P-RALLEL house, UKG and old-school jungle set in the Lab LDN
P-RALLEL’s ‘house, UKG and old-school jungle’ title is a promise faithfully delivered, a genre-hopping tour de force in The Lab LDN. We live for these sets where a soulful garage vocal is followed by a junglist amen break. The vibe is warm, immersive, and impeccably curated, that studio intimacy allowing every texture to shine. This is a UK garage and jungle journey, with a 135.9 BPM average and a harmonic foundation almost exclusively in the bright, soulful key of 12A.
The mixing is smooth and musical, with a profound emphasis on rich, warm low-end (0.70 avg) and atmospheric mids (0.28), while high-end energy (0.02) is reserved for crisp breaks and vocal snippets. It’s a deep, rolling narrative rather than a peak-time assault. The digging is exceptional: opening with his own ‘Signal’ sets a vibey, modern garage tone. Alous’s ‘Dancing Now’ is a deep house gem, and p-rallel’s ‘Vibes’ featuring Sam Wise & Venna adds contemporary UK flair.
Shaun Escoffery’s ‘Days Like This’ (Spinna & Ticklah Mix) is soulful garage perfection, and OMAR’s ‘It’s So’ is a timeless boogie-funk moment. The inclusion of Monolink’s ‘Return to Oz’ offers a melodic techno detour, while Fish Go Deep’s ‘The Cure & the Cause’ remix is a deep house classic. The set starts with ‘Signal’, builds through the soulful peak of ‘Days Like This’, and concludes with the expansive, traveling vibe of Cordell McClary & Quentin Harris’s ‘Traveling’—a proper journey.
