ORCA 001EP
|
The first release from the Orca label comes from XI, whose track "The Ghost" captures the exact sentiment and ethos of Orca. XI creates an instant vibe with a short and energetic intro before the simple drum pattern and tough sub workout release this track's potential. Headhunter's remix possesses an unequalled sense of paranoia that makes it perfect for both club and headphone listening. Strong DJ support already from Loefah, Appleblim, Pinch, Martyn, Ramadanman, Peverelist, and many more.v

OFFROAD 003EP
|
"After an aural assault from DZ on OFF001, and Twisted's low-slung grimey offering on OFF002, Toronto's Christian Andersen aka XI has delivered something special for number three. First up is 'Smoke Signal,' and right from the off, you know it's a no-nonsense affair with militant marching drums and livid swells of buzzing static. This tune's all about the drop though, and what a drop it is! The unadulterated bass-bin mayhem is unleashed with little more than a muttered warning, with pounding 808 subs worrying your speakers while the paranoiac FX set your nerves jangling. On the flip, 'Strategy' takes a cue from rising dubstep star Martyn, mixing tight post-UKG beats with thick textured pads and deep, bluesy sax licks. As the tune progresses, XI drops in a non-stop bouncer of a bass line, resonant squarewaves bulging out beneath the urgent offbeat stabs and layered atmospherics. Supporting DJs include: Joe Nice (Dubwar USA), RSD (Tectonic), Komonazmuk (H.E.N.C.H.), Ramadanman (Hessle Audio), Headhunter (Tempa), Rossi B (A.R. M.Y./BBC 1Xtra), Markle (2nd Drop), Tayo (Cool & Deadly) and many more."
