This particular track is a pure experiment, I was recording my acoustic piano, using some mechanical rubber mutes for a different project, and did this take just for me as a test.
I didn't know what to do with it, and abandoned.
Then, I overdubbed many different instruments over the past few months, an upright bass+acoustic drums rhythm section, an unexpected old-schools synth. Later I added an orchestral section.

There's a lot of work on this track but still I don't know where it's going nor what was i attempting when I started it. An experiment, a true one.

An Undertow Of Resilience (disquiet0569)

Music for everyone, music for others. A life against the current. No genre in music! It is too simplistic to give a genre to everything!! Music is an expression of human emotions and it is necessary to learn to understand humanity in its complexity.

This is a genre called Talking Rock. I love '70s West Coast American music. It's the music that inspires me. I also like Ennio Morricone's style. Then I mix it all up. I play electric, classical, acoustic, and 12-chord guitar. I also play bass.

DNB Archives: Volume 1
Independent Drum & Bass, Unfiltered.

Top G Records proudly presents DNB Archives: Volume 1 — a cross-border compilation featuring some of the rawest, realest independent DnB talent from the USA, UK, and Canada.

This is our answer to the mainstream noise.

Born from a love of underground culture and a frustration with the oversaturation of major label playlists, this project brings together a diverse line-up of producers and labels who are building the future of drum and bass outside the algorithm.

We wanted to create something like Now That’s What I Call Music — but for independent DnB only. No filler. No compromises. Just the very best of what the underground has to offer:
🔥 Rollers
🌊 Liquid
🌪️ Tearout
🌌 Deep tech
🌿 Jungle-infused vibes

Each track was handpicked to represent a different flavour of the scene, united by one mission:

To give a proper platform to the artists pushing boundaries from the shadows.

🎧 Why You Won’t Find This on Streaming:
This is a download-only release — exclusive to those who truly support the culture. No Spotify. No middlemen. Just direct-to-fan, just like it used to be.

Whether you're a DJ, a collector, or a day-one DnB head, this is for you.

Volume 1 is just the beginning.
Archive it. Share it. Play it loud.
Independent DnB deserves its spotlight.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
