https://pineconemoonshine.bandcamp.com/album/pcms-20221-fading-light-above-us-all

https://kop-z.bandcamp.com/

Kop-Z’s “Fading Light Above Us All” is centered on four breakbeat driven drum and bass tracks. The compositions are layered like ambient works including the one non-dnb track, “Feel Lost.”

“Feel Lost” opens with bright noise and rumbling sub frequencies like a forgotten microphone left recording. This freeform piece shows patience with infrequent industrial noises swelling up over the noise and then disappearing again.

The dnb tracks highlight one or two well known breaks, glitched and edited into fragments. The two step “Should U Stay” stands out by layering drums in a late 90s Tech Step way. The drums and bass lines are treated as layers in the collection of atmospheres (not as the singular focal points). Some layers are in the foreground, but many sit content in the background developing imagery of different spaces or times. The tones creating a feeling of urgency or forlorn are balanced by choir-like swells and uplifting harmonies. And yet reverb can make even these ethereal elements feel a bit ghostly.

4. The Wall

This is the latest EP in my Bandcamp self release series titled 'The Wall'. This piece is less dancefloor orientated exploring a more experimental side of my work as you can hear with the two ambient pieces and the track 'honeydietyfunk' although I have still managed to slip in a one jungle track in the form of 'Do U Feel'.

Within this EP there has been a heavy use on vinyl sampling and sounds I have captured on my travels. This can be especially heard in track 3 which is based around a conversation on whether the best way to eat oats lol. This is also similar in the ambient pieces where the samples came almost exclusively from one trip. But yeh hope you enjoy, available on my Bandcamp and streaming platforms shortly.

Also I thought I would include the piece of artwork I created for my end of year uni project (also will release soon). Gonna put this up for availability on here and will also include my back catalogue for free with the purchase. (Available on my bandcamp)

More stuff to come in the near future :)))))

@kopz1 is a shining example the next generation of the UK’s Soundsystem experimentalists. 

Recorded within the walls of the White Hotel on Friday evening, Kop-Z presents an outstanding second hour of music, suited to the power of a 4-point rig in the North of England, on a (presumably) rainy night. 

Second Born - the antithetical means to common end(s): cooperative explorations of cultural output in the attention economy.
