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'.

Coming at you straight from the centre of the rave universe, Doc Zee makes his debut on Hardcore Energy with a sick three track EP. This one is packed with energy and is guaranteed to keep the dancefloor lively. The EP opens with 'Fantazia', which kicks things off with hardcore amen flavours, ravey stabs, as well as spacey FX and snappy vocal chops. Next up is the title track, 'Foolishness'. This one comes through with euphoric chords over a classic breakbeat and a sampled diva vocal adds extra brightness. The third and final track, 'No More Tears', comes through with funky drums, a heavy fuzzed out bassline, contrasted by loved up vocal samples and ethereal pads. Listen up ravers, Doc Zee has laid down a stormin' EP that will have your head spinning and your chest thumping.

#97 Top Releases in Breaks / Breakbeat / UK Bass

Poll Lilli's Hardcore Energy debut is nothing short of gargantuan. 'Deeper Love EP' starts with a gentle warm euphoria that brings the intro of the title track in alongside filtered breaks, and the classic and instantly recognisable, Aretha Franklin 'A Deeper Love' vocal. This has all the components of an oldschool warper, it's crisp, up-to-date production takes you on a trip through to the 90's and back again, with deep textured bass's, classic House pianos, and even a touch of Acid makes it on to this nostalgic anthem. 'Nosebleed 135' has all the characteristics of timeless classic. The melodic Rave, meets Breakbeat Hardcore, meets early Speed Garage track is undeniably catchy, with its soulful vocals, uplifting pianos, and mix of squelchy & reese basslines. Ending the EP with some fast-paced power is the unreal 'Nosebleed 165', a mind-bending voyage through the wormhole. Propelled by rapturous vocal chops and all-encompassing basslines, this energetic journey darts from breakbeats to 4x4 and is an exhilarating end to an exciting, full-throttle EP.
