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 27^th, 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!”

Original Sin 'Dr Feels Good' EP

Artist: Original Sin

• A: Dr Feels Good
• B: 8 Figure Bass
• C: Overfiend
• D: Solar

Label: Playaz
Cat: PLAYAZ006
Released: 27^th April 2009

DJ Hype and Pascal’s Playaz imprint needs no introduction. Standing, as it does, at the forefront of their record label empire. Playaz’ first release, DJ Hazard’s immense D&B anthem ‘Busted’, smashed onto the scene and set the standard for every Playaz release to follow.

Stepping up to deliver the sixth instalment in the Playaz story is Original Sin. Delivering the goods as only he can with a fresh take on dancefloor drum & bass that’s already being battered on Fabio & Grooverider’s BBC Radio 1 show.

‘Dr Feels Good’ leads the way with an epic intro that leads to a drop so filthy you could be arrested under the terrorism act for dropping it in your set. Swiftly following are the bass-fuelled smashers ‘8 Figure Bass’ and ‘Overfiend’, both of which will decimate dancefloors whenever they’re drawn for. Finally the ‘Tramen’ break makes a welcome return to drum & bass tunes as Original Sin pulls out a new style on ‘Solar’ to close off this EP in fine style.

DJ Support: Every DJ privileged enough to get an advanced copy, obviously!

Original Sin Biography

While some of you may not be 100% familiar with the name Original Sin, all will become clear when you realise that this is the new production alias of none other than Adam Tindall, one half of the undisputed kings of dancefloor drum & bass, G Dub.

Born and bred in Newcastle, Adam was initially drawn to D&B by albums such as the incredible ‘Platinum Breakz’ compilation from the Metalheadz camp, and Grooverider’s legendary ‘Prototype Years’. His love for the music grew and grew until the desire to become more actively involved in the scene took hold and he took up DJing shortly before enrolling himself at Music College.

It was at college that Adam met Jake Carter and the infamous Generation Dub was forged. However, it wasn’t long before the Adam realised that Music College was a pointless pursuit and he decided to quit in order to concentrate fully on making music at home. It wasn’t long before drum & bass legend DJ SS snapped up two of G Dub’s early productions for his Reformed imprint.

The successive deal with DJ Hype & Pascal’s Ganja imprint proved to be the making of the G Dub franchise, as Adam and Jake’s studio let off more anthems than an Olympic Games opening ceremony and tracks such as ‘Tink Ya Bad?’, ‘Warp Speed’ ‘Forever’ and ‘Beast City’ collectively smashed up more dancefloors than a specialist nightclub demolition team.

In early 2008 Adam and Jake parted company and Adam decided to pursue solo avenues under the name Original Sin. The ridiculously heavy ‘Don’t Be Silly’, ‘Cheater Cheater’, ‘D For Danger’ and his remixes of Shy FX’s classic Ebony Dubsters track ‘Rah’ and Rufige Kru’s ‘Monkey Boy’ have gone a long way to stamping his individual mark on the Drum & Bass scene.

Original Sin shows no signs of slowing down, though, as Adam prepares to drop the huge ‘Dr Feels Good’ EP on Playaz, showcasing a completely refined and mature sound which is as deadly on the dancefloor as it is on the radio.
