Lick Down Crew - The Remedy - 14-Jun-08 08:18 PM
Good FUCKING luck seeing this on sale, this by far is one of the rarest of the rare...Even compared to those missing jungle rarities that aren't Even released/listed on DISCOGS.

This release contains the tune "The Remedy", a dub version and a vocal version featuring E.T Silicon to spice up the flip side with a upbeat ragga vibe...You also get a organic sound from this release which is unusual to pull off for Jungle...The
horns, keys, vocals, & the choice of drums to program all contributed to that.

"Why do the chic BOH!, she must be sick, lad she must a want a junglist, (dick!)"

Even owning a copy, I still check from time to time to see if a copy turns up for sale. Kind of a unknown choon but not to the die hard Jungle collectors....I doubt anyone in there right minds would even think about departing with this plate, unless some clueless joe with no knowledge of this black gem ends up selling it.

And if so...You should know what to do, drop everything you are doing (including that baby in your arms) and swoop this up like a crackhead in a dyers fiend....But in a way I'm reluctant to even review this...Because from a musical snob point of view I rather keep this under the radar and keep it on the hush for only the rarest record diggers in the know...

So after this review, I wouldn't be surprise when I see a jump in the numbers of members who want this from 29 to 100, and as far as this review helping in seeing a copy for sale, well we'll see about that.

Remarc - R.I.P. / Ice Cream & Syrup - 23-Jun-07 06:55 PM
With so many classics released from the Suburban Base label and the prolific amen serial killer... Remarc. This release here is one of the most sought after and without a doubt one of Remarc's most popualar & finest.

All the tracks on this record provides nice work for all D.J.'S to cut with, even the little Bonus Speech on track AA3 that gives a shout out to the O.G. Crews and points out the sell out posers who jumped on the wagon. Tracks AA1 & AA2 are the Ice Cream tunes, both are proper droppers as well, one is more on the mellow drum n bass tip but still rugged for any hardstep jungle mix and the other is the hard mix with a similar sound scape but dosed with heavy drilling amens and a stabbing vocal sample rolling along with it, building up a climax to the perfect sample of "OOH... I'M GONNA CUM..OH YEAH..OOH."

But of course the top tune of this record is the R.I.P. track. This tune has been well played out... but when still dropping this tune at parties the crowd still gets hyped, the unmistakable strings in the intro to the pounding break of R.I.P...Rest.In.Peace...tearing out to the stomping bass line and shifty start & shut amens that signatures Remarc as the king of amens. If you are a self respected junglist and never heard this tune before...well.. my only comment is that you could only understand that nostalgia if you only heard it back in the days, oldskool or newskool, junglists & junglettes this record is a should have piece for your collection.

Bizzy B + Peshay - 2 Dope E.P. - 21-May-07 01:40 AM
This e.p. contains an essential darkcore classic Merder style. It builds up with atmospheric pads and hardcore pounds setting a meditative state that disguises the track with a calm before the storm, which then tears out furiously with amens and turning even more sinister after with the sample of Darth Vader "The Power Of DarkSide". Setting the temper with a chaotic pace of vicious drums, and the reverb effect on the drums after the drop of the sample "O.K. I'm ready now" add a nice touch of elevation for the track.

Shimon & Andy C* - Body Rock - 13-May-07 06:04 AM
Body Rock, yes unique at the time of released and the sound was then dubbed clownstep. The name originated from producer Dylan. Dylan created the term as a description due to its swingbeat sound that inspired an image of clowns dancing. The phrase was then popularised by Dylan on the drum & bass webforum Dogs On Acid. The phrase was censored by the site's moderators, appearing in posts as "*********", due to its derogatory usage. A "clownsteppa" smiley was spawned, and now appears in DNB-related forums worldwide.
