When you see PCMS and Dacameras names a release, you know it's going to be something special. Can't even pick a favourite on this one, they're all excellent. Favorite track: Heavy Soul.

Riley Kesselring One of the best of the year! Amazing. Favorite track: Friends & Enemies.

Carboreum feat. raBinov From start to finish an instant cult classic! An incredible piece of drumfunk work extending even beyond the genre and defining new styles. I like to listen to this at night looking out the window... Favorite track: Stasis in Darkness / Astral Melt.

about

Dacamera's "Don't Call It Jazz, It's Social Music" opens suspensefully with a couple of layered sounds and noise. A drummer and bass player softly prepare in the background and then pick up into a bluesy jazz duet. But it isn't jazz. As live as Dacamera sounds, this is sequenced music. And is evident as the drumming starts shuffling through different snares.

The intro transitions seamlessly into the title track. The arrangement mimics a quartet adding keys and saxophone. Friends & Enemies, Swiss Cartel, and Heavy Soul follow. And are built up like jazz arrangements sometimes with strings or brass or woodwinds. At around a 170 bpm tempo with recognizable drum and bass patterns, they bridge the two styles. The tone is light and energetic.

Memento Mori and Tipping Point create more urgency. Sparse guitar notes growling and distorted lo-fi sounds shift the influence from jazz to blues. Layered breaks and a classic dnb break make appearances. Tipping Point grows sparse in an extended outro setting up the final piece.

Stasis in Darkness / Astral Melt are two tracks in one. In the first half, the sonically dense stanzas of a somber poet set a retrospective mood before a final seamless transition leaping into future seeking drum and bass.

about

Pinecone Moonshine Portland, Oregon

Run by Nic TVG, Pinecone Moonshine is a collection of Drumfunk (drum and bass) and other abstract and ambient music.

See the neocities link below for the demo policy.

Majority of the tracks are melancholy collages of noise, heavily processed samples, and atmospherics driven by broken break beats and heavy sub. Free jazz, early electronics, blues, and funk are noticeable influences. ... more
