Eskmo (Ninja Tune) to Present New Live Program in Moscow
Клубные российские · 14.08.2012
Happy B-day, Last Step!
You definitely should check out this party, dear friends, especially if words like "Bass and beats music, old and new house, products from labels Planet Mu, Warp, Ninja Tune, Hotflush Recordings, Numbers, and Night Slugs, new Russian producers" make your hearts (like ours, yes-yes) beat faster. This Saturday, August 18, you will be able to fully enjoy the atmosphere of a big outdoor celebration. Approaching the number "2", the promotion team has been moving quite rhythmically and energetically. And now they can proudly celebrate — for the Birthday, none other than Eskmo, the Wizard of the "Bass" land, an experimenter and sensitive, talented artist, is coming to visit.
Californian Brandon Angelides began his musical career back in the late 90s. Ornate braindance, gloomy drum-and-bass, experimental techno — the first albums of the artist perfectly matched the spirit of the times. However, true fame came to Eskmo only in the late 2000s, with the release of records on Warp and Planet Mu. By that time, the artist managed to develop a unique, incomparable musical formula: combining the energy of dubstep, the technological sound of glitch-hop, and funky melodies, Eskmo found the absolute golden mean. Despite the abundance of "smart" genre tags, Brandon succeeded in keeping his music extremely accessible — each of his tracks can confidently be called a "song." Already in 2010, the iconic label Ninja Tune offered Brandon a contract. Such collaboration turned out to be a serious step for the label, as the artist's music clearly did not fit the traditional genre policy of Ninja Tune.
The hit "Cloudlight," released as a single on Ninja Tune, fully revealed the artist's potential. To the languorous melodies and familiar technological sound, another new element was added — the vocals of Brandon himself, successfully complementing the overall picture. "Cloudlight" turned out to be a sort of precursor to the album that came out on Ninja Tune just a few months later. Juicy, experimental, and at the same time seemingly devoid of any genre affiliation, "Eskmo" turned out to be not so much a post-dubstep album, but rather a pop album — in the good sense of the word. And now, after two years, the second long-awaited album of Eskmo is set to be released in the summer of 2012.
Eskmo's live performance is a symbiosis of an audio program and vivid video installations.
