Starkid - 12-Nov-08 02:05 PM
Sometimes life falls into another plan. We live each day, breath after breath and make our plans while we get up in the mornings and continue working on our dreams with the belief that one day they will be achieved. This certainly was the case with Adam “Starkid” Spears, a multi talented youngster from Nacogdoches, Texas. However, Adam’s life tragically ended on July 30th, 2004 when a dump truck hit him with full force on the driver’s door in a car accident in Appleby, Texas, a small town just outside of Nacogdoches, less than a mile away from his house. It ended the life of a kind hearted and bright young man that was just on his way in fulfilling his own dreams.
Jay Lumen Feat. Panoptic - Surface 'Reborn' - 22-Aug-08 02:58 PM
Jay lumen teams up with Mic Panoptic Burns for the release of this classic. As
one of the stand out tracks from Sashas legendary Glastonbury Radio 1 set
Surface is one of those rare tracks that has it all. Fire & Funk, with a hooky
as hell melody line running through it , which will get in your head and drive
you mad.. in a good way! Jay Lumens 2008 remake is the first mix here which
takes the original and takes it down a melodic progressive route.. staying true
to the original , with a modern twist. Next up is Quivver, who gives surface a
tuff tech house drive, with teasing top line intros weaving in & out, building
to a crescendo drop! There is a a remix from rising star, Dibby Dougherty. He
excludes the hookline totally and worsk his dubby throbbing moix around the bass
chords and tweaky perc. Lastly we have included the original Panoptic mix for
all those that missed it back then.. a bloody marvelous package we reckon!!
Shonky - Olympia EP - 14-Feb-07 03:14 PM
Olympia" is a deep, heads down groover; a slow, beat-pushing builder with subtle trippy bleeps.. Designed for afterhour; good for any hour.
"Phantomas" is a darker, more intense production, bringing the tripped-out sounds to the foreground and pushing your mind sideways.
"Horizontal Moon" - part three of your little trip - the title says it all really.
Sultan - No Why - 02-Jan-07 11:43 PM
Sultan follows up the very successful Shivers with No Why on Shinichi featuring Zara, another amazing vocal talent. Adding their own sound to this package is Nick K and Richard Earnshaw.
The original is silky smooth piece full of gorgeous synths, sublte basslines and simple beats. Zaras vocal is floated softly over elements while a nice guitar sample echos after each verse. The simple chorded melodies are very pleasing while the vocal never over shadows the production.
Nick K is up next as he hardens the drums and adds a little flare with electro-like effects and gritty synths. A grinding bassline drives this track along while the squeeling of sustained synths play perversly with a sample of the vocal. The production is seemless with all elements meshing so nicely that you forget that its a remix. Would love to hear a dub version of this.
Rounding off the remixes is Richard Earnshaw as he delivers a straight up West Coast style mix with piano melodies while tweaking the original guitar, adding to it a twang. Bouncy basslines and happiness all round is the mainstay here while the vocal gets front stage treatment throughout the mix.
As an extra goodie, Shinichi have provided a track by Sultan called Whatever. Here we see strong beats and rasping percussion create a driving feel while heavy guitar samples and riffs play havoc with your ears. The guitars are heavily effected and are rarely assisted by other elements.
As a release, the quality and variation will suit many in the house department. Sultans productions are always of the finest quality while fast rising star Nick K delivers what I feel is the standout here.
Andro - Invisible / Soulfly - 01-Dec-06 09:53 AM
Incl. Invisible and Soulfly. Andro makes a welcome return to the Cyber stables with two new prog bombs. First up "Invisible" chugs along nicely and turns it up a notch with some nice key changes. "Soulfly" keeps things dark but is a little more melodic thanks to some nice floaty pads and washed out stabs. Support John Digweed, Deep Dish, Armin!
