Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Dfrnt

dfrnt aka alex cowles, has put out a string of critically acclaimed releases via his own echodub, and londons, on the edge imprint, since his arrival on the scene in 2008, had his track headspace remixed by scuba which featured on the producers sub:stance mix cd for ostgut ton, and maintained a consistently forward-thinking approach to electronic music throughout this. here he joins 2020 vision offshoot fina records, alongside the likes of move d, leif and roberto rodriguez.

landing just a week before his new album >fading< – dfrnt is releasing an incredibly special ep – not only is it the first ever echodub vinyl release, but it will be a limited edition hand-numbered 12 inch picture-disk!
the el spirito ep is a three-track vinyl. the a side, el spirito is one of the lead tracks from the fading lp – which is set to be released a week later on 3rd september. the first b-side >work harder< combines dfrnts ear for melody and deep sounds with a techno-based 2-step shuffle. the second b-side >homeward< is a far deeper and more relaxed journey featuring the talented scottish singer joy dunlop.

its been a while since we have seen a release from dfrnt for on the edge, but im proud to announce, the wait is finally over! this ep provides us with an abundance of different flavours, but still retains the genius sound that is dfrnt at the very core of every tune. let me first draw to your attention to >the big freeze<. its a drum and bass track that has been moulded like a true pro. it sounds like dfrnt has been producing d+b for a long time with the finishes on this track, but believe its one of his earlier efforts. its a refreshing bpm for his take on electronic music and hope to hear more of the same from dfrnt soon. then dfrnt shows us what he is all about when he goes all out 4x4. a dirty, gritty techno roller (with a skip) that will blow your socks off! love the production on this one. then we have >monday morning<. this does exactly what it says on the tin, just the type of tune you need to bring you down after a heavy weekend. as though that wasnt enough, there is a 170 remix from man of the moment, indigo! support comes from: hatti vatti, synkro, versa, mary ann hobbs, kissy sell out, fused forces, loxy, dj rum, 501 and truth to name a few.
