Might be of interest to a few of you guys:

It???s war dub time again, and this time make sure you???ve got an Amen break handy.

From what we can gather, it???s Keysound jungle revivalist Sully who???s responsible for this one ??? he posted his dub a few days ago, and demanded a response from Epoch and Etch, who both took the bait [Update: it's been brought to attention that Epoch actually started it, not Sully]. Etch managed to throw two dubs together and while Epoch???s was on his Soundcloud page for a while, it appears to have been removed now.

Filter Dread and Gantz also got in on the action, as did Mella Dee who hilariously went on an upbeat tip, giving a big nod to the Northern obsession with happy hardcore in the process. Take a listen to a selection of the dubs so far below.

Update: There???s now an Epoch response to, well, everyone.













and a response from Om Unit

    Just the fact that producers are doing this makes me massively chuffed and it sounds like they're having fun.

    dope! I am down...but why the hell are all these tracks so short in length? that first track was killer, but could have been 3 minutes longer imho..

    ^ That's awesome! Really, might be my favorite in the pile.

    I haven't listened to new jungle in over a decade (i think krinjah's angel 12" was the last thing i bought!), and i'm really happy that there's some progressive interesting producers.

    Thanks Ketan!
    it's interesting what happens when positively nothing is at stake except laughs.

    cheers Duderonomy, it was ear and eye melting doing that much that quickly, but a good break (excuse me) from normal tune making.

    Vice covering it also.

    Fucking yes.

    I've been faithfully awaiting the big reeeeewind.

    Been listening to some of the [strike]342[/strike] 344 odd tracks and there's some beauties. This one is brilliant and has a free WAV download:



    Christ this one's evil



    6-Blocc has to press this one:

    really liked the treatment of the break on that earl grey one.
    some good eq, compression etc on there (or he found a nice processed version somewhere!)

    For some reason I was thinking guitar pedal... really nice. I don't have a soundcloud account, but would definitely be pestering him, Dawn Day Night, 6-Blocc, and Osci Dubz to release full versions of their tracks. Plus a longer version of Zimmer Dub wouldn't go amiss ;-)

    I made this mixtape back in 1999 called Beats of Fury that is full of rammin' amens

    I have enabled downloads on my one, but i think i only uploaded a 320.

    I can't imagine stretching that track out much more, I personally think that approach only really lends itself to that skit / spontaneous format.

    No worries, I'm like a kid in a sweetshop just wanting more and more.

    Although this one is rough around the edges, it uses drum breaks differently:

    i did one of these (named for who called me out)



    aaron spectre's is the best tho:
