'The second 2016 instalment of the Strictly Nuskool Blog is out now and once again available on free download. This time we are proud to present you a Jungle friendly 5track EP by UK's Drum & Bass/Jungle producer FOTH (a.k.a. Fool On The Hill)
FOTH has already released tracks on various labels like Dark Til Dawn Records, Ransaked Records, Bill Up Recordings, Beatroot Records, Digitr@x, Liquid Dreams Recordings, Fuelled By, Peng Selection and this new EP is a strong proof and clear usage of his style representing the Nuskool movement of Jungle!
You may read some following words from him, about this new release as well as track-by-track quick review...
" As with a lot of my music, the 'Foreverhard EP' is an experiment of sounds. Although I am predominantly jungle/drum & bass based, I grew up with all the old rock music & my tastes have developed greatly - I like a little bit of everything really.
I guess I always wanted to create a new sound when I first got into producing music & I feel there are definitely some new vibes amongst this EP.
'Foreverhard' displays my passion for sampling movies with the fight scene from the classic 'Friday', mixed with a dark synth, some gritty sub & some thrashy breaks which leads to 'Around'. Here I have created a nice mellow feeling with a spacious synth, mixed with a clip from an interview with Jimi Hendrix. The beat might throw you off at the start, imagine a house beat, restricted by the size of the bar, suddenly breaking free & becoming into a light jungle rhythm, taking you high amongst the clouds.
There's really not much to say about 'Wicked Mathematics' - as soon as I heard it on the deck, I had to remix it. Lately I've been playing around with some techno styles which you will hear in this EP.
Next we come to 'Frogs' which is titled so because I recorded the frogs in my garden last summer and used it in this track, along with a recording of me playing breaks for a few bars, & other drum hits & bass! It actually didn't make it to a previous EP because it just didn't fit with the vibe; so I held it back & waited for the right moment to come a long.
'Cosmic Clutter' is for the stompers, with its jungley trancey technoey sound.
Now we reach the end of the EP - 'I'm Hardcore' will wind you down & put you in a positive place; listen as John Bonham's classic drum break from the classic 'Rock & Roll' by Led Zeppelin, plays on loop, accompanied by a heavenly atmosphere, now Erick Sermon & Redman joining us with some tight rhymes throughout the track. A footwork beat works itself in, slowly taking over & gently fading out.
I really hope you enjoy the 'Foreverhard EP' & will be interested to hear what you think about it. Massive respect to all at the SNB & all of you for your support so far. One love!" '
