Can't Go Back
Theres only one way to do nostalgia in this game: crafty creative references executed with forward-thinking contemporary techniques. Cue: Austin & Vinyl Junkies Cant Go Back. A bright n breezy brainchild of three rave veterans, it acknowledges every nuance of our scenes rich roots and influences while staring point blank into the future. Whether your journey began in 89, 99 or 09, every element of this huge vocal smasher will resonate with you Rachel Wallaces soul-stirring vocals, spine-surging Baby D-style synths and subs, sharp, super-slamming breakbeats and on-point heavyweight production techniques: Its a winning combination from a team whove been playing the rave game since day one. Austin and Rachel both earned their stripes on the legendary Suburban Bass imprint while Vinyl Junkies hard work with every rave brand and his own Warehouse Wax speaks for itself. Remix-wise all thirsts are quenched with concentrated rave refreshment. Sanxion leads the charge with a bass tsunami that swells with breakbeat thunder before dropping into an acute halfstep and bass workout with switch-flipping glee. Elsewhere we find West Country bass baron Cottonmouth laying the halfstep smack down with more drama than three b2b Eastenders omnibuses. Primed with sizzling synth hooks, this is guaranteed to raise a lighter or 10 on your next floor. Hungry for some wholesome air piano action? Then look no further than Maximus Baxters remix. Smelting classic piano heroics with nagging Mad Decent style mid-range riffery at a cool 130BPM, its a stunning example of future fusion. Dom Almond, meanwhile, will feed your fix for stomping 4/4 action. Uncompromising and unabashed, its the ultimate peaktime bullet with the perfect balance of trance and electro elements, underpinning by a weighty, infectious rhythm. Last but definitely not least, Held 2 Ransom boss Strange Rollers steps up and hosts a sterling Future Jungle masterclass. Delivered with a muscular dynamic, the skippy breakbeats, lush synths and Rachels powerful vocal build to an overwhelming crescendo allowing the epic pianos to take the lead once again. Six nods back to raves glory days Six reasons why the scene is still in exceedingly capable hands. Theres no going back, but with players like the Warehouse Wax crew onside, theres no need to go back!
