Lounge Stunts Beware...
This RE:UP manual is a reference guide to the artistic style surrounding downtempo music. We present a spectrum of both audio and visual artists that hold grip on the genre we categorize as Downbeatempo, the sweet, creamy center between downtempo, dub & hip-hop cultures. Its subtle universality and international themes enlighten to the point where you put down that martini glass, eject your Ultra Vibe Chill Out Hi-Fi Mushroom Space Lounge AM Session For The Blunted Beatheadz Vol. 72 Compilation, and pull down the mini disco ball that's been "chillin" since your days in the dorm. RE:UP shifts the scope to expose peripheral artists who not only produce, but influence and inspire exemplary downbeatempo. Plus, it's a great way to hide that coffee stain on your coffee table.
In This Manual:
Producers explore playing their own creations live. Bigga Bush and Thunderball's Steve Rasking discuss the pleasures and challenges of re-interpreting their studio produced tracks as a live performance. Nimber-fingered DJ Vadim toured this year with his band, The Russian Percussion. Even Imputor? Records' Jordan Snodgrass confesses that a dude pressing play behind a laptop "is boring...it's a matter of bringing new things into it." As for the art, we present the Middle Signature wherein a hand full of talented designers turn over the subject of Rivalries. And the RE:UP Photo Spread? Just some instruments on boobs. Hope you enjoy our premier.
