'GREENROOM' APRIL 18, 2012: HEAVY1 'MINIMALIZED' LP Feature
SPRING 2012 sees the release of the debut album from TOKYO-based producer HEAVY1. Entitled ''MINIMALIZED' and released on the esteemed RUBIK RECORDS imprint, this offering features an array of solo tracks, collaborations and tempos weaved together tightly by HEAVY1's stellar production techniques. Two vinyl samplers for the album have recently hit shops: Part 1 features HEAVY1 teamed up with DUTCH producers JUNE MILLER for "JUDGE" b/w "LIGHT UPON MY ROAD" (a solo HEAVY1 track featuring the vocal talents of IRIANN JOYCE); the second vinyl sampler sees HEAVY1 drop two hard-hitting solo excursions in form of "ONGAKU" b/w "FEAR THE SATELLITE." For up-to-date information on the full release of the CD and digital versions of 'MINIMALIZED' head on over to the RUBIK RECORDS Website.
For the APRIL 18th edition of 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE (2pm Chicago/8pm London), I'll air a special mix I've done featuring tracks from the 'MINIMALIZED' album as well as a number of selections from HEAVY1's impeccable discography.
With past and future signings on labels such as SAMURAI MUSIC, VAMPIRE RECORDS, DEMAND RECORDS, FOKUZ RECORDINGS, RUBIK RECORDS, SYMPTOM RECORDINGS, DUST AUDIO, SYNC:SAPHIR, and NU DIRECTIONS, 2012 also sees the launch of HEAVY1's own imprint: YABAI 84 RECORDS. With releases penned in from artists such as NEED FOR MIRRORS, FADE, and HEAVY1 himself, the future looks exciting for DRUM+BASS enthusiasts worldwide.
