Introspekt - Moving The Center (Tempa) 2LP
数多くのアンセムを世に送り出したダブステップ最重要レーベルTempaのバイナル・リリースが復活！ こちらはTime Is NowやT4T LUV NRGといったレーベルからリリースしている西海岸プロデューサーIntrospektの1stアルバムで、あの頃のダークな雰囲気を押さえつつUKGやボールルーム的なモダン・ベース・サウンドを展開。レジェンドやベテランじゃなく若手をフックするのいいね。
”Introspekt’s hotly anticipated debut album Moving The Center comes nearly a year after the release of her latest EP Tectónica. Set to be released on June 20th, Moving the Center sees Introspekt pay homage to dubstep’s point of genesis in South London in order to then shift the center of focus from a singular point of origin, to a more global narrative of bass and vibration. The album blends UK bass with contrasting genres like garage and ballroom, creating the perfect feminine blend of these historically masculine genres. The album merges the Black diaspora from across the Atlantic, crafting a sonic world where past, present and future are parallel and immersed in an early millennium type dubstep soundscape. Speaking about the album, Introspekt says, “‘Moving The Center’ embodies an alternate perspective to that which has been dominant in dance music, particularly so-called ‘bass music’. The narrative it presents is one which throws a wrench in the seemingly common perception of Dubstep as a masculinist sensibility. ‘Moving The Center’ pushes a feminine physicality to the front of the bassbins. Femmes to the front!””
