The new album, ‘The Masters Of Mayhem’ by Underkind, is out on the third of July, 2020 on SoundCloud!
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Underkind is a DJ and Producer who is currently based in Bristol, UK. Producing since the young age of fourteen, Underkind has banked twenty years of experience. Having recently completed his MA in Sound Production, Underkind has worked with the likes of Gorilla Tactics and Noise Test, as well as released music on Sydonia Recordings, Red Alfa Records and Division Bass.
He's been performing at festivals and events now for many years including Boomtown, Membrain, Shindig, Jungle Fever & Gorilla Tactics just to name a few. Underkind moved to Bristol so that he could pursue music at the “major home of Bass”. As a multi-instrumentalist, Underkind focuses on creating “deep and technical electronic music to captivate the listener”.
Underkind’s discography to date consists of several releases including: ‘Symbiosis Ep’, ‘King Of Kings’, ‘The Discovery Ep’, ‘Maxim’, ‘The Creator’, ‘Sound Of A Dance’ and ‘Faked’.
Inspired by his ancestor James Baker Pyne, Underkind aims to continue creating new and uniquely artistic work. While travelling, he collects found sounds that he uses in his unique productions. He composes with a blend of software, hardware and live instrumental elements that fuse to form his “hybrid” style.
This creativity was always a prevalent part of Underkind’s musical approach. Having previously lived with a barman who owned a fishbowl that he used to serve drinks, Underkind would record cars in the rain through the fishbowl to capture a recording which had a “sonic identity” that was his own.
FEATURED RELEASE
The new album, ‘The Masters Of Mayhem’ by Underkind, is out on the third of July, 2020 on SoundCloud! This upcoming forty-six minute and eleven second album consists of eight diverse tracks:
1. The Masters Of Mayhem
2. Sighting
3. A Mile Away
4. Optimus Prime
5. Right Way
6. Most Welcome
7. Waster
8. Wealthy
The featured vocalist used on some of the tracks is May Faith. The diversity within the album, although remaining true to Underkind’s style, is considerable when you compare the tracks: the panned percussion, atmospheric sounds and powerful sub-bass of ‘The Masters Of Mayhem’; the ominous synth layers that amalgamate to form the smooth yet eerie flow of ‘Wealthy’; the effected percussion coupled with the delayed piano riff and vocal layers in ‘Sighting’; the complexity of the instrumental layers and panned sounds in ‘Waster’ that captivate the listener’s attention.
Fans of Underkind, along with those who appreciate new and creative electronic music, will definitely want to check out this album in full. Make sure you follow Underkind on your social media to keep up to date with upcoming releases!
