SCAPES 001

Los Angeles based producers Craig Williams and Charles I bring us their first EP off Discobelle Records with three tracks that ooze dark techno deviousness.

Title and opening track "This Is It" is full of syrupy bass grooves and textured 
FX to tease the last bursts of serotonin from a 6:00 AM crowd.

"Increase the Doses" plundering bassline and stabbing synth work creates a multi-textured fabric of sounds and is built for peak time warehouse parties.

Last but not least, "Work" is a heavyweight tech house cut, complete with shuffling snares rolling throughout and choppy strategically placed hypnotizing vocals.

This duo takes recognizable elements of electronic dance music and subtly transforms them into something new altogether, the result is more than the sum of its parts.

Increase The Doses

It's impossible to talk about the sound of DjRUM without using the word cinematic. Whatever he does, it has a feeling of grand importance, widescreen elegance and moving emotion that elevates it way above a dance floor soundtrack. Throughout the course of his career, the UK artist has drawn on downtempo, blurred the lines between drum & bass and dubstep and always imbued his music with spoken words snippets, piano and chamber instruments. His Portrait With Firewood album was a real high-water mark in 2018, and last year his latest outing on R&S once again managed to draw on every aspect of electronic music and come up with something all his own. 

His mix for us this week is a perfect ethereal rave that finds plenty of beauty in the sparse rhythms he draws on from the worlds of garage, techno and drum & bass. There is a delicacy and elegance throughout, even when the beats hit hard and fast as they do at the overdriven and manic mid point. The amen breaks come thick and fast after that, but eventually melt away to propulsive ambient soundscapes that suspend you in time and space. Blissful.

When Joseph (Pantheon) and I got into the studio we sat down, had a look at all the equipment, and chose out a few key machines to work with and they would dictate the record. The obvious one you hear running through the track with the arpeggio line coming from the Arp 2600 clone. Once we started jamming the Arp with a couple of the drum machines the sketch came together really quickly. -Craig
