Heymac - Fragile

Sometimes the soul goes out like a fire, but another person blows it up again. Each of us is deeply indebted to those who did not let this fire go out.

Technique Recordings have got previous when it comes to bringing Central and Eastern European artists to our attention. Now, from Ukraine, it's time to meet Tapolsky & VovKING. The more switched on amongst you will remember them from their intriguing formula-twisting excursions on the Technique “Summer 2017” LP. Now, they're back with a four-track EP and the space to demonstrate exactly what they're all about.

As the opening piano riff of “Running” hands the melody to that heart-wrenching vocal, then onto the fragile Rhodes, it's clear we're witnessing assured musicianship at work. This is DnB, sure, the punch and snap of the kick and snare combining with heavyweight bass. But, there's a loose experimental feel to it that means this tune could just as easily be the product of a live electronica band as studio-bound drum 'n' bass scientists.

And the live feeling continues as we move into “Deep Disco”. Deep, reverberant plucks of bass lay the foundation for keys and layered vocal samples. Then Tapolsky & VovKING deliver us into soulful chord changes and call-and-response patterns. They've even reinterpreted the standard build-drop-breakdown structure of DnB, integrating the form with layout of traditional songwriting. This is uncompromisingly unique, but no less dancefloor orientated for that.

Tapolsky & VovKING go even further down their musical rabbit-hole in “Flame”. As volumes and dynamics modulate in a way you haven't quite heard before, and little tension-building moments of silence appear as sounds fall away, we're drawn deep into these producers' world. It has to be heard to be understood.

The intro of “Cosmic Symmetry” sends us into a whirlpool of influences and styles. There's neo-soul, R&B, maybe even UKG in there, but that quirky live-sounding synth-work takes us somewhere that's not quite any of those things. And, under it all, there's the pulse of bassline and beat that mean that, whatever else it might be, this is very definitely drum 'n' bass music.

Let's be crystal clear. You haven't heard DnB done like this before. Tapolsky & VovKING are coming to the table with influences and ideas that are daring and challenging, but, are also emotive and engaging. They've called this EP “Modern Innovation”, and it's proved itself well worthy of that title.

Beats In Mind: Headsbass is a Drum n Bass collective releasing albums since the start of lockdown 2020. The motive donate every penny from sales and publishing to mental health charities as well as charities relating to the support of mental health for related illnesses, such as Young Minds, Papyrus, CALM, Stem 4 Teenage Mental Health and SUDC-UK.
 
Founder pyxis had the idea to raise funds through music since her own social anxiety has affected her for 20yrs, and utilising her connections in the scene has now enlisted the help of over 150 Drum n Bass artists in the last 2yrs in the form of their beautiful music, from veterans like Peshay and Furney up to the new breed such as Trex, Leniz and Kleu, with their trademark artwork created by Mitekiss.
 
With the support of DJ’s such as Riya, Sweetpea and Telomic, each volume has had a continuous bonus guest mix and a full video documentary on their YouTube channel where each contributing artist talks about mental health and how it affects them or people they have known and supported, with each volume supporting a different mental health issue such as suicide, lockdown blues, young person’s mental health and most recently turning attention to how physical illness can become mental illness when pyxis’ own dad survived a 12 day coma.
 
Lockdown highlighted a brand new breed of mental health victims, from isolation and loneliness to fear and uncertainty. But one thing that was certain was that unity through music was a very solid and effective method of being together whilst being apart. It proved that the unity in community was able to thrive despite the inability to physically connect. It also showed us that whilst the use of social media can lead to some damaging aspects of debate and disagreement, it was one of the only ways for people to stay together and support one another through the very simple means of sharing music, videos, photographs and memories.
 
pyxis and the gang thank everybody for their continued support and this also includes all the DJ’s playing the music, the premier upload channels on YouTube and Soundcloud and of course all the people donating their music for free and the people who are buying and streaming.
