Reviews
So I'm pretty sure the samples in heavyweight come from heroes the TV show within the first season's 10 eps, the "be the one we need" and "I don't understand" (or similar not listening to it now) I'm amazed I picked up on it, but 99% sure. Sharing the knowledge.- Heavy Weight is a killer tune.. love the rolls and the samples. Murderation at its best!!!
- YA know, I've always hated clownstep/wobble/Nu school Jump Up, but I gotta say...Fresh did it the best. Shot Down on Safari and his 12"'s off Ram stand up 10+ years later, whereas all that Hazard/Twisted Individual/nearly 80% of producers in the mid to late 00's became stale by the 2nd drop first-time played. DRUMFUNK4LIFE. But I'd let Fresh lick my jungle-bells with choons like this.
- Edited 9 years agoThis release made me wonder if Fresh had something against his own label. Not putting out two of his finest efforts for years on Breakbeat Kaos was a bit odd.
The A side is a roller with a slow, deep wobble bass. It truly lives up to its name; it's a bassline heavyweight right up there with other tracks from him and his old collaborators like "The Nine" (Bad Company - The Nine / The Bridge) and Bad Company - Bellini / True Romance. One thing's for sure: it's impossible to grasp the magnitude of this track from a YouTube video.
On the flip, "Fantasia", with its jungle-inspired breaks, lives up to the standard set by "Heavyweight" and is perfectly suited to this release, which feels like a 90s revival (techstep b2b jungle, as another reviewer already commented).
If nothing else, these bangers proved that Fresh could still create drum & bass on a par with the best BCUK efforts. Shame he subsequently decided break the charts; I don't like his new music at all. 
A Great release this one. The A side "Heavyweight" is a tough and rolling bit of Techstep harking right back to the 97-99 no u-turn style sounds and rips up bassbins in classic style.
The B side "Fantasia" is my personal favourite on this one though, a light uplifting Jungle track that takes you right back to '94 and is somewhat reminiscent of Dj Rap's Spiritual Aura.
Both sides are storming and this is a must have for your bag as it's so versatile.
