Jungle/DnB aficionados, rejoice! Subjects, the previously anonymous duo consisting of Deep Jungle label boss Harmony and fellow veteran Modified Motion, are finally stepping out of the shadows after five years of high grade label output. Their hotly-anticipated debut album, “Evolution,” is set to drop on June 16, 2023, and it’s a must-have addition to any die-hard junglist’s record collection.
The 12-track LP is a breaks-laden opus that pays homage to the momentous rave movement of the 90s. It’s a mesmerizing mix of gentle jazz-like melodies and riotous amens that’s sure to leave true-ravers awestruck! From the frantic percussion and hard-hitting subs on “One More Time” to the flanged breaks on “Find Him,” and the smooth piano track “Lost Soul,” “Evolution” showcases jungle throughout the decades with modern twists and turns and a timeless high-calibre feel.
Harmony, whose real name is Lee Bogush, has been releasing music since 1991 for labels like Lucky Spin, Section5, and Moving Shadow. After taking a hiatus in the 2000s, he re-launched Deep Jungle by putting out DATs containing unreleased material from legends like Dillinja, DJ Nut Nut, and Adam F, as well as fresh music from modern jungle artists like Dwarde, Tim Reaper, Kid Lib, and himself. Modified Motion, also known as Anthony John, has built a chart-topping catalogue on the Dynamic Audio label with his innovative approach to drum and bass, which he runs with fellow artist Faction.
What sets “Evolution” apart from other releases is its burstiness and perplexity. The album’s tracks vary in length, complexity, and intensity, making for a dynamic and engaging listening experience. It’s hard to predict what’s coming next, and that’s what makes it so thrilling. With “Evolution,” Subjects proves that they’re a force to be reckoned with in the Jungle scene.
