About The Release
Take My Number” is an upbeat, soulful slice of bass music replete with warm keys and strings samples laid over kinetic breakbeats. Deep, round bass fills out this latest A-side from Atlantic Connection, a producer well-known for his liquid funk drum & bass output who is now expanding to a wide range of tempos and styles while maintaining his signature sound. “Take My Number” crosses genre boundaries and would fit well into a DJ set populated with anything from Todd Edwards-inspired garage and house to the recent music of artists Martyn and Joy Orbison.
On the B-side, “No Explanations” is a testament to Atlantic Connection’s ability to perfectly craft emotion-capturing songs. With its deep vibe and crisp percussion, the track is a mellow, melancholy exploration of the nebulous area that lies at the intersection of deep house, dubstep, and UK garage. The song simultaneously draws influences from all of these disparate styles yet fitting it neatly into a genre proves surprisingly difficult — too breaks-driven for house or dubstep and more fluid than the off-kilter drum programming characteristic of garage and 2-step.
Both sides of this release have been getting support from a wide variety of artists: DJ Craze, Nadastrom, Kill The Noise, Mayhem and many more.
About Atlantic Connection
A producer, DJ, engineer, publishing company and record label owner, Atlantic Connection is pushing himself to the forefront of EDM with his soulfully-charged brand of bass music. A.C. has been a longtime contributor to liquid funk and drum & bass, first making his mark as a producer under the name Basic Operations with releases on genre-defining labels like Creative Source, Liquid V, C.I.A. / Advanced and Good Looking Records. He then began his solo career in 2006 and has since gone on to release music on labels such as Soul:R, Spearhead, Fokuz and his own Westbay Recordings imprint. In 2008, A.C. expanded his musical repertoire far beyond drum & bass into house, hip-hop, and beyond with the release of his debut album Tomorrow’s Not Enough. On the cusp of a new decade, 2011 sees Atlantic Connection forging ahead into musical territory that escapes genre classification with his unique blend of soul-drenched samples, crisp breaks and deep bass that covers a wide range of tempos and styles.
