contemporary culture convention compilation iv (everest/randomacoustics)
this is the first release that i’m reviewing from this label. exactly the first
release that i’m getting in touch with from everest records which means that i
didn’t have any idea about their sound before this moment. the name of the
compilation is ‘contemporary culture convention compilation iv’, and sometimes
the name is just enough to help you get an idea about their sound. this name
fully shows the intention of the compilation and it is really an index of what
is inside. generally we can say that the content is contemporary electronic
sound in various directions, mostly melodic and rhythmic variations from it.
from idm and instrumental hip hop/break combinations, deep and slow housey
variations to pure alternative hip hop moments and ambiental/clicks n cuts
production. from this compilation i can highlight the track of agnes named
‘tedoua, mace’ that irresistibly reminds of jan jelinek’s work of course this is
all positive. than i would like to mention track ‘weardless’ by babychlor that
when i listened to i had a feeling that i know it very well, but have no idea
where from. the hip hop manner is incorporated into the track ‘time capsule‘ by
en sayne. good rhythms, rhymes and mcing. as a whole this is another compilation
that wants to present some particular choice of contemporary electronic music,
music that has already been presented with many compilations and releases so
far, so obviously its intention is not to bring something revolutionary and
inventive but simply to present part of the scene again, into a different
direction with a different choice, new artists and tracks. presenting a part of
the scene again through nice tracks and music. |
