Transparent Audio presents Refraction Vol. 001
Buy: fanlink.to/TSA011-RefractionVol1

Kicking off Refraction Vol. 001 with a familiar face - Yannons returns to the label with a deep and soothing roller ‘Taken Away’.

Yannick has been with Transparent Audio from the very start when we launched the label exactly a year ago. So it only seems right to showcase the Dutch producer’s track as our first one of the compilation.

Yannons’ journey started after getting involved with the small Groningen based club nights titled 'Bassface’. Shortly after, Yannons picked up music production and ventured into the genre he loved – Drum & Bass. Over time his style progressed to a more stripped-back, minimal, deep, and techy form, characterized by groovy basslines, tight beats, and dark atmospheres. Yannons has now developed his own signature sound placing himself in the middle of deep melodic and more obscure forms of the genre.

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.

Golden Days features the super talented vocals of MC Stapleton. More well known for his live mcing at events like Renegade Hardware. Rob Stapleton shows his lyrical skills with a very different liquid, nostalgic flavour.

Guitars performed on all the tracks are by Steve's (Lynx) friend Simon Wiggins. Friends from the age of 11, they have had very different musical backgrounds. As they have got older they have found common ground between electronic music & rock via a love of funk & Jazz which can be heard in this release. It felt the right time to solidify an EP together. Bringing classy guitar liquid dnb. They have collaborated previously in his debut album The Raw Truth and plenty of other projects.

The EP also include collaborators, Empire Soul - A talented duo consisting of Gary Andrews & Pepijn Hoekstra. The two met in holland in the early 2000’s and shared a passion for music, Drum and Bass in particular. Since that time, the pair have largely been producing Dance music, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass, most of their tracks are upbeat, energetic and heavily influenced with a funky, soulful vibe.

Lastly a collaboration with Bagshot - Starting wrirting music together way back in 1996, Lynx & Bagshot have wrote many tracks together over the years under many different pseudonyms including Drop That on Lynx's Hospital Records album 'I am Lynx'.
