Phabiaz lands on Jungle Pride Recordings
Share
Jungle Pride Recordings is a new label from Turin, Italy. Its main objective is to promote the many facets that the Drum & Bass universe has developed over the years.
Their second release comes from Fabio Del Galdo, who is a member of the Jazzatron duo and music producer under various pseudonyms like LTNCY. For Fabio’s latest project he is putting out releases for the Jungle Pride Recordings label under the name Phabiaz.
Opening up the release is ‘Caroline Series’ which is a strong roller track with a deep bassline and few rhythmic additions. The track kicks off with a distant snare together with a synth pad which then introduces heavy surgical drums and pulsing subs.
The second track and our premier for today is ‘Dark Matter’. Between the two tracks, ‘Dark Matter’ is definitely the darker one. The gritty bassline that marks out the song enriches itself with harmonic variations that develop over the track sections. The light and clappy drums blend with the bassline and the dynamic sound design features of the track.
Jungle Pride Recordings believes that an original junglist needs to follow a balanced diet to stay healthy. Hence they will have a release every month with different style influences, irrespective of what the present-day trends are. This is something I’ve become a fan of in recent times. I really respect the labels who don’t pigeon hole themselves by releasing a particular sound or style but mix it up. After all, we all love all the different styles, don’t we?
