Tue, 14th May
One of my most eagerly awaited releases of the year so far comes from Shogun Audio and Alix Depaux (otherwise known as Perez) in the form of his second album, ‘Chroma Chords.’ It’s been a while in the making – his eternally innovative debut collection ‘1984’ was released four years ago, and its wide-spread (and rightly deserved) attention undoubtedly cemented his status as one of the most exciting producers in drum and bass. Drawing together Perez’ hip hop and soul influences comes this diverse sophomore work; full of remarkable collaborations from across the board. The opener ‘Crystals’ is a broken beat electronica track; immediately straying from any typical DnB restraints. ‘Broken Heart’ continues in this mellow yet futuristic theme, featuring some sensual synth input courtesy of Two Inch Punch. Two of the tracks on this 15-song selection feature the sublime Read More
