welcome to the first commercial release from capitalrecordings,
based in wellington new zealand. 'earwork 02 is the sum of many
parts û local design company eyework design, student radio show,
and newly formed recording label, capitalrecordings. compiled by
radio activeÆs jewell school hosts, zen and andy, with an emphasis
on style over genre, 'earwork 02' stands as a testimony to the
high quality of music being born, created and recorded in
bedrooms, apartments and beach houses in new zealand (especially
wellington). from the exclusive opening cut from local legends mu
& dallas (aka joe dukie & dj fitchie), to the blunted funk of dub
connection, dj vee's cut 'n' paste beatscape, melbourne based jet
jaguar's delicious squelching electronica (with vee on the cut),
miles "audio sauce" tilly with the beautifully bent slow-mo house
of "funkstar too", the gorgeous "easy life" from tubbs (featuring
hamish clarke on vocals), to the final deep stuttering magic of
the dubby closer from tony naironi (aka toby laing), these local
tracks stack up well against their illustrious international
counterparts (beatless, 4 hero and atjazz). pure listening
pleasure for any discerning and open minded contemporary music
fan. recommended. (for fans of freddy's drop, rae & christian,
kruder & dorfmeister, aim, and other such beat-based delights
