MAL030: Samples’ “Life of the Party”

mal — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 09:28:14 +0000

Ben Samples, well respected badman in the glitch hop arena, comes correct with a brand new batch of amazing, original material with his first full release from MalLabel Music, the deftly titled Life of the Party EP, four choice tunes ready to permeate dance floors worldwide Feb. 28^th.

The EP comprises a grip of spry, chunky grooves packaged magnificently into some incredible bass bin knocking jams. Opening up the EP is Capture the Flag, a beastly melody stuffed with heroic, buzzing analog bass lines grinding aside stoutly hip hop breaks. Second is a veritable attention grabber entitled Bred 2 Party, endowed with ripping, crunchily distorted leads and big beats sure to set a party in motion quickly. Song number three, Onyx, is a gutsy, funky track full of thickly laden warm fuzz tones and a slapping rhythm. Finally, closing out the EP is the darkest of the quartet. Basscraft chugs and lurches with a lumbering gate, spouting intriguing sound design audio bits and an eerie, superbly supernatural vibe.

The Life of the Party EP is a certified body mover, a gem of a release that continues MalLabel’s already sterling, diverse 2012 schedule, and it’s a demonstration of one of glitch hop’s supreme talents.

MAL029: Carrier’s “Left Coast”

mal — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:22:57 +0000

From one of the most innovative, original dubstep producers in North America comes the strongly musical and energetic Left Coast EP, three powerful and intricately programmed tunes from San Francisco whiz kid Carrier. From start to finish, each of the three original tunes on the EP showcase Carrier’s masterful, commanding production ability with rich, evolving synth tones, sparkling, clear drum kits, and a inimitably dark, menacing tone to the release. Finding a bountiful groove distant from the average, overplayed, raunchy bass sounds permeating today’s dubstep market, Carrier uses brain and brawn in equal portions to hatch a distinctly unique breed of tune, texturally sculpted, refined, and sharply cerebral.

Left Coast (featuring Turf Dubs), the title track, opens up the EP with a dark, dramatic urgency. Whistling West Coast gangster synthesizer melodies clash with futuristic, dystopic, sludgy bass rips, creating a smoldering, ultramodern opus. The next track on the release is Deathtouch, a sprawling and dark roller, packed with ominous and assaultive bass runs and Castlevania-esque leads. And finally, NTBFW (also featuring Turf Dubs) closes the EP out with gutted, raw, and rude saw wave midrange synths amid luscious, spacious, dubby atmosphere.

Carrier, formerly of NTRLD infamy, has a pure, original talent unmarred by the over-saturated backdrop of mechanized similitude in current musical trends. The Left Coast EP is a beacon of individuality, and it is overflowing with a distinctive and special vibe of its own. It’s not hard to see why MalLabel Music is proud to support such a stupendous effort in their second release of 2012.
