One of the best London Elektricity’s tunes and a great example how a good vocal can lift drum’n bass trach to another level.

Freak Power “Trip Through Your Mind”
Couldn’t find better video on Youtube with this song, but I like it so much that I had to share it even tough it ends here rapidly :-). From the great Freak Powers‘s LP “More of Everything for Everybody“.
Charlotte Gainsbourg “Vanities”
I’m not huge Charlotte’s fan. I like her, but as she is pupil of critics some of her works seems to be overestimated. This song definitely isn’t and “IRM” album either.
Seba & Paradox (feat. Robert Manos) “Last Goodbye”
Colaboration of Seba and Robert Manos – here with significant contribution of Paradox – for me is one of the best of all drum’ bass “producer + vocalist” cooperations. For me top “teams” are:
- LTJ Bukem + MC Conrad
- LTJ Bukem + DRS
- Lenzman + Riya
- Seba + Kirsty Hakwshaw
Any other propositons? (feel free to leave in comments)
Long Arm “The Branches”
Recently i posted Long Arm’s (in fact Georgy Kotunov) video but I like his works so much that I have to share a little more of his music . Gregory is from Orneburg, which is situated very close to Russian- Kazakhstan border. Now he lives in Moscow and having provincial background he makes great music, which seems to be made somewhere in London or NYC studio. It is a sign of our times, when a man from a place so distant from a centers of musical life of a genres he is involved makes music so deeply immersed in sounds so remote from his origin culture. His albums (“The Branches”, “Organic”) sound extremely western while still having some eastern fantasia, which gives his tunes so great sound. Fantastic samples, loops and much, much more.
Gilles Petterson from BBC Radio 1 chose “The Waterfall Inside Me” by Long Arm the best track of the year 2011. For me it’s not the best last year tune, but it’s deamn good like a rest of his works.
Check this track called “The Branches” (feat. Teknikal Development).
