Spacefuk EP: A Drum ‘n’ Bass Joyride from the Great White North
Alright, let’s talk about Spacefuk EP by Various. Released in 2010 under Canada’s In Da Jungle Recordings, this little gem is a no-frills dive into the world of electronic beats with a heavy dose of drum ‘n’ bass swagger. It’s not gonna change your life or anything, but it’s one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Like finding an old candy bar in your jacket pocket—unexpectedly satisfying.
First off, shoutout to “Heart, Soul And Mind.” This track hits different, man. The beat builds slow at first, teasing you like, "Hey, I’m just another chill tune," but then BAM—it drops into this frenetic rhythm that feels like your brain's been plugged into a kaleidoscope. The synths are sharp enough to cut glass, and there’s this weirdly hypnotic vibe going on that makes you wanna move even if you’re just sitting on your couch eating chips. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that sticks with you because it doesn’t try too hard. No flashy gimmicks here—just pure, unfiltered energy.
Then there’s “Orbit,” which is… well, kinda wild. If “Heart, Soul And Mind” is all about precision and punch, “Orbit” is its chaotic cousin who showed up uninvited but still managed to charm everyone at the party. The bassline rumbles like a spaceship taking off (fitting, right?), while these glitchy sounds pop in and out like they can’t decide whether they want to stay or leave. It’s messy in the best way possible, like doodling outside the lines and ending up with something cooler than you planned. You won’t forget this one anytime soon—it’s got personality for days.
The rest of the EP? Solid stuff, nothing groundbreaking, but hey, sometimes solid is exactly what you need. Tracks like “Confunksiois Says” and “Ok..” keep things groovy without overstaying their welcome. They’re the kind of tunes that fade into the background until suddenly you realize you’ve been nodding along for ten minutes straight.
Here’s the thing about Spacefuk EP: it’s not trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it’s content being a really good wheel—one that spins fast, sounds crisp, and gets you where you need to go. Listening to it feels like catching up with an old friend who’s always down for a laugh and never takes themselves too seriously.
And honestly? That’s more than enough. Sometimes music doesn’t need to be profound or earth-shattering—it just needs to make you feel alive for a few minutes. So crank this one up, let the beats wash over you, and remember: space might be infinite, but good drum ‘n’ bass? That’s rare. Treasure it.
Oh, and fun fact: did you know Canadians invented basketball? Yeah, random, I know. But after listening to Spacefuk EP, I wouldn’t be surprised if they also invented drum ‘n’ bass. Just saying.
