Underscan Records 01 review
NOW is the new compilation series on Underscan which is released as four 12" vinyl records. A full length CD featuring all tracks will be put out aswell to coincide with the fourth and final EP. NOW presents the current state of the label and what is to be expected in the near future. Featured acts are Underscan recording artists GRAM, DALEZY, SOMSHIT, ONETHEMA, ROD and MENU:EXIT aswell as SCANNER, FRANK BRETSCHNEIDER, FUNCKARMA, EVEREST, QUENCH, FIBLA and others. FUNCKARMA opens the first installment in the series with the hectic uptempo track "BRIM"where soundscapes reverberate with a wall of melodies and echoes are combined with complex crisp beat structures. Funckarma consists of brothers Don and Roel Funken from the Netherlands who already have a strong reputation worldwide for their production work with the Shadowhuntaz, and many other projects. GRAM's deep bass track "KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER" follows up as a slow and reduced mind bender that creates an ominous atmo- sphere. Gram aka Graham Love from London has already released the "Simple Funk" EP on Underscan in 2001. This track keeps up with the very unique production skills GRAM stands for. SOMSHIT's track "ELZ ZUPPER" provides the listener with slightly distorted rhythmic variations and weird melodic fragments which shift towards a powerful harmonic climax at the end of the track. Somshit is Akira Sawada from Saitama/Japan who released his debut album "Paster" on Underscan in 2002. PYTLIK's wonderfully dreamy "ATMACHB" finishes the EP as the most seductive track. Classical melodies are wound up around tricky beats and evoke a floating listening feel. This very personal track by Menu:Exit member Ralf Pytlik unleashes emotions of transiency and unfulfilled hopes.
