With Guy J’s eagerly anticipated third artist album drawing ever closer on John Digweed’s Bedrock Records, the first offering is delivered in the form of three intricately crafted productions titled ‘Nirvana’.

Forever drawing influence from contrasting styles, genres and concepts, Guy J has become synonymous with creating innovative and out of the box productions such as ‘1000 Words’ which received an array of solid reviews from leading publications within the music industry. Adhering to exactly that fashion, Nirvana embraces his eclectic and much envied ability of being able to produce a varying catalogue of tracks of the highest stature.

Traversing through fluttering synth arrangements and atmospheric basslines, the opening production ‘8 Minute Flight’ is the superb beginning for what is set to be another profound chapter in the story of Guy J. A pivotal element of John Digweed’s Bedrock imprint, his forthcoming album is a showcase of all his favored diverse sounds compiled into a two CD’s of the highest caliber.

Never being content with constructing a linear style of productions, ‘Nirvana’s’ euphoric sounding riffs and elegantly composed percussion display Guy J’s versatility as an electronic artist, where as ‘Provokoter’s’ distorted rhythmic composition creates a darkened tone for all those listening. 

Carrying a wealth of experience on his shoulders, coupled with being supported by the underground music’s most profound names, ‘Nirvana’ is a sublime insight to the forthcoming album. Intricately weaving through each track creating an astonishing listening experience like no other, this EP will once again ignite excitement in the global music community that Guy J’s most ground breaking project to date is nearly upon us.

The 2xCD and Limited 12" Vinyl Sampler are both available to pre-order now from the Bedrock store http://bedrockmusic.bigcartel.com/products

Guy J - 8 Minute Flight

Mariano Mellino is one of the hottest names of the moment in Buenos Aires nightlife. Influenced by artists like Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Sasha and Nick Warren, his music has appeared on Darkroom Dubs, Crossfrontier Audio, Global Underground, Plattenbank and here he happily returns to Sudbeat with a three tracker that will not leave you indifferent!

Starting things off, the lovely ‘Mars from Eden’ introduces to this fine EP, with a blanket of warmth greeting us like a hug on the dancefloor, this smile inducing gem unfurls its beauty, as it subtly meanders along effortlessly.

Picking up the pace a little, we find ‘St. Luke Reborn’. Again away with dreamy chords, this winner delivers and energetic, yet restrained vibe. Punchy percussion, trippy fx and warm pads meet warbling muted synths to create an understated biggie.

Next up, label boss Graziano Raffa remixes ‘St. Luke Reborn’, taking us in to moodier edge territories, as the bassline teases and merges wonderfully with the gently softer sounds, creating a mesmeric state of sophistication. Calculated builds ease us gently upwards, as the energy levels pulse with anticipation , whilst keeping a deeper tight reign on affairs.

Rounding things off nicely, we find ‘Calypso Flare’. This bleepy melodic bouncy number means business, as it drives along, tinkling as it goes and playing with your mind.
