Neither Alex Reece nor Wax Doctor need much in the way of introduction, two artists who did great early tunes on labels like Basement\/Sound Entity,Liquid Wax, Rogue Trooper etc, before moving onto bigger non jungle-exclusive labels R&#038;S and Island Recordings respectively. Oh yeah, Alex Reece also put out some quite seminal tracks on a little label called Metalheadz&#8230;. maybe you&#8217;ve heard of it????? \ud83d\ude1b  &#8220;Pulp Fiction&#8221; ring a bell at all? No? OK then, moving on&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these producers are adept at understated, &#8220;less flash, more vibes&#8221; style tracks, and &#8220;frequency&#8221; tune fits that to a t. The barest minimum of elements here (a chopped amen, a portamento synth, a boomy sub, some stressed vocal fx and  an epic pad melody for a breakdown) ensure this does NOT sound like some sort of magnum opus these producers spent eons perfecting. If I&#8217;m honest, this sounds much more like something they could have banged out in a few hours on a good night.  However, that&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s bad\/not worth hearing&#8230; far from it. &#8220;Frequency&#8221; is just an ultra focused, minimal piece of moody 94 jungle.. does what it says on the tin, gets in and out without any fuss\/overwrought melodies\/extraneous concepts or samples shoehorned in. Definitely a great mixing track, sorry my rip isn&#8217;t quite up to snuff (suppose you can always grab a copy below if you want to hear it a bit higher res). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Alex-Reece-Wax-Doctor-Frequency-You-Got-Me\/release\/89670\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogtotheoldskool.com\/blog\/images\/alex_reece_wax_doctor.jpg\"><\/a><br \/>\n<A href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Alex Reece and Wax Doctor - Frequency.mp3\">Alex Reece and Wax Doctor &#8211; Frequency<\/a><br \/><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3903-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"\/blog\/audio\/Alex%20Reece%20and%20Wax%20Doctor%20-%20Frequency.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"\/blog\/audio\/Alex%20Reece%20and%20Wax%20Doctor%20-%20Frequency.mp3\">\/blog\/audio\/Alex%20Reece%20and%20Wax%20Doctor%20-%20Frequency.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a bit of a slow burner on the underappreciated Radioactive Kids label (which is actually a sublabel of Creative Wax&#8230;click that link and buy some excellent oldskool mp3s legit!).
