Infidelity Records continues in it’s pursuit of nurturing exciting talent from the world of Drum & Bass.
This latest offering is a 4 track EP from Bristol based Altered Perception, who is no stranger to modern day labelism, with no less than 4 imprints that he either owns or coowns: Alchemic Breaks, Terrabyte Records, Transmission Audio & Sub:mission Audio. He has received support from some weighty institutions and DJs such as BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM, B.Traits, Doc Scott, Kenny Ken & Aphrodite to name just a few.
The project is a label debut for the artist which adds to an already impressive list of labels who have picked up on the undoubted technical ability he posses.
The title track ‘Vortex VIP’, kicks off with a grooveladen break, chirpy stabs preface what is to come; huge distorted stabs akin to that of a mid 00’s tech sound roll out over the, in comparison more subtle, steady
beat the huge contrast in intensity between both main elements is what makes this track, the almost unfeasible marriage is consummated.
‘Underpass’ again utilises what can be described as a subtle yet steady break as the artist begins to establish a theme for the EP as a whole; technical proficiency through simplicity. Rumbling, reverb charged aberrations lead us down a dark path, before calm ensues only to be decimated a mater of bars later by the aforementioned sonic filth.
Up next is ‘Reaper’, rolling out almost immediately before breaking down to introduce a huge sub bass and Altered Perception’s trademark bass sounds. Simplicity is one again key as the rolling bass sits perfectly alongside beat. A true murky roller this one.
Rounding off the EP, ‘Running’ steps along smartly from the start, uplifting keys introduce what would seem to be the most melodic track on the project, a head nod inducing chord progression ensues postdrop, leading to a crafty call and response between lead bass & and the higher pitched elements.
Support for this release is coming from:
Rene LaVice, Chris.SU, Philth, DJ Aphrodite, Voltage, DJ INK, ArpXP,Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Kolectiv, Kyrist, TerraHawk Subtle Element,Safety in Numbers & more..
