About the Show
Outrage proudly presents Backlash Records, focusing on bringing forth experimental beats to breathe a newfound life into the electronic music scene. Backlash Records embraces the musical taboo and encourages like-minded artists to free themselves from the constraints the music industry has placed on the producer.
Since day one Outrage has been a purveyor of abstract music, providing a unique perspective upon dance floor music. Honing his skills on labels such as Metalheadz, Inneractive, Intasound, Commercial Suicide, and L Plates, he now chooses to continue pushing sounds which explore the depths of the human imagination by encouraging other producers to pursue their own artist endeavors.
With a sturdy past and forthcoming catalogue from some of the greatest free-thinkers in electronic music, this label will be one that caters to a panoramic audience, not as customers, but as listeners. Look for the label to cross cultural boundaries as well as the ever-present generation gap by employing the music as art, and not a consumer product. The first release comes from the owner himself, due for release in September 2007, the beats and atmospheres painting a bittersweet scene and showcasing Outrage’s continuing emergence as an artist (and now label owner) ahead of the status quo.
CAT NO: BLR001
OUTRAGE
A: “CREEPER” / AA: “THE END IS OUR BEGINNING”
RELEASE DATE – 10TH SEPTEMBER 2007
Outrage presents us with an enigmatic approach to dnb with Backlash 001:
“Creeper” marches us down a dark corridor towards a brooding midrange. A blend of the militant and mysterious, the combination of the steppy beats and cavernous ambience slowly settles the mind into a neurotic trance. Hypnotic tablas accent this effect and provide some drive to the brooding atmosphere, completing a tune directed at those wishing to explore the depths of their psyche.
AA – On the flip, “The End Is Our Beginning” provides us with a fresh approach to electronic music. A baroque-influenced technological beauty, it bridges the gap between loop-based and through-composed music, with the serene melodics playing off the scattered beats and steady bass. The amalgamation of such different sounds into one is nothing short of genius.
DJ Support: Goldie, Klute, Amit, Randall, Spirit, A-Sides, Friction, Digital.
