The Ukrainian techstep producer Forgiven Soul presents his debut album on the label, co-written together with Offish. Second half of the release features remixes from three jungle wizards - Rez, No_Name and K3Bee.
• TRIBAL SPIRIT starts out with slow, hypnotic percussions, evolving and building up until it peaks at the very end. Our main idea behind this track was building short piece using mostly non-western instrument samples, hence the title.
• FROZEN PATH stands out as highlight of the release with its prominent midrange stabs that laid foundations for the whole track to be built upon, together with dramatic female vocals reverberating behind the synths.
• MUTAGEN TANKS has noticeably increased tempo and introduces different approach to basses - periodic, loud screeches tearing through entire frequency spectrum in between sharp, driving drums.
• OUT OF DARKNESS is straight-to-the-point amen break action, hinting more at modern jungle track rather than drum & bass. It got primarily inspired by the haunting voice samples that keep echoing through most of the track.
• THE ORDER OF WHISPERS was the first project we worked on together and instantly decided to follow up with more tracks. Because of its combination of atmospheres and pads, the sound palette turned out a little brighter than rest of the album.
• WORLD IN CRIMSON at its core is an odd mixture of samples from older drum & bass, hip-hop and reggae tunes, transforming them all into a new, cohesive piece.
• INVERSE ELEMENT temporarily eases out the pace with less aggressive halftime drums, focusing more on enhancing the general mood of the album.
• POSSESSED BODIES jumps between different patterns, switching from usual two step beat to freeform jungle rhythms over period of just few bars. Our aim was to make something intense, hence why main parts of the track barely have any pauses or downtime.
• FROZEN PATH REMIX takes alternative route from source track, steering it into territory of glitched out drums and uneven rhythms. The main synth pattern gets also replaced with fresh new sounds.
• OUT OF DARKNESS REMIX is brilliant showcase of Rez's mastery at working with breakbeats and being able to transform the mood of original into something even more sinister and unpredictable.
• THE ORDER OF WHISPERS REMIX focuses primarily on pushing the drums to their limit with multiple intricate layers stacked on top of each other. The percussive elements match well with background pads from the original track.
• WORLD IN CRIMSON REMIX reworks the title track completly into bassdrum-driven halftime tune with less focus on midrange basses.
• ISOMETRA is something experimental and eclectic we decided to include as the last track on the album, adding just a bit more storytelling to the release as a whole.

No filler. Timeless shit.
Absolutely love the Photek-isms on Notice The Reverse and the Mentasm workout on Beat Down Babylon.
I don't buy much music these days but have rinsed the hell out of this guy's tunes on Spotify so had to support. Some of the best dnb I've heard in years. Hell, some of the best music I've heard in years. Forecast (4CST)
