Alert comes to RSC after beginning to make his mark by releasing music on
Beatport through Colorado underground label Dope Recordings. With this
release we see Rope Swing Cities not heading in a new direction, but
simply broadening the sounds we represent.
The tracks on this E.P. are most suited for peak hour on the dance floor
when youre ready to lock the crowd into a groove. The title Life In The
Hive is very accurate in that sense, as the minimal rhythms and sound
structures that make up each of the tracks will help to bring all
listeners to a similar meditative state, where most conscious thought
slips away and they find themselves only able to move in ways that the
music orders them to.
The seemingly stark landscape that these tracks provide belie a subtle
depth once you work your way beneath the surface. The aggressive rhythm
structure and pulsing bass tones fill in the space left by the sparse
synth lines and soundscapes.
As a whole, the Life In The Hive EP offers two levels of listening. On one
hand a contemplative journey through the powerless existence of yet
another drone, and in complete contrast, four powerful driving songs to
keep things hopping during intense dj sets when youve got the crowd
jackin late into the night. This is minimal techno in the purest sense of
the term.
