DJ Elephant Power - Elepha In Da Flash

LP, vinyl, hi-quality German pressing, edition of 300x copies + download coupon.

Anyone who has ever experienced Nicolas Baudoux as a DJ will have fallen in love with his nimble fingers and the dynamic acceleration of pitch in his live sets. Today, he is part of a phalanx of DJs which have beaten a path between laptop-music and live performances to create the exceptional . He revitalizes the dancefloor with new musical styles which go against a uniform functionality.

The style "Skweee" is just such a mutant product of innovative DJ culture (besides other liaisons between Dubstep, Baile Funk and Electro, Digi-Dub or Acid-House). On his new album ELEPHA IN DA FLASH, Nicolas Baudoux still follows stylistic elements of Skweee,  the densely arranged and scope-widening tracks still contain the dramatic effects of Dubstep but also include a healthy dose of 8-bit warmth which takes the edge off the far view into darkness. Baudoux swiftly assembles a very modern and danceable "Art-Electro" - and one reason may be that he found acid house's pure euphoria just a bit too silly - and thus delivers a grandiose overture for an electronic funk genre (complete with anecdotic Mr. Oizo-quotes). Contrary to Scandinavian funk, only a small number of prototypical 8bit sounds can be heard.
