Akasha FX - Feel The Fear EP (FILTER054) 
Release date: February 13th, 2012

For fans of: UNKLE, Crystal Method, Plastikman, Meat Katie

ABOUT THE RELEASE

Even though their previous release White Space is still making waves in the media industry and is hot on the playlists of A-list music supervisors and radio programmers, the superduo return with yet another fantastic EP. It is their forth for Filter and probably has the biggest potential to cross over to the mainstream and daytime radio. Still, that surely doesn’t mean Akasha FX have lost their edge.

The title track creates a surreal atmosphere beginning with a long build up showcasing the vocal talents of Jenny Bell. Once the breakdown hits you, you realize you have been caught in the distinctive Akasha FX web of sounds. Frances Mary returns on Filter with her contribution to the dubbed-out funk of Get Down. It is easy to imagine its nasty slow groove blasting on a sweaty secret party under a clear blue sky.

Req on the other hand serves as a witness to the various musical interests and influences of this duo. It reminds us of the best Plastikman works but upgraded to version 2012. Finaly, the last surprise arrives in the form of Soul Power, an ambient piece layered over a pulsating bass that creeps on you slowly and stays in your subconsciousness forever.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Akasha FX is the production partnership of Kristian Townsend and Darren Beale. As well as Akasha FX, both Kristian and Darren also produce the breakbeat project ‘Ways And Means’ together which has made a solid name for itself since it first came onto the scene as well as being part of Kosheen and Kosheen DJ’s which needs no introduction.

Akasha FX brings together all elements of their musical paths and creates a new and exciting project combining electronica, down tempo, ambience and breaks, creating a new sound that we are proud to be a part of.

To describe their sound is the hardest part, they create sonic soundscapes and combine vocals from a variety of singers, beats (both breaks and downtempo) and blend them to encourage what can only be described as deep listening through a hybrid of all their musical experience. Original to the core, Akasha FX are here to push the sound barrier and to give us something that we have not heard before.
