Press release:
I am very pleased to announce the final tracklisting for the upcoming second release on Repetitive Beats, 12RB002 -- the "Into The Woods EP"! Joining us this time around are three well-respected names in the hardcore breaks scene; Sharkfin Records head honcho Simon Holmes, Finnish breakbeat masters Nervous+Anxious, and KFA Records nutter yet all-around nice guy DJ Deluxe!
Starting things off, we have yours truly DJ Purity Control with the title track "Into The Woods", a claustrophobic piece of darkness carved out of a nightmarish jungle techno template, with utensils such as eerie horror movie samples, dark synths, a subsonic bassline, cut-up and layered classic breakbeats, and a rave-stab filled breakdown. The second track on the A-side, "Don't Look Back" comes to us from Simon Holmes of Sharkfin Records, and as usual he's crafted a sublime track, filled with melancholy and wistfulness. Clever use of an Opus III sample mixed with ragga chants, and a chattering controlling breakbeat gives way to a solo piano line aimed at triggering those long lost memories.
On the flipside, the Finnish production team of Nervous+Anxious that's best known for their piano heavy anthems for labels such as Enormous Mouse and Hardcore Projektz turn in their first ever pure darkside track entitled "Twisted Mental", and what a stunner it is -- moody strings and hoovers envelop you in a world of darkness before being assaulted with a heavily punctuated Apache break, and the latter half of the track sees some seriously intense 303 action going on. Finally, the release is rounded out with DJ Deluxe's unstoppable Star Wars sampling "Bad Feeling" -- a track that so utterly defies classification that a new name must be coined in order to accurately describe it -- and that name is "Barry-Core". Yes, DJ Deluxe's track is the very first Barry-Core tune. Supremely dark, dirty, and filthy, this track takes all the best parts of inspiration from yesteryear and mashes them together into 152 BPMs worth of in your face rawness.
As is what we hope becomes standard practice for Repetitive Beats, the first 100 copies will be limited editions that are pressed on colored vinyl, and this time around it will be a black and red "blood-splattered" edition. If you've seen the LEs of the first release... well, it won't look like that, but it'll still look pretty damned wicked! So be sure to get those preorders in early -- and you can do just that at our ordering page right here ! We are hoping to have test presses ready to go by the end of this month, and the full pressing shortly thereafter in mid-March.

Press release:
The first release on US-based hardcore breaks & jungle techno label Repetitive Beats is a four-track EP from label owner Chris Purity aka DJ Purity Control, and is a throwback to the sinister sounds of '93 styled darkside hardcore. Drawing upon influences from artists such as Bizzy B, Dave Charlesworth, Tango & Ratty, and Jack Smooth, this EP is a firm declaration of the label's dedication to the darker side of breakbeat-based music. The first 109 copies were pressed on limited edition marblized black+blue vinyl, and are now mostly sold out, but a few are still available -- check the Repetitive Beats ordering page for more information.
