fresh for the new year , oxygen music works explodes wth the upfront, in
-yer -face grooves of bass kittens. bubbling up from the san francisco
underground, here are four tracks for your many moods. picture emotions
that run the gamut from the lighthearted jazz - funk keyboards of barry
adamson to the post - punk hip hop of meat beat manifesto and you`ll have
an idea of where bass kittens makes its home.
bass kittens is more commonly known as jon drukman, a musician whose
credits read like an encyclopedia of electronic culture. as one - third of
the ultraviolet catastrophe , drukman scored the underground anthem , "the
trip," released on the critically acclaimed hardkiss label (and now
available on re-release from ultraviolet recordings) . it was featured on
the breakthrough compilation, california dreaming (ffrr) and an unreleased
single, "full moon (crescent mix)" appeared on silent records 50 years of
sunshine celebrating the 50th anniversary of the discovery of lsd. jon has
also remixed such artists as the orb, rozalla, anything box, up above the
world, and contagion .
even flying solo, drukman has already proven his weight in synthesizer
components. he was instrumental in the success of two other prominent
hardkiss singles, serving as sound engineer on god within`s "raincry" and
engineer / remixer on hawke`s "3 nudes in a purple garden." his ambient
alter-ego, artificial paradise, debuted last year on silent records' from
here to tranquility volume 1 compilation, and he has co-written two tracks
on the album from the astralwerks recording artist freaky chakra, lowdown
motivator.
with a resume like that, if bass kittens is not already on your turntable,
stop what you`re doing and throw it on because it`s time to dance!
