Second volume of contemporary hardcore and jungle dubs from new face Innercore Project. Volume 1 left us giddy and elated, so we were hoping volume 2 possesses that same sweaty gurn that made it so appealing. Thankfully we weren’t disappointed!
Jungle heavy from the off, "Rollers Session" makes excellent use of the classic Akai time stretch function (copied on a plethora of hardware and software since then) - stretching and warping a selection of vox snips across deep bass and various breakbeats for a skitty, ADHD-friendly jungle roller of epic proportion.
"Soul Soother" eventually deploys some smiley faced pianos to proceedings; along with more skilful time stretching, 'nuff 'pump up the bass' samples and a lost female vocal from the rave years - this is that '92 flavour perfectly executed by our man Innercore.
"Murda Tune" returns to classic jungle stylings with an fierce energy and an incessant barrage of breaks; we get a neon purple synthline cutting through the chaos while the buzzsaw bass rumbles on. Sound bwoy!
"Full Effect Posse" sees another day-glo mashup. Utilizing the vocal from Brothers In Rhythm (or CharVoni / Incognito)'s "Such A Good Feelin" / "Always There" (depending on how old you are), Innercore smashes another sick piano line over the top; adds trouser shaking bass and some nice rewind samples for another hands-in-the-air stadium shattering masterpiece that seems all the rage in clubland right now. It's even got a hoover breakdown!
Top retro rave stylings from this producer. This is volume 2 - be sure to check volume 1 also!
