Have you ever been to a club where people are slam dancing? I have, I was at a club in Rome back in 1993 called Club Crash. The place was empty but there was one guy on the dance floor slam dancing and making drastic moves to the pumping music. The lone dancer had the energy of 10 men and looked like he had the dancing skill to impress any lady with eyes in her head. At the time I was only 13 years old and I lacked the moves to dance with this stranger, but I knew that if I was equipped with the right armor then I’d have the guts to face him. Little did I know that 16 years later I’d encounter a DJ/Artist who actually has music that is so sick that he wears custom advanced body armor as he mixes up an audio storm! What DJ could I be talking about? I’m talking about the one and only master on a mixer, the tranquilizer with a turntable, the one and only…4TrakZ!
4TrakZ has a kickin’ EP out! It’s called Le Frere Lumiere – Episode 1 and the
music on this EP is well worth the download. You can visit 4TrakZ on MySpace to get more information on where to get Le Frere Lumiere All the tracks on this EP are seriously solid for both Clubs and for listening on headphones. My two favorite tracks are Escape and Memories. Escape is track 2 on the Le Frere Lumiere and it makes me feel like I am on the run from a Techno Facility. Like I’m inside Ninja Gaiden 2: The Dark Sword of Chaos for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) The vocals in Escape track say something like, “To Escape…leave…enjoy your life!” The bass-line slaps you around like you are riding the low notes with magnetic boots. I love this song! Halfway through the track, stereo effects that have insect-like buzzing sounds bounce around your head. It adds atmosphere to Escape and keeps you on mission for your Escape!
Memories on Le Frere Lumiere is a seriously insane song. The bass-line touches you just like the vocals. The slaps are connected to bass line slides and the end effect creates a sound that could only be matched by a master musician if played live. Memories is one of those songs that a break dancer could slam and pop to on the dance floor. The breakdown at about 4 minutes is jazzy and sensual and leads the listener on an audio journey of pleasure. The lead synth takes control and guides you across a slippery landscape…covered in plastic and dew covered metallic facilities.
