│ RELEASE INFO │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│ │
│ Luke æWagonchristÆ Vibert at long last returs to Rephlex (his │
│ first release for the label was over 10 years ago kids!) and │
│ delivers 4 excruciatingly good nu-hardcore (there goes the │
│ microgenre) cuts to mess with yo heads. Dropping in with │
│ æStarbase OneÆ, no messing about and straight for the jugular │
│ with breakbeats rassed up to the bassbin max, and basslines so │
│ heavy theyÆd be impossible to lift. At 180 bpm this isnt for the │
│ faint hearted, yet neither is it as full on as the recent AFX or │
│ Bug releases, more like an updated æDrum ænÆ Bass for PapaÆ (one │
│ of thebest DÆnÆB album ever!). The heavy and sharp beats are │
│ backed by the catalogue of samples that Vibert favours, and nice │
│ Rhodes samples deliver that atmosphere so prevalent on his Plug │
│ releases. But, its down to the bassline on this track, reminding │
│ me of DJ HypeÆs heavier jump up moments a la Super Sharp │
│ Shooter, it takes the track to another level, and keeps it dark, │
│ outrageous. Secondly the aptly titled æAmentalÆ delivers its │
│ title in true form, spannered Amen cut ups mix with the spooky │
│ swooping synths and a spaced out ragga vocal that drags me back │
│ to 92-93 and the advent of the Kemet crew and ragga jungle. The │
│ edits are superbly placed and that quirky Vibert from Big Soup │
│ returns with some crazy samples and wild percussion lines that │
│ layer under the plethora of samples and synths to give a mish │
│ mash sound that is perfect for these tracks, too good. Flip for │
│ the straight up gangster jungle of æ100001 StyleÆ, plenty of │
│ ragga samples, æSpecial Request SoundbwoyÆ, and a parody of the │
│ infamous Altern 8 sample æWatch yer bassbins, im telling youÆ │
│ rolling over the top. The track mashes beats and bass even to │
│ the break where a half step hip hop beat runs underneath with │
│ the dark bassline creeping up and then hits full mentalism for │
│ the run up to the end, heÆs a mad bwoy our Vibert. Lastly, the │
│ operatic start to æFast and BulbousÆ and the techno kiks make it │
│ stand out, a weird beginning to a track so heavy on the edits im │
│ still discovering things after 4 listens, and finishing the │
│ track with a (shhh!) Captain Beefheart sample is an apt way to │
│ end what is some of the best work ever by Luke Vibert. First │
│ installment of 5 planned releases - truly unmissable. │

│ TEAM INFO / CONTACTS │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│
│ soup was founded in early 2002, with the intention of releasing
│ the hip-hop, trip-hop, lo-fi and turntablism that has been slept
│ on by other groups. We're a small, friendly group with a real
│ passion for our music, who're fed up of the overly competitive,
│ elitist and aggressive attitude of certain groups.
│
│ We are currently looking for:-
│ - Suppliers
│ - Rippers
│ - Siteops (that are willing to affiliate us)
│
│ If you think you have something we need, drop us an email.
│
│ soup extend greetings and thanks to everyone at NuHS, CQi and all
│ other groups who care about the music and the scene.
