Flavio Diners Presents Ugly Drums - Pink Apples album flac

Very underrated label! Very good release!

From the very first bars of the opening track 'Scorpio's Things Related' we are introduced to a world unlike our own. Filtered vocals and atmospheric pads set the mood while a deep synth bassline and tight kicks set the scene in motion. Dreamy strings glide over melodic piano chords and drum samples struggle to emerge while the tastiest vocoder grooves straight into your consciousness. Up next 'Can't Take You Down' goes really down and deep with its bubbly low end spectrum that supports an array of elements from the stuttering vocal cuts, evocative synth pads and sudden metallic stabs to on-the-point rim shots and sublimely mixed acoustic african drums.'Spend Some Time' greets us on the flipside in a seemingly haphazard manner that starts off smooth and soulful then turns into a steamy body moving episode of wide kicks, raw futuristic synths and whirling sci-fi strings only to subside into the initial state of sleazy rhodes, rhythmic claps and repeating hi-hats. 'Spend Some Time' completes the journey with a lush mid-end-centred piece featuring both Rhodes and Wurlitzer trademark keys, dramatic vocal cuts and a complete drum arrangement which also features some clever filtering on the cymbals. There is however no shortage of low-end on this one either, as the kick drum is fat as fuck and the bass full and wide.Ugly Drums' 'Pink Apples' comes in a special packaging that features self-made hand-numbered covers in five different colours and is what I would call the definition of underground house and the perfect embodiment of its deeper lush sounds. Limited edition of 497 copies so don't sleep on this one!
