説明
90年代リーズのブリープ・テクノを象徴する伝説「Pressure」の生みの親Ability II。Klasse WrecksのLuca LozanoとDJ Steveという現代の異端児たちが、伝説のヴォーカルと共に世代を超えた低域の深淵を構築。
リーズのブリープ・テクノにおける重要人物、David DuncanによるプロジェクトAbility II。2017年の「Pressure」リミックス以降、Klasse Wrecks勢と数年にわたり温めてきたコラボレーションが『My Definition Of Bass』として結実した。
WRECKSサイドは、LozanoとDJ Steveによるライヴ・セッションが核となっている。Ability IIのヴォーカルを軸に、アシッドの不敵な揺らぎとジャックなドラムが連動し、フロアを煽り立てる。一方のI9Mサイドは、Ability IIが自らダブの手腕を振るった。幾重にもこだまするエコーと重厚な低音が地を這うステッパーへと再構築され、聴き手の身体を直接揺さぶる。

Leeds Bleep-techno royalty Ability II aka David Duncan has been on the Wrecks radar for a few years now, the unison dating back to Luca Lozano's remix of his evergreen anthem 'Pressure' in 2017. Since the remix the communication has stayed open and talks of a collaboration started, linking generations old and new. That collaboration, recorded over a couple of years and a couple of studios, results in WRECKS057 'My Definition of Bass'. Four tracks split into two sides, the WRECKS side is taken care of by Lozano and long time collaborator and friend DJ Steve. The two producers live jammed sketches, recorded the sessions and then incorporated original vocals by Ability II, churning out acid wiggles and jacking drum tracks. Ability then took these versions and then dubbed them out in his crossover style for the I9M side, resulting in two steppers made for the strictly for the bassbins. Echoing vocal layers and new instrumentation takes them out of the usual 'wrecks wrealm' and into new, dubbier territories.
