Far over on the West Coast of the USA we find a room full of drum machines, samplers and keyboards. Hard at work is Israel 'Iz' Gravning aka Tone Scientist, who's been using this Seattle studio to produce genre-defying future music for more than 25 years.
Landing somewhere between Luke Vibert's Wagon Christ moniker, Pat Thomas' recently reissued "New Jazz Jungle" LP, Objekt's high-tek bass hybrids and a soundsystem friendly smattering of breaks and bass; Tone Scientist has conjured up something decidedly fresh but totally following the lineage of modern nightclub developments so as to sound natural and logical. An impressive double EP that skirts through numerous tempos and flavours, all with the dub woofers and a heavy sense of rhythm in mind. Recommended!

STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: A more breaksy offering from Basic Moves and Tone Scientist who observes the early days hardcore, jungle and broken beat and re-packages the vibe for modern dancefloors. Plenty of bass across a jam packed double 12" pressed super heavy and nice for the DJs sticking two fingers up at the controller brigade.TRACK LISTING
