█ The solo debut from the producer behind Sage Francis' "Hell of a Year"!
█
█ No Passenger, the debut release from Australian producer Kurtis SP, is the
█ culmination of ten years' development. Kurtis first made a name for himself
█ in the late 90s while playing drums in one of Australia's first live hip hop
█ groups, Shin-Ki-Row. The Human Drum Machine (as he was once billed) was
█ renowned for simulating the feel of programmed drums on a live kit. Then,
█ wanting the freedom to work independently, things took a turn, 180 degrees:
█ he sold off his drum kit, replaced it with an SP-12 and started programming
█ chopped breaks to sound like live players.
█
█ Early experiments spawned an album's worth of material (including the beat
█ that later became Sage Francis's "Hell Of A Year" (from Human The Death
█ Dance), but something wasn't quite right; Kurtis scrapped the album, packed
█ his bags and set off traveling, eventually landing in the UK. He picked up
█ work at one of London's biggest recording studios where he went on to
█ engineer sessions for production legends Trevor Horn and Timbaland. But the
█ big budget pop wasn't tapping his buttons. He longed for grit. He longed for
█ 12 bit.
█
█ Back to the bedroom. To the samplers. To the records. To vintage gear and
█ instruments. To music with soul.
█
█ No Passenger weaves hundreds of disparate samples, along with touches of live
█ instrumentation, into a thoughtful and evocative tapestry. Introspective and
█ melancholy, yet positive and hopeful, No Passenger is the soundtrack to
█ loneliness and isolation, and to freedom and strength.
█
█ No Passenger is released in December 2009 on independent label Root and Stem,
█ with US distribution through Strange Famous Records.
█
█ OZMP3 - keeping it local since 1999.
█
█
█ Australian music kicks arse. Always has, always will. We're just glad
█ that you're all on board for the ride. We here at OZM will continue
█ to shove Australian music right in your face proving that it's at
█ least equal to and usually better than any international act.
