So here we are on Boxing Day. Hangovers are clearing and turkey leftovers are already being recycled up into sarnies, curries and salads. To carry on this spirit of recycling I’m posting up a mix I did earlier in the year for the podcast of my buddy Mr. Phipson.
It’s a mix of nu-jazz and broken beat with a Brazilian samba flavour, and will hopefully be a little Christmas bonus for you loyal listeners. Hope y’all dig it, and all the best for 2009!
Those of you into the harder-edge of the drum&bass spectrum will be interested in this. My good buddies at the brand new label Narukami Records have burst onto the scene with a brace of new digital releases.
TrackItDown had the following opinion on Seizmic’s debut ‘Rejuventation’:
Always ace to see brand new labels kicking off as they mean to go on! UK based Narukami drop their first smash by label manager Seizmic and boy what a stormer. Pumping jump up drum and bass that bobs and weaves like a champ with some live sounding percussion and great vocals. Kinda like Technique meets Viper. Styling.
And they had this to say about the follow-up release ‘Transistor Hustler’:
Someone is making an impression this week! Another killer cut from new breed producer Seizmic on his own Narukami label. This sounds like classic jump up drum and bass covering all angles and edges nicely. Big rolling basslines and larger than life production will slay any system. Support the next generation!
Any DnB headz out there should check these out. Fully recommended from me!
