Alright, let’s dive into Destroy Ya All by Mumbles & JoJo—a hard-hitting slab of electronic goodness that still bangs in my headphones like it’s 2015 all over again. Released under Hi Oktane Records outta the UK, this album is pure Hard House chaos with a vibe so raw it feels like they recorded it live at some sweaty underground rave.
First off, you gotta talk about the title track, “Destroy Ya All (Original Mix).” Man, this one hits HARD. Like, I’m not even joking—when those beats drop, it’s like being punched in the chest but in the best way possible. The bassline is nasty as hell, grinding away while these glitchy little synth stabs bounce around your ears. It’s got this relentless energy to it, like it doesn’t care if you can keep up or not. You either ride the wave or get swept away. Honestly, every time I hear it, I’m transported back to those nights where the lights are strobing, and everyone’s losing their minds on the dancefloor. That track sticks with me because it’s just… unapologetic. It doesn’t try too hard; it just IS.
Then there’s another banger on here (I won’t name ‘em all, but trust me, there’s more gold). This one starts off kinda sneaky, with these eerie pads creeping in before BAM—it slams into this monstrous groove. There’s something about how Mumbles & JoJo layer their sounds—it’s messy in the best way, like throwing paint against a wall and somehow making art. Every listen feels like discovering new details buried deep in the mix. It’s tracks like these that remind me why Hard House will always have a special place in my heart. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore—or maybe they do, but nobody plays ‘em loud enough for me to hear!
Looking back, what makes Destroy Ya All stand out isn’t just the music itself—it’s the attitude behind it. These guys weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they were just doing what they loved, loud and proud. And honestly? That’s rare these days. Most albums feel so polished they lose their soul, but this one? Nah, it’s got grit. It’s got teeth.
Funny thing though—listening to it now kinda makes me wonder: did we peak as humans in 2015? Because damn, this album feels like proof.
