VARIOUS — Myor Massiv 17

Lemon & Mint and Waffles Kru come together for Myor Massiv 17, a two-track 12-inch vinyl release on Myor Massiv, catalogue MASSIV17. Scheduled for release on 30 October 2026, the record continues the Breda-based label’s long-running commitment to contemporary jungle, breakbeat and drum & bass, pairing Lemon & Mint’s “Spooky Dreams” with Waffles Kru’s “Now You’re Fucked”. Pressed in Myor Massiv’s characteristic hand-stamped 12-inch format, MASSIV17 is a concise two-sided record aimed squarely at DJs and collectors looking for modern jungle with a strong connection to the genre’s breakbeat-driven foundations. Myor Massiv has developed a distinctive place within contemporary jungle by maintaining a direct relationship with the physical 12-inch and the culture surrounding it. The label is closely associated with Coco Bryce and has built its catalogue around producers working across jungle, drum & bass, hardcore and rave breakbeats. Earlier releases have featured FFF, Coco Bryce, Tim Reaper, DJ Europarking, DJ Sofa, No Nation and other producers from the modern jungle movement, with the MASSIV series functioning as one of the label’s principal vehicles for new material. Specialist distribution descriptions repeatedly identify the series with contemporary jungle and breakbeat music, often presented in hand-stamped physical editions. MASSIV17 keeps the format deliberately stripped back. Instead of spreading four tracks across both sides, the release gives each producer an entire side: Lemon & Mint’s “Spooky Dreams” occupies the A-side, while Waffles Kru’s “Now You’re Fucked” takes the B-side. That structure makes the record feel more like a focused DJ tool than a conventional multi-artist compilation. The two producers are given enough vinyl real estate for their respective tracks to establish their own rhythmic identity while remaining connected through the broader Myor Massiv aesthetic. The available catalogue information classifies the release within jungle, drum & bass and breakbeat territory. Lemon & Mint’s “Spooky Dreams” opens the record. The title suggests an atmospheric direction, but the track belongs firmly within the breakbeat-led world represented by Myor Massiv. Lemon & Mint has been active within the contemporary bass and jungle ecosystem, with recent releases appearing through specialist labels and platforms including Amen Lisboa. The project’s recent catalogue demonstrates an interest in modern jungle and related bass music rather than a strict recreation of one historical period, making “Spooky Dreams” a natural fit for a label whose catalogue frequently moves between old-school jungle references and contemporary production approaches. On a DJ level, the A-side is the more atmospheric entry point into MASSIV17. “Spooky Dreams” gives the record its opening mood before the harder title of the B-side changes the character of the release. Within a jungle set, that contrast can be useful: rather than offering two near-identical cuts, the record creates a clear difference between its sides while keeping both within the same broad rhythmic territory. The physical format also makes the division particularly practical, allowing a selector to move directly from the more atmospheric A-side into the B-side without needing to treat the record as a longer four-track EP. Waffles Kru’s “Now You’re Fucked” provides the flip-side statement. Its title is deliberately confrontational, and the track’s placement as the second half of this two-track record creates an obvious shift in attitude. Waffles Kru is represented here not as part of a larger compilation sequence but as the sole artist on the B-side, giving the track a clear role within the release. The catalogue is documented as a 12-inch vinyl release with “Now You’re Fucked” as the complete B-side track. The strength of this arrangement is its simplicity. MASSIV17 does not need a long tracklist to communicate what it is about. One side comes from Lemon & Mint, the other from Waffles Kru, and the connection between them is the shared language of contemporary jungle. For DJs, this makes the record particularly straightforward to work with. It can be treated as a two-track tool record, with each side offering a different point of entry into a jungle or drum & bass set. For collectors, the concise format is consistent with the wider MASSIV series, where individual 12-inch releases document specific moments within the modern jungle scene rather than attempting to function as broad retrospective compilations. The release also sits within an important continuing trend in contemporary jungle: the use of vinyl as an active part of the genre’s culture rather than simply an archival format. Myor Massiv’s catalogue has repeatedly returned to hand-stamped 12-inch pressings, and previous MASSIV releases have included both established figures and newer producers. MASSIV01, for example, brought together FFF and Coco Bryce, while later entries expanded the series through artists including FFF, Tim Reaper, DJ Europarking, Dope On Plastic and No Nation. The series has therefore become a useful snapshot of the modern jungle network surrounding Myor Massiv. That context gives MASSIV17 significance beyond its two-track format. The record represents another stage in the continuing development of a label that has consistently treated jungle as a living form rather than a closed historical genre. Its releases draw from the rhythmic vocabulary established by early jungle and drum & bass while allowing contemporary producers to reshape those ideas through their own production styles. The result is music that can work equally well for DJs searching for functional 12-inch material and collectors following the evolution of the modern jungle vinyl scene. For selectors, the appeal of Myor Massiv 17 lies in the contrast between the two sides. “Spooky Dreams” by Lemon & Mint provides the atmospheric A-side, while Waffles Kru’s “Now You’re Fucked” supplies the more aggressive B-side identity. Rather than attempting to define one uniform mood, the record gives DJs two complementary options within the same jungle framework. That makes the physical record useful across different stages of a set, particularly for selectors moving between deeper breakbeat material and more direct rave-oriented energy. As MASSIV17, the release also continues Myor Massiv’s established physical language: a hand-stamped 12-inch, a minimal two-track structure and music created with the DJ and vinyl format in mind. Lemon & Mint and Waffles Kru bring different identities to the two sides, but the record remains coherent because both tracks sit within the label’s contemporary jungle and breakbeat orbit. For collectors following Myor Massiv’s catalogue, MASSIV17 adds another chapter to one of the more consistent modern jungle vinyl series; for DJs, it is a focused two-sided record designed to be used rather than merely archived.
