TMSV: Jungle, Vol. 3

TMSV is most known for pushing sub-bass to the limits within his heavy dubstep tracks, so his recent Jungle series is arguably a bit of a departure. However, with an ear well tuned to choice percussion, there’s certainly a connection to his previous output. With Volume 1 out December 2018, Volume 2 out September 2019, and now Volume 3, the EP series is certainly picking up momentum as well. Self-released, digital, available via Bandcamp:

Jungle, Vol. 3 by TMSV

Conceptually, this is an intriguing project for sure. The brief notes explain: 'This time, all tracks were made in completely different locations, once again using a combination of hardware, software, samples from the crates, and self-imposed limitations.' Amidst the clean clatters, it’s actually the soaring vocal loop that most impresses as “Glider” begins the EP. As the bass drops, feeling slightly off-kilter in the best of ways, the vibes embody dance music more holistically. This is music as dynamic as the jungle, rather than any one genre alone, it appears. “Seashells” takes the opposite approach; a melancholy synth creates the necessary tension while the rhythm eases in through the filter door. By way of a vocal sample, it’s at 1:30 that everything arrives full force. Rave, at least in a sense, yet again hard to pin down – even the era could be up for debate. What is clear is that the drums dominate, dictating the relevancy of the remaining palette. “Sunglow” pops in nicely after its predecessor’s fadeout, heavy and atmospheric, fit for the alleyways filled by the Tyrell Corporation. Thick and at times pulsating, this is a dystopia surprisingly brimming with optimism. The final minute pushes the drums and shouts to the fore, twisting on into the dusk. Fascinating cuts all around. There are definitely some unexpected yet enjoyable sounds here, whether approaching from the jungle or bass side. Producers will want to check out TMSV’s recent Jungle Sample Pack, too.
