Having come to prominence in the late 00s as one of the more distinctive and
entertaining voices in the new beat scene, Fulgeance, has cheekily christened his own
brand of hip hop meets electro and party friendly sounds Low Club. On Step Thru he
continues to explore the same space, taking his music further down below into the
dark, cavernous crevices that lie between hip hop and electronics. Fulgeance's hip
hop roots are still visible throughout Step Thru, most notably on the album's two
vocal cuts. Whut It Iz features Brooklyn MC Fresh Daily for a bumping and lurid
transatlantic collaboration built on a sturdy riddim that balances neon bright
melodies with darker bass lines. On the other side is Break Them Down with Yinka, a
Greek MC Fulgeance first connected with years ago. The beat is as low as it can be
without falling underground, sparse yet packing a punch and made all the more
hypnotic thanks to Yinka's flow and his politically charged and socially conscious
lyrics.
More than a month before the release date, the album was anounced on Pitchfork, XLR8R
and Potholes in my Blog. We have also secured an exclusive coverage on URB Magazine,
additional coverage on XLR8R and additional interview on Potholes in my Blog. The
support from the industry professionals who got the early promos is very encuraging,
hype is building. Step Thru will be released as a limited-edition CD on the rx:tx
label, the third release in the label's exclusive CD series and marking its recent
reinvention. Just like with the previous two CD in the series, the packaging is an
impressive effort using the label's signature design concept, developed by
Multipraktik, and with cover graphics by ease, a member of Wood collective (F).
