In the future, I’ll be reviewing old EPs and LPs that even 10 years later are still great music and can still hold their own to the latest tracks.

12. Utah Jazz – Monday Blues (04:57)
13. Klute – Rye (05:24)


This compilation comes from the awesome Sun & Bass Festival with a sampling of the hottest tracks there. I really liked all the tracks on this compilation but a few really struck a chord with me. First up was ArpXp’s Winter in Sardinia, which is a really chilled track to set up the rest of the album. Nice low bass with a heavily compressed and effected piano really drive the piece. Next up from my favorites was Lynx & Hellrazor feat. Kemo – How You Move Me. Nice laid back beat with Kemo’s vocals on top. Then there’s Chris SU’s Promises, with its lush female vocals to accompany the strings that blends many styles from the spectrum of Neurofunk. Skipping down to Triad feat. Elina Monova – Persistence, I really was into the dark bass line with Elina’s vocals to brighten things back up. Calibre then brings another great track, Peace Organ. I don’t think I really have heard too many songs with an organ as the main instrument, but this one is really nice. Which brings us to Lenzman – Diamonds, which is definitely a great throwback to Lenzman’s more soulful tracks. Great sampled pianos and guitar with excellent vocals that really brings that vintage vibe. This one is definitely going into my next set. A Sides’ track, Sugar Sweet is an awesomely chill track with a great double bass bassline and strings that is also going into the crate. Finally my last favorite on this is Utah Jazz – Monday Blues, which im not quite sure why anyone would have the blues listening to this song, with its heavy kick that really drives the track along. Overall, there are some really great tracks on this and definitely something to pick up. Its wide range of tracks across the different styles of Drum & Bass will please almost any liquid lover. I really hope to get the chance to check out the Sun & Bass festival since Liquid Drum & Bass on the beach sounds like the perfect combination.

このコンピレーションはすばらしいSun & Bass Festival からそこのホットなトラックのサンプリングと共に届きました。このコンピレーションのトラック全てがすごく好きなのですが、いくつかのトラックにとても心を打たれました。始めはArpXp’s Winter in Sardiniaで、これは残りのアルバムを構成する落ち着いたトラックです。かなり圧縮された見事な低音とピアノ効果は本当にその曲を動かします。次にとても気に入ったのが Lynx & Hellrazor feat. Kemo – How You Move Meです。まったりしたリズムとKemoのボーカルが快いです。そしてChris SU’s Promises、 鮮やかな女性ボーカルとニューロファンクのスペクトルから、多くのスタイルを融合させた連鎖を伴います。Triad feat. Elina Monova – Persistenceまでいくと、 そのダークなベースラインとそれに輝きを与えるElinaのヴォーカルに魅了されました。Calibreから、Peace Organへと素晴らしいトラックが続きます。オルガンがメインで使用されている曲をあまり聴いたことがありませんが、これはとても良かったです。これは私達をLenzman – Diamondsへと連れて行きます。これは、確実にLenzmanのソウルフルなトラックへ舞い戻りです。 素晴らしいサンプリングのピアノとギターそして、優れたヴォーカルはとてもヴィンテージな感じをもたらします。これは絶対に私の次のセットに入れます。 A Sides’、 Sugar Sweetはすばらしいダブルベースのベースラインが印象的な落ち着いたトラックで、これもまたプレイリストに入れます。終わりに、最後に気に入ったのがUtah Jazz – Monday Bluesで、which im not quite sure why anyone would have the blues listening to this song, with its heavy kick that really drives the track along. Overall, there are some really great tracks on this and definitely something to pick up. Its wide range of tracks across the different styles of Drum & Bass will please almost any liquid lover. I really hope to get the chance to check out the Sun & Bass festival since Liquid Drum & Bass on the beach sounds like the perfect combination.

Kasper Does It Again

Kasper has yet again released a great mashup of some classic hip hop and drum & bass. This time it’s Blackstreet – No Diggity. Awesome work!

 

No Diggity – Blackstreet (Kasper Bootleg) by Kasper (Drum and Bass)

Reminds me of the classic remix by Teddy Riley included on the LP, with the exception that Kasper gave it that extra presence that it needed.

Kasperがまたしても、クラシックヒップホップ・ドラムンベースの見事なマッシュアップをリリースしました。
今回はit’s Blackstreet – No Diggityです。 素晴らしい作品です!

 

No Diggity – Blackstreet (Kasper Bootleg) by Kasper (Drum and Bass)

カスパーが必要とされた特別な存在感を与えたという例外を除いて、LPに含まれるテディライリーのクラシックリミックスを思い出させます。
