ime008 Forsaken [Out Now]

Forsaken

A. Hypnotised (audio)
AA. Fighting Spirit (audio)

Bristol-based Forsaken has been producing his uniquely musical mix of beats and bass for several years now, garnering attention from across the world, the web and blogosphere, but vinyl releases have been scarce save for a tune on Immerse Records’ Substratum EP and a 12” for Peverelist’s imprint Punch Drunk.

Luckily, Immerse Records, celebrating its 2nd year, steps once more into the fray to deliver an imaginative twelve from Forsaken which is joyously unfettered by trends or orthodoxies, and full of his obvious love for music, melody and colour.

‘Hypnotised’ takes a snippet of Tweet as its mantra and builds a bumpy groove around it, where busy kicks and snare drums are surrounded by snaking bass, and a subtle skank punctuates the organic blend of Rhodes and strings. Heads down, eyes shut and let the beats run riot.

Fighting Spirit takes a more epic approach, blending eastern zithers with a wild selection of ethnic percussion that takes a cue from London’s emerging Funky scene. Mixed with thunderous bass and soothing pads, Forsaken carefully balances the mood to create a sure-fire future classic.

It is coming dude, 001-005 is available every where, 006-007 should be available very shortly, although for the first 4 weeks exclusively to beatport, im hoping to have 008 out the same time as the vinyl is released officially and the same for each release then on.
