Will Miles presents a formidable release with his 12" blue vinyl record titled "5 Hands Gang." This captivating album showcases the talents of renowned big room techno producers Paul Atreides and SCRWZ, who skillfully incorporate samples from the legendary Bruce Lee, infusing the tracks with a distinctive kung-fu and martial arts-inspired atmosphere. Additionally, bass music producers Big City contribute a wonky and spaced-out bass track, complemented by iconic samples that add a touch of nostalgia and intrigue to the overall listening experience.
From the moment the needle hits the record, it's evident that "5 Hands Gang" is a sonic adventure unlike any other. Will Miles masterfully executed, blending his signature sound with the high-energy and rhythmic intensity of drum and bass. The integration samples throughout his track adds a layer of excitement and tension, paying homage to the martial arts icon's undeniable influence on popular culture.
One standout track is "Mind," where Paul Atreides and SCRWZ expertly layer relentless beats and pulsating basslines. The carefully curated selection of samples enhances the track's momentum, seamlessly aligning with the hard-hitting percussion to create an immersive experience that will leave listeners feeling invigorated.
Big City's contribution, "Shaolin Spunions," takes the album in a different direction while maintaining the martial arts theme. The track's wonky bassline and atmospheric elements create a sense of otherworldly tension, reminiscent of an intense training montage from a classic martial arts film. The incorporation of recognizable samples serves as an homage to the genre's cinematic roots, drawing listeners deeper into the vividly imagined world of "5 Hands Gang."
Overall, Will Miles' "5 Hands Gang" is an impressive release that caters to fans of both drum and bass and big room techno and bass music. The seamless integration of samples and the martial arts-inspired theme throughout the album give it a unique and captivating edge. Whether you're a fan of intense, high-energy tracks or prefer to lose yourself in wonky basslines and atmospheric sounds, this record offers a little something for everyone. So, grab your turntable, put on the 12" blue vinyl, and allow "5 Hands Gang" to transport you to a world where music and martial arts seamlessly intertwine.
