Description
孤高の越境者Djrumが、名門R&Sを舞台に解き放つ漆黒の芸術。
2010年のデビュー以来、Ilian Tapeや2nd Dropからのリリース、さらにはNinja TuneやDominoでのリミックスワークを通じて、シーンの重鎮たちから熱烈な支持を得てきたFelix ManuelことDjrum。ジャズやヒップホップ、ダブステップ、そしてテクノまでを縦横無尽に横断する独自の審美眼は、本作でも唯一無二の輝きを放つ。
瞑想的な旋律が、不規則に刻まれるリズムと脈動する低域の間を縫うように進む。催眠的なパッドと陶酔を誘う音響設計が重なり合い、フロアを揺らすダイナミズムと、独り深く潜り込むような親密さが同居。黒盤の溝に刻まれた緻密でエレガントなディテールが、スピーカーを通じて深淵な没入体験へと変貌する。

R&S proudly presents brand new signing Felix Manuel AKA Djrum.
Djrum is a perennially acclaimed underground artist, since his first release in 2010 who’s quietly built a list of fans that reads like a who’s who of contemporary dance music.
As an artist, Djrum has formed a reputation for his unique fusion of a range of genres ranging from jazz, hip hop and dubstep to ambient and techno. His music swells with oceanic bass laded beats, cavernous atmospherics and deeply emotive melodies. An accomplished DJ his compositional approach feels like a natural collage of his influences which has seen him release for the likes of the Zenker Brothers Ilian Tape imprint as well as the influential 2nd Drop label, plus remixes for Ninja Tune and Domino.
Felix now steps up to the plate at R&S with one of his most visionary releases to date. Deeply meditative melodies twist and turn through stuttering rhythms and pulsing low bass, hypnotic pads and woozy atmospherics. Manuel’s music somehow manages to retains the urgency and dynamic pressure of the dance floor with the intimacy and elegant detailing of the best headphone music.
A natural fit for R&S, there is a full length Djrum album in the pipeline in 2018 - looks like it’s going to be an exciting year ahead.
