Don’t Be Afraid label boss Semtek makes his return as DJ Persuasion with a heavyweight remix EP on Ulterior Motives, featuring fresh takes from Dev/Null & Tim Reaper, Ironik and Friske.
DJ Persuasion has built a reputation through mixes that honour the golden era of ’88–’98 jungle and early drum & bass. With Ulterior Motives, he continues his mission to revitalise the raw energy of 90s jungle and happy hardcore, channelling it into both mixes and productions.
Each side of the record contains its own nuances on the dark, unnerving, and erratic pace of the original track. Dev/Null and Tim Reaper bring a spaced-out pairing of intricately designed fast-paced breaks and stripped-back gloomy reese basslines, neatly punctuated by loosely off-beat stabs swimming in delay and reverb. All in all providing an alchemist’s dream of laser-focused rhythm and dub-influenced atmosphere.
‘Moon Blues (Get Ill) (Remixes)’ is out now via Ulterior Motives. Order a copy from Bandcamp
