Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Chook

there was once a time in drum & bass where to try your hand at other genres was practically an insult to the staunch elitism of the genre. drum & bass knew best, and what it knew most preciously of all was to soak up outside influences like a sponge, then regurgitate them in its own 170-ish-bpm breakbeat style ? with an added middle finger to anyone who dared question the futurethinking outlook of the protagonists involved.now, more than a decade since artists like ed rush & optical, source direct and matrix were hailed as the sonic beat scientists of the millennium, its become trendy to mash together a whole bunch of genres and styles all under one artist alias roof. chase & status made dubstep and drum & bass spiritual and literal dancefloor partners in just a few swift moves and sub focus turned his hand to bassline house alongside classic jungle and technoelectro infused d&b on his recent self-titled debut album.
