The ambient and atmospheric sounds of Crimean are truly unique. Eclectic cultural influences from time living in Japan and Australasia have obviously influenced his writing, as has his deep-seated knowledge of the history and development of DnB. Crimean has been busy since leaving NZ shores to reside on the other side of the ditch.
‘This Side of Tomorrow’ rattles with more familiar Drum and Bass beats- it has an old school feel for sure- reminiscent of old Big Bud tracks and Good Looking Records from the late 90’s- a drifting roller.
It would be fair to say these are not your everyday drum and bass tracks- in fact some don’t even fit that genre label at all- they are dark and experimental border crosses- cinematic sound-scapes that make me think of night time train journeys through neon lit urban environments. ‘Lonely souls (Crimean remix)’ pulls on those inner heartstrings and is surprisingly uplifting in its pared back and melodic makings. I like this track a lot.
