FLOWRIAN - DONT CARE / IMPROVISATION [DIGITAL BLUS 016]

Swiss-born Flowrian is a name that has been rising rather quickly within deep drum ‘n bass.

A: DON’T CARE
B: IMPROVISATION


RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 2011

SUPPORT BY: FURNEY, PAUL SG, FABIO, BASSFACE SASCHA, LTJ BUKEM




DON’T CARE:

Flowrian’s opening number on this release, “Don’t Care” is a feast to the ears. Even from the beginning, we get treated to articulate drum work, beautiful, melodic atmospheres and a multitude of instruments. Piano arpeggios are lit up by a shallow reverb as the vocal comes flying through. The bass stays chunky throughout, giving this inspirational number its shape. The break comes, emphasized by hi-hats and the a capella vocal. Then comes round two, inviting the listener to soak up the melodic composure once again.

IMPROVISATION:

Sweeping Rhodes chords introduce the second of release number seventeen. The bassline remains subtle but exposed as the drums crescendo to the first vocal sample. Brass horn stabs add to the body, while synthesized sax riffs illuminate the backdrop. An additional piano lends its chord structure to reversed drum hits, which lead back into the drop. You might feel inspired to dig through the jazz crates after going through this one a few times.
