Junglists Good 2Bad & Hugly return with a fresh offering that's a love letter to the genre's origins while keeping a firm grip on modern production. Their new EP, *New Town Sound Boy V2*, packs three distinct tracks that reflect their deep understanding of jungle music, built on years of experience and passion for the culture.
**Track 1: 'I Made It Through'**
The opener, 'I Made It Through,' dives straight in with relentless breakbeats and a haunting, soulful vocal sample that pulls you from darkness into light. The track showcases classic jungle elements, with a roaring Dub wise bassline and intricate drum patterns weaving through atmospheric synths. It's powerful and reflective, evoking that triumphant energy fans know so well.
**Track 2: 'On The Other Side'**
'On The Other Side' leans into a more experimental 140 style, almost haunting vibe. Eerie, echoing vocal snippets and deep sub-bass with acid elements that give it a ghostly, cinematic feel. The interplay between the layered breakbeats and ghostly pads creates a sense of drifting through space, resonating with the bassline scene's more experimental side. The track's pacing is perfect for deep listening, ideal for both club settings and solo sessions.
**Track 3: 'I Write the Songs'**
Closing the EP, 'I Write the Songs' brings a heavy nod to classic jungle anthems with a unique twist. It opens with a reggae-infused bassline before dropping into an intricate breakbeat rhythm that feels at once nostalgic and innovative. This track feels like a celebration, echoing jungle's roots in sound system culture. The vocal samples add a soulful layer, making it an anthem-like conclusion to the EP.
*New Town Sound Boy V2* is a powerful addition to Good 2Bad & Hugly's catalogue, balancing old-school jungle energy with an eye for the future. Each track tells its own story, with intricate production that'll appeal to both die-hard jungle heads and newer listeners.
