Alaska kicks off 2014 in style with an emotional Drum & Bass and Downtempo 12 inch from Arctic Music. Alaskas 33rd vinyl release takes you on an escalating journey with its head-nodding breakbeats, layered pads, bass booms and chords. Violin, piano and rhode keys lead the ascent into a passionate orchestral crescendo and Jasheri is born.On the flipside Alaska flexes the sample muscles and lowers the tempo to 85 bpm with the Arctic-sleeze score of Zoranine. Xylophone riffs, oboe effects, guitar stabs, flutes and vintage keys float over a funky breakbeat groove for the first Alaska downtempo excursion since Novas from 2010s The Mesozoic Era LP.
