The Formula is a four-track EP of music written and composed by young Italian
producer and multi-instrumentalist Fabrizio æB.KunÆ Pollice with drums by Ed
æHEDÆ Amati. Together these two form Beat Inc., a project which was first
introduced as part of Original CulturesÆ 2011 production The Formula - from
which the EP take its name. B.Kun originally wrote most of the music on the EP
for the show which was performed live with HED on drums, Mannaman on bass,
Danilo Mineo on percussion and Architeq (UK) as dubmaster.
Following the success of the event, Original Cultures have curated four tracks
for the EP which were re-recorded in B.KunÆs studio. Everything you hear on
this EP has been played live - absolutely no computers. The music on The
Formula ranges from club friendly hip hop and dubstep tinged with electro on
Black Tea Morning and Nightfall to smoked out dub vibes on Just Remember and
nostalgic blues on Primitive Fire.
Remixes were also commissioned from close friends and collaborators of the
project including JapanÆs Daisuke Tanabe, LondonÆs Om Unit (who was among the
first artists to take parts in Original Cultures in 2009) and BrusselsÆ Squeaky
Lobster. Each delivers a unique take on the originals: Daisuke and Squeaky
Lobster send Black Tea Morning into more abstract hip hop realms while Om Unit
shows why he is one of 2012Æs most in demand artists by outdubbing Just
Remember into a low-slung riddim with chest-pounding sub aquatic bass.
