HIDDEN HAWAII

THE MUSIC IMPRINT "HIDDEN HAWAII" WAS FOUND IN BERLIN 1998 AS A DRUM & BASS PROJECT. NOW AFTER A BREAK, HIDDEN HAWAII DIGITAL COMES BACK TO BRING YOU NEW EXCELLENT MUSIC. THE HIDDEN HAWAII SOUND IS DEEP, DUBBY, SOMETIMES BREAKY, A LITTLE OLDSCHOOLISH AND STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY DETROIT-TECHNO AND HOUSE. BUT BE CAREFUL! THE ESSENCE OF ITS TUNES IS ALWAYS A DEEP POWERFULL BASS LINE. IT WILL SHAKE YOUR BODY, YOUR MIND, BASICALLY YOUR WHOLE SYSTEM. WATCH OUT FOR RELEASES BY FELIX K, CRACKLE WIZARD, DOUBLE O, AND OTHER GREAT MUSICIANS. FOR THE FRIENDS OF VINYL THEY HAVE FOUND THE SUBLABEL HIDDEN HAWAII LTD TO BRING YOU MORE OF THEIR DEFINITIONS OF PURE DNB, TECHNO, DUB AND RELATED SOUNDS
CHAMBER ONE EP - BY FELIX K
THIS IS A MUST HAVE THAT TELLS THE STORY OF DRUM AND BASS' ACTUALITY. IT IS ALSO THE SECOND RELEASE BY FELIX K ON HIS OWN LABEL HIDDEN HAWAII, WHICH STANDS FOR SOUNDS SO DEEP YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING BUT MOVE YOUR FEET ;) BOTH TUNES LET YOU KNOW THAT DRUM AND BASS DOESN'T NECESSARILY NEED TO BE ALL ABOUT THE BREAKS, IF THE GROOVE IS REALLY HYPNOTISING.
HHD LTD 003 (12")
CHAMBER ONE STARTS OUT WITH AN INTRO STRONGLY ALLUDING TO MOTOR CITY'S FINEST. THE TUNE SLOWLY PULLS YOU INTO ITS VERY COMPELLING REPETIVE RHYTHM. AT THE SAME TIME, IT HAS LOTS OF SMALL DETAILS TO MAKE SURE YOU'LL NEVER LOOSE INTEREST. THE BASSLINE IS SUBTLE BUT STRONG AND UNDERLINES THE HOUSY VIBE OF THE WHOLE TUNE.TITAN IS PURE DEEPNESS! THE SOUND OF THE BEAT IS SO UNIQUE EACH ELEMENT IS IN PERFECT BALANCE TO THE OTHERS. DECENT HOVERING PADS BUILD UP THE TENSION, AND YOUR FOCUS SWITCHES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE LITTLE PERCUSSION AND DUBSOUNDS AND THIS AMAZING BEAT. THEN WHEN THE BASS DROPS YOU'LL THINK "IT CAN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS". MELODIC PERCUSSIONS AND SI-FI PADS WILL RAP YOU IN A TRANCE, YOU'D RATHER EXPECT FROM TOP NOTCH FOUR TO THE FLOOR PRODUCTIONS. AND JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WILL STAY THAT WAY, YOUR FOCUS WILL SWITCH AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TUNE. FELIX K DEMONSTRATES ONCE AGAIN HIS SKILLS IN PROGRAMMING, WITH A MELODY THAT HAS SO MUCH EFFECT WITH SO LITTLE EFFORT.

FOR MY BROTHER EP - BY DOUBLE O
HHD LTD 002 (12")
DOUBLE O WAS THERE WHEN D'N'B WAS BORN. REFERRING TO A CERTAIN VIBE OF CLASSICAL TIMELESSNESS, HE DESCRIBES HIS MUSIC AS DETROIT-TCHNO-OLDSCHOOL AND BASS. THAT'S WHY ONE MIGHT ASSUME HIS TUNESTO BE FROM THE EARLY 90'S, BUT DOUBLE O'S TIGHT PRODUCTION AND EXTREMELY DEEP ARRANGEMENT SKILLS MAKE HIS SOUND AS FRSH AS IT GETS. SO CLASSICAL IT IS INDEED!
PART I: DIGITAL HHD 002 (FILE)
WHAT IS DETROIT-TECHNO-OLDSCHOOL AND BASS? RETRO GIVES THE MOST OBVIOUS ANSWER TO THAT. THIS ONE HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD ACCORDING TO DOUBLE O'S QUOTE: "DRUM AND BASS SHOULD BE MADE FROM THE HEART". NO MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID. I CAN'T SLEEP IS ALSO A DEEP AMEN DRIVEN TUNE, BUT WITH A MORE MELODIC TOUCH. IT REMINDS YOU OF THE FACT THAT D'N'B IS NOT LIMITED TO MOVE YOU ON THE DANCEFLOOR. THIS ONE IS ALSO PERFECT TO BE HEARD WHILE RIDING THE TRAIN OR BUS SEEING URBAN ARCHITECTURE PASSING BY AND JUST LET YOUR MIND DRIFT AWAY.
TRACKLIST:
1) RETRO
2) I CAN'T SLEEP

DOUBLE O WAS THERE WHEN D'N'B WAS BORN. REFERRING TO A CERTAIN VIBE OF CLASSICAL TIMELESSNESS, HE DESCRIBES HIS MUSIC AS DETROIT-TECHNO-OLDSCHOOL AND BASS. THAT'S WHY ONE MIGHT ASSUME HIS TUNES TO BE FROM THE EARLY 90'S, BUT DOUBLE O'S TIGHT PRODUCTION AND EXTREMELY DEEP ARRANGEMENT SKILLS MAKE HIS SOUND AS FRESH AS IT GETS. SO CLASSICAL IT IS INDEED!
