It’s been over a decade now that A$AP Mob bubbled up on the New York scene and began to impact East Coast hip-hop. From videos to fashion to the sound of rap itself, the Harlem crew has shown everyone in the game the kind of strides you can make when you act as a true collective. Dropping key albums individually and together, ROCKY, Ferg, Twelvyy, Nast, Ant and their partners have planted a flag for hard work and innovative ideas. They’re particularly busy right now. In August, they’re dropping ‘Cozy Tapes Vol. 2: Too Cozy’ and A$AP Ferg and A$AP Twelvyy also have new discs out. To celebrate this blast of creativity we invited both MCs into our New York studio to kick a few of the tracks live. Ferg busted “Nasty (Who Dat)” and “Plain Jane” from his ‘Still Striving” album. Twelvyy did “Strapped” and “Periodic Table” from ’12.’ They also performed together, wrecking the place spittin’ their way through “Hop Out.”
There can’t be many DnB emcees and vocalists who’ve written songs for Britney Spears, released tunes on Digital Soundboy, V Recordings and Technique, and toured with Wilkinson. In fact, there’s exactly one. Youngman. And now he’s back on Technique Recordings to push the art of vocal DnB a few notches further.
We’ve already heard the first part of his Spinning project, where, over a series of releases, Youngman’s song, written in collaboration with Kai Smith, is taken in three different musical directions. This time, we’ve got the Sunset Mix and, as you’d expect from that name, things are getting a little darker. The foundations are laid with some eighties horror-flick vibes in the intro as reverberating synth-drums echo around the vocal, adding weight and depth to the already-emotive song.
As the bassline and beat surge into view, accompanied by a broken-chord riff in the top end, the tune becomes all about the almost overwhelming analogue warmth. Off set with layers of percussion, the tune keeps building as new verses ride over the top. Without ever sacrificing musicality or soul, the tune builds a black-shadowed soundscape for ravers to lose themselves in.
All in all, this is a totally new take on the vocal from the producers and Technique bosses Drumsound & Bassline Smith. We’ve heard it delivered as liquid, as this darkly melodic roller, and there’s still one more twist to come. Can there be another surprise in the third and final act of the Spinning story?
Brazilian producers Alibi link up with legend of the Austrian scene Disaszt for two huge tracks on V Recordings which are guaranteed to be smashing it across the festivals this summer.
'I Got You' features the sublime vocals of Zarah, and combines huge vocal hooks, with deep, dirty basslines for the perfect vocal D&B roller. Expect this one to be played across the board, with Alibi's liquid combining effortlessly with Disaszt' neurofunk background. In contrast 'Double Trouble' is straight up dancefloor danger and picks up where Alibi's last V single 'Trunk' left off.
Alibi have been making real waves in the past 12 months, and their recent remix of Hybrid Minds 'Brighter Days' along with the last outing on V Recordings have elevated them as ones to watch in 2017! Daniel Disaszt is one of the pioneering figures of the European D&B scene, as a DJ, Promoter and Producer, and his label Mainframe has been providing big beats for 10 years and was the launch pad for many big names including Camo & Krooked and Mutated Forms amongst many others. An unexpected combination that has yielded two standout tracks, that further display the versatility of Alibi as they work towards their debut album on V Recordings.
