Aphrodite – Sub Groove/Shine (white label)

If you were raving in the '90s, then Aphrodite (aka Welsh-born, South London-raised Gavin King) was one of those producers who was inescapable, having his own sound that combined the rolling drums of jungle with jump up drum and bass’s irresistible energy. \n \n‘Sub Groove’ is a case in point, junglist drum patterns and dub snares rolls accentuated by warm, modulating bass and vocal samples that carry it into uplifting without crossing over into cheese. ‘Shine’ starts dreamier but with a similar sense of forward motion, a pitching snare roll launching into drum mayhem whose technicality never gets in the way of its danceability. \n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjFYSr6QmmU&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.discogs.com%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.discogs.com&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=DJAphrodite \n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARpb5OROsU8&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.discogs.com%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.discogs.com&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=DJAphrodite
