va – blu tribunl (inflatabl labl)

woohoo! the 6th inflatable labl release is out. second of their conceptual compilations. maybe straight compilations as collections of various tracks from various artists are already boring and passé. but inflatabl are trying to move that and overwrite it with new idea producing something quite new interesting, unique and inspiring. inflatabl label started their work with one of those new conceptual compilations, ‘dub tribunl’ which concept was gathering of artists that regularly are not doing that sound, but now for needs of this compilations are trying to experiment with it and make four tracks each. so inflatabl owner the rip of artist, atom tm and smal lrocks as top-notch electronic producers were trying to make dub, style that they are completely unfamiliar with. this time compilation is called blu tribunl and that means that concept is trying to deal with blues. artists unfamiliar with the blues now are: akufen, freeform and again the highly appreciated owner the rip of artist. cut up and glitch house legend akufen is dealing with this problem very well, making good glitch-house-blues-cut-up tracks on his very own recognizable way, with of course, blues influences. so he hit the concept in the centre. his first track is with micro house rhythm. vocals, pure blues cut up guitars and accordion are also here. other tracks are not so into straight house but more into glitch blues. slow, stoned with lazy guitar and totally cut up. the rip of artist is also not so into house but more glitchy oriented. guitar is here, drums and so on… his second tracks is pure rip of artist piece. other tracks also, very well presents blues on his very own unique way. freeform is again giving blues, with slide, free to break rhythm, vocals and more mood. pure blues. but of course new. all of this artists are trying and succeeding in attempt to bring blues today. in contemporary production, in new electronic package, make it more interesting and with much fun. one of best compilations for this year, if not the best.
