Sunjaman : Outta Here [DPH012]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on March 11, 2014

“Sunjaman is an upcoming producer from Athens, Greece. Being a musician & bass player himself, he has always been exploring the sound of the bass, trying to travel into new territories on his effort to establish his own sound. On the process of exploring the bass territory, he had joined many bands and created numerous side-projects, from punk to hiphop. Nevertheless, dub has always been his main goal.

Inspired by the originality of roots dub and influenced by the modern dub steppa scene, he began to produce and public his tracks online. He made his debut release in 2013 and continued with many collaborations and releases. This is the first time he collaborates with Dubophonic. The style of Sunjaman’s can’t be described by only one musical genre. It combines many elements of bass music, such as dubstep, jungle, steppa, roots, dubwise. This is eminent in this 7-track EP, consisting of three original tracks and four alternative cuts.

Nuff respect to Northical from the Greek band/soundsystem Kako Synapantima for vocalising ‘Heavyweight Sound’, as well as Manwel T from Dubkey Records for his version of ‘Outta Here’. Big shout out also to Jungle Raiders for a very energetic jungle cut of ‘Witness the day’. The cover art is credited to Katerina Arvaniti.”

Gongu : Remiscere Sonus [adpt016]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on March 9, 2014

“Exclusivesly live recorded, Remiscere Sonus is purely Techno. Well, this kind of blurred Techno that we really love in Adeptlabel. Gongu had enough perseverance to give us his own particular vision of our catalogue. He was pushed nearly to his boundaries but this music deserves it. It meant kudos for him.

The story about adpt016 began a long ago but the conception of the album was born in november 2013. The original idea was to make something like a mixtape. The track or tracks would be based on the music previously published at Adept. By doing so, we would be paying tribute to artists that gave his music and soul to the label in the last two years. It was also taken into consideration the fact of celebrating the second anniversary of us.

‘Translate’ the catalogue in order to make something new would not be an easy task. Firstly, permission was requested to the artists to abuse their tracks. During the following months Tarmac was reshaping those sounds. As a result of this process a bunch of pieces were made. Gongu finally will build a mixtape, joining things together.

So, he glued one loop to pad, a noise to a hit into something new: Remiscere Sonus. For an hour and a little more than six minutes he rediscovers Substak dark drones, Kraut Sounds piano noises, Dahlmann dub stabs, Bohdan highly effective landscapes, Volunteer warm angles, El Fulminador hits and Am.Light emotive resonances.”

Devennue : Forms [bsc_043]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on March 7, 2014

“Madrid based dub techno producer and Kraftmann Records label owner Devennue delivers a sublime four track EP for basic_sounds called Forms, including one remix by proclaimed dub techno aficionado, Overcast Sound. The compositions on Forms are different yet combine a common thread of continuity. Devennue thrives to demonstrate how concepts can be interrupted in different ways.

The opening track ‘Thearforms’, is a quiet meditative ambient soundscape that subtly introduces tranquil elements to float the listener along. Devennue switches pace with ‘Underforms’ an ambient dub journey combined with tension building organic percussion sounds, ultimately creating a more anxious composition. ‘Subforms’, the third number is saturated with pads and soft distant strings that roll-out into a slow, bass groove that slowly dissolves into idyllic airy landscape. Overcast Sound closes the release with a remix of ‘Underforms’. Michael Pettit transforms the original work by producing something ready to make you move on the dancefloor.”
