13 Jahre tempo90 feat. FRACTURE – London, UK (Astrophonica, Metalheadz, Exit)

Samstag 31.5.2014
Villa Wuller, Trier

Wir feiern unseren Geburtstag nach. Als Gast dazu bringen wir einen DJ & Producer nach Trier, der in den letzten Jahren Drum&Bass musikalisch nach vorne gebracht hat: FRACTURE!

Unter dem Namen Fracture produziert Charlie Fieber bereits seit den 1990ern Drum´n´Bass. Sein eigenes Label Astrophonica hat sich einen festen Platz in der Szene erarbeitet. Aktuell hat er Releases auf Metalheadz, dem wohl berühmtesten D&B-Label überhaupt, als auch auf dem innovationstreibenden Label der 2010er, Exit Records.

Mit ebenfalls aktuell heiss gehandelten Artists wie Om Unit und Machinedrum verbinden Fracture gemeinsame Produktionen – und die gemeinsame Vision, Chicagoer Juke- und Footwork-Einflüsse mit Drum´n´Bass und Jungle zu fusionieren. Für diesen Trend hat Fracture mit ‚Get Busy* auf Exit DEN Pioniertrack kreiert.

In seinen stilsicheren DJ-Sets verbindet er seine Lust auf Neues mit Gespür für Rhythmen und Raum zwischen klassischer Jungle-Ästhetik und zeitgenössischer Produktion. Was sollte besser zum Jubiläum von tempo90 passen?


The mix on Soundcloud

In this mix Myom showcases an ever-evolving continuum of roots conscious but progressive, non-nostalgic productions in the 170 bpm range. It is a compilation of darker drum´n´bass tracks that expand the boundaries of the genre, by layering their rhythms over a half time feel and incorporating influences from footwork/juke, trap, dubstep and jungle.

Fresh tunes by classic artists like Digital & Spirit, Dom & Roland or Amit meet a new generation of productions from the likes of Om Unit, Fracture or Stray. If you need prove, that drum´n´bass is still an interesting electronic music genre, that hasn´t dumbed down to just another generic, in-your-face club sound, listen carefully.

By carefully choosing his selection, layering tracks to carefully transform atmospheres and craft evolving vibes, Myom slowly draws you into the mix: At first you´re just tapping your foot, then nodding your head until you find yourself bouncing frantically around the room, before you are released with a stomping, emotional finale.

Musical explorer Myom´s podcasts don´t just promise a musical journey, they deliver with meticulous selection and mixing. His more than 15 years of experience behind the decks shine through his podcasts, that document his continuing effort to push the art of the dj mix. His recordings are unedited live takes with slight imperfections, because Myom favors ‚real‘ over ‚perfect‘ anytime.

The archive of Myom´s podcasts from 2004 onward can be found here.
