Originally from Long Island, NY, SVS has been playing around
in Kansas City since mid-2000, playing different types of
music over that time and finally settling on Jungle &
DnB and pushing the limits of that since. Here's his picks
for the month!
Mason / Task Horizon : Lucifer /
Lose Myself : Cymbalism Recordings : CYMBLTD003
Mason destroys all in this Jay-Z remix of Lucifer.
An extremely hardcore dropper with a very nice use of the
lyrics sample. Good creation of a dark grumble of a bass
with whiny Dom synths. On the flip side is Lose Myself.
A well put together synthy dark roller. The perfect track
for a late night with balls.
Barcode Recordings Present : The
Rowdy Time EP : Barcode Recordings : BARCODE004
No hard pounding Hardware double pack is complete
with out the darkest of the dark. Evol Intent does it again
with Horns & Halos. Agents beware of those kicks. With
other cuts by Raiden, Spor, & Chase & Status's Rowdy
Time this compiles for a nice set for the hard headed.
Blackstar feat. Topcat : Champion
DJ / Kunte Kinte : Congo Natty : CONGONATTY5
With the vocals of the legendary Blackstar and the
beats of the legend this whole release is straight ass shaking.
Champion DJ is a nice mixture of Kung Fu and Ragga sound.
Kunte Kinte is a more mellow side. Either track is very
versatile for any time of the night.
G Squad : Woohaa [G Squad 2005 RMX]
/ Bomberclart : White Label : SHIZZLE001
The Busta Rhymes remix is very tasteful and a nice
novelty track to have. Nothing too outstanding with it and
it could have been put together a bit better. The Elephant
Man remix of Bomberclart is on the of best remixes I've
heard of this track. Hard ragga pumps my nads.
Congo Natty : Lose Your Soul /
Rebel Music : Congo Natty White Label : JAHZION4
Jah, dis be it. Ragga soup for the soul, ya. Lose
your soul is a nice reggae undertone track for all the pass
arounds. With the flip side a bit harder, good for when
your out of the rotation lost in the jungle. You be droppin'
it.
