Cat: DREADUK 49. Rel: 21 Mar 22
Drum And Bass/Jungle
First unveiled on dubplate 25 years ago, 'The Dark Soldier' has long been one of Ray Keith's most celebrated tunes - a game-changing D&B classic that also lent its name to the DJ/producer's fine 2021 memoir. Here it gets a new set of celebratory remixes to tie in with Keith's recent career retrospective box set. Critical Impact handles the A-side, adding a little more rhythmic complexity and squally electronic melodies while retaining Keith's warped, brain-melting bassline and creepy chords. The flipside Alcamist remix steps things up further, with a more jazz-flecked post-jungle rhythm underpinning an even wilder mutation of the bassline, echoing vocal snippets and slivers of foreboding melody. Two fine updates of a must-have classic.
