Somatic Responses – Doomsday Conduit

Doomsday Conduit on Acroplane Records is the latest installment by the brothers Paul & John Healy better known as Somatic Responses. As usual they show great taste in heavily distorted soundscapes mixed with some of the strangest acid lines you’ve heard so far. And of course, not to forget their breakbeat-wizardry that really drives the tracks through several dimensions. The album is an insane trip with 10 equally enjoyable chapters which all sound very inviting – and always different. Some of these chapters are darker and rougher than others, but in general the overall theme appears to be very glitchy […]

The Silence – The Silence of the Perfect Dark

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 […]

Low Entropy – AI generated Hardcore and Techno (or how to speak to a machine)

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 […]

Tripped – A Thing About Something

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 […]

The Outside Agency – The Way of The Exploding Fist

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 […]

G.xist – Anatoly

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. […]

Alzoc III – U Devilz EP

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

Noneless – A Vow of Silence

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 […]

Fuk the borders V​.​A. vol​.​9

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 […]

Hidden Rooms’ “Passion Doesn’t Pay Mix P12” by the Relic

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 Maxx – Cocaine (Umwelt Remix)03. 10 CLS – Screen 904. Restive Plaggona – Never Recovered05. I Murdered – Skin Jacket06. Ronove – Anarkhos07. AK-Industry – Dead Bird08. MRD – Lights09.

Saxenhammer DJ SET 2023 – Praxis Records

Bong-Ra – Vaseline

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

Maelstrom & Louisahhh – Sustained Resistance

It’s rare that you come across some music and think: “Wow, that’s really something else!” of course “Sustained Resistance” by Maelstrom & Louisahhh is not entirely new music, but the way this duo combines different strains of music and weaves them together into a seminal piece of art (well, it’d dare to call it that way) is simply amazing. The tracks themselves are emotionally charged amalgamations of hard electronic music. You find traces of so many different genres here – luckily, only the good ones. No seriously, it’s absolutely worth listening, especially for those of you who are looking for […]

Neurocore – Existences

Neurocore always had his signature sound that cannot be compared to anything else in in the Hardcore world. This wonderful exception to the rule features sonically diverse and mesmerizing sounds that will drag you away from what your everyday experiences might have to offer. The tracks are produced with great attention to detail. It’s very outer spacey, deep and thoughtful. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, but all the time very convincing. At times it feels like a movie soundtrack with its sensitive soundscapes. A very beautiful release that stands alone in the universe with music that meanders from super silky sounds […]

Tech Itch Recordings – COVERT​:​TWO

Sadly, it remains unclear who produced this album. But it doesn’t matter that much. It’s all about the bass and the breaks here. Since there’s not much Drum and Basss featured on this blog, it’s great to find an album overstuffed with excellently crafted dnb slammers. The soundspheres are menacing and the bass is as low as possible. The drum breaks are also from another planet. They are hitting hard but are also sound super clean and present at the same time. The album features 12 slamming tracks and all of them are worth a listen! COVERT:TWO by Tech Itch […]

DJ Mark N – Under Sufferance Mix 2003

It may come as a surprise that we post such an old mix, but then on the other hand, why not? It’s a great mix by none other than Mark N himself. This mix really sums up how relentless and unforgiving hardcore was 20 years ago. There are people claiming that you can find copies of this mix lying on certain servers. I would not recommend to specifically look for them on well-known internet search engines.   So anyway, it’s a great historic mix that should be played at every occasion on full blast 😊 dj.mark.n.australia · DJ Mark N […]

Void Settler – Bell, Book & Candle

The latest album by Void settler “Bell, Book & Candle” came out recently on the Third Movement and is definitely one of a kind. The album feasts on so many musical traditions, but breaks and rearranges them all the time. Obviously, you find traces of hardcore and tons of distortion everywhere. But apart from that, the record also features gothic soundscapes, orchestral elements and choirs from hell. The musical structures of the tracks do not follow any conventional formula. And this is what makes the album really stand out. It’s demanding, it’s really questioning your listening habits. But it always […]

INDIAN JUNGLIST on Solid Sound FM

This producer mix from Indian Junglist is a total blast. High paced breakbeats, crazy fast kick drums and tons of ravey vocals make this mix a no brainer. This is must for dancefloor oriented destruction. And let’s be honest, nothing beats mashing up everything you can get your hands on. And Indian Junglist definitely delivers, no doubt! (I wish I had a cat sticker here) Also mad love for the Olive remix. _ TRACKLIST _Indian Junglist – Acid Shivers (SuckPuck Recordz)Indian Junglist – One Spliff for the Landlordy (unreleased!)Indian Junglist – Creeds – Push Up (Breakcore Edit) (self released)Indian Junglist […]

10 CLS – RUN

The new or more precisely first album by 10 CLS has been around for quite some time already, but there are tons of reasons to shine light on this outstanding release. The mastermind behind 10 CLS is also known to the broader public as Ophidian. And this alone should ring a bell. He is one of the most impressive electronic producers of all time and moreover always interested in creating more and more projects, diving deep and deeper into musical realms that take you farther and farther away from your genre specific comfort zone. But enough about the artist, what […]

Ars Dada & Dr. Roman – Freshly Baked Raggamuffins

As you may already can tell from the name of the release, Ars Dada & Dr. Roman bring Ragga Jungle to its extremes. This release on Murder Channel features 4 vocal-heavy Ragga Jungle blends that fit every set. In addition, you can get the release for free or have to pay at least 140 Yen (around 1€) to add it to your bandcamp account. Freshly Baked Raggamuffins by Ars Dada & Dr. Roman

Deformer – See, Hear, Scream!

For our 200th post we have something very special for you. Lot’s of people are crazy ingenious when it comes to mutilating breakbeats, distorting kickdrums and most importantly disturbing the peace. But even if there are many great producers out there, nobody does it like Deformer. This guy offers a whole universe of aesthetic, atheist aggression which remains unmatched. His album “See, Hear, Scream” is more than an “album”, it’s a best of and beyond. A showcase of Deformer’s musical endeavors which already have started in 1993. It’s unbelievable how much these productions stick out even when it comes to […]
