Just whenever you thought it was secure to show your consideration again to different artists for a minute, seems Current Value is giving the DnB world much less and fewer a refractory interval in phrases time between terrifyingly good releases. His subsequent enterprise is quick approaching with Far Layer, due out this Friday, March 22 on an Othercide Beatport unique. Time to hunker down for extra bass explosions.
Far Layer is sort of completely different, even for Current Value. There is a few particular work that would appear considerably like standard DnB however some tracks are actually on the market. There’s a shocking quantity melody and vocals on this EP, which appears to be indicative CV’s current curiosity in melody and music and the way it pairs with heavy bass. “Dispelling Fear,” feat. Snow and Coresplittaz, for instance, has some actually attention-grabbing vocal and melody work. Similarly the title observe is sort of all melody and ambient sound design. “Photoelectric” and “Ferromagnetic” appear to be extra standard DnB however they nonetheless have that brainsplitting Current Value allure that by no means fairly lets the prefrontal lobe f the hook.
In phrases recognizable drum and bass, our Your EDM premiere “Ferromagnetic” even goes so far as to have a really acquainted musical pattern within the intro and within the break. The beat construction, nonetheless, is one other CV slammer. Only Current Value can provide a hearty nod to the old fashioned in a observe whereas on the identical time making it so completely different and new that nobody would query his innovation or originality.
The beat and bassline are each fairly minimal and clear with a easy kick and snare overlay and extra traditional DnB phrase transitions. The most notable innovation right here is within the syncopation what can actually solely be referred to as a second beat, though some might tag it because the bassline. Raw, grinding and virtually dissonant in how f the primary beat it's, this second beat is the place the mind the listener actually wakes up, pays consideration and tries to make sense one other CV observe. Let the simultaneous skanking and chin scratching start.
With a lot to digest on Far Layer, one may say that DnB followers might be occupied for some time however we nonetheless hope he continues his present development releasing extra ten. In the meantime, get pleasure from exploring the Far Layer the cerebrum with this epic EP.
Far Layer will launch on a Beatport unique on Othercide Records March 22 and might be accessible on all different platforms on April 7. For pre-order, go to Beatport or Othercide’s Bandcamp page.
