[Album Review] Weaver Beats – Conscience

Posted by Mark McNulty - December 20, 2016

Weaver Beats has been quietly producing some of the best chill-hop, wave music, and future sound from Honolulu, Hawaii, and how he’s dropped the crown jewel of his collection, his Conscience LP.

The hallmarks of this beatmaker are supremely deep but subtle bass, crisp percussion that consistently slaps, and ethereal pads which he employs to great emotional effect. All three elements are blended to perfection on this LP, making Conscience a vital contribution to the growing tidal bore where wave music, hip-hop and future music collide and mix. So aware of this bore is Weaver Beats that he founded his own label, Future Vibes, where “all sub-genres of future music are welcome.”

Weaver Beats tends to stay away from the sample-collage style and lo-fi aesthetic that is so typical of beat purists, preferring instead to work with the elements listed above. In this way, his music can appear formulaic, but that doesn’t take away from it’s raw impact. Crank your speakers up, especially your sub, and try not to be washed away by the waves emanating from this LP.

The producer states on his Soundcloud account that he attempted to introduce more vocal sampling for this project. For the most part, such sampling sounds more like an instrument, a piece of the sonic puzzle, than an indispensable vocal lead. The title track exemplifies this. The songs ran a gambit of tempos, from the title track’s familiar get-low trap tempo to the unexpected soft-stepping house beat of “Hybrid”, and the stutteringly slow and sweet “Fall In Love” featuring the talented, tongue-in-cheek producer Multirex. The title track is flipped three times by producers Kazukii, MiscellaneousT, and Danky to round out the album.

This is superb study music, driving music, background or forefront music. In its beautiful simplicity Conscience achieves this versatility. Listen deeply and you can get lost in between the rupturous kicks and snares on “Villain”, within the looped guitar sample on “Indigo”, or beneath the subterranean bass on “Hold Me”. Add it to your collection here.

[Experimental] MODEL 86 – Missing

MODEL 86
MISSING

Soundcloud

We last heard from this electronic producer with his EP generously titled, “When You Realise People Are Not One Dimensional Characters In A Movie Of Your Life“–check out our thoughts on it here. The London beat smith, MODEL 86, is back already with the first single release from another incoming album. The lead single, “Missing” has many of the experimental elements we’re familiar with, but there seems to be a more driven and organized sound. With changes around each corner “Missing” is a dynamic listen and the main melody is just infectious.

[Event Preview] BUKU Music & Arts Project March 10-11

Posted by Mark McNulty - December 16, 2016

Every city in America has its own music scene, but in New Orleans, music is a way of life – a cultural infrastructure as essential to the city as its freeways and French Quarter. Jazzfest attracts the best in rock, folk and jazz to NOLA each year, but for those of us who want more youthful, visceral music and a more colorful, fluid experience, BUKU Music and Arts Project goes down on March 10-11, 2016 for the sixth year straight.

BUKU stands out in a saturated music festival market both for its timing (arguably the first big event of “festival season”) and it’s consistently nuanced lineup. No one is reinventing the wheel by stacking their lineup with hip-hop, indie, and dance music, but whom are you booking specifically? It takes balls and creativity to craft a card of eclectic, forward-thinking and often experimental artists like what BUKU has assembled. Where else can you see Deadmau5 and Travis Scott? Clams Casino and Troyboi? Shiba San and Thundercat? If you’ve answered, “I can see them at Festival XYZ,” it doesn’t matter, because that’s not in New Orleans.

BUKU is set just outside the city’s French Quarter on a sprawling riverside esplanade. The Power Plant stage is adjacent to the river and sits in the shadow of an abandoned industrial colossus. Two indoor stages diversify the vibe with The Ballroom offering an intimate aesthetic, and the Float Den serving as a massive gathering spot lined with Mardi Gras floats and craft vendors. A fourth stage, the Back Alley, is tucked beneath the Crescent City Connection bridge and offers an unbroken stream of dance music all day and into the night.

[Electronic] Whethan – Savage feat. Flux Pavilion & MAX

Savage (feat. Flux Pavilion & MAX)

Buy

This track was already impressive when looking at the list of producers who added their personal touch, but Chicago based producer, Whethan, alone has had an impressive 2016. With three singles already under his belt including several well done remixes, sets at Electric Forest, HARD Summer and more, this breakout producer has made his mark in the music scene.

“Savage,” released via Big Beat White Label, featuring Flux Pavilion and MAX, incorporates the sensual vocals of MAX, an epic Whethan, future bass, melody and hints of Flux’s hard hitting bass and distorted synths. The three talented producers melded together creates a dance floor ready track sure to be featured the rest of 2016 into 2017’s festival season.

Along with “Savage” Whethan has announced a tour, beginning in Virginia Beach, VA and ending in Vancouver, BC. Check out all the stops here.

[Electronica] Gramatik – Satoshi Nakamoto (Psymbionic Remix)

Satoshi Nakamoto (Psymbionic Remix) ft. Adrian Lau & ProbCause

Buy

Gramatik has been a driving force behind the rising popularity of so-called genres like future funk and electro soul in the past few years. As the head of Lowtemp Music he offers a platform for any artist to release music, and on his 2016 album “Epigram” his futuristic, synth-laden, funkadelic sound continued to evolve. Psymbionic is an extremely talented producer who has risen to popularity in the wide swatch of new sonic ground which Gramatik and others helped to break. Although he explicitly steers clear of genre classifications, Psymbionic produces a strain of futuristic funk akin to the material on “Epigram”, so we were stoked hear of his new remix of Gramatik’s “Satoshi Nakamoto”.

Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoins, and Gramatik maintains a thorough interest in tech frontiers. Fittingly, the thematic material in this tune matches the motif of Psymbionic’s current “Biohackers” U.S. tour. As for how the remix sounds, Psymbionic has preserved the most endearing elements of Gramaitk’s sample-collage style, while adding his own razor-sharp basslines and stabbing synthesizers to create a clever new arrangement. As technology continues to pervade every aspect of our lives, banging remixes like this – constructed with the finest musical technology and commenting on technological frontiers like the bitcoin era and “crypto currency” – are tunes to be treasured.
