[dubstep] Forthcoming | Low Life - Underhill / Machine Code / Audio

Dubstep | Forthcoming
Underhill / Machine Code / Audio present Low Life

EPul Low Life vine ca o lovitura grea din partea unora dintre preferatii nostri, mai exact Current Value[Machine Code] si Audio. Semn ca au trecut la testat echipamentul si skillurile pe dub. Suna sick, ablosut revoltator; 5*! Sau haideti sa dam un 6-7 din 10 doar pentru a lasa loc de mai bine pe viitor.
Nu ne imaginam Current Value pe dubstep? Foarte bine, pentru ca parte din rolul unui producator e fie inaintea momentului contemporan cu cel putin cativa pasi, iar daca aparent ramane in urma sa fie doar pentru a scoate treaba mai buna.
Ar putea fi un indiciu ca barierele dintre drum&bass si dubstep incep din ce in ce mai mult sa isi topeasca extremele. Mai mult, ne aflam intr-un creuzet cultural in care influientele se amesteca doar pentru a crea extaz sonor. Exact cum trebuie.
O surpriza totala va fi prezenta lui Current Value @ THERAPY SESSIONS BUCHAREST 4. ;)
Revenind la Low Life:
* Artists: Underhill / Machine Code / Audio
* Format: 12"

clipuri audio via Samurai Distribution
www.samuraimusic.co.nz

Feedbackul s-a aratat respectuos fata de producatorul neozeelandez TREI inca de la anuntul conceperii viitorului sau album de debut. Dupa ce a semnat din greu pentru case precum Commercial Suicide, Critical Recordings, Fokuz LTD, Citrus, SOM, Uprising si SGN:LTD (fratele mai mic al labelului Shogun Audio) iata ca a venit momentul pentru ca albumul de debut Trei sa iasa in sfarsit la lumina, mai exact la Samurai Music.
Pentru cei nefamiliari cu soundul vor fi de ajutor clipurile audio din spatele tracklistului de mai sus.

Trei este unul dintre producatorii care poarta mai departe gena soundului oldschool a la Bad Company, cu ceva mai mult accent pe colaborarile vocale [in special cu voci feminine] mutand centrul de greutate al piesei pe un mesaj energic situat la bariera dintre sunet si voce.
Ritmurile dansante, cateva aruncaturi de bass drops si lirica asociata unor stari emotionale intense atent menajate in constructia piesei sunt ingredientele retetei muzicale a lui Trei.

"Trei has come up with a cracking debut album. We've been big supporters of the tunes on the radio and in the club. Look out for this one!" State Of Mind

"I really dig this. It's intelligent dancefloor music. I've played pretty much all the tunes off it and am impressed with the vibes and production on the whole thing. Great work." - El Hornet (Pendulum)

"Trei has come to occupy his own unique space within the New Zealand Drum & Bass scene, with tunes that not only rip up clubs around the world but also with a human warmth to them that makes these tunes a lot more than mere dancefloor fodder. Perfect listening from 4PM till 4AM." - Concord Dawn

Citatele de mai sus ne intregesc imaginea cu atat mai mult cu cat il putem incadra pe Trei printre nume ca State of Mind, Concord Dawn si chiar si Pendulum, adica producatori care merg mai mult pe latura pop a dnbului[vezi despre pop culture, mainstream via wikipedia].

Dj Fresh - "Heavyweight"

forthcoming al labelului Digital Soundboy, piesa Heavyweight a lui Dj Fresh nu este deloc straina urechilor noastre. clinchetul curat oldschool like este predominant, ceva aparte pentru 2009. Big ups, Fresh! Se pare ca releasul in full are loc in Septembrie cu un B side la fel de greoi.

PRSPCTLP 001

PRSPCTLP 001 | Blood And Steel LP | Various Artists
INFO:
Titlu: Blood And Steel LP
Artist: Various Artists
Format: 3x12"
Record Label:PRSPCT Recordings
Catalog#: PRSPCTLP 001
Gen: Drum n Bass
Tara: Netherlands
Data Lansarii: 2009 (in curand)

Tracklisting:
A1.Limewax-Uncomes
B1.Donny-They Are Coming
C1.Raiden-Can't Be Myself
D1.Eye-D & Squee-Circuitry
E1.Counterstrike & Cooh-Blood And Steel
F1.Venganza-Caves

Primul LP PRSPCT e gata de lansare! O calatorie sonora tehnica si remarcabila prin acuratete si asta pe un fundal de valve in vibratie: MULT BASS!
1.Uncomes | Max Limewax da startul calatoriei cu un preludiu pe cat de tandru si impulsiv in prima parte a piesei pe atat de brutal si tehnic in constructie in a doua parte. Faptul ca ne-a tinut pe jar o vreme poate fi iertat cu picatura asta de nectar muzical. Evident ca astept sa ne umple cupa. Probabil ca urmeaza.
2. They Are Coming | Donny isi pastreaza amprenta dupa aceeasi formula, practic aducandu-si aportul in cadrul LPului prin "simpla" prezenta. Un briliant by default, de aici si expresia "o da cu efect".
3. Can't Be Myself | Raiden ajunge cu piesa lui inspre miezul spiralei din iris producand pe ecranul monitorizarii activitatii din timpan un grafic vibrant. Personal vad cum drumul parcurs in auditia LPului poarta deja creierul pe un plan audio vizual bogat care lasa in urma multa satisfactie.
E piesa pe care o asteptam de ceva vreme. Uplifting .. un concert senzorial de la daddy Raiden.
4. Circuitry | Eye-D & Squee si gata..am ajuns in miezul de contopire intre sounduri. Ce poate sa iasa decat un mash up dur si decisiv?
5. Blood And Steel | Counterstrike & Cooh parasesc miezul LPului doar pentru a amplifica efectul coliziunii din contopirea de tehnica si sound. Foarte potrivita localizarea piesei afiliata titlului!
6. Caves | Venganza adica amicul nostru Vengeanze propune un sfarsit sub semnul continuitatii, un to be continued gata sa ne catapulteze intr-un alt film care iti taie respiratia incat sa scapi popcornul pe jos. Mult..foarte mult pentru dancefloor. Biiig ups para Venganza!

Pe scurt: un pas de apreciat ca si start in lungul sir, sper, de LPuri marca PRSPCT.
Parca toti membrii "cultului" Blood and Steel expira pe nari mai multa experienta.
Melting pot-ul[creuzetul] in care se fabrica magia culturala de care suntem mandri in scena de drum&bass.
Ce pot spune? This thing will make us girls wet and you guys smash beer cans with ur bloody hands.

Suns of guns..go vote this shit in top 10!
