For SC:Digital 007, the first release for SCD since the site relaunch, I managed to secure two tracks from long time SC Forum member Will 'Escher' Hansen.
'Boomka Boomka' is a militant (remember way back when tunes used to be described as militant?) and moody stepper, building up steam with a skanky rolling offbeat step to it that's slowly and gradually joined by a variety of buzzing industrial mechanical sounds, vaguely menacing screeches bleeps and warps, stops and starts, and some rather nice strings that give the kind of rough-with-the-smooth vibe rarely done right this side of the nineties. Fans of the moodiness and the general sonic palette of earlier prototype sound would be well advised to check this.
The second track 'Hi-Tek' starts off with a seriously tight rolling break that is soon jined by a dreamy combination of harmonious reverbed pads, the celestial vibes anchored firmly to the floor and the gut by the intermittent snarls of the deep midrange and the gradually evolving percussive elements. The second drop flips things in a different direction with the addition of some strings, a breathy but sparingly employed female vocal and some further percussion... Serious deepness from this up and coming producer, if you're digging the vibes from the more forward thinking end of the liquid spectrum then this is the sort of tune you can't do without - they'll be dancing with their eyes closed, trust!
Thanks to Tyranny for the track descriptions, and thanks to Voi for the great artwork accompanying the release.
