TECH 149 – Document One – 7th Dimension

There's something about Document One's highly individual style which has resonated with DJs and ravers alike. Throughout 2016, their releases took up almost permanent residence at the top end of DnB download charts and in the sets of the most discerning selectors. They defined their own sound, culling elements from multiple genres and weaving them into dancefloor mayhem. And, if this release is anything to go by, they're going to do it all over again in 2017.

The ethereal horns and vocal sample in the intro set the scene, building an edge of tension. It's got all of that smoky moodiness that Document One can deliver, combining tech darkness with a jazz sensibility. Delicate hints of percussion mark the way, and there's still no hint as to whether we're heading towards laid-back cool or road-hard savagery in the drop. It's Document One, after all, and they can do either.

The eponymous MC sample gives us the signal. And the atmosphere is ripped asunder by the arrival of crisp drums and a pulsating, irresistible bassline. Its stripped-back production gives those core sounds the chance to really make their presence felt. And when the vocals ride over the top, it all comes together to make complete skank-out sense. This is a roller that's going to do some serious damage in the rave. 

Altogether, this track takes us on a tour of the multiple facets of the sound Document One have marked out for themselves. It's got the tech percussion and sample programming, a hip-hop edge, that hint of jazz in the horns and undisputed funk energy in the bass. Simultaneously heavy and subtle, this is proof that the Doc One style is ready and able to make even greater strides in 2017.

Viper’s newest and most mysterious signing, Giganti is once again making waves with the label’s first single release of the decade. While his identity remains a mystery, one thing that IS for certain is that Giganti is a force to be reckoned with. 2019 saw the release of a slew of heavyweight singles including ‘Face Off’, ‘Peacock Strut’, and ‘Big Cohones’, before ending the year on a high note with his highly sought after bootleg of Kanye West & Chris Martin’s ‘Homecoming’.
Keeping the mystery intact, Giganti returns to Viper with ‘Danger Mouse’ a track taken from his forthcoming Cosa Nostra EP. A thematically mysterious opening sets a foreboding tone for the track, playing off the producer’s alleged mafia ties with cinematic flair. While the intro successfully builds suspense, the track stands out for it’s drop in signature Giganti fashion. Bouncy, loud, and bass-heavy, Giganti makes music destined for the dancefloor, and this latest release is no exception.

Viper have always prided themselves on unearthing fresh, new talent, shining a spotlight on those who deserve it in such a saturated market. There’s no denying Futurebound’s impeccable ear, and so it should come as no surprise that Giganti is set to be the next big thing in drum & bass if the label’s track record is to be any indication. A strong first release for a new decade, keep an eye on Giganti for more in 2020.
