounds, fresh Drum And Bass, and deep '160' flavors.
Side A: 'Phaseout' - This forward-thinking Drum And Bass tune starts out with a moody & mixable intro, staccato drums and bass hits, before dropping into a precisely arranged dancefloor rhythm. Impact exceeds maximum threshold after the break, with the injection of an unexpected layered kick pattern, which has proven to leave no one standing still! But don't mix out too soon... the final phase features an exclusive drum break sourced from a family 45 pressing, circa 1968, sliced and reworked for it's debut appearance here. Phaseout has moved audiences during pre-release plays at Spinscott performances in the US, UK, and beyond.
Side B1: 'Rocker' - This 160 BPM tune was meticulously crafted using drums, effects, and other sounds from multiple genres of dance music, and engineered to make people move! Starting out on a jazzy tip with 808s, sax notes and various fx elements, it doesn't waste time getting to an onslaught of swinging drums and vocal artifacts. Rounding out with some classy Rhodes melodies, strings & short-cut Amens, 'Rocker' delivers an audible message for people to rock, swing, and move to the music! DJs will enjoy cutting in and out of this one, with many changes and elements to mix & blend with.
Side B2: (vinyl exclusive): '#7' - This oldschool style Jungle track FINALLY appears on the vinyl version of this release to satisfy over 5 years of relentless demand! Originally filmed as one of Spinscott's Real-Time Jungle videos, '#7' is the one that opened the floodgates to international recognition and performances worldwide. (see link below) Previously only available in video or performed live at shows, Spinscott has produced a full length 'dj friendly' version, featuring all the original elements of the original performance.

Debut 12" release from Bulu & Etch's new label BTG
Created as a means to explore styles and sonic territories they may not explore through their own avenues, BTG was set up as a means for complete creative freedom not restricted to tempo style or dancefloor formularity.
The first release; an extension of Etch & Bulu's Radar Radio selections which can range anywhere from Hip-Hop to Psychedelic Rock and Jungle to Dubstep.
Yo Yo Riddim by Etch was conceived whilst Etch was logging death certificates on prescription codeine; "big up Dr. Bidwell". Then thrown into unidentified territory by Turkish space wizard - Gantz, who transforms this track into a churching gutteral beast.
On the flipside, we have an original from one of the greatest young minds in DnB & Jungle right now, Ilk. His constantly recognisable razor sharp production are at the forefront in this track - Yes, Ruff!, with an equally jarring remix from French Astrophonica & 31 Records alumni, Moresounds, which builds and builds until it explodes.
BTG001 has already received support from Fracture, Sam Binga, DJ Barely Legal & more...
Prolific German producer Acid_Lab links up with Repertoire once again, alongside his dubbed out alter-ego Ahmad.
Acid_Lab starts proceedings with "Shimazu Clan", a track reminiscent of Source Direct at their most rolling and dangerous. Whilst "Planets", a solar system-sized stepper with booming one- note bass and kick / snare combo, keeps things moving to see out side A.
The mysterious Ahmad takes the reins for side B, and first links up with Manchester's Artilect for "Symbols" - a dark tribal onslaught, peppered with machine gun percussion and an amen final act. Ahmad then brings things down for the dub-inspired "Blackout".
Digital teams up with Canadian legend, Gremlinz. American duo, Sight Unseen and German new boy, Keygenlog for the breaks and bass heavy Mental State EP.
Out Of Control features fierce breaks powered by a stabby Phantom Force style riff with an attitude. This is 1994 deep jungle in a 21st century full metal jacket.
Bitter Switch is a deeper, colder version of Digital's, 'Bitter Wind' featured on Rupture Recordings. The haunting pads hover above the high pitched clanging Amen in an exciting counterpoint to the dubbed out bass.
Too Late Again is full on unforgiving dirty Jungle written with one of the scene's favourite breaks: Blowfly - 'Sesame Street' that features on Deep Blue's, 'The Helicopter Tune'
Low Battery. The first collaboration between Digital and the relentless Gremlinz was always going to be an Amen smasher. Nuff said!
