The Beginning Session

artist: ICR (also known as Zahadum, Filled Vapidity, Ill Kid)
title: The Beginning Session
year: 1998-2002 (IMPDemoCD001-007 (2000-2002))

description: This is a collection of demo cd albums of my early tracks which I produced on Impulse Tracker. Started it in '98 so most of the tunes were written in my beginner" phase so expect low-quality, raw material. I just wanna have some fun listening to those old tunes again. I'm enjoying them... If you're familiar with my recent music you may be interested to download and listen them. Big thanks to Beatplexity for hosting!

Previously on Glack Audio (Part 1)

artist: V.A.
title: Previously on Glack Audio (Pt1)
label: Glack Audio
catalogue: GLAU010A
format: digital download
date: 07/2009
country: Hungary

info:

10 releases might not be too much, other labels may churn out double this number but we're happy and proud for Glack Audio has reached this milestone. We thought we shall reflect on the last 2 years' productions but not in a form of a 'back catalouge' compilation (we find that a bit boring) but asking a few top-notch hungarian producers to remix the Glack Audio tracks so far released.

The 'Previously On Glack Audio EP' will be released in 3 instalments during the summer and will feature remixes in different styles.

The first part of the EP will include: The talented breakbeat producer Aeron Aether (Morphosis records, Silk Digital) created an atmospheric yet energetic rethink on Flack.su's T-Break while the up-and-coming drum&bass producer Zero Method (DSCI4) has done a dubstep remix on Bennie Project's dark and moody Fleshwound.

The curiosity about this EP is that one of the label bosses Flack.su took his remix of ICR: Lack Of Tomorrows and has a re-shuffle on that. A remix remixed? Let's think of it as a VIP version.

This release is a sort of a milestone for us and we would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone all the support, trust and all the constructive criticism!

tracklist:

1. Flack.su - T-Break (Aeron Aether Remix) [7:21]

2. Bennie Project - Fleshwound (Zero Method Remix) [6:00]

3. ICR - Lack Of Tomorrows (Flack's Second Try) [6:33]

Feels Like Spring / Tingle Tangle

artist: ICR
title: Feels Like Spring / Tingle Tangle
label: Misspent Music
catalogue: MISSPENT012
format: digital download
date: 05/2009
country: Hungary

"The spring is my love, There is a spring rezzling in the trees, Felt my heart was delighted, rebirth of all kind, Sceneries which fulfill my soul, It will tranqually last forever in my mind" ~ RMB - Spring

press release:

In the footsteps of his debut release on Misspent, ICR is back again with two long-forgotten, yet highly-coveted tracks. Both "Feels Like Spring" and "Tingle Tangle" were lost for eons in a label's "forthcoming" folder. Not to worry though, as the seasons change, spring brings forth their time to blossom. After Sub's cold, winter release, Misspent 012 is all about uplifting and emotive textures. This colorful and vibrant offering is sure to put smiles on dancers' faces as they open up windows and let the fresh sounds in.

Sub - Cerberus EP

artist: Sub
title: Cerberus / Ode In The Back / The King (Cycom rmx) / The Shadow (ICR rmx)
label: Misspent Music
catalogue: MISSPENT011
format: digital download
date: 04/2009
country: Hungary

"Hence loathed Melancholy, / Of Cerberus and blackest Midnight born." ~ John Milton

Tracklist:

A. Cerberus
B. Ode In The Back
C. The King (Cycom remix)
D. The Shadow (ICR remix)

press release:

Continuing on with an international agenda, ICR pushes forward with his Misspent Music digital imprint. In the latest installment, the Hungarian label head invites SUB, a cornerstone in the Austrian drumfunk scene, for the eleventh release. SUB's four-track 'Cerberus EP' is a guaranteed adrenaline-fueled journey for all fans of tight, intricate drumwork. With ecstatic, complex drum edits and patterns (which operate on two different tempos), the lead track "Cerberus" immediately takes the listener's pulse to a higher level. On "Ode In The Back" we discover an elegant rhythm section, electrified effects, and melodic strings reminiscent of classic PHOTEK's smooth, jazzy sound. CYCOM's remix of "The King" brings forth tension in its sinister soundscapes and breaks with the sharpness of Samurai swords - a signature sound within the German producer's work. Last but not least, the label boss' version of "The Shadow" eases up the tempo to successfully round out the EP with a less breaky, more Neurofunk ending. ~ words by KuLi/Stunna

Defragment / Identity Fragment

artist: Justice & Momentum / ICR

title: Defragment / Identity Fragment

label: Modern Urban Jazz

catalogue: MJAZZCW001

format: 12"

date: 04/2009

info:

Very limited supply. Constructed Works 1- Limited blue vinyl. First edition in the CW series, A/Defragment- Justice & Momentum. Label boss Justice teams up with debutant, long time engineer and associate Momentum to bring the uber minimal, bit crunched 2 stepper. AA/ Identity Fragment- ICR finds the Hungarian wizard and Misspent musical youth at his usual intricate beat trickery and multiple layers. It starts off in a minimal sci-fi way morphing quickly into a tribal stylings, building towards epic strings at the end. Full of atmospheric goodness, it takes you on a journey and is a slice of fresh clever d & b. Both tracks have received support from Sinistarr, Flight, Fanu, Code,Stunna, Grooverider, Buzzby, LXC and has had heavy rotation on Bassdrive, Kunningmindz etc.

Autumn Melancholy / The Space Between Us (ICR remix)

"My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane." ~ Robert Frost

press release:

For Drum & Bass enthusiasts, it's always reassuring to know that from time to time, fresh talent appears to invigorate music with a unique and inspiring new sound. These days, this new sound not only comes from London, UK (the birthplace of Drum & Bass) but from all corners of the globe - and in our case: Saint Petersburg, Russia. Russian duo Bop & Dephecta have only released a few tunes to date, yet have already garnered praise and support from A-list DJs Flight, Nu:Tone, and London Elektricity (to name but a few). The milestone tenth release for ICR's Hungarian-based Misspent Music label features the pair's joint offering "Autumn Melancholy." Keeping with the label's tradition of releasing cinematic music for both body and mind, this very special track is an endless journey through long, open stretches of snow-covered land, with melancholic keys and strings strewn about. The story continues on the virtual flip of this digital release with ICR's remix of the duo's "The Space Between Us" (the original version was released on Syncopathic Recordings). The cool but not cold mood of the original remains alongside drums similar to Bop & Dephecta�s minimally crisp and solid patterns. Perfectly complementing the A-side of this landmark Misspent release, ICR manages to throw unique twists and imaginative turns into his remix offering. Influenced by a myriad of flavors from ambient, electronica, minimal to techno (these days, more often referred to as "microfunk"), both tracks in this release expertly balance on the edge of new subgenres. Misspent Music continues to push forward as a progressive label discovering new alternatives in Drum & Bass and beyond. Enjoy! ~ words by Mentalien/Stunna
