Loop EP by Sknit [Vinyl + Digital]


At the end of May, the established footwork/bass label Polish Juke released their first material in over a year, surpassing expectations with a standout offering from local rave footwork prince Dubsknit. He is one of the most active figures within the Polish bass scene for the last 15 years, better known of his We Rob Rave action, a co-creator of the Krakow crew dobrebity.pl, crafting also beats for various artists such as Wuzet, Wysokie Loty, and MaƂolat. Additionally he's defined as one of the architects of the Polish grime sound (Dzieci Basu).
As an essential member of Polish Juke, he had to offer something special for his personal record so this time under the alias SKNIT he presents 'LOOP' -  a hectic six-track EP.

The EP kicks off with a double-header of 'SLUSH' and 'HEAT' where thick kicks merge with synthetic, roaring sounds and skeletal melodies. Dubsknit’s approach here strips down his infamous lush WRR style, focusing instead on electro-infused, dubby bare bones of dance music. Midway through the record, we dive into ravier territories with the Chicago-esque aesthetics of “FOOSY” and the energetic, beautifully vocal-chopped 'YO FREE'. The peak-time bomb 'BLOOD', a collaboration with his WRR mate PZG, is set to be a crowd and DJ favorite. The EP concludes with the halftime-leaning, euphoric 'I COULD LOVE' showcasing SKNIT’s mastery in working around vocals, reminiscent of his hits in the We Rob Rave/Dubsknit realm.

Regarding his WRR affiliation, there is a new WRR album in the pipeline including 19 killers. 'WE ROB RAVE X' will come out in August and you can check out some sneak previews here.



The 'LOOP' EP by SKNIT comes out digitally and on a limited number of 10" vinyl copies - Available via Bandcamp.

We Rob Rave as summer navigators

 


" Let us take you on a journey through the beaches and palms of the best and wildest summer. We will make sure that all your musical needs are taken care of and that you will have a pleasant stay at We Rob Rave Island." - We Rob Rave
This quote is taken from the latest, and ninth so far, album by the Polish duet We Rob Rave. The boys have been showing a prolific energy the last couple of years, unleashing some fabulous tracks that expose their rank within the underground.

This 9th digital album introduces a strictly summer topic on a new ravey island, hence it's release date that is mid of August. This musical new weapon encourages all listeners to go to the beach and either spend some chilling time or bang on the hard clubbish rhythms. These vibes will revoke memories from the late 90s trance and house classics, till the final track which had to be dealing with the renowned greek paradise, so from the anthemic 'Greece 2000' by Three Drives, they switched to the apocalyptic 'Greece 2049'.

Back then, there were people like Christopher Colombus, Marco Polo and Vasco da Gama but to name a few, who discovered new areas and the new world. But wow things look different as the 21st century belongs to people who explore and experiment with new genres and navigate rave sounds under their own wings. As high as it can get, the boys played fair during this summer and WRR 9 comprises one of the greatest nu-rave soundtracks of 2023.

Suck Puck Recordz presents the second album of Melt Unit

 



The Aussie old dog returns with some brand new material...
...that kicks in the nads!

This seems to be the perfect time to revel madly by the sounds of rave footwork made from a poster child who's reppin this sound ideally among acts suck as We Rob Rave, Samurai Breaks etc.
It took almost 7 years since his debut 'Get Melted' album on Cock Rock Disco and things have changed quite a lot from that time. The genius like Melt Unit has joined the Cock Rock Disco team and now he's very proud to unleash his second album through the mighty Suck Puck Recordz. An album which comes simultaneously with his European tour!

Driven by his inimitable style, Melt Unit goes 'Too Melted' with 8 fresh belters plus a remix made on a track by PZG (one half of We Rob Rave). 


"Blending hardcore into footwork jungle, ‘Too Melted’ is exactly as it sounds, too far. It pushes the sound way further than you probably should go, probably way further than DJ friendly. The one thing I’ll say is, Melt Unit is at least unique. Definitely no half measures, and no pulled punches. It will either be the progenitor of a new genre, or go the way of the breakcore dinosaurs. The album has already been described as ‘crazy’, ‘too intense’, and ‘tenebrous’. One things for sure, if you like some Gabber in your Jungle, or ravey synths in your footwork, you can melt at home with one easy payment of whatever you like." - Suck Puck Recordz


The album comes out digitally or on a USB Flash Drive with bonuses:
  • Stems for Get Melted tune
  • Stems for Switch tune
  • Renoise XRN project for Hard Man fi Dead tune
  • Renoise XRN project for Speedwork
  • Stickers

PREMIERE:: Polo Lilli - Three Inch Punch [WORKS Records]

 

 

Strictly Nuskool Blog premiere of 'Three Inch Punch' by the Bristolian Polo Lilli , forthcoming on WORKS Records.



WORKS Records is a Bristol based label for dance music at around 160bpm.
Founded by the creators of online community Half-time // Slow/fast & club night WORKS; GOLDMAN, DJ Jonco and DJ Lazergun, the label is similarly dedicated to pushing Footwork, Juke, Jungle, Hardcore, & everything in between. The label's goal is to exhibit the varying global sounds of these styles of music, whilst retaining the futurist vision set out by the originators of these genres.

With previous releases from Chicago Footwork legend Traxman and recently Italian modular powerhouse Sickarone, we are really excited to welcome breakbeat bootleg king POLO LILLI to the label. These tracks were originally short 1:30 long wardubs as part of our 2nd online tournament in 2021, and are not only the most played tracks on our Soundcloud, but also his two most sought after dubplates.

His tracks have received support from some of the biggest names in the UK scene, such as Mixtress, Naina & the Daytimers crew to name a few, and his recent bookings supporting Fracture and Kush Jones certainly show the man is one to watch for 2022 and beyond.

Mutants are back! Grab now the new EP by We Rob Rave

 


The teenage mutant ninja..Junglists from Poland are back in town.
We Rob Rave. The infamous badboy duet of PZG & Dubsknit among their profusion of dirty basslines of wizdom, improvise again to showcase some unbounded mutant jungle bits and pieces.
For those who are famished and have a little gap right after the WRR 6 album. For anyone who's still not aware of these Polish nutters. And most of all, for any new producer who has a life-long dream to make tracks like these.

"Welcome to a new electric EP!
Starting out with "Almodovo", footwork influenced dancefloor puncher, hitting hard with classic LFO bassline, you wish you knew We Rob Rave earlier.
Switching in the mood a little, "Surrender" brings more ambiental, more storytelling vibe to the mix. While not the ruffest track on the EP, definitely not the one to dismiss.
After emotional adventures, we go right back to leg-breaking tracks. "Ice groove" kicks off any party that needs fast breaks and classic stabs, even more, classic polish 80s samples.
Finishing off, "Mutations" brings balance to the force with hard hitting 'Think' break and gnarly bass sliding through deep atmospheric melodies.
Mutation started, come with me, come with us."



'Sweat Like You Mean' is the title of their new digital weapon and as you've read above it's the beginning of the mutation. What shall we expect for WRR 7 then??

Maxee Gee - Me And Ma Flava EP

 


Moscow based GWR returns with a super weapon of contemporary Junglistic inspired vibes.
Four new tracks by Maxee Gee on a personal EP that closed 2020 with even more hot prospects for this brand new year.

"Tune “For Real” was banging around for some time pleasing people with its intelligent vibe and easy footwork flow. “Gyal” is a way more powerful footwork-jungle tune with heavy amen drop and mystical brain-cracking synths. Tunes “Junglist Girls” and “Kotorayashot” are straight forward good old style ragga-jungle business to make the crowd go wild and smash the dancefloor."

Available to grab it now and get familiar with the Russian underground vibes!
