This sampler is made up of a selection of tracks from Nuphlo's new album 'Digital Culture Clash'. It also includes remixes from French producer in demand Moresounds and Landslide (Hospital Records).
More sound kicks off the sampler with his remix of 'Mountains' featuring Sukh Knight. His mixture of driving Jungle informed Footwork and use of the hunting vocal makes this one a perfect compliment to the original lush melodies and forward thinking production. Next up, Landslides re-contructs 'Love You More' with his lazar sharp drums and uses the original's subtle musicality with a layered finesse of master!
The sampler then moves swiftly onto the Nuphlo's original versions of the two previous tracks before 'Rumba Box' kicks in. This one harks back to the golden era of jungle but with a distinctly modern sound. Beats and breaks get heavily edited and chopped, whilst MC's proclaims 'Bad Man'. Pure fire! 'Lo & Behold' featuring Mel Gray is next with its mixture of glitches out drum programming and dub style bass & FX, then lastly 'Digi-CC' finishes off the package with its carnival inspired drum work, deep sub bass and floating melodies.
A little about Nuphlo & 'Digital Culture Clash'
UK based Nuphlo re-invents global dance and bass music. Nuphlo’s new album Digital Culture Clash oozes of breakbeat and Jungle and ambient references with his trademark contemporary bass twist. Crisp, slick and deep. Nuphlo weaves global melodies, scales, rhythms and flavours into the backbone of nu-skool electronic music. On this album Nuphlo demonstrates and celebrates the ability of internationally diverse ideas and feelings coming together by means of sound. In an age of cultrual conflict, these transcultural sonic harmonies are more necessary than ever.
The idea behind the album was to combine textures from around the world in a contemporary way. From Leeds to Jamaica to Istanbul to Mumbai to LA and everywhere inbetween. Spanning over references from various nu-skool genres, coming across like a mesh rather than a clash.
Growing up in a culturally diverse city such as Leeds, Nuphlo has always been surrounded by music from a range of countries and cultures. As a chid at home he was surrounded by pop and spiriritual music from India. This integrated with influences from Reggae and Dub from Leed’s annual West Indian Carnival. In his teens Nuphlo was introduced to Asian Undergound music. As a British person of Indian descent, this genre made sesne. The idea of creating music that both sides of the cultural spectrum could relate to would be an ongoing mission for Nuphlo.
The tracks on the album can be rinsed in the club, played in the lounge and enjoyed in the headphones. Two years of work, vision and crafting have gone into the 14 track journey. Digital Culture Clash has seen the collaboration of Nuphlo with a vareity of musicians to create and updated version of the global bass music genre.
In a time where walls are still being built to divide nations and where scare tactics within politics are creating mental divisions between cultures. This album is an attempt to demonstrate how breaking down cultural barriers creates something positive.
