Current Value Drum & Bass | Jungle 5 Items

The drum & bass heavyweight Current Value finishes up 2016 with his first solo release with the Critical crew since his enormous 'Biocellulose' LP earlier in the year. This time notching up some extreme sounds for Systems, Volume 6 is another iron-clad addition to the series.

Current Value on the neuro funk tip!

Keeping the momentum going following the recent release of Phentix's Pitch Black EP, Cyberfunk turn to a true European heavyweight of the techstep world. Current Value has worked solidly underground with nearly 20 years of production experience under his belt and an album catalogue that stretches into double figures. Having recently made waves with his EP and album on Critical, he brings his corrosive sound to the Cyberfunk stable. Covering 4 tracks and a digital exclusive, Current Value links with label boss Xtrah for opening cut Falsify. A monolithic, gargantuan beast, Falsify shape shifts effortlessly via it's pummeling breaks and buzzcut top line. Espace sees Current Value draw your ears one way with its infectious bounce without you knowing it's an ever growing assault on your aural synapses. Title track Airshift keeps it rolling with tight drum programming and a thundering, gut punching bassline to hold it all in place while Matchfit closes the show with an unrelenting neuro slant, embodying all that is great about tech drum & bass in 2016.Getting a producer with the calibre of Current Value on board as part of the Cyberfunk family shows the ambition Xtrah and his increasingly impressive label have and will continue to keep you guessing with what's coming next. Cyberfunk are definitely closing out the year with a bang.

For our final vinyl release of 2014, we selected two monster tracks that will delight fans of the audio juggernaut better known as Current Value. Maintainer clearly displays why this producer's sound design is so admired and well known. Hard pounding drums, memorable synth hooks and energetic rhythms make up this versatile dancefloor weapon. On the flip is the much anticipated Tremor. A perfect example of what is perhaps considered the apex of Tim Eliot's trademark sound, hard marching drums and metallic percussion coupled with obscure vibes and synthwork, are all part of this memorable anthem by CV.
