About this release:
Southern Outpost teams up with electro pioneer Scape One (Kurt Baggaley) to bring you the UNSTABLEBEATPROTONCHARACTERISTICS ep (SO-012)
Scape One needs no introduction, from breakdancing to Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock” on BBC TV in the early 80s which sparked an interest in electro music. During the mid 90s being influenced by Aux 88 and Drexciya, he teamed up Transparent Sound to release some of the most seminal electro records of the time.
This ep sees Scape One look back to the roots of the pure electro sound and inject it with some Sci-Fi futurism. 808 rhythms which would sound at home in an 80s old school electro production are updated, retrofitted and laid out on some hi-tech sounds deep from within Scape One’s studio. UNSTABLEBEATPROTONCHARACTERISTICS will definitely appeal to the electro freaks, past, present and future.
Interplanetary Transfusion heads up the ep with its slow rhythms, pulsing bass and a haunting lead line which offers a peek into Scape One’s mind.
The Star Fraction picks up the pace with it’s old school drum programming complete with cowbell and rimshots, moody lush pads and staccato computer rhythms. One for 22nd century B-Boys.
UNSTABLEBEATPROTONCHARACTERISTICS is straight up unhinged, mental, metallic funk. These beat protons are most definitely unstable, handle with care!
Cosmic Waves picks up the tempo to start of the B-Side with its frantic percussion, swirling, ascending analogue particles and its arppegiated lead line.
Cyclotronic Mass brings the pace down for a hi-tech hybrid electro/hip hop work out. Subtle sounds weave in and out while a stabbing synth bassline keeps the track moving along at a perfect pace.
