Next Phase Records are proud to welcome Rainforest to the label with this collection of dub-inspired futuristic Drum & Bass. Injecting halftime rhythms with full speed breaks Rainforest creates a refreshing and captivating take on Modern Jungle. Tribal percussion and basslines that swell with an ominous vibrancy help build four distinct visions of the future. Pads are used to enhance this sonic landscape rather than dominate it as menacing synths battle against energetic drum edits. The “Hard Times EP” uses this auditory arena to address current threats that affect our planet, most notably through the use of a vocal sample on the title track pointing out the “injustice, intolerance and huge environmental challenges” facing the globe. With this in mind, the productions still have a real positivity about them stressing the importance of hope and change in a fi ght to change the future. Rainforest has had previous releases on well-respected Drum & Bass labels including Monochrome Recordings, 45Seven, Dysfunk and Omni Music with his “Life On Earth” LP being a highlight of 2017. credits released June 14, 2019 Artwork & mastering by R.
