White Breaks Frankfurt

"white breaks" was the pcp sublabel for breakbeat, jungle, "happy hardcore" (uk style), early breakcore and drum'n'bass releases.

White I - White Breaks - Volume I

the standout track is "white line" here - deviant hoover intro, then the breaks come in, and we get served with an extremely gritty jungle bassline.
you can't keep your feet still while listening to this!

60 / 100

White II - White Breaks - Volume II

here the standout track is "ho-o". a rave-y dark piano melody is playing while a whirlwind of sounds'n'samples sweeps you away.

White 3 - Steve Shit - Volume 3: Sidekicks

did you know that miro produced breakbeat / breakcore, too? he did, on this label!
the sound reminds me a bit of the early steve shit releases, with a lot of digital fuzz - but the gabber beats have been replaced by noisy jungle beats!

58 / 100

White 4 - Chucky Chunk - Volume 4

the pick for me is "9d5 safari strings". the flip side is underwater uk hardcore.

66 / 100

White 5 - Steve Shit - Volume 5: Tales Of Tits 'N Ass

64 / 100

a "naughty" breakbeat release, who would have expected this?
competent produced jungle / early breakcore frenzy.

White 6 - Steve Shit - Volume 6: Shit's Sidekicks 3

a quite different and solitary production.
jungle / drum'n'bass gets a "reign" style cavernous hall treatment.
experimental and inventive.

75 / 100

WB 7 - Steve Shit - Volume 7: Scorpion

i think miro said somewhere that he considers this to be amongst his most outstanding releases?
understandably so, because we have a very magnificent mélange here:
kotzaak / reign / frozen-level sounds, but done in a drum n bass / breakcore way!
so you get some rather tenebrous melodies, but not with gabber kicks this time, but with broken beats.
extremely recommended!

98 / 100

WB 8 - Steve Shit - Volume 8: Cobra

after the first two bites of the scorpion, the cobra enters the arena now.
this release continues the trend of white breaks 7, and continues it rather well!

White LP 1 - Rudeboy Toones: A Frankfurt Jungle Compilation - Volume 1

as the words say: a compilation of jungle and jungle-adjacent music out of Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
various artists take part in it; and this time it is not merely the PCP crew using multiple aliases.

51 / 100

White LP 2 - Rudeboy Toones: A Frankfurt Jungle Compilation - Volume 2

similar concept to the first lp. the urban jungle madness continues.
