The debut EP from FLeCK on Influential Records

 

The renowned Junglist FLeCK is back and ready to ignite the junglistic flame once again. Running already a global Jungle buzz, with festival appearances with the likes of Boomtown, Outlook and plenty more, he’s been delivering heaters on labels like Dread and Serial Killaz, always heavy, always vibing, always built for the right crew.

This week brings out a release he describes as a dream come true: his brand-new ‘Dead EP’. It's a three-track showcase that comes through Influential Records, Kniteforce’s dedicated Jungle sister label. The EP arrives on a bold orange-and-black 12" vinyl, a proper collector’s piece for wax lovers.

Front and centre is the lead track “Anything Test Dead”, now accompanied by an official music video, expanding the junglistic energy of the project.

 

“Fun, mad, and absolutely built for bouncing around the room — a brilliant debut for FLeCK on Influential Records.” - Luna-C

Altern 8 - Frequency 2025 Remixes

 

More than thirty years after it first detonated across UK dancefloors, 'Frequency' still carries the voltage of an era that shaped rave culture forever. Born in a bedroom in a small village and eventually immortalised as a hand-numbered 10,001 copy run in 1991, the track has enjoyed a strangely elastic afterlife covered by Soulwax, bootlegged endlessly, used as the riotous closer for Altern 8’s own live shows, and even sampled by Charli XCX, who went on to open her gigs with it. That renewed spotlight has paved the way for a new 2025 remix suite, and the result is a set that proves the track’s DNA hasn’t aged a day.

Altern 8’s Mark Archer teams up with Shadow Child for the M.A.S.C. version, a muscular, club-ready overhaul that pushes the track into tougher house territory while keeping its frenzy intact. Tenerife's legendary figure DJ Jonay opts for an old-school flavoured breakbeat driven rework, while Aries steers things into full-throttle jungle, firing off at festival-level intensity.

Finally, Kin drags the track through an amen-heavy time warp: a “back to ’91” blast of breakbeats and low-end that salutes the scene’s hardcore roots while pushing its chaos into modern DnB weight.

The 2025 edition of this iconic record reframes a piece of rave folklore for a new generation. Four radically different versions, each proving why 'Frequency' never stopped echoing through the culture. Limited-edition vinyl, cheeky artwork nodding back to Charli XCX’s aesthetic, and a package that hits as hard as the original. A true legend, recharged rather than resurrected.
