Fed. - 902BassDrum

Band / Artist: Fed.
Year: 2015
Genre: Jungle, Breakcore, Drum and Bass

My Review:
Some days, jungle is just a good way to start out the day. Today, that is the case for me. Plus the art has a kitty.

I've heard a few things from Fed. in the past. Best I can remember, this is my favorite. Its much more wild and jazzy, which is really getting me going. It rolls into hiphop or anthem house or reggae, then wildly dissects it, then pulls back to lounge jazz, only to fuse both into the next wave of crazy breakcore wildness.

If this is your jam, here is a long list of other works by the artist (Igor Fedshin)

         [SRmp3 247] Fed. - Hold your gun Babylon 

[SRmp3 205] Fed. - Lion Conversion

[SRmp3 180] Fed. - Mashup Business

[SRmp3 167] Fed. - Fedish Animal

[SRmp3 119] Fed. - Noise, Hash and Meat

[SRmp3 091] Fed. v.s. Annoying Ringtone - Baking

[SRmp3 064] Fed. - Everybody Sucks

Alright, well I'm gonna let this one out into the world now. Enjoy.

Band / Artist: And.
Year: 2013
Genre: Chiptune, Breakcore, Jungle


My Review:
This one is super catchy chiptuney breakcore. The tracks all seemed to have been started out as full chiptune compositions and then warped and layered with breaks and glitchy drum tracks.

And. is a musician out of the UK.he has a myspace here.

It's a good middle Ground between what Ralp and Psilodump have made that I've shared here, being very game-ish and jungle. If you like dancey gamey breakcore, then I can't see you disliking it. I've missed sharing a lot of weird lately.

LFO Demon - Genocide Memoria

Band/Artist: LFO Demon
Year: 2004
Genre: Ambient, Illbient, Chillout, Dub, Breakcore, Abstract

My Review:
LFO Demon (Also known as Mental Hell) is a jungle / gabber musician for anything I have heard BUT this album. Usually when a musician jumps genre after releasing only one genre for their whole catalogue, you expect it to suck big time or feel horribly fake and forced, but this one is something else.

This is an album that works simultaneously putting two faces out to the listener; a soft, groove based Chillout album, and a dark, brooding soundscape that always edges on the precipice of an ominous event. Maybe this album WAS forced, which would explain that feeling like you're listening to something huge, dark, and malicous underneath a shiny exterior and a smile.

This album was released on the C8 netlabel collective back in 2004, and was one of the very few softer albums to be on that site at the time. Only a few other slow albums ever showed up on there, and I believe that the label is now defunct, but the site is still up.

Anyhow, this is a full length album, with a playing time of an hour. The sounds and approaches toward the grooves on every track are different, with elements of jazz rock, IDM, jungle, dub reggae, and a couple industrial moments. I've been listening to this one since 2005, and I still put it on for a road trip or a writing session.

A heads up, the tracks are all downloadable individually on the link

The Ghost Of 3.13 - The World Isn't Here

Band / Artist: The Ghost Of 3.13
Year: 2012
Genre: ambient, modern-classical, IDM, glitch, breakcore

My Review:

The 26 year old Romanian dude making this music definitely know how to play around with his breaks, creatively and emotively. I would say that its breakcore, but it really isn’t through & through. It's kind of like a film or game score. Rainy day candlelight sort of feel to it.

It's really strange sad and beautiful together. I definitely love this one.

I just realized after following them for years, that Sociopath Records was a Taiwanese record label. One more reason to go to Taiwan, ladyboys be damned.

Somatic Responses - Mercury

Band / Artist: Somatic Responses
Year: 2009
Genre: Dubstep,  Dark Techno, Electronica, Breakcore

My Review:
This one is a band that was starting out doing breakcore with Venetian Snares back in early 2000s. The release is on Acroplane records. This sounds like something a dubstep fan would enjoy, though I wouldn't call it that. I've had it in my collection for about 3 years, and I've been following the group since early '04.

I love when I can get a chance to support those dark horse guys who were in the background since the beginning of a music era, and this would be an example of one of those bands.

Swampyboy - Robot Love Story

Band / Artist: Swampyboy
Year: 2011
Genre: Chiptune, Breakcore

My Review:
Chiptune/breakcore with a happy go lucky sound to it.All thanks to Swampyboy, also known as the quite handsome Joey Loney, of Exeter, Britain. This one was released on Sociopath Records, which i used to listen to a lot while jogging. He was prolific as hell for a couple years, but his myspace says he's on hiatus right now.

I might post some more of his albums another time.  For now, expect some oddly emotive lo-bit video game symphonies sped up to 11.
