#18 Top Releases in DJ Tools

Opening things up is Arkyn's dark yet soulful Jungle track 'Inna Dance', followed by upfront, pumping 4x4 banger, 'Reckless Daddy' by Minor Science & Seppa. Then comes in some Jungle from Deekline with 'Monkey Flip 'Em', before S.U.R.E. take the reins with their unique signature Rave sound on 'Touch Me'. Tim Clay joins the celebrations with the Rave-led, eclectic 2-step track 'Original Vibe', then suddenly Phorse enters with the potent Trance-tinted Techno power of 'Breaking'. 'Dublin Acid Crew' is a heavy dose of dextrous electronica & Acid from Sharpson & 2step.png, Outselect comes in with some bass-heavy 160 action on 'Dun Kno', and then of course we have Actual's glitchy, rolling, Footwork leaning 'Turn It Up'. Komai brings amen-power with 'Fill In The Blanks', swiftly followed by emotive, yet energy-fuelled Jungle on 'Ohm 1' from Walby. Lewis Aung switches it up with textured and dynamic House-led track D!AMONDS. Then, ending this journey through Rave we have a full Hardcore rinse-out on 'Hardcore Vendetta' by 'Squat Party'.

Back once again with another injection of fresh talent, Hardcore Energy returns with Introducing Vol.6 – a 13-track showcase of producers contorting the underground sound into new and unruly shapes. This series has always been about spotlighting the next wave, and Vol.6 is no exception: a raw, diverse journey across jungle, hardcore, techno and everything in between. KRYM’s ‘Complicated’ kicks things off; a wobbly 4x4 slammer that toes the line between jungle techno and booty bass – full of weight and impossible to ignore. Later, Shirley Temper’s ‘Pulse’ tears through with stab-heavy ferocity, rumbling kicks shaking the floor beneath sharp, percussive edges. And for those who like it deeper, Subject Zero’s ‘TWEETA’ delivers a thundering acid techno weapon. Across the rest of the record, tracks from the likes of Borai, dontforgettogohome, Infekto, Crate Classics, Arkyn, Dom Dolby, Neeketone, 2Peng, Guzi, Serkus and OPR8 keep the energy, each adding its own flavour to a compilation designed to move bodies and test rigs.
