Naphta's long awaited debut album finally hits the shelves. Purposely rooted in the source music that inspired the original sample-heavy Junglistic blueprint back in 1993/‚94, this album offers a selection of ruff cuts that draws on reggae, dancehall, funk, soul and hip hop. This strictly limited co-release with Ruff Revival is available on to buy on CD directly from The Fear, or from Road Records in Dublin.
"...resurrects the art of the dancehall loop, but strings a whole series of post-drum 'n' bass devices into the mix of this debut set..." - WIRE Magazine
"...a fascinating revisionist account of junglism, arguing that jungle was much more than we’ve been told, and sold, in recent years." - FACT Magazine
"Naphta knits it all together with an obsessive fer vour, strafing between hardcore brukkouts and smoking steppers, constantly twisting into familiar yet surprising shapes and modes, this is definitely no formulaic ragga jungle rehash gash." - Boomkat Album of The Week
“...a genuine attempt to reinstate some of those Junglist vibes, rhythms and attitude at the core of drum and bass culture..” - Warpmart Album of The Week
“...anyone who wants to hear someone who's actually managed to do the impossible and go all the way back to the foundation ethics of sample based breakbeat music and deliver a fresh take on it is going to lap this right up.” - Slick DJ Magazine Album of The Month
"If you're only going to buy one drum 'n' bass album this
decade, it should be this one." - Woofah magazine
"This album isn't a homage to the days when Drum and Bass was exciting, vibrant, experimental, melodic, intricate, tongue in cheek....IT IS exciting, vibrant, experimental, melodic and all the other great things drum and bass at it's best can be." - Irish Drum and Bass |
