DJ KI Selection June 2023
Ecletic turntablist and a vinyl addict, the year of 1998 was the year Dj Ki discovered the Jungle and drum'n'bass beats but was only in 2003 that started to spin and scratch records. 20 years passed and Dj Ki feels privileged and honored that had the opportunity to play in many venues, festivals, events in Portugal and abroad along with so many local heroes and international legends.
Various – Black Riot, Early Jungle, Rave and Hardcore | Soul Jazz Records
Let’s start from the beginning.
If you want to know the basics of Jungle, Hardcore and Rave, this is a “must have” record.
Raw material right here!
Various – Who Say Reload Volume 1 | Velocity Press
Let’s keep telling the story.
These wonderful crates were able to compile perfectly the culture and the variety of sounds of it.
Featuring powerful anthems from jungle, passing through old-school jump up, ending in atmospheric vibes.
Various – Who Say Reload Volume 2 | Velocity Press
Each one of them deserve a reload in deed because “when the sound sounds nice, we play it twice!”
Blade – Prototype EP | Vibez 93
A beautiful pink marble vinyl with 4 great “new Jungle” tracks with a “liquid” touch.
Prototype definitely my favorite track.
Last Life – Tensor EP | Samurai Music
Half-step heavy weight right here to release the demons!
Slacker – Damage to be Undone | Soft Raw
A proof that electronic music can turn into true music composition. The sound of the breaks sound like real drums. Perhaps they are.
Unknown Artist – Da License EP | As We Enter
Jungle in deed is living a magnificent rebirth and this record is the piece of evidence of that come back.
The soul is there but the beats are impeccably crystal clear.
Tommy The Cat – Stargazer EP | Vibez 93
Four Atmospheric beats for your soul. Perfect!
Wardown – Wardown II | Blu Mar Ten Music
Everything in this record is a piece of art. Beautiful artwork, pristine sounds with a powerful message. A record to keep.
Scale – Take off EP | Multitone Recordings
Another example of how real the drums and snares sound on this one making the breaks sound alive. Masterpiece!
Pushlock – Journey at the End of the Brain
There are some records that you cannot categorize and this is one of those.
Abstract, raw, experimental.
Limit / Asymmetric / If Read – Dissymmetrical Vinyl 06
I totally fell in love with this record. It has all the ingredients that made me into jungle and drum’n’bass. It has ambience, it’s spatial, it has groove and it’s jazzy.
