Melodic Mayhem

Hand crafted from field recordings, junk percussion and charity shop keyboards, TOP002 sees Scissorwork on wax for the first time.

With an uncompromising DIY approach to building tracks and attention to detail, he has distinguished himself from the crowd and gained real momentum since tracks started to appear online in early 2016.

The opening track 'Urges' sets the tone for the EP - a delicately constructed, feel-good thumper, dripping in tape saturation, fuzzy bass notes and off-kilter melodies. 'Sympathy' moves into heavier territory showcasing rusty, rolling bass tones, infectious grooves and a strong dose of nostalgia. 'Walking Home' takes things down a notch. Melancholic chords set to a backdrop of crunchy organic drums and a field recording captured at dusk in the city, that familiar feeling of walking home, still lucid, while the rest of the population is just emerging from their slumber towards the nearest coffee shop. Wrapping things up with help from fellow Bristol migrant Playboy Nolan is a dark, hazy 2-Step joint taking influences from elements of UK bass music, from early 90's to the present day.

'Her Touch', is the epitome of a tropicalised groover geared for beach-side action and rooftop hoofing sessions. Volatile and lighthearted with its vibrant flights of xylophonic lines and piano-speckled motifs dissolving in fine volutes, this is the exact kind of track that'll carry the smile on your lips all the way through the summer, as we can finally set our sight into the deep blue sky and take a dip in the transparent waters of some cerulean creeks.

With his shift to a more deeper sound in the past few years @DeejayAstral has crafted a dark and brooding style reminiscent of earlier house and techno. On “Duality” from his new Pack the Pipe split EP on @whos-susan with @Fede-Lng, the Berlin based producer creates a moody atmosphere with elements from both the UK and German scenes. 

The bassline drifts and drifts across the track, leaving space for the warmth and pulse of the kick and hi-hats. Over time it loosens more and finds moments to fill the space in between other sounds with its depth. The main sample builds slowly with a tunnel reverb that bleeds out behind the drums and melodies while vinyl grooves and noise move in and out of the left and right channels of the stereo field. While the layering and sounds present interesting sonic palettes, it comes as no surprise from a DJ known to play with the likes of Baltra and Mall Grab.
 
All the while the main vocal sample slides in and around the other elements of the track. As is tradition within lo-fi house tracks the sample manages to evoke both somber and uplifting emotions all at once. It matches the brooding feel of the bassline while also reaching the heights of the main refrain. With subtle reverb giving it the sense of desperation and tension it cuts through the mix and compliments the songs main melodic presence. As he teases another drop at the end of the track you’re unsure of whether the person talking to themselves in the bathroom mirror made it out to conquer their adversity.

“Duality” is one of two tracks by Deejay Astral from the upcoming Pack the Pipe EP with Fede Lng. Out 1.15.18.
