Daniel Avery - Drone Logic album flac

Daniel Avery is a young DJ and producer living in London. He makes dance music – very good dance music. So far, so straightforward – but then it’s worth stating the obvious when it comes to Avery. In a scene in which the rules for electronic music are constantly being redefined, what sets him apart is just how loyally he sticks to the templates laid down by his predecessors. This is a debut album of pure four-to-the-floor virtuosity: one that pays its respects to everyone from Cajmere to The Chemical Brothers

Daniel Avery - Drone Logic In the world of electronic music, Daniel Avery is what we might call a rockist. He grew up on guitar music in his hometown of Bournemouth, and came to dance music relatively late. He releases on Erol Alkan's indie-friendly Phantasy Sound, his tracks make melody their chief concern, and they aren't the least bit fashionable. All of this makes him quite refreshing. All I Need," buried deep in the album's latter half, hits like an ecstasy cluster bomb; those big drowning-in-reverb chords are just made for an audience completely off its face. These Nights Never End" takes things into the darker dimension of that druggy sound, all menacing belches and spasming basslines. An album of throbbing club tunes could easily get tedious, but Avery's productions are lithe enough that it flies by in a flurry of twangy synths and pounding drums.

Drone Logic ‎(CD, Album + CD, Mixed + CD, Mixed, Promo). Phantasy Sound, Because Music. Enjoying this album alot, although it does feel quite derivative in places. Free Floating sounds like Positive Education by Slam to my ears and parts of Drone Logic remind me of Rez by Underworld. Still a great record though.

On his new Drone Logic, Daniel Avery schews the hyper-rhythmic minimalism and throwback New Jersey garage sound that currently power UK club music in favor of soupy, riff-driven compositions that borrow from UK fetishes past: burbling acid house, elegant Detroit techno, big beat.

Daniel Avery occupies an odd spot amongst underground dance producers: he values largesse.

After a string of impressive singles and an exciting entry in the Fabriclive series, techno producer Daniel Avery's debut album Drone Logic fulfills all the promise of his early work and delivers something pretty special.
