UTM - Podcast #049 By Metric [Feb 2023]

Katalog-Nr.: UTMR068
Drum and Bass
Releasedatum: 24. Februar 2023

Das allgegenwärtige Jungle-Revival im Drum and Bass ist uns nicht verborgen geblieben. Doch möchten wir dieser Strömung auf unsere eigene Weise Tribut zollen. Wir haben eine EP zusammengestellt, die sich dem archaischen Sound verschrieben hat – irgendwo zwischen Ed Rush & Optical und Bad Company – sich aber moderner Produktionsmethoden bedient. So möchten wir ein Stück weit die Wurzeln freilegen, auf denen sich der zeitgenössische Trommelbass gründet. Dies nehmen wir zum Anlass, um mit Echochambers einen gänzlich neuen Artist vorzustellen, der in Neuseeland lebt. Er bringt gleich zwei Nummern in die EP ein: „Tectonic Plates“ ist ein Sägezahnthriller, der tektonisch so einiges ins Wanken bringen kann, während „Baggs Snott“ mit seinen Squeaks und der wabernden Bassline eher auf den 2000er BC-Pfaden wandelt. Mit Acid Lab aus Deutschland konnten wir einen Protagonisten gewinnen, der als Aushängeschild für darken, amen- und teilweise Jungle-lastigen Sound internationale Wertschätzung genießt. „Generate“ steppt sauber und organisch auf den Spuren des einstigen Virus-Sounds. Als dritten im Bunde haben wir wieder UK-Legende Neil Badboy an Bord, der hier mit „Dreams“ eine rotzig-laute Variante von Oldschool-JumpUp hinlegt. Da biegt sich alles, was wie die Wurzeln arbeitet. Eine Menge Holz, diese EP!

The ubiquitous Jungle revival in Drum and Bass has not remained hidden from us. But we want to pay tribute to this trend in our own way. We’ve put together an EP that’s committed to the archaic sound – somewhere between Ed Rush & Optical and Bad Company – but uses modern production methods. In this way we would like to bare a bit of the roots on which the contemporary Drum and Bass is based. We take this as an opportunity to introduce Echochambers, a completely new artist who lives in New Zealand. He brings two numbers into the EP: „Tectonic Plates“ is a sawtooth thriller that can shake a lot tectonically, while „Baggs Snott“ with its squeaks and the wafting bassline is more on the 2000s BC path. With Acid Lab from Germany, we were able to win a protagonist who enjoys international esteem as a figurehead for dark, amen and partly Jungle-heavy sound. „Generate“ steps cleanly and organically on the trail of the Virus sound of the past. As the third in the league we have UK legend Neil Badboy on board again, who here with „Dreams“ lays down a snotty, loud variant of oldschool JumpUp. Everything that works like roots bends there. This EP is a whole lot!
