Guest Mix By Law "Deep Jungle 1993-1996"

Via Two Hungry Ghosts:

The second inguest mix series features a brand new set from vinyl collector, blogger and drum and bass authority Law. Here he captures a time that we are extremely passionate about, deep jungle from 1993-1996.

He says: "There was a period (roughly) between 1993 to 96 where jungle was not only atmospheric or dark, but it had an other worldly, sci-fi feel. Labels like Deejay, Lucky Spin, Legend, Timeless, Rugged Vinyl and others captured this spacey, blissed-out vibe. A quality that now seems more or less extinct within the contemporary drum and bass scene. I tried to select tunes for this mix that represent the broad spectrum of this sound. With brooding, dark tracks like 'Fury' and 'Genesis Project' to the more calming, deep sounds of 'Intalect' and 'Traveling Pt 2'.
There is a feeling of nervous mystery and wonder to these tunes, as if they could be the soundtrack to that part of a sci-fi film where the human protagonists discover a new world, a mystery accelerated by the fact that these sounds now only exist in the past."

delPurr & Eraser - Fairytale / Imagine [out now]

Blu Mar Ten Music (BMTM) is a home for the beautiful and the ugly, the elegant and the awkward, the euphoric and the melancholy. Their fourth release is, in our opinion, their best yet. Brought to you by the brand new Slovakian duo, delPurr & Eraser, these two tracks are utterly sublime - based on swathes of beautiful melodies, deep sub-bass and enveloping atmospheres.

Drawing heavily on the tradition of dark, Eastern European children’s stories, Fairytale fuses mutated high and low vocals with dreamlike pianos and a warping bass. Meanwhile, Imagine is sophistication underpinned by a dreamy bassline. Play it loud and dive into its huge spooky soundscapes.

An unheard Yorke track, ‘Has Been’, makes the cut, and Yorke also tossed in some unreleased Radiohead material, ‘Harmonics Loop’ – although it’s less a fully-fledged track than, well, some looped guitar harmonics.

XLR8R Podcast 280: Ulrich Schnauss

Although XLR8R covers many different corners of the electronic spectrum, it's fair to say that we've haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to drum & bass as of late. That being said, we still have a soft spot for the genre's heyday, and it appears we're not alone. Ulrich Schnauss may be best known for the serene, shoegaze-flavored electronic soundscapes he's been turning out for more than a decade, but when we asked the German veteran to participate in our podcast series, he elected to eschew his signature style and instead delve into his past. The result? A 78-minute offering he's calling Drift to the Centre: Deep Atmospheric DnB from the Golden Age, a mix which also happens to represent the largest spotlight XLR8R has shone on drum & bass in quite some time. In fairness, before Schnauss began releasing music under his own name in the early '00s and cooking up melody-rich pieces of pastoral electronic pop, he was crafting ambient drum & bass as Ethereal 77 and View to the Future, making this podcast a sort of return to his roots. It's a bit of an unexpected left turn, but given that his new album, A Long Way to Fall, is arguably Schnauss' most varied effort to date, it seems that the producer has perhaps reached a point where he's looking to surprise people.

As its ornate title suggests, the podcast is full of mid-'90s classics; it's a celebration of the pre-techstep era, a time when drum & bass world—or at least a sizable portion of it—celebrated deep, soulful grooves and rolling jazz rhythms. It may not sound like Schnauss' modern-day output, but its chilled vibes and relaxing effect are certainly similar.

Track list:

01 Photek "T-Raenon" (Op-ART)
02 David Holmes "Gone (PFM Remix)" (Go! Discs)
03 Mental Power "Unknown Intelligence" (Formation)
04 Saint Etienne "The Sea (PFM Mix)" (Heavenly)
05 Lee & Gwange "2 Deep" (Legend)
06 Motive One "Life" (Certificate 18)
07 Neil Trix & Danny Mills "Pearls" (Bang-In Tunes)
08 MI5 "Experience" (Lucky Spin)
09 Odyssey "Expressions" (720 Degrees)
10 Source Direct "Secret Liaison" (Good Looking)
11 Seba "Planetary Funk Alert" (Looking Good)
12 Ethereal 77 "Somnambulism" (Dubplate)
13 DJ Crystl "Sweet Dreamz" (Dee Jay)
