Lightless friends, I need your comments! 🗣📝

Please check the audio file: it has short snippets of several DNB tunes by an artist you haven't heard much about but who, imho, needs to be heard.
Basically he makes some wicked, different DNB which I'd like to release. He's not much of an online type (he's a studio hermit!), and I feel he could use some words of encouragement about his stuff, so IF YOU LIKE this type of sound, do leave a comment here or on Soundcloud, and I'll let the artist know!

I want to get his EP out. 

Let's encourage him a bit…we all need some kind words every now and then.
(the artist didn't ask me to do this, and no, it's not my alias works)

In a music landscape torn between the Zoomer-led drum and bass revival and the guardians of its underground roots, Note has somehow managed to find his own lane. Since his debut in 2021, Note has left an indelible mark on the scene, recognized for his ever-evolving, soulful sound that effortlessly blends avant-garde jazz, hip-hop, and R&B into meticulously crafted drum and bass/jungle compositions.

In the midst of a frenetic drum and bass scene, Note sought refuge in authenticity, returning to The North Quarter to create his boldest and most diverse work to date. Drawing inspiration from post-impressionist art, 'Impressions Of A Still Life' unfolds like a series of vivid paintings, capturing the essence of stillness through lush instrumentation, deep bass, and chopped breaks.

In these five tracks crafted for the dance-floor, Note paints a vibrant portrait that celebrates the joy found in life's simpler, quieter moments. 'Impressions Of A Still Life' is not just an EP; it's a sonic journal that captures the essence of Note's journey towards authenticity, gratitude, and the blissful stillness at the heart of his music.

Codename: RCRDS favourite NonRev returns with ‘Dreamstep EP’, which provides another stunning snapshot of this burgeoning artists distinctive take on fast soul music.

‘The Mist Comes Across’ kicks things off with crunchy tech breaks contrasting with dreamy atmospheric flavours for a unique roller which works equally well on dancefloors and home systems.  ‘Immersive Experience’ does exactly what it says on the tin, drawing the listener away towards a deep world of beautiful pads and funky brass tones before ‘Sunshine’ takes us deeper into a dreamlike state with its haunting soundscapes and morphing leads.  

The EP closes with ‘Insightful’, where a blissful intro gives way to to climbing riffs and rolling breaks to bring this vibrant release to a stunning close.  This talented artist is sitting at the top of his game right now, and this release represents another outstanding chapter in the irrepressible rise of all things NonRev.

Available on digital and limited edition 10" dubplate (incl. The Mist Comes Across / Insightful)
