Nature : Forget The Theory [AT031]

Forget The Theory features two arrangements and five original pieces written by Kevin Higgins for his group Nature – a quartet with voice, electric guitar, electric bass and drums. The material was honed in a dozen live performances, then recorded over two days in spring 2012. The result is an album of dark grooves, mixing techno, funk and dubstep with contemporary jazz.

In the foreground, ethereal vocals and frenzied guitar carry on an improvised dialogue. Forget The Theory captures the energy of their alternating conflict and cooperation. Behind them there’s tension of another kind, as club-inspired drum beats threaten to melt into jazz cross-rhythms.

This album was built off basslines: some abstract and symmetrically structured, some just funky. Either way, every tune was designed to make you nod your head. Enjoy the bouncy pulse and powerful perfomances of a young band playing with passion.”

Gblanco : Hank’s Lair [stasis014]

“Born in Madrid in 1982, Guillermo Blanco has always been fascinated by music. He became involved with his city’s underground community as soon as he started to spin records.

Later on, he formed a collective along with some friends and began to throw parties, as well as stablishing his own bar called ‘Tesoro’, together with Mora. Despite its limited capacity, it rapidly drew the attention of the experienced clubbers and turned into one of the references of Madrid’s scene in terms of quality electronic music.

Afterwards, as a logical evolution, he began to produce music and collect vintage & modern hardware synths.
His music takes influences from dub, Chicago & Detroit house/techno, ambient, drones, experimental and classic…

He is one of the heads of ELEVE record label and he develops his career as an Information Systems Engineer besides” (http://soundcloud.com/gblanco).
