Today's compilation:

Rollcage Stage II Sampler 2000 Drum n Bass / Big Beat / Jungle

Here's a little three-song 12-inch from juggernaut UK dnb label Moving Shadow that was released in anticipation of a fuller soundtrack for 2000 racing videogame Rollcage Stage II, which was also released on PC in North America as Death Track Racing. Over the past couple weeks, I've been exploring the partnership that Moving Shadow had with Rockstar Games in the early 2000s—a couple mixes from label founder Rob Playford came with a bonus disc that contained playable demos for Grand Theft Auto 2, segments of another Playford mix were featured on a radio station for GTA3, and then at least one of those songs from that latter Playford mix also debuted in Midnight Club: Street Racing as well. But with this tiny videogame soundtrack sampler, we see that Moving Shadow's relationship with the games industry in those turn-of-the-millennium years wasn't just limited to Rockstar.

So ultimately what we have here is a highly unfortunate vocal big beat clunker from E-Z Rollers sandwiched between two pretty great and different shades of dnb from Technical Itch and Omni Trio. Tech Itch, who is a master of the dark dnb arts himself, comes through with the fantastic "Deadline," a real trip with multiple breakdowns that infuses itself with some lovely jungle breaks; and then on the flipside, Omni Trio delivers something a whole lot more atmospherically chill with "Secret Life," a song that suggests that the virtual racetrack it was crafted for is almost certainly colored in icy hues of blue.

That E-Z Rollers tune, though...woof, what a total gimmick that one is 😒. It's sort of like if The Chemical Brothers tried to make a rough draft of a new theme song for a y2k-era reboot of Carmen Sandiego??? And I get that that might actually potentially sound fun and intriguing on paper, but trust me, it most definitely *does not* work here. It's really an unforgivably cheesy monstrosity. 

Anyway, although these three tracks were specifically made for this videogame, the release of this particular limited edition 12-inch actually appears to predate the release of the game itself by about a week and a half in the UK; so if you wanted a sneak-peek into some of the exclusive Moving Shadow material that was gonna be featured in the game, you could cop this before the game actually dropped. 

Planning on tackling a fuller version of Moving Shadow's Rollcage Stage II soundtrack later this week. Stay tuned ✌️.
