Force Mass Motion reverts to his old school roots with ‘You’ll Never Be Back’, a new two-track EP on his self-titled label.
It is fair to say that Force Mass Motion is a legend of the UK’s hardcore, rave and jungle scene. The man born Mike Wells has always had a high rate and high-quality output and that has kept him at the heart of the underground since he first emerged in 1989. While he pioneered a nu-school breaks sound and has released on influential labels like Lot49, Kingsize Records and Rabbit City Records, he is now on his own imprint and channeling his earliest musical loves once more.
Opener ‘You’ll Never Be Alone’ is an all-out dance floor banger with throwback hardcore stabs and a pitched-up female vocal that brings the euphoria. The punchy breakbeats power it along as fills, sustained chords and bouncing bass all flesh out this full-flavour classic.
Energy levels remain just as high on ‘Back to Back’, with its tightly coiled drums and restless synths darting about the mix. Vocal stabs and manic acid lines keep things bubbling as the tension rises and the heat on the dance floor rises to boiling point.
These are two brilliantly contemporary takes on an authentic and irresistible old school sound.
We are presenting ‘You’ll Never Be Alone’.
‘You’ll Never Be Back’ EP will be available after the 2nd of September HERE.
