::/05.12.2011\:: Tokyo Prose & Phil Tangent: Parity // Rearview (Red Seal 013) •
Buy direct from the official Samurai Music Store [Click]. Limited black vinyl Test Presses on sale midnight 08.11.2011
After Tokyo Prose’ successful entrance onto the scene with their ‘Introducing’ series creativity began to flow. A series of collaborations with numerous producers began and it was inevitable some of these would bare great results. Phil Tangent had one of the singles of 2010 for Marcus Intalex’ Soul:R label and was a perfect creative partner for the ideas charged Tokyo Prose. ‘Parity’ marries the pairs styles perfectly, with a euphoric vocal tempered by subtle gliding beats and bass. ‘Rearview’ is a sign of what Drum and Bass is missing in 2011. Smooth, deep and soulful music that reminds us again how powerfully emotive the genre can be.
/::12.12.2011::\ Break and Sato: Framework // Clap Your Hands (Symmetry 009) •
Symmetry return once for more dance floor devastation. Label boss Break & another new signing, in the shape of Sato. Those familiar with Break’s sound will be in for a treat, and for those who don’t know adjust your speakers! “Framework” is a killer tune, one to really mash-up the club and the crowd will call for the re-load every time. “Clap ya hands” is an infectious groove from Newcastle’s “Sato”, an excellent DJ friendly roll out and throbbing bass line.
::/12.12.11\:: ASC: Never Enough // Droids (Red Seal 014) •
Purchase direct from the official Samurai Music Store [Click].
Mutant cyber funk from the man behind Auxilliary, Symbol and one of the albums that has come to signify the Autonomic sound. ‘Droids’ follows ‘Brainscan’ perfectly. A muted power break jabs its way to the drop where it is joined by a writhing bassline, snippets of a classic break and signifying bleeps that mark this as the closest Drum and Bass can get to techno without a 4/4. The layers great techno music is known for are also taken care of here, with the power of every element wrung out to its true potential. Simple but enormously potent. ‘Never Enough’ is a drum workout of the highest order, with filters wrapping themselves around the twisting break edits, claps and steadying baseline. Vinyl buyers get an exclusive ambient piece …sshhhhhhh.
