Axiom presents: Audio Fiction

About a month ago, Axiom hit me up to discuss a new label he was about to start. We chatted a bit more and he mentioned he was interested in getting me to do some words for it (label bio, press sheets and future promo texts) and I willingly agreed.

So I then see in a promo thread by his booking agency, This Way Up, that it was announced. So I figured I'd post about it here, now. :)



Axiom presents: Audio Fiction

Audio Fiction is a brand new drum and bass imprint oot of Berne, Switzerland, owned and operated by breakout producer, Axiom. Its main focus is to release a signature selection of aggressive, hard edged neurofunk and tech step beats. It is under the strict guidance and respectable eye of Axiom that this label will flourish with a wealth of quality releases, starting from 001 and into the future. Distribution handled by Triple Vision NL and S. T. Holdings UK.

Chris.su - Double Axle ~ AUDIO
Chris.su is known for his originality and extreme high quality when it comes to production. The Hungarian native is seen as a seminal leader in forward thinking and future origin beats, showing his ideas stretch far and beyond the normal grasps of the mind. His latest production, 'Double Axle', is an extra large offering of power, aggressiveness and hostility. Hard, chugging beats combined with an intimidating dialogue lead to an intrusive affair between producer and listener, with the former coming oot alive after the vicious battle.


Jade & Matt-U - Dread Moon ~ AUDIO
Sticking with the Hungarian theme, two of the countries highly coveted producers team up to deliver an infectious and raucous arrangement of beats and basslines in the haunting case of 'Dread Moon'. Led with likes of a psycho echo synth, some monster filth ridden mid lines, a nasty funk swing and an evil creeping bassline, the dancefloor is no place for weak souls as the moon is in full flight on this twisted night.

Luke also has a new mix out that i suggest everyone download if you don't have already!

Full Force 011

My press write for Full Force 011 is up at S.T. Holdings, and will of course be included with all promo plates once released in March. Have a look. :)

Chook - Trainpsot [Misanthrop Remix] German powerhouse, Misanthrop, steps up for his first contribution to the Full Force stable with a masterful remix of Chook's sinister roller, 'Trainspot'. Flexing his signature style of high voltage funk and chest rupturing bass, Misanthrop adds another layer to the legend in this "can't miss, must have" remix classic. Once again, Full Force proves to be one of the most respected outlets in the game for pure quality in future funk beats.

Chook - Sound Of Time Hazy eyes awake to a dark, mysterious setting. Suspense lingers as the introduction begins. The invasion of static mutates the airwaves, opposing a major threat to recovery. Sharp, skin cutting percussion sets the senses on high alert, preparing the body for the breaks. Thick, grungy midlines shiver feverishly in cold textures, while an edgy rolling bassline coats the walls of the sound chamber. The white noise regains control of the vessel, paralyzing all running systems and thus forbidding any chance of outside contact. The signal is set, the fate is sealed. The rugged, minimal funk pollutes another mind and executes it's venomous destiny.

Digs?

Big up Radic, Chook and Misanthrop!

I Met The Walrus

I have this real keen interest to see this movie short, I Met The Walrus, directed by Josh Raskin from Toronto.

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. This was in the midst of Lennon's "bed-in" phase, during which John and Yoko were staying in hotel beds in an effort to promote peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries traditional pen sketches by James Braithwaite with digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.

Sounds good right?! Well, there's a bit of buzz about it as it's in the running for an Oscar this year in the 'Best Animated Short Film' category. Watch for it to win on Sunday and tune in to Bravo after the Oscars to see it for yourself!
