AT LONG LAST, Endor Recordings Volume 4 is now available! This time round we're introducing a few new artists who we reckon you'll love if you like any sort of fast breakbeat music.
FFF, well known in the ravey breakcore scene tones down the BPMs a little bit and goes back to the oldskool routes with a straight that could be straight out of early '93 if it wasn't for the 2011 production. Can I Share My House takes the best of happy pianos, happy breaks, acid, and bass and breaks to give a seven minute oldskool rush!
ELECTRUX steps up to the plate with a combination of freeform and breakbeat hardcore (breakform, anyone?!) in Reactor. Played on Luna-C's Kniteforce Revolution podcast, if the 170bpm mix is a bit fast for those of you into hardcore breaks, there's a 140bpm version too that pushes the recent Amen-focused tracks from the likes of Skream etc into a new direction.
FIREFLY follows this and keeps the tempo nice and fast with Whirlpool. This is firmly in the progressive breakbeat freeform school of hardcore and is excellent for those middle-of-the-night sets when the raving shoes are properly on and stomping.
DAVE SKYWALKER rounds up the audio portion of the CD with a full on audio assault in Large Hardcore Music. Those of who who liked his track The Antiques Roadshow on the first release will not be disappointed with this, where an epic buildup into a drop where the Amens literally smash each other into oblivion.
And that's not all! This release features the largest amount of interactive content so far with over 400 Megs of bonus content! Bonus mixes from FFF, Dave Skywalker, and free tracks from Electrux and Firefly in addition to a bonus video and wallpapers for your computer. This is why Endor Recordings is a CD-based label, no-one else gives you this much interactive content in addition to the tracks, and best of all it's only THREE QUID!! That's less than a pint in a lot of places, so you'd be idiotic if you like this kind of music not to bother!
You can buy the CD (and all of the earlier releases) through the Endor Recordings store link or at http://www.endorrecordings.com, and listen below to soundclips from all the earlier releases. ENJOY!

This one sounds great. It's just a shame they're not digital downloads. I did ask Dave Skywalker about the chances of having digital releases after hearing Endor #2 but he said he's still in talks with the stores, seems like it's not happening
