CNCSN001 is the debut release from brand new label, Concussion Records. And the label have teamed up with some very special producers for the first offering, with Kantyze and Bowsar dropping beats by the dozen.
Knockoutz and Feubo make up the French duo Kantyze, who are also in charge of the m-Atome empire. They’ve had success on all kinds of labels, like Fokuz, Trust In Music, Celcius and more, and are rightfully seen as one of the leading lights of the continental d&b scene, receiving support from Laurent Garnier, C4C, Optiv, BTK, Raiden, Audio and more.
Their tune on CNCSN001, Prelude To Schism, is a spine-chilling tribute to the future. Out of this world beats get matched with an emotional vocal line, as the duo put their best into what they do. Driving bass sets the course after the drop, and more effects are added in later. This is a perfect introduction to Concussion Records, and will have fans screaming for more. Complex, deep and complete, Prelude To Schism shows the possibilities for electronic music, as artists like Kantyze take the music into far off places.
Bowsar, representing Vienna, is a veteran of releases on Eatbrain, Full Force and Modulate, and found his way to drum & bass through hip hop, downbeat, breakbeat, experimental electronic music and jazz. Producing since 2004, his career has gone onwards and forwards since. He contributes the huge Thanos, together with Kantyze.
Thanos takes you on a journey into the galaxy, moving your soul as well as your mind. Huge rumbling basslines collide in your heart and your head, as the three producers pour everything they have into the tune. Breakneck beats on the one hand, deft brushes of samples on the other, this is one tune which has it all. Nothing will prepare you for the power of Thanos, but get ready anyhow.
CNCSN001 is a huge debut for Concussion Records, one which’ll leave you just breathless. Essential.
Concussion Records launched in 2013 to promote the darker, deeper and more experimental sides to drum &
bass.
After re-branding in January 2015, the label have now made a firm mark in the scene with the 3 vinyl releases from the likes of Bowsar, Kantyze, Dose & NickBee.
