Quote:

"The elusive newcomer known only as Druid Cloak is set to release his debut record, The Grove EP, via Kastle Kastle's burgeoning Symbols label on October 9. Although he may be a mystery to most, the American artist has already garnered support from heavy hitters in the international bass scene—names such as Bambounou, Sepalcure, and Cedaa, among others. And for good reason, too; Druid Cloak's sound is crisp, varied, vibey, and as fantastical as his moniker. As he puts it, the producer makes "what the earth tells [him to make]," a method which he displays a command over on EP cut "Blessing of the Grove." Here, the futursitc sounds feel both organic and otherworldly as the track flows from a synth-heavy, half-time groove into a more bass-heavy, vocal-driven drop." - written by Anthony Princi XLR8R

BareSkin - Infinite Reflections HNH029



BareSkin - Infinite Reflections
Released November 29th 2012

 18 year old producer / dj from Winchester, UK, Josh Thompson aka BareSkin has graced us with two slices of deep tech house influenced bass music.  Recently signed to Hypercolour and Losing Suki and playing alongside UK heavyweights Groove Armada, Scuba, Jackmaster, Blawan and Maya Jane Coles, Josh is turning the heads of his peers and the industry alike.

We asked Josh a few questions for our friends and fans and to get to know him better and this is what he has to say:

HNH Q 1. Where were you born?

A. High Wycombe

HNH Q 2. What was the very first vinyl record you bought and from where?

A. Street Halo from HMV on Oxford Street

HNH Q 3. What would be your ultimate dream gig?
 
A. hmm thats a hard one, not really sure... i'd like to see pink floyd in their prime quite a lot

HNH Q 4. Do you have a routine for making music?

A. i dunno, not really i dont think, i mean theres some things i do same every time but thats just coz its the only way it can be done so i wouldn't really call that a routine. I just kinda play around and see what happens

HNH Q 5. What is your favorite musical instrument and why?

A. haha this is another hard one, i like lots of different instruments equally for lots of different reasons, however i would probably say guitars and synthesizers are the coolest ones ;)

HNH Q 6. Any shout outs, upcoming releases, tour dates?

A. I'll try give another shout out to TOM WICKENS coz the last interview i did got edited and that taken out it seems haha, as for dates I've got quite a busy november/december it seems so keep an eye out!


-The title track 'Infinite Reflections' has a heavy 4 on the floor feel to it and is laced with sultry vocal edits, dreamy atmospherics and synths backed by a deep and driving bassline.

-As the second track's name 'Inertia' implies a state of inactivity, it's really quite the opposite here. It starts off with a 4 on the floor kick then moves into strange and eerie atmospherics, giving rise to haunted synths that climb into mysterious harmonized vocal effects.
