Known collectively as Above & Beyond, Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki make up one of the world’s most successful dance acts, with recent artist album “Common Ground” entering the Billboard 200 at number three. In 2016 the Grammy-nominated trio left the electronic music world behind. Above & Beyond Acoustic: Giving Up The Day Job follows the group’s unlikely journey from the DJ booth to the Hollywood Bowl, from the initial re-imagining of songs at Abbey Road Studios, through to their presentation at iconic global venues such as London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House and finally the Hollywood Bowl. With a travelling party of 17 musicians plus a 34-piece orchestra in LA, the new film is an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at one of the world’s biggest dance acts as they risk it all to go acoustic.
Above & Beyond Acoustic: Giving Up the Day Job was directed by award-winning directors Paul Dugdale and Myles Desenberg. Paul Dugdale with Scheme Engine (Ed Sheeran: Jumpers For Goalposts, The Rolling Stones Olé, Olé, Olé!: A Trip Across Latin America) directed the live concert at The Hollywood Bowl, and Myles Desenberg of BAFTA-nominated production company Archer’s Mark, directed the tour documentary.
Despite being relative newcomers to the drum & bass scene, Essex based duo Hillsdom, otherwise known as Jake Hicks and Jack Pike, have been deeply immersed in music since childhood. After playing and performing in several rock bands together, the two friends came together to release their first drum & bass track last year, ‘Lucid Dreams’, on UKF’s Pilot label.
Futurebound has long been known to spot budding talent for Viper, and further propelled the duo’s career forward with the release of ‘Thoughtless’ on last year’s Summer Slammers compilation, followed by ‘Sluggish’ on Viper’s 2018 Annual album, along with their recent remix of the Brookes Brothers’ ‘Now I’m Found’ from their new album, ‘Orange Lane’.
The talented duo are now back with yet another dynamic release on Viper, this time with a two-sided single that highlights both their diversity and increasingly distinctive sound. ‘Nocturne’, features the vocal talent of Novokane, who was featured on their first single ‘Lucid Dreams’. Soothing vocals glide over production that is simultaneously elegant and heavy, a unique and memorable sound which is quickly becoming their trademark.
On the flip, ‘Urban 64’ is an elegant and fluid track with spacious atmosphere, with bold, echoing, xylophone-driven melodies juxtaposed against their unique techy-yet-groovy bass.
Hillsdom have once again proven they are a name to watch in the drum & bass scene, and Viper is proud to add their latest release to the labels prestigious catalogue.
