Bournemouth's Vinyl Fanatiks - formerly a reissues outfit of the 1998-founded label Underdog Recordings - offer up the downcast, moody 'Vexxed/Chill Out' by DJ Fokus, harking back to the furthest, earliest, most Blade Runner-esque reaches of the jungle sound: that transitory moment between breakbeat and "170", when basement DJs "discovered" the tempo fader. 'Vexxed' evokes the ideal but unattainable character of a future cyborg; demure, calculating, yet still liable to become charged with rage, while 'Chill Out' impresses further with its rubberball bass and fractious, rapid choppage.
