domu and volcov, two of the worldÆs leading broken beat pioneers,
make their debut appearance on residual recordings with the
awe-inspiring " last of the great apes" ep. their rather
impressive collective discographyÆs include works on such heralded
labels as jazzanova compost, archive, reinforced, and talkinÆ
loud.
the ep starts off in full force with " nutsuki". a powerful dj
friendly intro accented by broken 808 percussion. the composition
constantly builds with deep analog bass tones and smooth chords.
up next is titontonÆs rendition of secret powers. this remix has
been stripped to the bare essentials leaving intact the funkiest
of flavors required to decimate the dance floor.
the b side commences with battech, a work that epitomizes the
combination of detroit techno and broken beats; deftly crafted and
ingeniously programmed. the ep rounds out nicely with the highly
anticipated " secret powers" the work has received airtime and
chart status by such luminaries as jazzanova, kirk degiorgio, and
giles peterson. the shimmering pianos and melodic chords
accompanied by deep rolling bass lines make this track obligatory
in any discerning music loversÆ crate.
we are extremely fortunate to host the talents of these two highly
regarded composers. with the forthcoming album on jazzanova
compost and numerous appearances on world-renowned labels, this
record is sure to receive much attention and disappear quickly
from record shelves around the globe.
