Right from the onset where the pads are given plenty of time and space to draw you in, it is completely faithful to that mid-90’s SD style. All the trademark break switches and deep 909 sub lines are present, and the palette of sounds are all drawn from those same sources that first inspired the SD sound (as such it is Atmospheric Jungle with a strong Techno persuasion). The finishing touches come from the achingly gorgeous female vocal ad-libs that were also such a trademark of the early, more atmospheric SD tracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHidden Rooms is perhaps even more authentically SD, especially with its focus on arrangement, and the way it uses the selection of samples that are once more drawn from those same Deep Techno sources. The interaction between the rolling curls and cuts of the Apache at the start, and the crisp injection of the Think breaks at the drop comes straight out of the early SD portfolio. The bass drops down super deep underneath the drum work, punctuated by exposed electro hits and well-chosen samples. It is the haunting keys nearly 4 minutes in however that give this track the authentic SD twist more than anything, calling tracks like Fabric Of Space and Made Up Sound very much to mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrifting Through is the final track of the E.P. with its beautifully sharp rolling Hotpants\/Worm combination. This track leaves plenty of space; dubbed out to just breaks and bass for much of the duration, with the occasional injection of an obscure electronic sample, or the sweet vocal ad- libs to hold the tune together. Further down the track there is a touch of the Jazz influence as the Rhodes chords add an extra level of harmonic warmth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLook out for Volume II where we will be returning to the distinctive flavours of the original Mirage releases on Odysee!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odysee Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42483464339612,"sku":"ODYIL001","price":12.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/unnamed_2_62933a08-ca58-49d7-8a48-dc079600429a.jpg?v=1683463812"},{"product_id":"basic-rhythm-blood-trust-blood-rhythm-ep","title":"Basic Rhythm \u0026 Blood Trust - Blood Rhythm EP","description":"\u003cp\u003eCat No: REPRV031\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 15 Sep 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Drum \u0026amp; Bass \/ Jungle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea1.

The influence of these releases on the SD sound that followed has often been overlooked, principally because it was assumed that the ‘Mirage’ moniker was simply another pseudonym for Source Direct, when in actual fact it was a lethal combination of the powerful engineering and arrangement skills of Jim Baker (Source Direct) and the sound selection and co-production of Odysee’s founder, Tilla Kemal (T-Mirage).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFace In The Shadows immediately opens with that slightly darker feel, with tracks like Feel My Dreams and Stonekiller in mind. The trademark SD style of break switches (aptly named ‘call \u0026amp; response) are immediately evident, although the Funky Mule gives the track its primary momentum. The sound selection is eerie, focusing on the 70’s Film-Noire, and deep Electro in line with Tilla’s particular preferences. The spoken word quotes are also unmistakably ‘Mirage-esque.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegenesis is a classic Odysee B-side track; lighter, more experimental and Jazzy in it’s feel. It showcases intricate and crisp rolling break work, and a beautifully refined selection of real stand- out musical quotes; from the sweet R\u0026amp;B-esque vocal ad-libs to the lush 70’s style sleaze of the Rhodes rolls. The interaction of these elements is the glue that holds this tune together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Darkness Within is the final track of the E.P. and it is the arrangement of samples that really emulates the ‘Mirage’ sound. Tilla \u0026amp; Jim were very particular about grouping sounds to work with \u0026amp; answer each other in each section of a tune. Samples were often sourced from obscure Film OST’s or rare electro albums which had sample diggers scratching their heads for many years! This track is dubbed out deeper, with a punching \u0026amp; rolling Soulpride features as the hero break and a repetitive deep chord stab forming the foundation of the tune.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLook out for the final instalment Volume III, where we will be focusing on the dystopian Jazz sound of the Hokusai releases!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odysee Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42625001848988,"sku":"ODYIL002","price":13.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/2_5c01159d-51c7-49b7-b29b-3c4438e05f3e.jpg?v=1692614014"},{"product_id":"sub-oscillator-ii-ep","title":"Sub Oscillator - II EP","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: VFS053\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 14 Mar 2025\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Hardcore \/ Hardcore Techno \/ Breakbeat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea1.
