Loxy & Resound - Overlook - Code Of Honour 'Bravery' on Samuri Red Seal www.catapult.co.uk HERE
The Courage Bravery virtue of the Bushido
is represented firstly by Metalheadz, Renegade Hardware, Exit, &
Cylon Recording artists Loxy & Resound. Following their 'League Of
Shadows' single for Samurai these 2 giants of the deep and tribal come
with a totally different approach on Tropopause. Effortlessly funky with
shades of the golden years of Drum and Bass, 'Tropopause' rolls and
rolls with a flexed out b line and perfect percussion. Newcomer Overlook
takes control on the flipside, stepping in with subtle menace, and
winding the tune out until it unravels itself to become a rollicking,
tribal infused slab of aural delight. In the bushido code, courage or
“Yuki” means that you posses the courage or the bravery to accept life
and the challenges that can come with it, but with a resolute and moral
mind.

Jimmy Edgar - Sex Drive on Hotflush Recordings at
www.catapult.co.uk here -
Futuristic-funk starchild Jimmy Edgar
returns with the third single to be taken form his recent album
‘Majenta’ out earlier this year on Hotlfush. This time Edgar shoves is
free-spirited sexual appetite in your face, with a slice of
stripped-down, upfront electro-funk complete with J.G. Ballard-inspired
lyrics of car-crash sexual fetishism. Alongside the original album cut,
two alternate takes are reworked by a pair of producers at the very top
of their game: Jon Convex and John Talabot. Whilst Talabot creates an
eerie and downright epic re-imagining through his combination of
Amazonian electronics and volume manipulation, the Convex cut enhances
the dance floor potential of the original with bubbling, arpeggiated 303
bass.
