│ RELEASE INFO │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│ │
│ Aquasky are from Bournemouth, UK. They started their career in │
│ 1995 when they were signed to Moving Shadow Records for a 3 │
│ record deal on the back of their massively sucessful │
│ 'Dezires/Images' single which was remixed by DJ Krust. │
│ │
│ But before then they individually had sucess under their │
│ individual projects. Dave Wallace was known for his early jungle │
│ tunes as Rave Doctor/Fugative on Underdog Recordings. Keiron │
│ Bailey for his Artinis/New Vision work also on drum and bass │
│ label Underdog and Brent Newitt (Bower) for his hip hop releases │
│ as Jaziac Sunflowers on Bob Jones' Black on Black label. │
│ │
│ In 1996 Aquasky signed to Polydor/Polygram where they recorded │
│ the Orange Dust LP. This contained the singles 'Raw Skillz │
│ (Featuring Big Kwam and the first ever Scratch Perverts │
│ adventure onto vinyl) and the drum and bass track Opaque which │
│ made an appearance in the UK national charts. Also on the LP was │
│ the hip hop track 'Rough' featuring Big Shug from the Gangstarr │
│ Foundation │
│ │
│ Whilst signed to Polydor the trio also released on Reinforced │
│ Records (Concrete Boom EP) and R&S (Dave Wallace under his own │
│ name with the 'Future Realties' single and Keiron and Brent │
│ worked as Skin Divers where 2 singles were released) and Dave │
│ put out the Soul Motive EP on Nuphonic Records. │
│ │
│ In 1999 Aquasky returned to their drum and bass birthplace │
│ Moving Shadow where they recorded 2 LP's 'Bodyshock' and │
│ 'Aftershock'. Bodyshock contained drum and bass tracks such as │
│ 'Sonix' and 'Battlestar' and a funky breakbeat number titled │
│ 'Blue Thunder' that was made world famous when it was featured │
│ on the first Tony Hawk game. The Aftershock album was the first │
│ time that Aquasky ventured into breakbeat back in 2000. This was │
│ a remix LP containing mixes by London Electricity, Adam Freeland │
│ (his first ever venture onto vinyl) and Aquasky themselves. │
│ │
│ A series of 12"s also came out on Moving Shadow during the years │
│ 1999-2002. These included tracks such as 'The Stalker', │
│ 'Bulletproof' (which was remixed by Higher Sense out of the RAM │
│ crew), 'Spectre', 'Subdivison' and 'Nightvision'. │
│ │
│ Whilst these singles were being released, Aquasky started a new │
│ project and new name. Tenth and Parker was in essense a live │
│ jazz/house/latin band and an LP was released called │
│ 'Twenty:Twelve' on the renowned Mr. Bongo label. This vocal │
│ project contained many famous names including Mark Murphy (US │
│ Jazz singer who has recorded on Muse, Atlantic, Prestige and │
│ Riverside to name a few) Snowboy ( Percussionist who spearheaded │
│ the whole Acid Jazz movement and is world famous for his group │
│ The Latin Section and for his work with Lisa Stansfield) and the │
│ band also contained the bassist from Fairground Attraction and │
│ Blur's horn section. 3 singles came from this outing including │
│ 'Kool Down' which was featured on a Norman Jay compilation for │
│ Nuphonic. This later was remixed by King Britt. │
│ │
│ In 2001 Aquasky started their alias Aquasky Vs. Masterblaster. │
│ This was after a meeting with Vini Medley of Botchit and Scarper │
│ Records and their first breakbeat 12" surfaced on his label │
│ titled 'Sureshot' later that year. This was followed up by the │
│ mighty force of the '777' EP which turned out to be the biggest │
│ selling single for the label. In 2002 they were asked to record │
│ an LP, their 5th. Titled 'Beat the System' this was a benchmark │
│ album which announced that Aquasky had arrived and that they │
│ were here to shake things up. Bringing the dance ethos of drum │
│ and bass into breakbeat, Aquasky created a new genre of the │
│ scene. A sound and vibe that was made to make a dancefloor │
│ shake. With influences taken from their drum and bass/hardcore │
│ background this was an orginal concept that many copied and many │
│ were inspired by. │
│ │
│ In 2002 Moving Shadow decided to remix some of their extensive │
│ 12 year back catalogue and Aquasky Vs. Masterblaster were asked │
│ to pick 2 tracks that they were influenced by. 'Lord of the Null │
│ Lines' by Hyper on Experience and 'Renegade Snares' by Omni Trio │
│ were chosen and remixed to now legendary proportions. These sold │
│ so well that the label decided to start a sister label titled │
│ Shadow Cryptic to support the breakbeat scene. The obvious step │
│ was to ask Aquasky to record another album. So in 2003 their 6th │
│ LP 'Stayfresh' was made. This time the emphasis was to make a │
│ new, fresher album with broader influences. Stayfresh has │
│ already been checked as the most important breakbeat LP so far. │
│ New ideas were presented and the guys turned the scene on its │
│ head making them now one of the hottest producers in the world │
│ of Breakbeat │
│ │
│ There are also a host of remixes that Aquasky have played apart │
│ in including Master Ace, The Freestylers, DJ Deekline, 4 Hero, │
│ Sneaker Pimps, Art of Noise and A Guy called Gerald │
│ │
│ Aquasky are also all accomplished DJ's and have travelled the │
│ world many times exciting clubs and festivals with their broad │
│ approach to music and a good ear for a bit of bass. This has │
│ assisted them in establishing their own labels Passenger, Sonix │
│ and Incident which they use as a base for their productions and │
│ a home for many other artists from Finland to America to New │
│ Zealand. │
