MAL011: Blackheart - The Magic Hour - w Free 320 & Mix
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 10:50 pm
California is becoming the hub for an emerging mutant strain of dubstep that combines glitch, old school coastal rave breaks, and outdoor sound system culture. Think Burning Man meets Road Warrior and you've only begun to scratch the surface of the engine that drives veteran MalLabel recording artists Blackheart. Hailing from San Francisco, this pair of ne'er-do-wells certainly brings the hammer down with tough beats on this sev...en track mini LP, teaming up with some of the US dubstep scene's biggest talents Bukkha, Ceeker, and Rastatronics to indulge in a festival of paint peeling bass lines and coarse synth melodies. But Blackheart also has the skills to make it funky, laying down hard core hyphy beats that pay close attention to the ghettotech pioneers from Detroit and the new school cats from Baltimore. But what makes these guys so amazing is their synth work - this album is comprised entirely of melodies sculpted out of pure techno influences - from old R&S to new Perlon; Blackheart hasn't forgotten that dubstep is still music for dancing. "Creature Funk” opens the album with raunchy, chuggy, driving stepper while “Dialers,” “Madhouse,” and “Kik Mah Boots” provide the straight-forward, driving anthems.
