Colossius is well known for his edgy touch made of glitches, cold atmospheres,and his killer samples walking hand by hand with his crispy drums. But the man wanted to give us an unpredictable and unique gift this time: in this mix he explores his different influences from Cosmic Music to Future Roots Dub flirting with Skwee, Bassline music ecc. creating a wide range of vibes and moods.

Here they come Again: The Savants are back!
But they are not the same. The Virus has been spread and 4 maverick producers have been engaged to join our cosmic army after being infected.
The first to join this new mission is Munis who got Nebula Red and broke its previous organic flow into a broken riddim which cripples into jazzy synths, epic arpeggios and a pad which seems to arise from underwater like a scuba.
Then is up to Spin Off who reworked Empathy encreasing the funky feeling with a strong PFUNK approach: this sliding funky lead and claps are what we were waiting for to party wild.
...Grovekingsley jumped onboard with his ESP then: Chasing Esper becomes a narcolectic slowmotion trip made by gentle concrete sounds, low frequencies oscillations, droning vocoders and interstellar tensions.
The EP closes with the veteran Colossius who took care of the Rainbow with his classic style made of crushy synths and punching kick drums.
Listen Up then Back to the Earth.

Colossius - 4 Enzo B.I.G

QS is lucky and had the chance to listen this wonderful record few months ago.
We've always thought Colossius is an hot producer, but this is the time to enstablish is position as one of the most edgy.
4 Enzo B.I.G. is his new effort on Fresh Yo and it could be superficially catalogued into the new trend of Footwork: this movement is based on a language which is a natural evolution of Ghetto Tech and Booty bass and it's a music for black community to dance.
Colossius kept the influence through the speed of drumming and sampling and transposed this elements in a sort of white nightmare were pitch control, grooves and subtle informations become the weapons for his frontal aggression to the listeners.
The record open with Isol 8 whose drums are an omage to the footwork sounds walking hands in hands with the breathing strings which seem have been stolen to AFX, Volverine works on a breaks which underlines the importance of Loop in abstract music, Viale Ready is a Skwee infection...Kilosa is a Footwork aggression featured a crazy vocal cut which encounters a lfo wave increasing the tension till the end of the track. Pyrotek and Overnait give room to empty space and abstraction and let the listener have a break from the hypercinetic moods of the previous tracks.
The EP ends with Blitz Taylor, a groovy downtempo built on a monolithic drum and a vocal sample which stands between a black mass and captured alien signals...
This work stands to footwork in the same way post punk standed to dub music.
The artwork colours and shapes fits very well the entire mood.
This is a Killer release and will be followed by a 7" very soon.

Intergalactic Travels

Urban Waves put together a bunch of producers from around the world to define its vision of cosmic beats. This wonderfull compilation focuses on downtempo future beats and scifi hip hop with a strong impact.
The general quality of the producers involved is outstanding and the overall mood is something that stands between a futuristic smokey jazz club and a space with no gravity were bodies, fragments, stars and the electricity of the machines flow together in a natural choreography.
We proudly contributed at the developing of this funky project with a brand new Go Savant! track.
Go and get the entire album.
Recomended.

UXO vs DIGI

Here comes the long-awaited first collaborative effort by UXO and Digi G'Alessio.
Known for their different imprint - Digi's contagious booty shaking basslines and UXO's mental spacey flow - the two Italian beatmakers explicitly choose to work on the complementary areas of their sonic spectrum, which is also represented within the (((QS)))'s metaphorical artwork.
Technically, the duo fill the gaps using the most classic proficiency inherited from the hip hop school, the remix.
On the other hand, common areas of interest are kept such as their passion for Africanism and black music, the authenticity of the hardcore attitude and the music made by samples.
The result of this partnership is an homogeneous resume of the aforementioned experiences. If you are searching for postmodern instrumental hip hop strongly affected by future funk, cosmic music, dub, sci-fi tensions and basslines, this record is just made for your egoistic pleasure.
Out Now on Plynt.
Buy it or steal it))).
