FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ORIGINAL SIN MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD
Original Sin has long been making music which decimates dancefloors the world over. But now his production has stepped over and above the majority of his peers and sees him join the ranks of TC, Chase & Status and even Pendulum. The proof of this outlandish statement can be heard on ‘Dr Feels Good’, the latest EP on Playaz, due for release on April 27th, 2009.
Label owner, DJ Hype, has much to say on the subject of Original Sin and his latest EP:
“I really liked his early productions and could see a lot of potential in him. Now he has the capabilities to make all forms of drum and bass; everything from big dancefloor monsters to mellow rollers. His choice of sounds is very original and if you look at the younger producers out there you will find a lot of them are following what he does. I am very proud to have Original Sin as part of the Playaz camp.”
‘Dr Feels Good’ draws influences from modern electro house as much as it does mid ‘90s Metalheadz and blends them all up with as much gusto as you can squeeze onto a piece of 12” vinyl. With its slightly wonky piano lines and incredible vocal hook, backed up by some seriously powerful drums and bass, this track is the epitome of Original Sin’s new style.
However, the days of throwing an EP onto the shelves with one strong track and a trio of lame ducks are long gone. And so Original Sin has dug deep into his studio skill set to provide us with another three (rather awesome) pieces of music to round off this project.
‘8 Figure Bass’ revolves around your brain like a Scalextric car with its rib crushing bassline combinations and ear bursting beats. Straight up dancefloor drum & bass that takes no prisoners. Starting with a classic jungle break and a half time swagger leading up to one of the biggest drops this side of the Grand Canyon. Heavily featured on both Radio 1 and 1Xtra, this track is no mere B side.
Taking the lead on the second piece of wax is the incredible sound of ‘Overfiend’. Heading into those Metalheadz vibes once more, the intro on this piece is nothing short of epic and cements Original Sin as a producer with more than just the dancefloor in mind. Not that the dancefloor is let off lightly when the bass drops!
Last, but certainly not least, is another epic intro jam. Currently getting play from Kerrang! Radio amongst others, packed with Blade-Runner-esque musicality and Original Sin’s trademark pounding beats and grizzling basslines, 'Solar' rounds off the EP in style.
“I heavily road test all the tracks before they’re sent out to anyone else, so I was very confident that all the DJs would love it. We have had fantastic feedback from all the big players about this EP.” Claims Hype; “Andy C tells me he’s playing every track in his sets, Grooverider described ‘Overfiend’ as the biggest track out there right now, Pendulum told me they think ‘Solar’ is a great track. The list goes on… but you can make your own mind up!”
