Quadrant Soundscape presents In Focus 008

The 8th instalment of our In:Focus Series goes back to where it all began. The Originators, the start of the sound we all love - Its Mark & Moritz, it's Basic Channel. 

There’s not a lot we can write that hasn’t already been written about this legendary duo and record label. Its quite hard to fathom how much innovation and quality came out of Berlin in such a small space of time, but over the course of 2/3 years Mark and Moritz invented a genre and wrote there names into the history books.   

What we have presented here isn’t a complete body of their work but it covers the majority of their output , with most of the ‘Big Hitters’ featured. We Chose to focus specifically on the releases as Basic Channel / Cyrus / Quadrant, however there is much more to explore, with their output as Maurizio, Rhythm&Sound, Round One - Five. 

Many have tried imitating, none have succeeded. This is Basic Channel

The atmospheric sounds of Perspective:R are back where he gives listeners 5 new serene soundscapes. Coherent Shatters begins as it means to go on, with floating pads, discreetly timed keys and a rolling breakbeat perfect for lazy sunday afternoons as the sounds gradually build. Here or Now starts with reflective pads and a flowing energetic breakbeat as it evolves with layers of melodies to create a euphonic journey. One Love mixes oldskool breaks that roll effortlessly with deep atmospheric layers of pads and tones before the title track Paradigm Wave continues the soulful journey with pads that sound like they are floating in orbit and drums that glide skyward accompanied by gentle keys and ascending strings. Spectral Dust finished the EP in fine style as peaceful pads and deep sub bass submerge the listener in an ocean of timbres guided gently by chopped breakbeats. Perspective:R continues to get better an better and Omni Music can't wait to hear his next chapter.
