The sentiments of simplicity can last a lifetime, just like one plus one equals two. These detailed, intriguing mixes benefit from straightforward unravelling of gravitational fear - steady pulses of dance music - regulated with tiny, harmonic and assuring timbral details that are complex to the ear at first - through a energetic and stable trance and techno style - and keep their posture interesting and steady. There are rarely lapses of concentration in dance floor tracks. 'Hayling Remixes' safely stands up through a deceptive post Underworld intrigue: quality tracks, and as Carbon Based Lifeforms wrote as a track title: held together by gravity.

It sure is good knowing dnb labels like Metalheadz. The Blue Note, Speed and Raindance era of clubs and crossover raves kept a label with a friendly sound, appreciated by heads enjoying the dance, just as with these Vip [very important person] mixes, basslines that drew many to the jungle and dnb genres after continuums branched out, with a history of dubs, British ghetto blasters - brilliantly adapted to the times.

Bandcamp DL Poster Print

Classical music, from sources, although with a solid fan base since the millennium year, is a word that is tied to the rhythm of adversity. Modern classical, neo classical, post classical, can give the technical thought of a non hectored continuum - a progression based upon a digression, sounds relevant to something, so they say something - but are sounds that sometimes contrast, rather than compliment. Ambience and classical records, although commonly sold in the United Kingdom [UK], are objectively thought of as strange objects - ambient and classical are rarely viewed to go together. Antonymes 'Beauty Becomes The Enemy Of The Future', released in 2009 as a CD Photos and artwork artifact book, has tones and textures that, although connecting beauty and nemesis subjectifications in part and parting in sound, is a example of looking back so that the future becomes a friend of the present. 

Bandcamp writes: 

'Antonymes music emerges through the adjustments and erasures where music addresses nothing but itself, from the relationship between continuity and repetition rather than of contract and interplay, from secrecy, from quietness, from pause, from thought, from emptiness, from time, from far off, from itself, from where it is set and from where it is setting off to.'

The netherworld of jungle music promises many good nights. Club nights, raves, rave clubs. Along the way, peace, love, unity, respect - and sometimes, harmony.

Klute released records on Certificate 18 label in the 1990s, diverting track intentions into music that nobody had ever heard before. Although many jungle and dnb producers and DJs also shared that thought, Klute's Override project, releasing before the millennium, points to a black Hole in the jungle turned drum n bass scene.

With these non elliptical tracks, Klute recognised very early that dnb producers released many tracks under many names. Freshening the vibes was one reason - after the millennium, Klute pioneered a area of the dnb scene - online at least - as an artist pool, called A Bunch Of Cuts; prioritised for boundary pushing dnb from the likes of Trevino [Marcus Intalex of M.I.S.T [with St.Files], Calibre [with a ruff variation of the Fabio 'liquid funk' style] and many more dnb producers that knew the score, but would rather rambunctiously rewrite it. 

Writing as Override, where the tempos and mystery of jungle combine, these 1995-1997 singles recreate jungle through liquid funk but sound nothing like those stylee, rare tracks such as 'Pac 3', at the time, attracted interest from the Ninja Tune label, home hearted by producers including the also able-brained drum fiend Amon Tobin. Collecting fourteen tracks compiled for Bandcamp, Klute records here do not show off just like the 'Chocolate Lovely' - rather, they hypnotise with a sweet Centre like no club or rave in current circulation.

If Solar Fields collaborated with Meat Beat Manifesto and
Muslimgauze, they might conjure a dystopian sorcery like this. Where ambient trance feels even more important 
than the idea of chamber techno, buzzing like a wasp on a
mission, with neoclassical armoury variegating a fell
stinger.
