AFFKT - THE BIG PICTURE (ALBUM) 

““The title 'The Big Picture' is about seeing things from a positive perspective, the album wants to be an optimistic pill although a big reflection of what I have been, what I lived and what I have become at this very moment. I feel in an age where I feel fine looking at the past as much as looking forward to the future.” (AFFKT)

Definitely inspiration strikes in a myriad of waves. New AFFKT’s album brings together all the best feelings and elements of the Spanish producer creativity into one cohesive release. New concepts and styles to deliver everyone some of the energy that needs to be released after a forced pause. 

Sonically speaking ‘The Big Picture’ is probably his most expansive and multifaceted electronic-driven album to date. AFFKT’s carefully constructed retro-futuristic electronica definitely suggests the quaint and unique forms of body music bringing ties with rock, pop and certainly more organic sounds. The musician is creating a new path, a new future by travelling to the past.  This new LP is redefining its own new genre somewhere between techno, indie dance, industrial and new wave inspirations. He perfectly manages to thrill us –in a very and innate sense- as well as taps into our very core. 

That said the songs of the new album hide unforgettable moments in the artist’s life. Let’s take the song ‘Bloom’ as an example. The melody is inspired by a song AFFKT’s mother used to play him when he was a child ('Eye in the Sky' by The Alan Parson Project). ‘Abre los ojos (feat. ELLE)’ which talks about dreams, borrows its title from the famous 1997 film by Alejandro Amenábar. ‘Ueli’ is a beautiful tribute to his grandmother who now passed away almost a year ago; another big mark of respect is ‘Adiós ayer (feat. Piek)’ on this occasion with the iconic Ibiza DJ José Padilla -who also passed away recently and who was undoubtedly a reference for AFFKT- in mind.

“For instance, the song entitled “End of the Road” is a kind short story written by me, but read by a robotic voice. It says: From the top of the mountain you can see the end of the road. Nothing looks the same from this point; the old fears are gone and everything seems to make more sense; the vision and sensations from up here is such it; it has undoubtedly been worthy. I definitely see my music as a really colourful open-minded combo of many different sounds that is an important dogma to me” AFFKT attests.

Unlike when composing an EP, AFFKT likes to build his albums in a cinematic way. By taking a sonic approach to telling stories. The artist is looking for a deeper, more descriptive way of working and describe feelings, moods, by using a different language. ‘The Big Picture’ can be enjoyed while dancing, as well as serving as emotional therapy.

‘The Big Picture’ album will be released exactly 4 years after the previous ground-breaking LP ‘Son of a Thousand Sounds’ on Sincopat. Interestingly, AFFKT’s debut album –‘Punto 0’- was also released with a difference of 4 years. This must somehow hide some runic secret and mean something. Something good!

DEMO TRACK FOR LONGWAYHOME EP

Lyrics:
I been tryna find you
I can’t seem to find myself
-
I can’t seem to find myself
It feel like I’m trapped in hell
If you got the keys baby won’t you open up my cell?
I can’t seem to find myself
I know only time will tell
I know only time gon’ tell if you gon’ set me free 
Baby don’t you let me breathe
Don’t you ever leave
Don’t you go all silent on me you know I won’t let you be
Know I get annoying as hell
But I’m just being myself
Girl you’re so much more than a dime
I swear that you’re so fine
-
Shawty you got what I like it excite me
Diamonds on your finger and they blinding 
If they fucking with you Ima strike ‘em like lightning 
Race to the money we running at light speed

Baby girl you know I know what you on
Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton
I take you shopping you get what you need
I take you shopping you get anything you want
Knock her right into her dreams
Hit from the back and I’m making her scream to god
I could read you like a book
Look at your face I can tell something is wrong
Baby tell me what it is
You know I’m never gon’ quit on you
You could disappear if you want
Even on the darkest nights I’m gon’ find you
-

I can’t seem to find myself
It feel like I’m trapped in hell
If you got the keys baby won’t you open up my cell?
I can’t seem to find myself
I know only time will tell
I know only time gon’ tell if you gon’ set me free 
Baby don’t you let me breathe
Don’t you ever leave
Don’t you go all silent on me you know I won’t let you be
Know I get annoying as hell
But I’m just being myself
Girl you’re so much more than a dime
I swear that you’re so fine

Every once in a while a spark of an idea balloons into something astounding and takes the drum & bass world by complete surprise. As an ode to the seminal track by legendary British band The Beatles, Urbandawn has created a very special 174 cover of ‘Come Together’, featuring the vocals of the world-famous Beatles Bootleg frontman Tyson Kelly.

Urbandawn’s unrivalled production has seen him turn the heads of the scene’s most infamous figures with support pouring in from dance music titans Andy C, DJ Marky, Danny Byrd, London Elektricity and the track even getting rewinds in the booth from Skrillex.

The ‘Come Together’ cover doubles down on the combined doses of nostalgia and euphoria. Where the energy from the original British pop culture classic is matched with all of the extravagant trimmings of Urbandawn’s unique D+B style. It’s first-class-crunch has made some serious noise and propelled him to the forefront of the D+B community, making Urbandawn one of the most sought after dubplate creators.

After notable releases such as his phenomenal ‘Gothenburg Cluster’ LP and the delightfully dynamic ‘Sleeping Awake’ EP, the cover comes in a class of its own that has come crashing through the ages - coveted by many, and now finally available for all on a limited edition one sided heavyweight, etched vinyl with classic 60's style design.
