| Peer Pressure Recordings / Music Blog |  | | Facing Jinx - "Ready" / "I Know" - PPRDINTL004 | | Continuing to drop serious heat during the summer months, Peer Pressure Digital’s Intl department has snapped up two scorchers from Facing Jinx. Building on some floating atmosphere and a classic break, “Ready” is bound to be the intro to your backyard feasts! Leading into the moving drop, the track lets you teases us with the driving force in this tune: a slow, moody piano loop that, once dropped atop the break and a funky, muted bass, works wonders and begs you to move! On “I Know”, a seductive set of vocal samples sex up the infectious stabs atop an understated sub. This is one of those deeper cuts, something that will breeze easily into the mix, and you won’t even notice how fresh it is until its halfway through, making you wheel it and take it all in again. Tracks like these are best served while the lights are down low, the night is still young, and you have nothing but time on your hands… | | 2008-08-04 01:12:52 | | | SIMPLIFICATION - “MEMORIES” / “WITHOUT YOU” – PPRDINTL003 | | Coming straight out of Brazil, Simplication brings a different take on the “deep soulful DnB” by adding some heavenly atmospherics to “Memories”. Dropping some warm vibes over the cut, with the strings overtop, brings you into a zone not too far off from the feelings you get watching a sunset on a warm summer night, peering over the beachfront, reminiscing on days past. Keeping that soul alive, “Without You” is the letter you write to that love that you lost in those memories of days gone by. Realizing that you may have messed up or somehow caused the breakup, “Without You” is the lament on a relationship lost. Many DnB cuts can make you dance, but these two tracks from Simplification make you get those real emotions flowing. Having what so many producers lack (soul) is going to keep this duo around for a while… | | 2008-07-27 23:29:41 | | | SYNTHETICS – STIGMATIX EP – PPRDEP001 | | Next up to bat is the first EP length release for Peer Pressure Digital, and this multi-faceted tech romp is sure to excite those who like that futuristic sheen with their DnB diet. Synthetics links up with Phsyko Logik for the title track, creating a pulsating thumper, heavy on the kicks with a crunchy bassline rolling overtop the beat. Diving from that into a bit of a deeper zone, “Infection” takes things a step back, bringing some soul into the machine, letting you see the light and beauty behind the circuit breakers and motherboards. That doesn’t last long, though, as “Jack Hammer” rides right underneath and injects a funky virus into the mainframe. Bright breaks and some classic neuro flair really accentuate this higher-octane tune. Closing things out is “Mind Machine”, a twisted, nastier affair that goes deeper into the breaks, editing out a malicious beat while the heavy funk punches you right in the gut. True badman anthem business, and a great way to show the 360 degree spectrum of the machine. | | 2008-07-21 01:49:27 | | | dRAMATIC – “PRESSURE” / “MOVING CLOSE” – PPRDINTL002 | | It wasn’t just enough that dRamatic had to come with a catchy intro, all uplifting and piano-drenched. No, we have to then be treated to a twist in how you’d imagine the tune would progress – you’d assume this would just delve into the normal, soft soul, but dRamatic comes correct with a heavier drum and really bright bass, screaming “get on the floor and dance”! Peer pressure, indeed. On “Moving Close”, dRamatic brings things closer to your chest, riding supple keys and a dope Rhodes-sounding groove deep into your soul. Once this thing drops, some infectious vocal stabs keep things both interesting and on edge, as you can’t help but rock to the riddim AND try to catch how the stabs are going to progress! Two nutritious slices of DnB pie, served up fresh and piping hot from the good folks over at Peer Pressure! | | 2008-07-21 01:41:46 | | BLOG ARCHIVE
