Jonny3snares - Applecore EP Random Audio RecordsEP Review - Sept 2007The title track "Applecore" is itself built from dark surging waves of bass underscoring the brilliantly chopped drums.
It rises and falls without ever losing its momentum, giving at times to subtle haunted melodies before
coming harder than Phil Mitchell's minders.This is real new skool - intricate, progressive, atmospheric jungle - imagine a futuristic remix of a 90's Nookie tune.The Enduser Mix is very different.
Drums scrape underneath the sheets of bass, the rhythm takes more twists & turns than an insomniacs duvet.
The track itself trips & stumbles without losing its groove, still making it interesting listening.
It gets close to drum & bass but using much broader, louder kicks it never falls into the obvious metronome dnb trap.Jonny3snares' strength is the way his constantly moving, flowing sharp drum cuts working against thick elektro bass & laced
with delicate melodies, while not making these different sounds clash they belong together - working different tempos and textures
without losing his own sound, all these tracks are proof that working alone without a direct scene around him creates a sound that is
truly individual.Bottom line this is what real innovative music sounds like.DJ One Eye - Irie BingoRESPONCE AFTER A GIG: The other night i experienced saturation of my psynaptic neurones within my upper thynadipus due to irregular, organic, energetic beats...
PSYMON (dontstayin.com) WRITEUP:As is the 18 year old Johnny3Snares. He was advertised as a "best kept secret". This youthful musician is a Newquay boy capable of playing alongside some of the masters of IDM/Grindcore and I found it very hard to believe that this was only his second ever public performance. I could go on but I'd only be ranting - keep an eye out for this little beast!
DJ CONTORT WRITEUP:jonny3snares took to the stage and started off with a melodic synthesised build up of quite pleasant chords which then went into some hyper amen jungle breaks at some ridiculous bpm! reminding me very much of the bastard love child of aphex twin and squarepusher,mr snares gave the crowd a good hour of danceable "cool electronica" often drifting into some nice melodies and basslines,an incredible talent at such a young age! he'll be back! oh yes!!
