Issued as SBOY021, the record arrived during a particularly strong period for the group, with both tracks already appearing in Vicious Circle DJ sets and mixes in the years leading up to the release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSide A – Havana delivers the kind of dark, futuristic drum \u0026amp; bass for which Vicious Circle became known, combining tightly programmed breakbeats with heavy bass pressure and detailed electronic production. The track had been circulating in the scene before its 2009 release, appearing in Vicious Circle's mixes alongside material from labels including Digital Soundboy, Critical, Renegade Hardware and Virus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSide AA – Relapse takes the darker approach further, with a forceful rolling rhythm and heavyweight low end. The track was also being played by Vicious Circle during 2008, demonstrating that both sides of the release were established parts of their DJ repertoire before finally reaching the Digital Soundboy catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe release is a strong example of the late-2000s techstep and dark drum \u0026amp; bass sound, sitting comfortably alongside the tougher output of labels such as Renegade Hardware, DSCI4, Critical Music and Virus Recordings. Digital Soundboy's catalogue at the time was broad, but \u003cem\u003eHavana \/ Relapse\u003c\/em\u003e represented the label's heavier drum \u0026amp; bass direction particularly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor collectors of Vicious Circle, Digital Soundboy Recordings and heavyweight 2000s drum \u0026amp; bass, this is a particularly useful release from the group's early catalogue, capturing the dark, uncompromising production style that made Vicious Circle a recognised name within the UK and international D\u0026amp;B scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHavana\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide AA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRelapse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GgHrE9n0kN0?si=Q0DT88WCBdgL72lS\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Soundboy Recording Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55538669355350,"sku":"SBOY 021","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_982f19c1-1933-4579-a066-e535350c3248.jpg?v=1790761107","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/vicious-circle-havana-relapse","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
