LABEL: PROTECT AUDIO CAT NUMBER: PA001 RELEASE DATE: 25TH JUNE 2012
New label alert - Backdrop welcomes to the fold the brand new imprint, Protect Audio. With their mission statement aimed towards the deeper, more tech-influenced end of the D&B spectrum you can expect a whole host of supremely sublime productions over the coming year from a hand-picked selection of the finest up & coming electronic artists the scene has to offer. First up, new name Marukomu.
‘Visions’ opens proceedings with some seriously cinematic soundscapes that hark back to the days of Source Direct and the Photek years. Drawing us in Marukomu hits us with some crystal breaks, sick mid-range and engulfing pads that envelope the mix for a journey of stunning proportions. Beautifully crafted, dark drum & bass to work both on the floor and at home.
Keeping things in a similar vein ‘Ganymede’ kicks off with some stripped back percussion and more sinister atmospherics. Paving the way towards some nasty drum edits and even more snarling bass and it’s another well accomplished piece of production from Manchester’s Marukomu.
Fresh remixes then come from Mono and the super uplifting Eleven8. Previously known for their productions on labels such as Med School, Hustle Audio, Silk and Rotation, rest assured they complete an extremely polished release of future-thinking D&B that serves as the perfect opener for Protect Audio. Expect a lot more from this young label; keep ‘em peeled.
