‘From Deep Space’ is an exploration of the deepest, darkest corners of the broken beat universe where Phace & Misanthrop discover new and indulgent sonic, sci-fi landscapes. With over 17 years of combined experience in the world of D&B Phace and Misanthrop are certainly not new comers and this album has been hailed as some of the best work they have produced to date.
“These guys are pushing the boundaries once again with this LP, people take note! Always got some Phace and Misanthrop in my record box” Friction
Over a year in the making ‘From Deep Space’ sees two of Germany’s leading Drum and Bass artist collaborating to create an album that has been highly anticipated by fellow DJs and producers. The past seven years have seen Phace ascend to the most prominent production duo in Germany. And with Misanthrop’s 10 years of musical expertise and an almost obsessive love for the dark side it’s no question that these three men will make one exceptional album.
The CD and digital version consists of seven Phace tracks, four Misanthrop tracks and three collaborations. The album will be released on vinyl as well as CD and Download, however there will only be 500 vinyl copies pressed, so wax purists will need to get their mitts on these quick before they’re gone.
Deep, sonic soundscapes are the main order of this LP, however each track is stamped with it’s own individual flavour. From ‘Channel Feel’s’ downbeat vibe to ‘Generation For Sales’s’ funky feel this LP has something to satisfy anyone’s taste.
The production skill of these guys stands out more than their creativity. Each and every tracks beats are clean and crisp and have been mixed down with perfectionist precision. Although each track has a backdrop of deep sonic sound arrangements keep things form feeling claustrophobic.
“If you’re anywhere interested in drum & bass and the exploration of sonic logic and depth you cannot miss this album. Nobody goes where Phace and Misathrop go.” Nosia
One on the albums highlights is Misanthrop’s ‘Going Down Slow’. This six minuet mantra evokes three different feelings in one track. As the track starts you are transported to cockpit of a submarine with glitches, gloops and digitalised bleeps, you’re left wondering where the tracks going to take you next. On the first drop, walls of sonic sound and sub bass engulf your entire soul, teamed with the speedy beats, you feel like your part of some type of underwater military mission. Then come the piano, the collection of chords used to adorn the bass, breaks and beats completely chills the track, bringing you the satisfied feeling on ‘mission accomplished’.
Another highlight of this album Phace’s ‘You Keep on Talking’. Fast paced break beats layer with an absolutely disgusting rumbling sub. This is one of those track that deserves a good pair of headphones and some concentration to fully appreciate it. However that’s not to say it won’t tear up the any dance floor.
The LPs title track is an absolute banger. ‘From Deep Space’ is the first of three collaborative tracks on the album. The slow start acts as a magnet to the ears that draw your entire attention to the sounds. Rolling beats, tight kicks and of course the staple array of sounds from the sub sonic spectrum.
If you’re any type of Drum and Bass, Break Beat or Broken Beat fan this album is not to be missed. If you’re into sonic soundscapes and sci-fi scenery this experimental album is not to be missed. If you’re any kind of music lover at all this is one album defiantly not to be missed.
