Clyde – Roll of the Beast incl. Atjazz, Tim Scott and Christo Mixes

Roll of the Beast is Clyde’s reluctant incursion into the ‘protest song’, if you like, spawned simply from his frustration at the relentless bloodshed throughout the Middle East, exacerbated by the US, UK and Israel since the dawning of the new century. The particular event was a horrendous Israeli shelling of a Palestinian wedding party which can only have been ordered and executed by a force very close to the human perception of Satan, or ‘The Beast’.

The title was coined and the lyrical content satisfied. All that was remaining was for Clyde to formulate an equally stirring soundtrack. The original is a loose, live, infectiously catchy house monster with a gratifying slap bass-line sitting satisfyingly under an enticing, ‘stabby’ Rhodes hook. Clyde drops his own ill-tempered falsetto vocals on top, quite literally ‘getting it off his chest’.

Atjazz turns up the heat with one of his most impressive remixes to date. This tuff beauty ebbs towards the boundaries of the more broken side of house. Taking the baton with the original hook, he turns up the energy, taking it to the next level with live Rhodes, a remorseless beat, dressed with the superlative quality you’d expect from one of this mans productions.

Forward-looking and emerging talent, Christo, bestows two seriously dope mixes. His ‘So Much Bounce Remix’ transcends any of today’s pigeon holes, sitting in its own, deep, involving, head nodding kingdom. His vocal dub delves deeper, darker and Detroit-esque. Superb.

Liverpool’s Tim Scott (Sick Trumpet) supplies us with his ‘Roll of the Beats Remix’ and have no qualms, this is a Broken Beat tour de force, heavy on the bass.

DUCK is a concept album featuring dance music producers from Derby, UK, an emerging hot spot of original talent. It features music from already established names including Atjazz, Clyde, Christo, YSE and Bleep District (both of Rhythm Plate lineage) and a selection of up-and-coming producers that each bring their own remarkable flavours to the table.

All sales revenue from DUCK will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support and QUAD, Derby’s visual arts centre: A selfless introduction to the wealth of talent that the emerging D.E scene (Derby) has to offer.

DUCK’s artwork is as noteworthy as its music. Created on four 6ft boards by artists affiliated with acclaimed live arts organisation, Subism, the boards spell the album name. Why DUCK? Duck is a term of endearment used affectionately within the small geographical area extending mainly east from Derby.

The musical content is refreshingly varied and, like the artwork, is awash with live elements, making every track from this unique album an involving listen. Encapsulating numerous styles, from house, to downbeat, to hip hop, the dance-floors and lounges are equally and glowingly catered for.

A meeting of minds from some of Derby’s finest talents, the album also assumes an heir of Internationalism with contributing musicians and vocalists from as far and wide as Zimbabwe, Brazil and the US.

Open your ears and eyes and meet D.E. Derby. A small city with big talent. Visit www.derbyduck.co.uk to see the artwork and interludes being created, artist information and more.

DELETED:-

Look into Clyde’s eyes (not around his eyes) and you will witness his return with the next single from his unique and acclaimed debut LP, Hyper Reality. Read My Mind is a slick, heavy, soulful, yet jerky groove featuring the dazzling vocal talents of Jane Hamilton (Sonar Kollektiv, Mantis Recordings). Clyde lends his own well-oiled vocal chords by way of a male response to Hamilton. A gritty, bit-crushed sub-bass drives the track over Detroit-tinged beats, complemented by warped Rhodes piano hooks and servings of live Sax’, courtesy of Gary Reader, with this being his second contribution to the Hyper Reality LP.

Mixes are delivered thrice-fold from Stockholm Hip-Hop nobles, Hearin’ Aid, who drop a depth charge of dynamism to the track, creating a layered canvas of intelligent, digital funk, perfected with a sprinkling of their own rhymes for good measure and to great, great effect. Heavy.

Liverpool’s immensely talented Chris Barker (TrebleO) supplies his own unique take in the form of a deep , filtered, dance-floor cut-up, brimming with energy and guaranteed to please.

The iTunes-only release boasts two extra remixes, both of which present themselves as refreshing takes on the original. Derby consummate, George Booth, hands in a wonderful downbeat interpretation for bars and lounges accross the nation(s), while Fireworm’s ‘School Disco Mix’ is anything-but what it says on ‘the tin’.

Psychic puns aside, we ‘know’ you are going to enjoy this release. Powerful stuff, guaranteed to give even those of a stronger disposition goose-bumps ‘down there’.
