The Fist Official Digital Amp-Art Release MXM - Dislok8ted Science
AMP-ART MUSIC STORE - Buy Dislok8ted Science
First Digital release on brand new label Amp-Art. The label will be dedicated to bringing high quality compositions from across the electronic music spectrum with its roots firmly in the past whilst reaching out to the distant future. First off we have label co-owner and producer MxM (Literally short for Maxim) with a 4 piece electronic workout for you to bathe your ears and convulse your body to.
Track one is Teklooterz, a grungy distorted beat greets you as the tune kicks into gear, gradually becoming more and more melodical before the melody’s entwine and the kick drops back in. Soulful pads drench the bleeping rhythms and freestyled analogue keys pitch fade thier way though the door, before resuming course into the basic groove. Making for a good floor filler and DJ tool.
Track two is Dirty Language, called so because the dusty samples talk the talk on this one. Another one for the dance floor as the chord riff works it way through the tune with evolving rhythms and 70’s synth swooshes bringing you up. Music is the universal language and an apt piece of commentary lifts the tune into act2 where layers of pads and synth stabs progress the track into darker territory before the curtain falls on act3 and everyone lives happily ever after.
Track3 is Safe Journey; a track with more than a head nod in the direction of the motor city’s deeper producers. With Minor chords and basic bleeps the tune soon gains access to the facility of a bass line, which allows it to bring dark funk into the equation. The rhythm becomes increasing complex and some of the under patterned percussion almost sounds and if the filtered drum machine has the flu and complains with intermittent coughs and sneezes. A large hand clap asserts the tune before a haunting synth pitch slides a sonet over the top. Lovely Stuff
Track4; I think I broke Detroit. Experimental sparse broken beats, belching zippy bass lines, sawing strings and a heavenly analogue based melodic climax give this tune its character. Sounds a bit like you left your Detroit tunes and favourite west London vinyl nuggets in the sun together. They melt and you get this. Ah…if only all accidents where this happy.

Ben kindly sent me this link to a rather good site with loads of DJ mixes and Live sets to download.
Most are recorded at clubs and venues around the globe with a focus on techno, house and electronica. I have to say the AME mix is really floating my boat at the moment!
Alex from www.on-point.be just sent me a link to this interesting interview they have done with one of GL’s favourite producers of recent times, Trus’me.
