Mega City Industry is Ital Tek’s sophomore effort for Civil Music. Formed of four liquid hybrids exploring Footwork's accelerated template the EP splices the rhythmic memes of Chicago with UK sci-fi sonics rooted in classic '90s AI and jungle music.

With three albums for Planet Mu to his name and an uncanny knack of always sounding completely unique Ital Tek has been evolving his dexterous dance-floor electronica, techy IDM, glitch-hop and post-dubstep forms for approaching a decade. Impressively adept at shrugging off the constraints of genre identification his output has most recently been inspired by the febrility and tension/release of Chicago Footwork rhythms. In addition to releasing on his own Atom River imprint Myson is now a regular contributor to Civil Music and his 2013 debut for the label 'Hyper Real' further revealed his stylistic slipperiness. Morphing the rhythmic geometry around footwork’s 160BPM tempo the release's highly melodic, nimble dance-floor sophistication was equal parts cerebral and hedonistic.

'Mega City Industry' continues where he left off and for an artist that has never put a foot wrong, with a catalogue which must be the envy of the vast majority of electronic musicians, it is with some gravitas we suggest that Mega City Industry is his most engaging work to date. Blending widescreen space and chimeric panorama with iron-fist industrial rhythms and cosmic dread Myson draws subtle, sinuous electronic connections between complex rhythm structures, sleek synth contours, frozen ambience and the darkside rush of growling bass. Rendered with breathtaking sound design the production is almost unfathomable - crisp and airy whilst pneumatic and heavy. Brimming in sensation, tempered skill and emotional mastery Mega City Industry is a sophisticated and expertly reduced EP.

An artist making some of the most exciting incursions in footwork to date Ital Tek continues to tour the world with his breathtaking live performances. Mega City Industry is released on 7th April 2014 on Civil Music. 12” and Download.

London-born and based musician and multi-instrumentalist Zeb Samuels has announced the release of the single, ‘Astral Commence’ out now via Deep Heads. The single, musically directed by Zeb Samuels, is the collaborative project of an array of talented musicians including Kiko Continentino (keys), Byron Wallen (trumpet and flugelhorn), Marc Cyril (bass) and Roy Reemy (drums). 
 
Zeb Samuels has seen support from a number of tastemaker publications, including the likes of CLASH Magazine, Magnetic Magazine, XLR8R, Electronic Groove and Decoded Magazine as well as airplay from BBC Radio 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson, Don Letts and Nemone & 5FM’s Kid Fonque.

As a label owner, Zeb Samuels has worked alongside many rising artists, including the likes of SYNKRO, Djrum, Joe Armon- Jones, Congi, Geode and Ash Walker.

The musicians on the single each have their own impressive history behind them. Starting with Kiko Continentino who played keyboards and synths for Azymuth and worked with Milton Nascimento, then moving on to Byron Wallen, who trained with Jimmy Owens, Donald Byrd and Jon Faddis before going on to work with George Benson, Chaka Khan, Courtney Pine and Lonnie Liston Smith. Marc Cyril continues the trend, having worked alongside the likes of Joss Stone, Keziah Jones, Jr Walker & The All Stars while Roy Reemy, hailing from Tel Aviv, brings his own set of unique skills.

Opening with the delicately cascading piano keys and soulful trumpet, ‘Astral Commence’ takes its time, gently exploring the surrounding soundscapes before developing a slow build of syncopation. Occasionally drifting to the absurd and experimental, with an air of a smoke-filled lounge and live musicians jamming it out on stage, the single still manages to maintain its cohesive and polished atmosphere. The result leaves the listener eager to repeat the experience and peel back another layer of the transformative track.

Speaking of the creation of the single, Zeb Samuels tells us: “‘Astral Commence’ is a track that has taken over 2 years to complete. It’s the first record that is totally production-based without me performing on. Some of my heroes have contributed to the record, so I feel very honoured and proud to have put this all together.”

Hope you enjoy
