The future is now, the future is jungle, and this funky little number by BRIGHT LIGHTS is future jungle, mixed with some old school flavour.

Bright Lights - real name DANIEL BEHAN - has been on the scene since the early 2010s when he became involved in the emerging 'future jungle' genre, and was co-owner of a well respected label of his own, Quantum Progression Audio. After a hiatus, he returned to production last year to deliver this high calibre new EP - his first on vinyl.

Influences of the future jungle sound and its vision can be heard in this tune, Cyberfunk 3000, which seems fitting as Bright Lights insists he never looks back, always trying to push his sound into the future - while melding it with his love for classic breakbeat hardcore and jungle of the 1990s.

Daniel says: "This track is inspired by my years as a youth buying cassettes and vinyl, listening to rave tapes and pirate radio, and attending raves in London or across the south! I loved the dynamic choppy energy I found listening to old hardcore and jungle, and wanted to get some of that into the track. It's a unique period of music and exciting to draw inspiration from."

Earlier this year, Bright Lights released You Time digitally on Erupt. It received praise and airplay from Schoco, DJ Code of Kool FM, Redíneas, Love Lizard, K Super, Breakbeat Scientist, DJ Squid (Plates Records) and Glowkid among others. However, it featured just three tracks, and Cyberfunk 3000 is one of two bonus tunes which will be exclusive to the new vinyl version.

In conjunction with Lobster Theremin Distribution, now the handlers of all future Erupt releases, the record can be brought on pre-order from TODAY at lobsterrecords.co.uk, with the release set to land on the November 5 from that site or via eruptrecordsuk.bandcamp.com. "Forget a bonfire, when you can put this little firecracker on your decks," says Erupt label owner BULLET S.

He goes on: "Myself and Bright Lights have been sharing our tunes back and forth for some time. He first sent me the EP's title track, You Time. I was thrilled with that, but then as he sent me more, I knew a full EP would do his portfolio justice.

"Cyberfunk 3000 is a personal favourite. It sounds like it's lightyears ahead of 2021, sonically, but still so faithful to what makes breakbeat hardcore a special genre. To achieve both at once, is a serious craft. It has the pure rolling energy of classic Prodigy tunes, whilst switching things up when needed, taking you on a journey between drastically different textures of sound. In other words, it's a massive tune, and I think the limited chance to grab it on wax makes it that extra bit more special!"
