Sacred Archive

California-based producer, Sacred Sciences, releases a 3-part EP, or story, rather, entitled “Archive.”

The differences in the 3 tracks give off the impression that they are sustainable in themselves, but together, “Archive,” “Destiny,” and “WTFU” tell a story as they progress in  complexity, intensity, and of course, bass.

The first track, “Archive,” carries drawn out synths, giving it the feeling of a muscial score- this number is a dreamy and inspirational electronic track. Next, “Destiny,” a glitchy track, showcasing more energy than the first, but balanced by a softness in the instruments utilized. The EP ends with “WTFU,” the most assertive of the three and my personal favorite of the lot. The post-dub track identifies on the trap side of things- “WTFU” is 100% a head-nodder, showcasing sassy snares and hi-hats, it will probably make you feel a lot more badass than you really are . . . like it did for me.

Free, as always:

TBT: Know Lipsett

This TBT is devoted to garage and it’s abrupt and short-lived year in the spotlight.

Early in 2012, Disclosure was my first ear to garage and I become obsessed with the danceable quality, distinct bass lines and unique rhythms. The hunt for more garage-stylized artists was real, and the only place I could find them was overseas.

Coming across Ireland’s Lipsett mid 2012, his track “Know This” still stands out in my mind as one of the first tracks instigating the long line of producers utilizing 90s/early ’00 R&B samples. Sampling Cassie’s, “Must Be Love,” Lipsett’s transforms the tune into a complex weave of progressive and unexpected loopholes.

An anthem for the working class, Drake’s “Tuesday” track has not only infiltrated our mainstream airwaves 7/7 days of the week in the States, but it’s seeped its way across seas to those that “got no time to party on the weekend.”

Over in France, vocalist Echo links up with Parisian pal and producer, Akeda for a ladylike cover. Kinda choosay, I find the original a bit whiney- I don’t want to party with that dude any day of the week. On the other hand, I’d totally get down with Echo- I’ll “bring the juice, we ‘bout to get lit,” girl. The chicks cool and effortless vocals with Akeda’s chilled-out lovesauce trap make for an extremely well-balanced cover.

Deriving inspiration from both his native Nor Cal roots and background as a dubstep producer, G Jones has created a unique hybrid style that fuses together Nor Cal hip-hop influences with a future bass, low-end emphasis. His style can best be described as a highly unique and forward-thinking electronic spin on Nor Cal beat culture, all highlighted with heavy amounts of bass. As an extremely talented producer and DJ, G Jones has successfully weeded out any and all bullshit to deliver only the rawest and realest forms of swag, no gimmicks necessary. His highly inspired attitude and ingenuity as an artist shines throughout all of his work; his sound is entirely effortless and understated, but is impossible to ignore or forget.

With the release of his latest mix, “New Beats 2015”, a 40 minute, 19 track mix featuring all unreleased original material, G Jones has managed to embody modest, yet powerful swag. Each one of the mix’s 19 tracks offers a unique and interesting perspective on one cohesive and uniform style. From its explosion of dynamic sounds and styles to its razor sharp transitions, “New Beats 2015″ serves as undeniable proof that G Jones has differentiated himself miles ahead of the pack, as he is quickly mastering and honing in on his very own, mature sound. Long story short, G Jones is the undisputed up-and-comer to watch out for.
