Shakes - System of a Down BYOB - Bootleg

HOLLOW POINT RECORDINGS DIGITAL #5:  SHAKES — MOVING ON EP


Newcomer Shakes steps up to plate for Hollow Point Digital #5, the Moving On EP.  This five pack of truly unique tracks take orchestral elements from around the world and dubby bass lines and combines them with an experimental slant to create what is sure to be a hit with jocks and fans alike in the West Coast future bass scene.

Shakes’ take on this style is no more exemplified than on the first track, Deux Temps.  Reminiscent of 90’s downbeat but with just enough dirt to stay firmly in dubstep country, this somber and emotive dub has two specific movements—each with its own personality.  On the first, a string quartet and pianos dance with a heavy yet tasteful baseline.  On the second, things get deep when a strong cello solo rolls over shuffle drums with glitch elements.  Stirring and expressive, Shakes carves out a truly unique style on Temps.

On Lullaby, heavy glitch whomp rides over an off-kilter beat in this experimental and evolving tune.  Midway, Middle Eastern strings join the party to add a unique flavor to the mix.  In the third movement, a full-on orchestra of strings, woodwinds, and brass gets the dubstep treatment in a driving outro.

Rounding out the EP are three more uniquely moody dubs from this up and coming talent.  With Amusia, Shakes melds traditional Rhythm and Blues with modern Dubstep. Mixing orchestral elements with a tasteful bass line and typical dubstep changes and wind-ups, Amusisa is a new kind of old funk,

He takes things a little heavier on Waffle.  This chuggy stepper blends a heavy, driving beat with a unique drone and hints of pianos to create a dark bass masterpiece.  

With Music 9, a teased-in, subdued sexy ragtime vocal shares energies with piano stabs and a churning baseline in this ethereal dub.  True to form, at the break, Shakes lulls us to dreamland with an emotive string section, only to shatter the peace with stomping bass kicks and some good ol’ fashioned whomp.
