Does this fit in? I know Clent's a footwork producer and all but this doesnt sound like either juke or footwork to me. One of my favourite tracks from 2011

This is a follow up to the Philip D Kick 'footwork jungle' EPs and Machinedrums more footworky tracks:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="musicplayer" name="musicplayer" swliveconnect="true" wmode="transparent" data="http://www.planet.mu/include/player.swf" height="382" width="382">
<param name="swLiveConnect" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="flashvars" value="no=ZIQ313"></object>

This three tracker from the aptly named ‘Dream Continuum’ is a collaboration between Travis Stewart a.k.a. Machinedrum and Jim Coles a.k.a. Om Unit, who was behind the Phillip D Kick 'footwork jungle' tracks in 2011.

The meeting came about when Travis and Jim realised they were working in parallel on the same concept of finding the sweet spot between mid-90’s euphoric jungle and footwork, so naturally they set about working out how to find it together.

The ‘Reworkz EP‘ moves backwards and forwards in time with ‘Be Free’ treating Jungle’s diva samples with footwork pitch bending and repetition while adding huge uplifting chords that capture the euphoria of rave perfectly. It’s then laid over tough, rolling 808 kicks and snares at 160bpm with a carpet of pumping, rhythmic sub-bass resulting in a new hybrid that is both fresh and energetic.

‘Give a Lil Luv’ is, if anything, even more euphoric, like rolling thunder with an intense, melodic use of samples and chord stabs with metallic breaks building into a spiky mesh of rhythms.

On side B ‘Set it’ draws classic dancehall, soul and reggae samples across a perfect mix of fast juke cymbals and jungle amens, each part casually camouflaging the other, tempering footwork’s sometimes intimidating sparseness and filling it with rich, warm and sincere rave energy.

never totally convinced by those first phillip k dick tracks, just sounded like perfunctory footwork, but im def interested in hearing more on that jungle/footwork crossover.

Good mix. Was told that this sort of stuff is being called future jungle by some... sigh :slanted:

Sertone and Laurent Fintoni went b2b on this tip for about two hours here last night. Absolutely amazing hype the whole whole way. Pure melting pot of everything from LA to JA all tied together. The colour of grime, ragga basslines, breakbeats and just the madness of footwork. London and Chicago bouncing off each other, sounding like one thing but different. Like dubstep again with the bass and tempo holding it together but you genuinely don't what will come next on top.


Came in the door to this mad eski click thing at 160 :D. Loads of stuff rejigged at that tempo but it all sounded like something new rather then just familiar samples thrown over new beats. And you got all those slow/fast juxtapositions I talking about on page one, exactly like jungle.

Feels like anything can happen again, very excited

J-Cush (Azizaman) and DJ Manny have done 160 versions of grime, e.g. Wonder and Wiley.

Here is a mix I did of this stuff:

Think they just went b2b because they were on the same bill but definitely worth checking in their own right.

Laurent Fintoni runs Rhythm Incursions . Definitely worth subscribing to the podcast.

Sertone is an Irish producer (and sick dj too I can now confirm), hip hop bits > http://soundcloud.com/sertonemusic

They might have recorded last night. Will throw it up if they have.

I like this stuff. Could we just call it whatchamacallit, though? That actually sounds better than dubstep, funky, yellow, jackin', wonky and all the other possible nuum-variations. (Grime is probably an exception.)
